PRINCESS BREEDS "SPARROW- CANARY" SONGSTERS

sparrows will grow up together,
and selecting those young birds Of
both breeds which are most alike

flock Of birds, sparrows and ca
naries of similar form and weight. |
will then select the best males and
females of the two breeds and rear
this selected flock in a roomy cage.

The first cage will, Of course, be
placed on the warm outside Of pro.

can live and one where 1t Is also pos
sible to have the wild sparrows
come. II by this selection and breed

dislike which many now feel for the
sparrows.
Miss Pitchlyn is the daughter of
the famous Choctaw chieftain, Peter
p. Pitchlyn, who lived in the early
part of the last century. Pitchlyn
was a great friend of Henry Clay.
and Of President Andrew Jackson.
Always a friend of the whites, he
was an important man in all the his
tory of the Choctaws, and for twenty.
five years represented his nation In
Congress. Miss Pitchlyn was born In
Oklahoma in the shadow OF the

English. means "the coming woman"

ADMIREs COURAGE.
The bravery and intelligence OF
the sparrows excited such interest
that Miss Pitchlyn is determined
in the near future to renew her ex.
pertinent and in addition to continu.
ing her studies in poultry, take up
the breeding Of a new strain in
which she will endeavor to unite the
sparrow and the canary. Having
made a deep study of the laws Of
heredity, as carried out in the
animal kingdom, she will try to pro.
duce what is best In each breed.
Thus the voice Of the canary and
the hardness OF the wild bird are
points on which she will concentrate
her efforts. The method she will
use will best be told in her own
words.
MY sympathy has been excited
by the fate of the sparrow and II
seemed to me that such a brave,
sturdy little fellow should be helped
and not dIsliked," she said, hence II
occurred to me that the sparrow

would be a credit to a modern no.
tel. Here under the direction of q
capable cook. a number of TRUSTEES
are kept busy preparing the meals
for the hungry hordes that descend
upon the dining-rooms three times
each day.
JAIL Is CROWDED.
The prisoners are allowed to
smoke when they desire. Cards are
not allowed. but checkers and other
games are provided for their pleas
ure. Religious services are held
each Sunday morning in the ro-
tunda to the center OF the prison
and they prove a welcome inter
lude in the routine OF prison life.
There are five tiers of cells, one
above the other on the north and
south sides Of the institution. On
the north side are housed those
prisoners who are either await.
ing trial for, or have been convict
ed of petty crimes. The south side
is given over to the Death House."
"Murderers' Row." and the cells
occupied by criminals of the bigger
type.
At the present time the Jail is
pretty well crowded. This is par.
ticularly true of the tiers Of cells
on the south side. where the big
crooks are.
To the casual observer. the in
mates of the Jail are a cheerful lot.
The appearance Of visitors Is usu.
ally the signal for most of them
to crowd forward against the graf
ing in front of the cells. From this
point of vantage they watch every
thing going on. romping and joking
with each other. Underneath all the
seeming merriment. however, there
is strain of sadness. 1t Is an
unforgivable weakness for any in
mate of the Jail to give way to his
feelings before the other prisoners.
so they put on a brave front in
spite of the heartaches.
Benches are scattered around the
rotunda and when the TRUSTEES are
not working. they lounge about on
these, chatting with the other pris-
oners. reading or playing games.
There are seventeen guards and
three captains at the District Jail.
They put a lot of human kindness
in their dealings with the unfortu-
nate men under their charge. Ours
ing and yelling at the prisoners
have no place in their methods.
