servant may rest as well as thou.
Ell. 31:13-Speak thou also unto the

Isa. 5S:I3-If thou turn away my

BY MARY AQUIN.

If you haven't discovered that Rock
Island has been selected as the sum
mer home of more birds than usual
you should set Big Ben at the O'Clock
a. m. stage and arise to hear the
sweetest babel of tongues. You will be
inclined to think that each spear OF
grass and every leaf is a bird and that
you are the victim of heavenly delu-
sion.
You owe it to yourself il you are of
the sound-sleep variety to at least
once be a listener at the spring festi-
val of the song birds. II wont matter
how much you have paid in the past
for grand opera seats or TO what ex-
pense you went for proper regaha to
listen to human songsters- For the
price of Ben's stirring alarm you can
enjoy, in pajamas If you wiil-these
artists are not temperamental-an
augmented chorus of lovely voices,
breath from out heavens confines, the
melody of which cannot be duplicated
by earthly Carusos or Heinks-
These grand choruses are held every
morning. hours approximately 4 70 g.
admission absolutely free. Whereas
individual songsters may MARBLE some
tones for your especial benefit as you
pass in the roadside at other hours, it
is only in greeting to the rising sun,
heralding the new day with all its
magnified glories for man and bird
and beast, that the bird chorus is
sung.
Lifting up their voices to God"
That is what you will say If you hear
it for there is plaintive note OF sorrow.
cry of anguish. paeons of the thankful,
interludes of the happy-all phases of
emotion, divine and human is contain
ed in the galaxy of song.
Have you ear for the voice OF the
lutte? 1t is here. Is a xzylophone quar-
tet your favorite? It is yonder Not a
note of Haydn or composition OF Mo
Fart is omitted.
AS you lean from your window 10
watch for a glimpse of the myster-
ious symphony conductor. circle
of wrens sweep past you, alight on the
hedge and your search is forgotten in
twinkling harmony that comes from
out the brambly LEAKAGE. Hark, From
Spring Song" and you know it is
from the heart of a robin. And thus
is ecstacy the hymns of all nations,
the lives of all creatures, the emotions
of men, the loves of the pure of heart
are interpreted in the grand galaxy.
At no other time of the day may the
combined voices of the birds be heard.
You may think to cheat yourself by
listening at twilight 10 the evening
songs of the birds but it is only the
snatch of bar or two of the music Of
the morning hours. The world is
atwitter with puising note, each
branch sways an unseen virtuoso. the
air is a riot OF sound until you are
washed clean in dew Of exquisite
melody.
Then open your easement window
tomorrow morning. The symphony
will watt in to you, its magic spell will
be cast about you and you will begin
the day as do these decorative singing
bits of the Creators love, refreshed
in spirit and in strength.
Having heard, do not forget the
singer and his song. He needs your
protection.
Whose household words are songs IN
many keys,
Sweeter than instrument OF man
e'er caught
Whose habitations in the tree tops
even
Are household houses on the road to
heaven"

WOULD TAX 100000
GIFTS OF D.. 0. MILLS
State Comptroller Appeals
From Ruling %Exempting
Christmas Presents.

The state Comptroller has prepared
an appeal from the decision Of Surro-
gate Cohalan exempting from taxation
the Christmas gifts of 1000, 900 each
by the late II. Ogden Mills to his son,
Ogden, and his daughter, Elizabeth NJ.
Reid. The Surrogate found that for
all practical purposes the elder NAAlS
showed intent to deliver the gifts dur
ing his lifetime, and for this reason they
should not he taxed because they did
not pass to the Conees after death. The
State Comptroller contends the gifts
were not delivered until after the death
of the donor.
In a letter to his son, Ogden. written
from California OH December IA, 1909,
Mr.. Mills said: II want TO give you
and o sister for your Christmas
presents 81, 900. 900 each. I think per-
haps the best way to do II Is TO give
you each 5000 shares of Atchlson. max
ing up the difference by check"
Ogden Mills had received power OF
attorney from his father to transact the
latter's business and had virtual con-
troll over all his securities, He and his
sister contend hat title to the shares
OF stock passed TO them at once. as the
son had access and control over the
stock. But the Comptroller maintains
the stock in question remained unap-
portioned. undistributed and undelivered
until after the death of the donor.
