there would be no cherries for

when he is in the cherry-tree he

Many other supposed-to-be

are, until now their lives are an
open book. This work, done by
the biological survey, has brought
out some very astonishing things
besides natural history, for it has
been so thoroughly and so pains
takingly done that not only is the
list of foods for each bird for the
entire year accurately tabulated
but the average bulk amount of
each kind of food is known so
closely that values in dollars and
cents can be reckoned, and thus
the actual live value to the ma
tion of each individual bird be
easily computed.
For forty years l have made it
a part of my daily life to watch
and to study all nature and espe-
cially to study our common song
birds. This has given me a great
volume of accurate information
so that I have for years had a
very good working idea of the
value of birds as insects and
weed seed destroyers.
1t remains for the biological
survey, however, to get these
things down to scientific accu-
racy because, where l was only
one man they put hundreds of
observers into the field and thus

What Bird Life Means to Us

Bird life, meaning the common
wild birds with which every
country boy is familiar, from the
old black crow to the meadow
lark, black-bird, bobolink, and all
the rest of the song-birds, is of
much more value each year to the
people of the United States than
the biggest railroad system in
the county. That may seem to be
pretty broad statement yet it
falls far short of stating the &C
tual facts.
The agricultural department of
the United States Government
has kept tab on the birds, what
they do, what they eat every day
in the year, and what their habits.

able to bring in expert scientific
observers and laboratory men
whose life business is the STUDY
of bugs, good, bad and lndif-

to examine the crops of birds sent
in by hunters from all over the
country.
Immediately things began to
happen; certain insects were
found Gin whole specimens and
fragments) in the crops of many
birds; certain other insects were
found only in the crops of GER

only weed seeds of one kind or
another; others contained a great
mixture of seeds of various weeds
and many others contained both
seeds and bugs.
The strangest thing developed
by this work was that robins and
certain other birds, long accused
of being fruit eaters and there
fore detrimental to mankind,
were absolutely cleared of the
charge because their diet is al
most entirely insects with only

Sir George Otto Trevelyan writes
to the London Times: "A relative of
mine, who had written the Life of
Garibaldi, afterward undertook to
write the Life of John Bright was
sometimes asked how it was that he

heroes; to which l used to reply that

life's business. than. John Bright and

grandsons are in the military service

THE LAW AND THE LAcKEY.

At the close of the eighteenth CEN
fury the families of the Marquis dan
glade and the Comte de Montgomerie
lived in peace and harmony in large
house in the Rue Royale, Paris. They
lived rather luxuriously, and while 1t
was held that most of the marquis
funds came from the gambling tables,
nobody held that against him. He
was man of fine appearance and
charming manners, and his wife was
a beauty. De Montgomerie had for
tune of his own and didn't need to
go to the gambling establishments to
earn his bread in the sweat of his
fingers. He kept large establish
ment, with servants and horses and
chariots and the d'Anglades lived in
the same house because of the firm
friendship existing between the two
families.
It came to pass that the Montgom-
cries decided to go to their country
house for a while, and invited the
Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1916-05-12

guilt He was convicted and SEN
fenced to the galleys for life, and
presently set forth on his mangled
limbs, as a member Of chain gang
bound for Toulon. The story of the
persecution of the d'Anglades seems
more like a chronicle Of the dark
ages than a record of modern hap
penings. The marquis, whose life
had been spent in gilded ease. found
the journey torture; and the brutes
in charge of the chain gang seemed to
take vicious delight in adding to his
misery in every possible way. He
was chosen out for all their barbarity,
perhaps because he was an aristocrat.
League after league he toiled along
the endless white road. his feet bleed
ing, his legs swollen, his body COW
cred with bruises, and his heart
broken.
At last death came to his relief. He
died of exhaustion at Marseilles. ana
It is doubtful whether any man ever
greeted the deliverer with greater JOY.
Meanwhile his wife had been taken
from sick bed and dragged to the
bar of Justice by the tireless lieuten-
ant general. who was fairly basktng
in the well-earned fame this case had
brought him. She was found guilty
of something or other, and imprisoned
in an underground dungeon, where. IN
cold and slime and darkness, she be-
came the mother of daughter; and
mother and babe were left there with
no attention, except when piece OF
black bread was thrown in, as to a
wild beast. Afterwards the Tailor who
did this service said that he ofen
heard the wretched woman moaning.
ooh, God, why hast thou forsaken
me?" Surely few people have had bet
ter reason to ask the question. But
God had not forsaken her entirely.
About this time former lackey OF
the Comte de Montgomerie's felt with
in him a spiritual yearning. He real
lied that his sins we're as scarlet, and
he would be as white as snow. He
wished to become priest, and devote
his life to good works. With this
praiseworthy ambition in his breast,
he set about undoing the evil he had
wrought, so far as he could. He knew
the truth about the robbery at the
Montgomeries', and he wrote an anony.
nous letter to friends Of the dan.
