Maybe you've been Ia the wOeds

birds darting this way and that about

ber Is the pilot snake.
He's one of the boldest burglars
among our snakes, and birds are his
principal victims. He can climb trees,
Chamber over bushes and race over the
ground with equal speed. He grows
In the woods he looks terrible, but he
isn't.
He's entirely uonvenomous, and he
doesn't ''charm" birds, as many people
believe. 1t may lie that bird will
become SO frightened at seeing one Of

as for charm, that's all myth. The
pilot snake doesn't need to charm his
prey. He's too good climber.
Often the pilot snake il mistaken for
the blacksnake. The latter has n
white throat and is>bluish rather than
black. The young pilot snake has
white spots. In addition to birds and
eggs, It eats insects and even small
animals. 1t will climb tree and

The Word Cameo.

his sword and all the land within the
limit of which n cock growing at a GER

circumstance the little town which
grew up in the center Of this territory
was called Calicoda. or "the cock crow

goods were imported into England

Offer Further Objection to

WAsHINGToN, April 2i.-Japan
w has renewed her objection to
provisions in the pending immigration
bill which are construed as virtually
enacting into law the celebrated
RoOt-Takahira agreement for the re-
striction of immigration to the United
States and including japanese with
Hindus in an excluded class.
The administration. 1t was said to-
day, fears no difficulty in arranging
the terms of the bill so as to avoid
wOunding japanese feeling and to
that end President Wilson soon will
confer with house and senate leaders.
ViscOunt Chinda. the japanese am
bassador who already has left two
memor3ndums with the state depart

with President Wilson by appoint
ment which was made ten days ago.
The administration, while realizing
the extent Of Asiatic exclusion senti-
ment in the Pacific coast states. is de-
scribed as fully sensible of the dis
advantage of agitating the long stand
ing controversy with Japan and is
confident that the situation can be
smoothed out satisfactorily to all in
terests.
Japan's revival of the question at
this time attracted much interest in
the capital. but it was pointed out
that her representations could scarce
ly be delayed, If 1t were desired to do
so, because the bin already has
passed the house and has been report
ed to the senate for passage.
Although the senate immigration
committee made some changes in
phraseology, the terms of the exclu-
sion section still are offensive to the
japanese.
