DENIES CROW IS ALL BAD
Bird That May Be Said to Have Few
Friends Finds a Defender in
Eastern Writer.

Volumes have been written about
the crow, remarks a writer in the
Christian Science Monitor. He Is
famous-yes, and Infamous, to not a
few of his biographers. Thus he re-
sembles Napoleon. Further, he resem-
bles Napoleon in his complete self
reliance, his cosmopolitanism, and his
many-sidedness. The crow is our COM
posite, or ideal bird. He is typical
Of the class ayes. Frequenting our
average or general environment and
climate, he has adapted himself to
the requirements Of that average sur
rounding in an all-around manner. He
Is about a mean proportional in size
between the humming bird and ostrich.
He can fly enough, walk enough, wade
enough. His beak is long enough,
strong enough, round enough, curved
enough, so that little which Is food de-
fies his efforts at utilization. He does
not object to hot summers, wet springs,
dry autumns, and icy winters. And, In
line with this almost Grecian equilib-
rum of faculties, experts studying his
economic status have at length con-
cluded that his virtues about balance
his shortcomings in this field also.
