The hermit thrush comes in the
middle of April and is gone by the
middle Of May. And he Is the most
magical singer in the forest-in some
ways the most magical in the world.
A census of poems on the thrush
shows that most poets write to the
hermit thrush, and not to the wood
thrush. I can think of two reasons
for this-first, the word hermit" ap-
peals to poets; second most poets prob
ably do not know which bird they are
hearing. These are cynical reasons; a
more idealistic one would be that poets
hear how much nobler Is the hermit
thrushs song.
There is nothing really hermit-like
in the hermit thrushs habits; he does
not by any means dispense with the
comforts of home. He merely chooses
the recesses of forest; mountains and
swamps are among his favorite haunts.
But, even So he sometimes comes to the
very borders of a lawn, near house,
and only the trained ear, perhaps, dis
tinguishes his evening song from the
common thrush's Though common" Is
an unkind word, since even the wood
thrush Is a bird of ecstatic and incred-
IDLY imaginative song).
do not think of any easy way of
setting forth the differences between
the two songs. Both birds "twirl three
notes and make a star" But where the
wood thrushes sing slowly and at leisure
as compared with most birds the her
NIT thrush makes the wood thrush seem
a rapid singer. think 1t was Van Dyke
who said that the hermit thrush says
20 clear in the sphere of the air." AS
far as words go, that will do, and SO
will John Burroughs rendition, %
Spheral, o."
The hermit thrush is like great
singer who is conscious of an audience
breathless with attention. The singer
can take all the time necessary; she can
pause for effects, she can afford to wait
while the echo of her last notes, drawn
out into silence. ring in memory still
on the air.
Every singer knows that setting is i'm
portant, and with what unerring in
stinct the thrush chooses the setting for
his song. He loves the hour when the
heat Is over and the last golden light
fingers in the west. He loves the mo-
ment when the frogs begin to trill, when
swallows sweep the skies for the twi-
light loving instincts, when folks are
tired, and sit down, and want to listen;
when other birds begin to drop drowsily
into silence. Then, taking up his po-
sition In some unseen spot, he sends his
song (really a voice Of great range and
power drifting through the quiet airs
of Spring twilight.

the attention of the first congressional
district of South Carolina on him. And
the base ball fans are responsible for
his being In Washington.
Old-timers in the Sally (South At
lantic) League remember the days
when Tommy Mcmillan was catcher for
Charleston. And there are many who
still remember when he was that teams
premier hitter and base runner.
It was a rare piece of luck that caused
Mcmillan to settle down in the first
congressional district of his State-the
district that was to make him Repre-
sentative in Congress years later.
He was a student at the University
of South Carolina. During the vaca-
ton period he was playing base ball
for Charlotte in the South Atlantic
League. In 1918 the Charlotte club or
dered him to report before the end Of
the college year. Mcmillan refused.
It was that same year that Charles
ton was sorely In need Of man who
could add punch to the team and who,
at the same time, could be bought with
the least possible money. The manager
of the Charleston club enlisted the aid
such man.
The sports writer remembered the
lad at the university who was hold
out. Negotiations were begun with the
Charlotte club, with the result that
Mcmillan was sold to Charleston for $50.
Mcmillan played with Charleston
untii he had won a tremendous per-
sonsl popularity with base ball fans.
Then pressure of private affairs forced
him to quit. He says now that he never
hoped to be professional, but played
the game because he couldn't resist the
lure of the diamond.
Of the base ball field Tommy Nc
MILAN was not forgotten. Base ball
fans of the first district got behind him
for the State Legislature and elected
him. The last year In that body he
served as speaker.

it briskly with a sponge dipped
frequently In soap-suds. Rub of
the suds with a soft cloth, rinse
with clear water and dry thor
oughly. Do this first on one side,

Rinse out the cloth four times in
