THIS book will contain field sketches of 

 bird life in the great middle west. Mr. 

 Clark for years has been a close student 

 of nature in a section of the country where 

 wild bird observers have been many and bird 

 writers have been few. The author takes 

 his readers afield with him and puts them in 

 close touch with our feathered friends of 

 lakeside, woodland and prairie. The bird 

 byways of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wis- 

 consin and other great middle western 

 states are thoroughly explored. Mr. Clark 

 is known to the reading public through his 

 many bird articles which have appeared in 

 the Chicago Tribune, and in the different 

 magazines of the country. He is perhaps 

 still more intimately known to middle 

 western readers by the articles from his pen 

 which have appeared several times a week 

 on the editorial page of the Chicago Times- 

 Herald, now the Record-Herald. The 

 colored illustrations in "The Birds of Lake- 

 side and Prairie" will be from our colored 

 plates slightly reduced in size. Mr. Clark's 

 work is characterized by a fineliterary style.
