A Belfast bird fancier was recently
given a most acceptab BILE birthday gift,
but it was merely about foot of a hol-
low maple tree limb made into birds
nest. 1t had been placed in position on
the rear lawn only short time when two
pairs of tree swallows arrived. The fe-
male of one couple perched on the nail
piazza in front of the hole in the nest and
deliberately inspected the apartment. 1t
was apparently satisfactory as she took
possession. One of the male birds perch
ed on the piazza and the other on the top
of the nest They were evidently rivals
as the instant number one looked into the
nest number two landed on his back a I'd
females were quiet, but the males kept up
the fight for all day, and after few bouts
the next morning the unsuccessful couple
went to a nearby tree and began their
home.
TROOP THREE, BELFAST Boy SCOUTS.
This Troop gave an entertainment and
exhibit of the Scout work, under the d.
rection Of Scoutmaster George H. Robert
son, at the Baptist church last Wednesday
evening. The Troop was formed early in
the winter and now has II members. The
exhibit included reciting the Scout oath
and the rules of the Scouts with their
own definitions of these rules. Scout
David F. Hoxie gave an essay on the
American Flag and Scout Lynwood Thay-
er on the State of Maine. The Scouts
exhibited knot tying, pyramid building,

were also in order, the boys choosing
such subjects as watermelons, tomatoes,
apples, and a small cat. The program
ended with contest between Scout
Hoxie and Thayer to see which could eat
large piece of BURBERRY pie in the
shortest time with their hands tied. The
prize, third piece of the pie, was award
ed to Scout Hoxie The pictures of a
Camping Trip in the Yellowstone Park
which were advertised did not arrive in
time, so that part of the program had to
be given up. This Troop of Scouts have
some very interesting plans made for the
future They have two adjoining tracts
of woodland a few miles from the city, IN
all about 100 acres bordering the shore,
which have been offered for their use and
on which they are to build log cabin.
They will also have splendid chance for
trailing and tracking. Scoutmaster Rob-
ertson has had much experience in this
line of the work and it is expected that
the boys will find it very interesting. The
land has also three large bluffs, which are
ideal for signal work. The boys have also
be offered some tracts of land in North
port and Swanville for camping purposes
at any time they wish and are to be in
structed in camping in the open by their
scoutmaster, so they can make themselves
comfortable at any time, even in rainy
weather. They expect a weeks camping
