STORIES ABOUT BIRDS. 



I tMnk you will not consider it altogether too 

 cHldish for you. You must know that one 

 species of the snow bird, sometimes called the 

 hlach cap, sings rather a pleasant strain, em-

 sounds something like the chorus in my song. 

 Indeed, he is sometimes familiarly called the 

 Chickadede.
