SACAGAWEA, 1.-THE BIND WOMAN" SCOUT

In the Portland (Ore.) city park stands the statue of an Indian woman. little baby is strapped on her back and her hand is outstretched to the west, toward the Pacific ocean. The statue is that of Sacagawea, "The Bird Woman" the sixteen-year-old girl scout and guide who led Lewis and Clark over the Shining Mountains" to the Everywhere Saltwater" toward which her hand points.
 When Lewis and Clark visited the Hidatsa Indians in North Dakota on their great exploring trip west, they found Shoshone girl living with that tribe. At the age of five she had been captured from her people by Hidatsa war party. When she was fourteen years old, Toussaint Charbanneau, a French Canadian trapper, won her from her captor in a game of hide the-bone' and married her the next year.
 The Bird Woman wished to return to her people and Lewis and Clark engaged Charbonneau and his wife as interpreters to the Indians they would meet. During the winter of 1905 Saca- gawea gave birth to a son, whom she called Baptiste, and this tiny papoose went with his dauntless mother through all the hardships which the explorers afterward endured He was strapped on Sacagawea's back one day when the clumsy Charbanneau upset one of the boats containing the precious instruments and records of the party. The Bird Woman at once sprang overheard into the msddy stream and rescued them.
 More than once Sacagawea proved her value to the explorers. Far up the river when the forest and snow baf- fled her companions and they were lost, the homing instinct of the h. dian girl led her on and she guided them safely to her people. The chief who welcomed them proved to be .Saca- gawea's brother, who was overjoyed to see his lost sister again. He sold the white men much-needed horses and would have stolen them back, had not the Bird Woman betrayed the plot to Captain Lewis.
 Sacagawea remained with Lewis and Clark until they reached the Pa cific. On their return journey she stopped with her people, the Sho- shones, and there she spent the .c- mainder of her days. She died on the Wind River reservation in Wyoming April g, 1894, almost hundred years of age.

What Birds Do For You.

The wild birds work from day light till dark in their warfare against garden enemies and yet small boys rob their nests and thoughtless adults hunt and worry these. tireless friends of humanity without giving a moments thought to the consequences if birds should decide to abandon neighborhood bv reason of persecution.
 The tremendous annual damage inflicted on gardens and farm crops by insection pests has been shown by official reports to have reached in one recent year the startling to- tai of over one billion dollars.
 The most effective remedy against insect depredations is the protec- tion and encouragement of bird life. Every owner of field or garden where crops are grown should gladly sign the Sanctuary Pledge when call ed on by the workers of the Green Meadow Club. The Bird Sanctuary Campaign of this national organiza- tion founded by The Peoples Home Journal, has been endorsed and com- mehded by Herbert Hoover, former United States Food Commissioner, and the governors of almost every state in the Union, as well as by many other international authori- ties. such as George H. Roberts, British Food Controller, and Dr. William T. Hornaday, the famous American naturalist.
