thousand quails. Snow falls, then thaws
and then freezes and the earth is sealed

When an exquisitely gentle voice asked
The Washington Herald by telephone last

from crepe de chine, the frenzied re-
porter who received the request for in
formation beat a tattoo on his coco with
the receiver, tore his hair, and felt him

anxious inquire to call him up in fifteen

was alleged to take blood stains out OF

instinct, feel sure, causes the pere-
grination of birds. Practically all birds,
except quails, grouse, and wild turkeys,
change their habitations twice year.
QuaIls, grouse. and wild turkeys are
permanent residents of.the regions where
they are born and grow up.
"The robin, strong bird living on
seeds and insects, would have the same
fighting chance in the North during win
ter for his supply Of food as has the quail.
but he hurries away early in autumn to
warmer climate. He is back in spring,
often in February. and there are no in
sects astk at that season OF the year,
and no new crop of seeds has grown
meanwhile He travels to and fro be-
cause 1t is his nature to do So"
DO robins born in ones orchard or on
ones lawn return year after year?''
Il think they do. My present home is
in Acklen Park. just outside Of Nashville.
We have about 100 acres of lawn and
forest Birds are protected. Guns are
never fired upon the premises Robins

no doubt they return the feeling F. NJ
Ollie, a government official In the Rocky
Mountain district, says that six pairs
of pelicans were bred at the Minidoka
Reservation in 1912 and that three pairs
Of them came back this year. Mr. Ollie
also says that Ct every nine ducks and
geese which go South from his part Of
the country. only one returns in the
spring. ...r
THE migration of birds has several I'M
known and curious angles. We know.
talking about robins, that they spread
themselves over :he country in the spring
from Tennessee TO Canada. The flight OF
some ends within 200 miles of the Gulf
OF Mexico. Others keep on into Penn
syIvania and Ohio. Still others do not
step until they reach Michigan and Iowa.
1t is so with all migratory birds. Are
they returning to their old temporary
homes? 1t would seem so.
One of the Mysteries Explained.
But why does one pair Of robins build
their nest in Kentucky while another pair
keeps on until they reach the Lake
Superior country? My own opinion is
that old. weak. and injured birds drop
out OF the long professions which wing
their journey northward each year. They
raise families where they happen to be.
and the children. the following season,
return to their old homes, mate, and
have children OF their own. So We find

CAPTURE BEAR WITH LARIAT.
Spokane Men Bring Bruin $50 Miles
to Town I'm Auto.


Spokane. Wash, Dec. l3-Capturing a
1eo-pound black bear with a lariat and
bringing the animal alive a distance OF
150 miles in an automobile was the feat
performed by c. E. Riegel, manager OF
Spokane taxicab company, and Bert
Sparrow.
The two men were hunting near Leav-
enworth. in central Washington, and
their dogs freed the bear.
Riegel prepared to shoot bruin. but
agreed to permit Sparrow to try to cap
ture the animal alive. While Sparrow
went to camp for a rope, Riegel and the
dogs kept the bear in the tree. Climb
ing a tree near the bears retreat. Spar
row succeeded in throwing a moose
over the beasts head. After that Il
was an easy matter TO choke bruin mtg
insensibility and pack him out to the
automobile.
The bear refused to eat for several
days. but hunger finally throttied his
pride.
