SIRANGER THAN FICIION,
How a Daughter Repaid a Noble Act
After Many Years,
The concluding chapter in a slory
that glories in all the romance of a
creation of a Daudet was enacted in
the city of Philadelphia recently,
About eight years ago Tony Horning,
a well-known man about town, return-
ed from a summer trip with a circus
with which he then traveled. The
season had been an unusually fruitful
one for him, and he had gathered to-
gether a very liberal sum of money.
Entering the residence of his mother,
he walked into the kitchen where he
found her sitting and talking to a sad-
eyed woman with a little girl, whose
face showed plainer than words could
tell the lack of food that the poor little
creature had experienced. Plainly they
were in great distress,
Tony gruflly asked what they were
doing there, and the kind-hearted
mother explained that they were in the
city without friends or money.
Notwithstanding the appealing looks
of the care-worn woman and her half-
starved child Tony still doubted the
truth of their story.
The unfortunate female said that she
was trying to get to Denver, but saw
little hopes of realizing her object.
Tony finally inquired how much a
ticket to that point would be, and was
informed that one—an emigrint rate
could be purchased for $24. He had
gradually begun to be won ly the piti-

Insect-Eating Birds,
Fifty years ago every farm in the
Eastern, Middle and Southern States
bad from five to twenty acres of wood-
land, These lands not only served
many other good purposes, but were
natural resting places for birds, and
served them as safe shelter during the
heat of the day. These primitive for-
ests were the home of mapy species of
birds, The writer well remembers the
delights experienced in going to the
woods in the spring of the year and
listening to the sons of the native war-
blers as they returned from their winter
quarters at the South, The shrill
whistle of the quall was as familiar to
the ears of the farmer as household
words, The scream of the blue jay
rang through the forest clear and loud,
The many species of woodpecker were
watched with intense interest as they
glided up and down the trunks of the
trees, ever and anon rapping with irre-
sistible force with their powerful beaks
and frequently drawing forth some
huge grub that had been sapping the
life of some monarch of the forest,
While watching these ever industrious
aud useful birds, a scarlet tanager, like
a flash of fire, or some other bright
band, would flit by, happy and beauti-
ul,
How is it now? The woodman's axe
and the pot-hunter’s gun can tell the
gad story. The birds have goue—no
home, no resting place, no safety any-
where. Looking at this sad picture,
one feels ready to exclaim with the poet
Burns,
Inhuman man! curse on thy barbarous art,
And blasted be thy murder-aiming eye;
May never pity sooth thee with a sigh,
Nor ever pleasure giad they cruel heart.
The birds that were so common fifty
years ago were mostly insect-eating
birds, and destroyed millions of noxi-
ous insects and were of inestimable
value to the farmer and tiller of the
soil, Even the grain-eating birds con-
