thing more. It is the very abandon Of
music. The bobolink while singing
seems to be in perfect frenzy. He
is tipsy with glee; he actually stag
gers in his flight; for he cannot rise
above the meadow on a summer morn
ing without attempting to beat time
with his wings to his own music. and
the wings cannot keep the pace.
1t was bacchanalian element in the
singing of the bobolink which ap-
pealed more than anything else to one
of the humber poets, Christopher p.
Cranch. Mr.. Cranch has made the
most of that which struck him as the
dominant tone in the reveler's music.

The Kentucky Cardinal.
Until writer who loved the cardi.
nal gave it the name Of his state those
who knew the bird were content to
call it by it's scientific name, the cardi-
nal grosbeak. Science and poetry are
far apart. James Lane Allen did not
claim proprietary rights in this bird Of
glowing plumage, and his book mod
estly enough was called not 1.-The" but
"A Kentucky Cardinal"
The cardinal has small place in
poetry James Lane Allen has given
it an enduring place in prose- or the
cardinals habits of standing stanchly
by the home fields when the snow flies
and the other songsters desert, the
Kentucky writer has this to say:
"Lo! some morning the leaves are
on the ground, and the birds have van
ished. The species that remain or
that come to US then, wear the hues
of the season and melt into the tone of
natures background-blues, grays,
browns, with touches of white on tail
and breast and wing for coming flecks
of snow.
Save only him-proud solitary stran-
ger in our unfriendly land-the fiery
grosbeak. Nature in Kentucky has no
winter harmonies for him. He could
find these only among the tufts of the
October sumach, or in the gum tree
when it stands pillar of red twilight
fire in the dark November woods, or
in the far depths Of the crimson sum
set skies +. and he is left alone
on the edge of that northern world

folk have paid the hermit higher trib-
ute than any poet.
These words of Walt Whitman, for
Whitman knew and wrote at least once
of the hermit thrush, give sufficient de-
scription of the place the swamp angel
seeks for it's evening song:
Forth to hiding, receiving night that talks
not,
Down to the shores of the water, the
path by the swamp in the dimness,
To the solemn shadowy cedars and ghost
ly pines so still
The BIuebird.
When the English settlers in Amer
lea saw the loose focks of bluebirds
drifting over the March fields, the
spring sunshine making redder the
birds red breasts, they called them
English robins. The red of the breasts
was responsible for the name, the
sight of it being a reminder of the
other red-breasted bird in the home
fields over the sea.
In few remote places in New Eng
land the bluebird still bears the name
which the Pilgrims gave, but every
where else throughout the American
continent it is the bluebird and moth
ing else. It is one of the few o. the
American feathered species which
manage to keep one name in nearly
every community in which they dwell.
The bluebird is bird of the heart
and of the home. 1t loves the COM
partnership of man and it will build
it's nest and dwell through the sum-
mer wherever it is made welcome. The
bluebird is sweet creature, for II
there are any vices among its multi
tude of virtues man has yet to turn
them to the light.
Alfred Tennyson did not know the
bluebird, but it would seem that he
must have heard an echo of its April
note when he wrote:
And in my breast
Spring wakens, too; and my regret
Becomes an April violet.
And buds and blossoms like the rest.
The Bobolink.
The bobolink is a summer reveler;
the bee is drunk with bloom, and why
not he, this bacchanalian bobolink?
There is a sort Of delirium in the
summer time Joy of this meadow bird.

devise a method to turn few of the
swallows to tie city, for glimpse or
two of them, with the engenderer
yearning for the old home and things
bucolic, might solve the deserted farm
problem.
The swallow found its way into the
hearts and the homes of the people as
long ago as Aristotle's time. This
much we know, for the philosopher
speaks of 1t, and there is no reason to
doubt that the swallow held his place
In mans affection during the years of
the life of some philosopher who was
as much earlier than Aristotle as Arts
totle is earlier than the philosopher of
today, if there be any philosopher of
today who may be mentioned properly
in the same sentence with Alexander's
tutor.
Shakespeare intimates in line or
two that the swallow fears the cold. 1t
Is easy enough to forgive the master,
however, for casting suspicion on
the swallows courage because of the
beauty of the way in which he does
It:
Daffcdils
That come before the swallow dares and
take
The winds of March with beauty.
The Hermit Thrush.
II is possible that an adequate trib-
ute to the song of the hermit thrush
is beyond the range of human poetic
endeavor. The poets have not dared.
The song is hymnlike and 1t has GER
tain purity and sanctity of tone that
mark the singer as the fit soloist of
the temple In the wilderness
1t is the wild places far removed
from man and his works that the bird
loves. He seeks no audience for his
sinking. We must go to the northern
woods and there wait until the shad-
ows lengthen and the hush of the eve
ming has come down to hear the her
NIT thrush break the silence with his
vesper hymn.
The voice is pure music. No other
bird singer in America and probably
no bird singer in the world can ap-
proach the hermit thrush in the melo-
dious quality of its notes. The song
would be declared sad were it not so
uplifting. It is prayer and song in
one and It seems to hallow the wilder
ness.
The hermit thrush loves equally the
low-lying woods and the forested
mountain tops. It chooses one or the
other for its summer home. The coun-
try folk of the North who have heard
the song at dusk coming from whore
the woods meet the marsh call the
bird the swamp angel" The country

CPRING brings our bird friends
back from the South. Not all of
~ them however, deserted us when
the winds began to blow cold and
the clouds to shake out their first bur-
den of snow. A few Of our feathered
friends stay in the North country the
whole winter through. They are the
harder ones of their tribe. Stay-at-
home and traveller alike are becoming
more and more beloved our people
as time goes on.
There are certain ones among our
feathered neighbors which, because of
the sweetness of their song, the beauty
of their plumage, or the friendliness
of their natures, appeal to us more
than their brethren. OF some of these
better known and better-loved birds it
is the purpose to write.
The Swallow.

the birds are, there are the angels"

but it expresses what the good man
meant. The saint is credited with be-
ing a home lover, and there isn't much
doubt that he had the swallows in
mind when he spoke Of birds and an
gels in the same breath.
Most of us who have reached middle
life lived boyhood's days in the coun-
try. A surplus of sentiment isn't nee
essary to make one connect angels
with the old home where the trees
were, the river ran and the swallows
nested. The country-bred boy knows
the swallows better than he knows
other birds. Since barns were built
the swallows have colonized them and
have given something of cheer and
companionship to every hour of the
farmers day.

1t can be stated positively that DR.

that they do not desire it if it can

compromise now and that they might
