BIRD NOW ALMOST EXTINC1
WiId Pigeon. Once Counted In Mil*
rons. So Rare as to Be Account*
ed a Curiosity.
The great reduction of bird life In
America is illustrated by a story
from Montreal of the capture of a
bird now rare which formerly was
se<m by the million. This unusual
ornithological specimen was sent,
carefully packed in a pasteboard box.
Yv parcel post from Odell Town,
Quebec, to the Montreal Witness.
The bird was taken to J. B. Innes,
secretary of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, and
also secretary of the Quebec Fish and
Game club. He definitely identified
the bird as a wild pigeon or dove, a
species now almost extinct. Officers
connected with the society entered
the office while Mr. Innes was inspecting
the bird, and they each at once
recognized it as a wild dove.
The sender of the little feathered
creature was John Hough, of Odell
Town, Quebec. He explained his reason
for mailing it was to have it
identified, as he had heard queries
had been made regardiag wild
pigeons.
The wild, or passenger, pigeon, so
named from its habit of passing from
one part of the country to another,
was onoe a resident of southern Canada
and the northern United States.

were more than a billion of these
birds in a continuous stream which
he saw on one occasion. Incessant
slaughter and the clearing away of
the forests destroyed the pigeons, the
disappearance of which was hastened
by a series of very cold winters between
1860 and 1870.
SNAPSHOTS AT RIGHT ANGLES
German Scientist Apparently .Looks
Away From Subject While
Taking a Picture.
Herr Dr. Weissenberger of Berlin,
who Is visiting with the German doctors.
is somewhat of an amateur detective
along scientific lines. Part of
his equipment consists of a camera,
which is calculated to deceive even
the most wary subject. Dr. Weissen
berger has photographed every mem- I
ber of the German physicians' party |
he wanted to, and none of them knew
a thing about It. He lifts what looks
like a small telescope to his eye and
looks away from the very man he
wants to snapshot. His interest seems
to be centered at right angles from the
subject, but if the man who is unwittingly
photographed chanced to be
swift enough he might catch the instant
gleam of a powerful little lens
set in the side of the rounded barrel
of the fake telescope. As the operator
of the camera looks apparently
out to sea, for instance, the image of
thngs beside him are focused clear before
him.
His finger la on a hair spring and
a pressure records what was on the
finder. Detectives in Berlin are being
equipped with the camera, which costs
about $100, so finely constructed are
they. The success met with In taking
suspects tor comparison wun existing
police photographs has proved the
value of the crafty little Instrument
So deceiving Is the apparatus that
the reporter who snapped Dr. Welssenberger
using the camera did not
think until afterward when he was
told by the doctor that he would exchange
pictures with him that he himself
had been snapshotted In return.
He Wished for Her.
They were dining in a restaurant
and he had ordered a whole roast
chicken.
'Ton see," he explained to her as he
showed her the wishbone, "you take
bold here. Then we must both make
a wish and pull, and when it breaks
the one who has the biggest pari or
It will have his or her wish gratified."
"Bat I don't know what to wish for,"
she protested.
"Oh, you can think of something,"
he said.
"No, I can't," she repli<- \ T can't
think of anything I want .cry much."
"Well, HI wish for you," he exclaimed.
"Will you really?" she asked.
"Tea."
"Well, then, there's no use fooling
with the old wishbone," she Interrupted

Farm Wagon Funeral.
The Essex squire who has been carried
to his burial in a farm wagon
drawn by a farm wagon team perpetuates
a custom which still exists in
Dther families and in other countries
and is of very ancient origin.
It typifies the intimate connection
that used to exist between the landlord

! HOW TO SPEND MY DAYS
In tbe Year 1913 Better than I Did
In 1912.
I am going to try and improve in
every way my days of 1913; be more
useful at home and at school, do as
my parents wish me, study my lesIsons.
love my teacher, beha\e my
self, be more attentive to my playmates,
try and never be absent from
school, be polite and kind to all I see,
thus following the golden rule, "Do
to others as I would have them do
to me." I am going to learn my
Sunday-school lesson and go to Sunday-school
every Sunday evening at
half past three and to preaching. I
am going to try and be a better boy.
Zack Fulmore,
Cades, S C.
I am going to spend the year 1913
by obeying my parents and studying
my lessons the best I can, so I will
not give my teacher any more trouble
than I can help. I am going to
Sunday-school every Sunday and
learn all I can there too. When I
get up every morning I must do my
task, then get ready for school in
time, so that I won't be tardy. I
must study rr v lessons at night before
I go to bed. Then I will have
them prepared for the next day. I
am a little boy in the sixth grade,
but if I start living right when I am
young as I grow older, bad habits
won't be so likely to take hold of me
and rui 1 my character.
Carl McElveen,
Cades, S C
I am going ?o try to spend my
days in the year 1913 better than in
1912. I am going to get up every
morning and cook breakfast, and
then wash dishes and get ready for
school. I want to recite my lessons
better. After school I must help at
home and study my lessons for the
next day. I am not going to worry
my teacher, I am going to do what
my parents tell me co do. I am going
to church and Sundy-school every
Sunday and try to know my Sundayschool
lesson. Thus will I endeavor
to live the coming year better than
the past. Irene Mulunix,
Cades, S C.
Last week, while reading the paper,
I came across the letters written
by the pupils of the county schools?
"How the girls and boys are going
to spend this year", so I thought I
would try to improve also. The past
year I did not take interest in school
like I should have done. But this
year I am going to take a great interest.
Not long ago we took up
the study of Latin. I intend to study
it hard and make it my easiest lesson.
I am going1 to study all my
lessons and get fine marks. I have
decided to try and take a part in the
contest given for the pupils of the
county that is to be held at Lanes.
In doing this I am not going to
forget my Sunday-school lessons. I
am going to study them, so when I
get grown I can teach a class. I go
to church every Sunday and am going
to try to fill the place God put
me here for. I am going to improve
in every way.
I am a pupil of Kingstre? school.

I am goinjt to spend the days of
1 xt T J?J
1913 in a much Deuer way man i aia
in 1912. During the school period
I intend to rise early in the morning
and make preparations for the
work of each day. I shall dress myself
neatly for school and help my
mother about the house as much as
1 can. 1 amgoing to keep the house in
the latest style, still I intend to have
my lessons prepared, recite the very
best I possibly can and obey my
- -ii it-: nri r
teacner in an umiga. ??ucu * ?cturn
from school I shall again help
about the yard and house until supper.
After supper I am going to sit
up until I learn my lessons perfect
for the next day. I shall not give
my teacher any trouble at all. During
the vacation months I shall help
my mother in the garden and the
flowers. I expect to have some
pleasure in going to picnics and publicgatherings,
because at these places
I can meet my friends and have a
good time with them.
I shall not forget my Sunday-school
lesson. I am going to preaching
and pay good attention to the preacher,so
that I can tell my mother what
the preacher says. I am going to
be as gentle as a dove to my broth
ers, sisters, friends and playmates. I
am going to learn my Sunday-school
lesson so that I can answer every
question my teacher may ask. I shall
be as near a Christian girl as possible
and persuade my friends to be so
too. I am a Bloomingvale girl in
the fifth grade. Olive Howard.
I have enjoyed reading the letters
by the boys and girls from different
parts of the county and have decided
to write my fellow-schoolmates
and tell them some of my 1913 resolutions,
which I am trying not to
fail in. First, I study my lessons
hard and try to understand them
i ? ' *
i thoroughly. I try to dress as neatly
ard quickly as possible. I try to be ^
good, loving and kind to my teachj
ers and friends, and especially to my
, elders. I go to church and Sundayi
school, pay strict attention to the
i .sermon and try to remember the ^
, preacher's text. In the afternoon I ^
read good stories. I am ten years
old and in the fifth grade. I attend
I Spring Gully school, Trio. S C.

V
I'm going to spend all my time
! this year in helping myself and help- / *
j :ng others. I am going to school
now, and I'm going to obey my
I teacher, so I will not worry her and
cause disturbance in the school
I room. I am going to help my sisters
! and brothers with their lessons when
j they ask me. I'm going to get up
j early every morning ancl after I \
; dress I will help make up the beds
' and sweep up the house, so mamma
| will not have so much to do after I
i go to school. On Saturdays I'm going
to get all my dresses ready for
the next week, so I can go clean and
neat to school. I'm going to spend
my vacation helping around home,
by helping in the garden, raising
nice vegetables to eat, and help raise
chickens and ducks, so we can have
eggs to take to school for lunckynd
also to use at home. I am goi* to
plant flowers in our flower garden so
I can have them to put in the vases ,
and to take to sick folk when I hear
of any, for it will cheer them up to
1 ? x_ i ! j.1 n
nave irienas 10 onng mem nowers.
I'm going to church as often as I
can and I'm going to study my Sunday-school
lessons, so they will be
helpful to me in understanding the
Bible. I'm going to read all the
good books I can and study in my
school books, so as to keep my mind
fresh on my books.
I am a little girl of Union High
School; am in the seventh grade.
Lottie Waldron,
Rhems, S C.
I can spend my days of 1913 better
thap 1912 because, first: I have
made a number of resolutions this
bright new year and I am going to
strive earnestly to carry them out.
I am going to try to do more this ^
>t*ai mail i uiu mat anu am ^uui^ iu
do it better. I am going to try to
be always cheerful and merry and
so bring a ray of sunshine to some
discouraged and shadowed heart.
As I am going to school now, I
will tell what I am trying to do each
day. I arise about six o'clock every si
morning, help my mother prepare
breakfast, help put the house in order,then
I prepare to go to school. I
usually sketch over my lessons every
morning to be sure I know them,
then I start for school. I have to
leave home about eight o'clock, as I
have about one mile and a half to
walk. I try to be good in school and
learn all I can. I return home about
three o'clock in the afternoon and
snend the remainder of the dav in
preparing my lessons for next day
and in various other little duties.
This is my real work, but of course
there are many other little things to
be done, and in everything, however
small, I try to be good, patient and
honest, for, as we all know, it is the
trifles that make life, and as I fully
believe life is what we make it, I am
going to strive to make mine both
useful and inspiring and a source of
interest and encouragement. I am
going to make use of every present
opportunity and,forgetting the past,
look to the future for better. It is ^?
true that to forge ahead it is necessary
to forget the unpleasant and
disagreeable things of the past, for
it is chiefly through experience and
mistakes that we learn, but I do not
think, in the possession of present
things, we should forget the countless
favors and blessings of the past.
I believe most of the pleasure of
life lies in the anticipation of what is
to come and that individual success
for which we all strive. But in all
this I will try not to let my desire 1
for success overcome my desire for
truth and justice. Some of us seem
hurled about relentlessly and unceasingly.made
to miss success or fame, ?
and even the common comforts,
throughout the greater part of our
lives. We never seem to have our
turn at success, but we may be assured
that our turn will inevitably
come, and that we, too, shall reap
precisely what we, as individuals
free to choose, have sown. These
defeats here and now may be our
means of overcoming our predisposition
to despondency, to envy, to - ?
jealousy. We cannot be real winners .5
while we keep these things in our
hearts, so disperse these; then if we
*_:i i j .... i V.

should, without recrimination or re- ,Jfit
gret, but always preferring loss to. , ^.
dishonest gain.
I am expecting to strive harder j*>
this year than ever before to do
some real good, and I hope to do <
"noble things, not dream them all v.'v^
day long, and so make life and that
vast forever one grand,sweet song."
