'Dr. Crane says. Don't believe
all you hear and not much you see. =
Now | can't believe a writer in a
newspaper who says the house wren
must go. / do not know how much
is true of the Biological Survey Re-
port, but l do know that have been
raising the house wrens on my YER
andas for over thirty years and have
never caught them troubling other
birds nests.
1--WE raise many kinds of song
birds, among them, tomtits, cardi-
nails, bellbirds, thrashers, hooking
birds, bluebirds, orioles, and many
others. They all live in harmony
except the blue jay and English
sparrow They both will not only
eat the eggs of other birds but eat
the young too. The blue jay seems
to take great joy in picking to

have caught both the jay and the
sparrow in the act of eating the
young birds and new eggs of our
finest song-birds.
1.-THE best protector all of our
birds have had so far is the house
wren. In winter | have seen as
many as seven different kinds of
birds, hungry, but unable to get to
the food placed for them till the
wren came down and drove the jays
away, then they would all eat to-
gether. Sometimes we have as
many as twelve kinds of song-birds
feeding just outside our living
room windows during morning or
afternoon, and they look to the wren
to drive away their enemies, wheth-
er cats, bad boys or blue jays.
Last Sunday had been watching
some bellbirds, catbirds and wrens

feeding their babies in crab-apple
tree near the veranda, and Jay
slipped up and caught one little fel-
low that had been learning to fly.
A dozen or more birds of all kinds
fought the jay from tree to tree.
After the little fellow stopped cry
ing they gave UP, all but the house
wrens, which followed the thief
across the lawn until it was almost
dark
Il have big crooked-necked gourds
hanging around for the wrens in
which they have raised four broods
this season, and | hope they will
raise more. They stay with us all
the year.

persecution, and neither just nor
righteous. Here's to the little house

GOODBYE TO THE SOLDIERS. >

THE Georgia brigade leaves Ma
con this week for the Mexican bor-
der, to remain for an indefinite per-
iod of time. The people of Macon
and of Georgia regret very much to
see the boys leave their home state,
blu trealize that the government
needs their services and are proud
of thief act that no body Of the nat
ional guard will arrive on the bor-
derl inc with such an organization
as tn eFirst Georgia brigade.
Army officers who have been
sent here from Washington to in
spect the troops unhesitatingly pro-
nounced them the best they had in
spected, and these same officers
had visited otner mobilization
camps in other states.
When the soldiers came to Ma
conduring the latter part TO June
they were raw and inexperienced.
Four months of hard work have
wrought wonderful change in the
men. They are now nj the very
pink of condition. They have been
put through all the PAGES except the
actual fighting, and Georgia people
are confident that if they We're Civ
en- an opportunity to get into a real
fight that the youngsters whoc ar
ry the state colors would give an
unusually good account of themsel-
yes.
THE five thousand men in the
camp have been remarkably well be-
haved. There has oeen no disorder.
There has been no epidemic of liz
ness. Only one or two death have
resulted and these were from acct
dent We all hope that the men
will fare as well on the border as
they have in Macon.

~ 4ee0 people visited Ite place since
the CLASSIFICATION boats were placed
in commission slightly over a year

The story that an effort was being
made to secure a license for the Ccrti

gentleman who was DESTROYS of seCur-

Pleased if the Coral Gardens could re

RAPID TRANSIT DISCUSSION.

What does the new Rapid Transit charter
plan mean to the people of Honolulu!
This question will be discussed tomorrow
night in the public meeting called for 7:30
O'Clock, senate chamber, Capitol building. The
subject is of vital interest to Honolulu and
there should be a big attendance. So rapidly
have the utilities commission and the com
pany's representatives progressed that after
but week of conferences an entire new fran
chise has been worked out. What it means,
what privileges it gives the company and what
control it reserves to the public and the pub
lie IS servants are now to be considered item
by item For the sake of argument, we should
like to hear Supervisor Hatch bring up at this
meeting some of the questions he asked few
nights ago when the supervisors talked over
the matter briefly. There is no disposition to
Question the intentions of the Rapid Transit
Company to give Honolulu a continuance of
and an Improvement upon its present good ser
vice; but the charter as finally sent forward to
Congress should be thoroughly understood and
approved by the public and SO clear in its pro
visions that there need be no necessity of lit
cation hereafter to determine whether or not
the street railway is abiding by the terms under
which it is given very valuable franchise right
