Grant us courage to defend the truth. At this critical time in the history of our country. lead them, thy servants. in plain path and inspire them with lofty principles"

LATEST OF ALL THE BIRDS
Feathered "Weary WIIIIer Sleeps All
Day and Absolutely Refuses to
Go After Food.

LATEST of birds is the frogmouth.
He sleeps all day, and instead of flying
about In search Of food he sits still on
q limb and literally waits for the in
sects to come and feed him. He's
such a sound sleeper that you can
knock him or his perch with a club
and he'll not wake up. He inhabits
the islands of the Indian ocean and
Australia.
He's about the size of the whippoor-
will and gets his name from his wide
mouth, which also serves as his insect
trap. Too lazy to fly for his food, like
other birds, he crawls along the limb
Of a tree, opening his wide mouth and
swapping 1t shut, catching what flies
and gnats come within his range.
At night he's found perched with
his mate on the roofs of houses, on
fences or stumps. Only after the sun
goes down does he show any inclina-
ton to move about. All day he sits,
feet glued to the limb of a gum tree,
Indifferent to rain, tropical sun or the
call Of the woods.
One species of frogmouth has tufts
Of hair rising from the top Of his head
like ears.
