How Blackbird Got Its
Color Is Ancient Myth

The blackbird. that shy handsome
fellow with his glossy black coat and
golden beak, was once upon time, so
the French fable tells us, pure white.
One day in the woods he came upon
maybe, busily engaged in hiding his
stolen treasure of jewels.
where can | get such store"
asked the white bird. The maybe, be-
ing nervous of betrayal. told him TO
go to the palace of the King of Riches
in the bowels of the earth. but warned
him to touch nothing until he had re-
ceived permission from the prince. He
set out on his quest and flew through
cavern after cavern, until he came to
one formed entirely of gold, and gold
dust lay thick on the floor. The adj
venturer could restrain himself no
longer, but plunged his greedy bill into
the gold dust, whereupon horrible
demon sprang out of the ground, spew-
ing forth SCOT and smoke. Although
the bird escaped with his life, he had
now a jet-black plumage and gold
stained bill. And since then, every
time the blackbird hears a sudden
noise in the wood, he rushes out of the
bushes with cries of alarm, for WIG
knows what terrible demon may pur-
sue him again?

EVEN though he could not believe his

something for which to be thankful.
He rendered thanks for not having to
believe such an diversified set of Jugs
as those which waved in front of him,
and returned resoIutely to his task.
Don't" he coaxed the gentleman,
you mean Christmas? You know
that's the day when Santa Claus comes
along. Maybe he could unload you a
few such knick-knacks as a third base
man who could hit or an outfielder who
could field. From what I've seen of
this outfit of yours, you certainly could
use something like that, and the
quicker you get it the better"
The gentleman did not twitch an ear
at such bIasphemy. He had been bal
ancing his weight on his left foot, so
as to provide some solace for bruised
right instep. Now, while he repeated
the words which had caused all the
trouble, he shifted back to the right dog
