A Trick Aviator Who
Likes Raw Mosquito
Steak Best of All
RARN SWALLOW.

There are three swallows common
ly found here-the big purple Martin
around the buildings on Main street,
the bank swallow nesting In the river
banks, and the barn swallow. Tho
latter nests in the barns on almost
every farm in the county, 1 suppose,
but is not often seen about town.
The swallow-likc birds we see so
often in tho evening. flying high, are
chimney swifts that are very COM
mon. The swift is often called the
chimney swallow. but he is not even
distantly related to the swallows.
The swallows that fly over the
cemetery lake are probably always
river bank near by.
The barn swallow may be dis
tinguished by It's deeply forlsed tail
and its bright chestnut throat. 1t has
white spot on each OF its tail
feathers except the inner pair. 1t
is often seen sitting on telephone
wires. The wire is particularly
grateful perch, for swallows have
such small. weak feet that they
shh iioS blhSp IL iiiSe perch.
1t Is interesting to watch the barn
swallows building their adobe huts.
They fly about mud puddles, and,
holding their wings. daintily like
butter flies, they roll the mud into
balls which they carry to their nests.
The nest holds five to seven spotted
eggs. and the parents rid the earth Of
innumerable noxious insects In feed
ing their progeny. When you see n
swallow circling and diving and dip
ping gracefully thru the air. he is
not just joyriding thru the atmos-
phere. he Is gathering meal OF
mosquitoes and gnats IN his big
mouth to reduce the h. c. Of /. for a
big family.
The Shallow comes to us the lat
ter part of April when the insects
begin to fly. and does not leave us
till the cold weather of late Septem-
Der kills off his game. We can
easily believe the long flight from
lands Of snow to lands OF sun holds
no terrors for this small bodied, long
winged bird who seems so perfectly
at home in the air
The swallows excessive fondness
for the taste. of raw mosquito ought

their exercise in a porch chair.

He Was a Prince.

p. 7. Barnum's liberality toward
the celebrities whom he introduced
to the American people Is we'll known
a recent book gives an instance OF
this attitude In his dealings with
Jenny Lind, the Swedish singer. She
had never sung to the immense au-
diences that Barnum confronted her
with. and felt that he was perhaps
getting the better OF the bargain
when audiences Of 5000 came to hear
her while she expected to sing to
5000 or 1000. On intimating her dis
satisfaction to Mr.. Barnum no pro
duced his contract with her.
Here ia our contract" he said and
deliberately tore It into pieces. Nov
my dear madame" he said. write out
your own terms and 7 will sign them
The spirit Of daring and generosity
thus evinced has helped to make Bar
NUNS memory live as the prince OF
