THE CEAZY FLICKER 



MR. BURROUGHS somewhere has said that 

 if ever a iiicker goes crazy, he will go crazy 

 boring holes. I never doubt anything Mr. Bur- 

 roughs says about birds and beasts, and so for a 

 good many years I have confidently expected 

 that when I found a crazy fiiclcer I should find 

 him, as Mr. Burroughs predicted, boring holes. 



Of course I never went armed with gun or 

 glass, expecting to meet a real crazy, mad-house 

 flicker, though I liave long been convinced that 

 the whole flicker family is queer and, indeed, 

 somewhat crack-brained. But there are crazy 

 flickers, and at last I am able to report the cases
