A Blue Bird Convention.
By J. H. 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

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.
"The president of this road." remarked
the man in the oorner of the smoking
compartment, "is one of those old
fashioned railroaders. He begun as a
brakemnn. Instead of riding over the
line In n private car to Inspect It. be
walks over ft." "I ilon't blame, him."
declared the man who was making liia
first trip on the road.?Cleveland Press.
A Lasting Impression.
"Well, Bertha, I hear yon met Mr.
Cooke yesterday. Did you like him?"
"Do you know, dear, he made an Impression
upon' me that nothing will obliterate."
"Iteally! How?what did he say?"
"It wasn't what he said; It wns
what he d! 1. He spilled n cup of tea
over my new white silk dress."
Succeedod.
"Sho married him to reform him."
"Did she succeed?"
"Sure! He used to be a sj>endthrlft
and now he has notbiug to spend."?
