Is The Wild Pigeon Eitinct?
Chief Game Protector Jdeh
Kalbfus says on good authority that
the passenger or wild pigeon is ex
tinct in the United States. Thai
hile many hae written tbey have
seeu them yet inve-liga 1 n has
proven that thu birds were turtle
doves, the baud tall pigeon or some
other bird. The pigeons suddenly
disappeared along in the late seven
ties, when, previous to that time,
thousands were seen every spring
and fall and a mystery, bas always
unrounded tba matter. Ue says:
Many reasons for tbe disappear
anoe of the pigeon have been made;
the one that seems to be tbe most
plausible to me is that during' the
time wben these birds were every
where, them was a horde of preda
tory birds and animals living um
them, folloalng them up and dowi
n their passage through the country
For some reason duiing the, y, r
1879 vast numbers of these bird
were destroyed either by dhe or
by being blown to sea, In (he Pacific,
sailors reporting that Ihey sailed lor
many hours through fi laling dead
pigeons. To is, it aeeius to n e, de
pleted tht a ipply to kucb.au ex toot
that those remainii g were not ab'e.
to withstand the attacks of Iheir
many enemies and gradually full
prey to those enemies until they be
came extinct."
Whether tha above is sufficient lo
explain the fact il is at hast plausi
ble and perhaps aa satisfactory ar

AFTER THE FETE.
Now tbe glamonr ot the festive
board
Is o'er and guests are gone ;
The withered flowers strew tbe floor
The lights, exoeptlng one,
Are all extinguished. Opposite
A pier glass a belle sat down
In meditative mood and thought
Of the conquests she hod won.
First, was the simpering lord Clair
With hi? monocle, and strut;
Hair parted from the oenter, straight
From forehead back and but
"I'll dismiss him, he's not worth
A thought said she. Next Brown
He's considered a good catch,
By all the girls in town.
Young Brown has position, but
Small modicum of brain,
Susceptible of flattery
And entirely too much vain;
I'll cross him off. Who nextf Ah
yes
Fred Peters, he's a bore
He tells of all his pedigree
Their history o'er and o'er.
So he may go. George Winters
He's good looking I know,
rhough I thiuk he's somewhat
cranky
Rather selfish, too, I trow.
Steve Materson is not my style
foo pompous, dignified.
He walks just like a peacock
With too much shallow pride.
His friend, I thiuk his name is Scott,
For him, I don't care at all;
He's namby, pamby, mama's pet
A big baby though he's tall.
I believe he has fallen heir
To his grandfather's estate,
But pshaw! That does not signify.
Let others for him, bail.
Joe Mullen, lie is rather plain
And cannot dance a bit.
He's clever tbongb, but backward,
Droll, and somewhat of a wit.
I do not know; bnt think
Joe is not a lady's man
The girls don't seem to take to him
Though he does tbe best he oan.
O dear me! How I'm yawning
Why It's almost two o'olock
Yes Joe's a real nloe fellow
Oh-o-o-o solid as a rock
I wish Oh-o-o he were handsome
I'm so sleepy Joe's all right

Gettysburg Monument
Hundreds of soldiers who partici
pated in thin three days battle at
Gettysburg no doubt will attend tbe
dedication of the Pennsylvania mon
ument Sept 37th and enjoy meeting
old comrades on that historio field.
Free transportation will be given.
Tbe ranks of the veterans are fast
thinning and in a very few years all
will have answered the last roll oall.
Lincoln in his immortal address at
tbe dedication of tbe Cemetery said ;
"The brave men, living and dead,
who atruggled here, have consecrat
ed the ground, far above our poor
power to add cr detract. Tbe world
will little note, nor long remember
what we say here, but It oan never
target what they did bere."
