BY GARRETT p. sEBv1ss.

THE United States once possessed
a distinctively American bird.
belonging to the great family of
the pigeons, but different from all
other species OF that family. and so re-
uarkable for its vast numbers and
its peculiar habits that it became re-
nOwned as one Of the greatest marvels
Of the new world. It was called the
passenger pigeon. Its singularities
marked it off from its distant rela-
tives in the old world as sharply as
the American red man was distin-
guished from the European.
It was so conspicuous a feature Of
American life that like the buffalo
OF the plains, il passed int our htera-
tUre, where il plays a part unlike that
taken by any other bird in any quarter
of the world. other birds have been
sung by poets for the beauty Of their
songs. or their love of mans compan-
ionship or the aspiring ideals which
they seem to symobolize. The pass
enger pigeon forced itself upon the
attention OF American historians and
descriptive writer's by the simple
countlessness Of its hosts. Where they
passed they charged the aspect OF the
landscapes; they covered the sky and
shielded off the sunlight they broke

The manner in which the German government is now preparing to keep up the supply of food was vividly il- lustrated in letter received in Se- ward last Saturday by Hans Rieg from hs sister who resides in Ger many. The lady states that she had flowers growing in a plot of gound near her house but that the officials came around and ordered the flowers pulled out and potatoes and other food stufs sOwn. Hoping still to save her blossoms she took the roots and trees into a cellar where the sunlight pene- trated and by the carrying in of some soil she planted them there. They seemed to be growing nicely when the officials came around again. They looked at the cellar and after a moment declared that if flowers could grow there potatoes also could, and again the flowers were ordered out to make way for the spuds.
