So listen closely to the story of Madam Mocking Bird, Concert Singer Once upon a time there was great confusion in the beautiful woods of Carolina. In the lofty branches of the long-leaved pines and In the oaks and hiskorys was a great chattering. There talking to and fro were the Red Bird, the Jay, the Vlreos, the Cat Bird, the Wood Robin, and many others. "Who is going to hear Madam Mocking Bird to-night?" askea one of the birds. "Well," answered a saucy little Blue Jay, "daddy brought home three tickets for us to go, and I surely am going to be on hand in the very front seat, for she is perfectly wonderful. I have never heard any bird better In song vaudeville than she is." "H'm!" sneered the Red Bird, "I wouldn't give a fig to hear her. Why you can hear her stunts any day by just keeping your ears open as you fly through the woods—she only Imitates every thing she hears." "Only Imitates everything she hears?" interrupted Mrs. Cat Bird. "ONLY?—I should say she is wonderful to do that. I should like to hear you sing in a different way each minute— all you can do Is give a- mellow whistle, my dear Red Bird, just as I only can meow like a cat—and just as neighbor Woodpecker only can give his shrill call. But Madam Mocking Bird! Oh, she is quite wonderful indeed; and I think It a treat to hear her. Of course, only those who are jealous of her power will stay at home." And so it happened that the beautiful Forest Theater was crowded on the night that Madam Mocking Bird gave her con cert. Never was there a more gorgeous audience. The gowns were all shades, from the dullest blacks, Just brightened with a touch of white or rod—to the most wonderful rainbow hues. Bright eyes sparkled as the little audience waited breathlessly for the great Bird Prima Donna. At last through the forest came floating the cry of the Whip-poor-will. Faintly from the back of the wondevful tree stage, the louder and louder "Is Whip-poor-will on this progrHni too," asked one little Woodpecker of his mother. "I thought the concert was to be «iven by Madam Mocking Bird only." Members of Famous Old War; Time Musical Organization Hold Fifty-third Reunion By Special Correspondence Marietta, Pa..
