A crowd of probably % people liv-

OF the opinion that he just butted in
for little excitement. At any rate
the robin did not appear to have any

The birds fought for more than half

to their maple tree and the woodpeck-

fight alone, the little Priole perched
itself on a limb to rest.
A woodpecker, peeping out of its
nest in the elm, saw the intruder and
made an attack on the oriole. The
watchful parent orioles, just across the
street, saw the attack and fled to their

told in Santa Barbara of the strange
experience of his last cruise.

escapes as that of a missionary we
met in Samoa" he said. This good
fellow was preaching in one of the
islands in which cannibalism Is prac-
ticed. While trying vainly to make
converts he was captured by a canni-
bal king. To his surprise, he was i'm
mediately released. His release, how
ever, was made on the condition that
he carry small sealed packet to a
neighboring king.
"The missionary was so grateful
that, meeting Unexpectedly a de-
tachment of English sailors, he re-
fused to accompany them to safer ter
ritory. The sealed packet from his
benefactor would be delivered as he
had promised. But an officer in the
midst of the discussion opened the
