Eats a Thousand Insects a Day. "A din swallow will ent a tliousiiiul flies, mosquitoes, wheat midgets or bee tles that Injure fruit trees in a day irritl therefore Is to be encouraged," says the American Forestry association of Washington. , . "This bird Is also known ns the cave swallow, because It plasters Its nest on the outside of a barn or other build ing up under the eaves. Colonies of several thousand will build their nests together on the side of n cliff. These nests shaped like a flattened, gourd or water bottle are made of bits of clay rolled Into pellets and lined with straw or feathers. This bird winters In the troides." Joycucness. How should It be otherwise? I can bear n melancholy, man, but never a I melancholy child. I'fo whatever quag- mire the former sinks, he may raise 1 his eyes either to the realm of reason : or to that of hope; but the little child sinks and perishes In n single black poison-drop of the present time Only Imagine n child conducted to the scaf fold Cupid in a (Jernian coffin or fancy a butterfly crawling like n cater pillar with his four wings pulled off. and you wtji feel what I moiin.

Athena sportsmen would do well to wise up from the fol lowing complaint filed with the governor by a Mrs. Myrtle Ryan, of Tillamook. Myrtle has no love for a licenseil sportsman, as. her letter to the governor attests. A Salem special records Myrtles com plaint : "Would-be sports," who per sist in trespassing upon the Ryan farm on Wilson creek, in Tillamook county, "messing up" the place and committing depredations generally, are threatened with direct action by Myrtle Ryan in a "dire no tice" received by Governor Ol cott Thursday. Mrs. Ryan de clares that fisherman and hunt ers, to whom she refers as "the scum of the earth," persist in using their barn, haymown and even the front door yard at their own pleasure, ignoring her orders to "move on." She appeals to the state to correct this condition, which she blames upon the practice of selling hunting and fishing li censes which, she says seems to be regarded by these sports men as licenses to do about as they please, regardless of the rignts of othus. Mrs. Ryan also declares that illicit fishing of salmon is in dulged in about the dead liin. on Wilson creek and that the state and deputy game war dens are aware of this infrac tion of the law. Nets are stretched clear across the river, she states and the fish sold to the cannery. The condition, she insists, has been going on for the past three years without any attempt being made to put a stop to it .
