GOOD WORDS FOR THK “REVISED CREED.” 121 
There were two entrances to his house, a front and back 
door, or, possibly, an emergency door, by which he could 
escape in case of invasion by foe or flood. He was exceed¬ 
ingly quick motioned, as evidenced by the picture, which 
was taken with a rapid lens, working at f—6, and this was 
the best result of several. It would be interesting to 
know 
“What he thought of me the while, 
Whether his feelings were of fear or no ; 
But unless we are shrewd enough to guess, 
Be sure we’ll never know.’’ 
Who can tell ? It may be the thing in Squirreltown to do 
such outre things—-that he has already told his hearers 
of his experiments with the big two-legged animal, and 
that he means to resume them. Be that as it may, I hope 
the brave little fellow is enjoying the results of our experi¬ 
ments, and that, safe from harm, we shall renew our ac¬ 
quaintance another season. 
Good Words for the “Revised Creed.” 
Editor of ‘ 1 Nature Study : ’ ’ 
My sister is going to take your magazine, and I enclose 
her subscription. 
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the “ Revised 
Creed,” as I think English sparrows are much abused. I 
have watched them a great deal, and do not consider them 
any more quarrelsome than other birds. In fact, I have 
seen more quarrels among swallows and goldfinches, I 
think, in comparison with their number. 
I was quite amused last spring by seeing a Summer 
yellowbird chase an English sparrow entirely away from a 
fir tree where it was feeding, and the sparrow did not make 
the least resistance. M. A. Ayres.
