The yellow. warbler or fwild canary), is a common bird. though not very well known.
 . Last year l spent my vacation at the sea shore and saw three of these birds. As I am interested in birds; I decided to look up q little about the yellow warbler.
 In length this bird is d little more than five inches. It is mostly yellow with the breast streaked in reddish brown.
 This bird. prefers the open thicket. mostly the willows, to the thick wood lands, and often builds it's pretty nest by the, roadside or in the garden shrubbery.
 Though not an expert musician the yellow warbler sings early and often, which makes up for what iE lacks in quality of voice.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 ''' AWAkES.

Since April is the noon Of spring, May must be the afternoon; and it is regarded in many nations as merry month. . --
 The Queen Of May has been a eefe- brated character more than two hun dred years, and the Maypole dance is one of the pretty performances which have come down to us from the, Long Ago. I do not imagine anyone can tell exactly how long ago.
 Perhaps the reason May is opened whh merrymaking is because it marks aig blooming plants. Flora was made thk Goddess of Flowers by the Romans, ana this imaginary ruler of the sweet and Beautiful in Nature is recognized as, a pretty picture from the minds of the ancionts.
 One of our greatest poets calls May "a. ..pious fraud" but do not think she Is q fraud at all, since May has been what she is for all recorded time,
 May always has her cold spell, and at .feast one excessively cold storm. known as ''the lamb storm There is q very pretty legend of how May got her cold days, and here it is:
 "The year had all the days in charge, And promised them that they
 Should each one see the world in turn But ten days ran away!
 Ten days that should have gone abroad Some time in oarlN May
 So, when May came, and all was fair These days were sent to bed.
 And ten good winter days were sent To sec the world instead"
 lii old times. do you know, the maids used to think that faces washed II Mar dew could have no freckles, and this early morning bath was populai with all.
 It has been said: "A swarm of bees in May is worth load of hay!" 4. cold May brings no riches" and ''Un. lucky are the wives that wed in May!' And strange enough, folks have really believed it; but I think we shall not!
