Mitchell Some days age there was a Blue, Bird convention held on Scapeo'er, Swamp, in Sumter county. The weatli-1 :r was very fine and there was a large number of Blue Birds present. They, nad come from nearly every county in i the State. The attendance was large | because the Blue Birds are so few as I compared with a few years ago, and because there is a widespread fear I among them that they may all die and there will not be a Blue Bird left. The convention was held at the place I have named because a Mr. -Blue Bird who lives there had sent messensengers through the State leaving this announcement: "I request that every Blue Bird in every county shall meet his fellqw citizen in some suitable field i and elect delegates to a general con- , vention to be held on Scapeo'er | Swamp, to devise some plan for the j preservation of our family." ' i Tn "response thl* call, -they came J in great numbers. They lost no time I when they had assemhlerl Kni i ? ' wmv iiiv itauing Blue Bird mounted a high twig and , made a simple but interesting speech." It was a very tender and sad speech, because it told of much suffering; and death in the family about ten or eleven >'ears ago. It was a deeply earnest speech, too, because the speaker really believed that the family is in great danger of being completely destroyed. While he spoke many of the delegates wept because of their sad condition. After this bird had finished -His speech, he asked that one bird from ~aeh county would speak and tell in simple and honest way what he knew of their history and present condition. They all spoke of the awful suffering in 1805,' ind the many deaths from cold and j hunger. It was shown in the speeches | that nearly all Blue Birds die "f cold 1 md hunger or cruelty of people, or of stronger birds. After all the speeches were made, hey decided to have one of their nutti>er write a simple statement of the acts which they had spoKcn about, and j o make an appeal for help to all ;ind-hearted and humane people. So! bright young fellow was appointed to , lo the writing and report early next norning. Then they adjourned and; cattcred over the field in search of j ood and slept in such places as they ! ould procure. When they assembled ext morning it was found on calling lie roll that tlir.??? ?? wuuj nau ecu destroyed by sonic wild animal . lg. The statement and appeal was | cad by the appointed bird and heartily pproved. This is what he wrote: "To all the people of kind and butane hearts: The Blue Bird family is' t danger of being destroyed. We . ad an innocent and simple life. We | arcly eat anything except insects, and. y nature cannot withstand much cold.1 o when the snows and freezes come1 re cannot easily secure food and soon j ie of cold and hunger. We never do he farmer or gardener harm, but al-' ravs good. We never take his fruo ut kill many harrrfmi ins,?^c. There re many birds stronger than we which rive us from our nests or destroy our; ggs or young. There are still other | nimals which feed on such helpless lirds as we. Then there are bad and houghtless boys, and even men, ^vho! lo not regard our innocence nor j alue, that take our lives for what they all sport (which is a very mysterious i vord to us). From all these foes we iced protection and there is no one L-i.wl nn.l Wl rvilivt (1IIU 11 II I I <\ 11V I icarts to help us. We appeal to you, herefore, to help us. Make us small lomes and perch them on poles or >osts where beasts of prey cannot readly find us. In these we will si eep in vinter and raise our young in sumner. Drive away the birds that would ake our homes. Teach thoughtless joys and heartless men to be good. Do this for us and we will catch many larmful insects for you and make tiore beautiful and happy this great tome of tyours. You are our only1 friends; there is no one else to help us: Then they adjourned and flew away to their homes, happy in the hope that they would have many new friends. An Easier Trip.
