A PLEA FOR THE HONYAK

- \ PLEA FOR THE HONYAk
= s.
An oldtimer sat on his doorstep one
night,
Thinking Of things while smoking
his pipe.
He thought and while he thought he
worried a heap
Over the country and thus he did
THE honyaks are here and gone are
the years,
When the range was all open and
thick We're the steers:
The country is ruined, it's gone to
the dogs
Ever since the poor honyak went to
cut logs
To build him home and place
to sleep
On Uncle Sans land that he knows
he should keep
For Me- on which run my cattle and
sheep.
He should be classed as German
and told to go home,
To the state where he came from
! and never to roam.
AS our grandfathers did when the
buffalo were thick
! And the Indians were plenty and so
was the tick.
Now, who should go first. the honyak
or me.
1t Is hard to decide, for all men
are free
That obey Gods laws and live on
this land,
Made up of clay. gumho and sand =
-(HONYAk.>

MODERN READERS OF FICTION
ciate the Viewpoint Put For
ward by Authors.

Women who are giving greater i'm
portance 10 woman's sphere are dis
cerning readers of fiction. says the
New York Evening Post. This is the
conclusion drawn by James Hay. Jr.,
after careful observation and II would
probably meet with some skepticism
on the part OF people who think that
rction serves mainly 10 amuse. He
writes ia Il recent publication that he
long ago discovered that certain men
and women appreciate new view
points, had the knack OF defending
with facts and plays OF fancy their
own opinions. had their ravor1te sports
flowers and colors. and pleased you
with their eagerness TO hear Of any
new thing touching their recreation or
work-and that such men and women
had In large measure developed their
own striking personalities through In
timate intercourse with the unusual
characters whom great writers had
found TO be worth writing about"
These people. by reading fiction, had
put their hands on the motives OF men.
while others depended for their knOwl-
edge Of life and OF men and women on
their own experience-and remained
'alirn to the worlds great dreamers.

Birds and Their kests.

The robin Is one OF the best nest
builders. Robins prefer trees not too
heavily foliaged. like an apple tree. Al
times the robin will build her nest In
a gateway or beneath the caves OF d
house where there Is solid founds-
ton. But as II general proposition 1t
Is In = tree Of fairly good size. II Is
built Of straw and grass and string
and mud and 10 solid and heavy. A
robins hest may be exposed to the
weather for rve or six years and not
60 to pieces. but II Is never used but
once. A few birds use a second hand
nest. but when they do 50 they clean
II out and patch IL up with new ma
terial. The ortole uses one nest year
after year. but always Improves It by
putting In new material and seeing to
II that It Is tied with stout strings to
the limb from which II Is suspended
