The Sons of Erin

AT the mention of red headed

sciously begins 10 smile They i'm
mediately think OF some ridiculous
Joke somebody has got off on Pat and
Mike or on Bridget, the Irish servant
girl.
The mental picture which a great
many people connect with the Irish
Is that OF a small matched cottage
with the pig in the parlor. This pic
ture Is just about as true to the Irish
as the picture which ,he Irish con-
meet with America is 10 the Ameri-
cans. An American travelling In Ire
land, entered q picture house which
had advertised an American scene
for that evening. The picture shown
was a rough. western scene with In
dians running through the country.
The Irish consider such picture
typical of American life.
What q great thing It would be If
few more of the Irish could visit
our country, ani few more Ameri-
cans could visit the Emerald Isle!
Doubtless you have all had great
deal of fun at the expense of Pat and
Mike. but did You ever stop 10 think
what the Irish in America have meant
to our country? Bob Taylor in his
eloquent tribute to the Sons of Old
Ireland" says, without our Irish
names. the sky of our national glory
would lose half its stars"
In the year 171s, $50 Ulster Scots,

Whether the country boys and girls
make good when they go to the city,
depends largely upon the boy and

BIRDS

Birds are beautiful little creatures.
There are different colors some of
them are red and some blue. The
@uns are q kind of brown. The robin
ID a beautiful bird. its body is blue
With q red breast.
They build their nests in trees and
bushes, sometimes they build, In the
house. One time we hung S bucket
With some straw In 1t in the top of the
porch, and some wr4ns came and
made nest. They built there every
year until last year because mother
took 1t down. She said they sang too
loud and walked her UP every morn
Ing. They would bring the young ones
some worms and they would open
their mouths and the grown .one
would put the worms In their mouth,
but they wouldn't have enough and
would hollow for more. The mother
bird sits on the eggs and while she
hatchea the eggs the father bird
brings her nice fat worms. They eat
worms and bugs, and the woodpecher
pecks bugs and insects out OF the
trunk OF the tree. The birds teach
their young birds where to find them.
but all birds don't eat bugs and
worms. The canary eats bird seed
and pepper grass. The hawk Is big
gray bird and it eats chickens. The
owl eats rabbits
