The Hungry Country. 
Down through the night, faint voices call; 
You hear them if you hark ; 
And shadows flit across the moon 
And are lost out in the dark. 
Over the land, over the sea, 
They travel by night and day, 
For this is the Hungry Country now, 
The birds must hurry away. 
Yes this is the Hungry Country 
For those that linger here, 
The land of cold and starvation, 
With death’s shadow always near. 
So put out your birds’ lunch counter, 
With nut-shells, crumbs and grain, 
And tie your suet to a limb; 
• The winter it here again. 
And build a tent of corn and brush 
To keep Bob-Wiiite from the cold, 
And scatter his grain out in the fields. 
For this hunted one is not bold. 
For this is the Hungry Country, and, 
To the birds that linger here, 
Don’t we owe at least their daily food 
In thanks for their winter cheer.

' An Eagle Seen in Chicago. 
On October tenth of this year, a huge 
Eagle flew over the Aztec Tennis grounds 
in Chicago. 
The Aztec Club is just west of Lincoln 
Park. The day was very windy, and the 
big bird came from the north-east, some¬ 
times with •movement of his wings, some¬ 
times sailing almost dead against the 
south-west wind. He flew so low that 
one could seethe outlines of the feathers 
at the ends of the wings and also note 
distinctlv that he had a dark head; but 
•/ 
this did not prove that he was not a Bald 
Eagle, for they do not get their white 
heads until their third year. He went 
on, without haste or seeming uneasiness, 
into the southwest, and disappeared over 
the buildings of the citv.

The Btuejay. 
Many of you know the sad reputation 
of the bluejay for his quarrelsome habits, 
but before we convict him for his mis¬ 
deeds is it not well to pause to consider 
some of the causes of his bad behavior? 
Not so many days ago a bluejav’s nest 
was dislodged from its shelter in a tree 
growing near my home in Hyde Park, 
Chicago. The nest fell to the ground 
with its tiny baby birds and in a short 
time one of young twin dogs became 
deeply interested in the thought of a forth¬ 
coming feast. He tortured the little 
birds with all the cunning of his young 
blood, while the distracted parent jays 
screamed their distress from the tree. 
Then like a flash the bluejays flew down, 
attacked the dog and drove him off. 
The rescue of the birdlings was no asy 
task for the parent birds, but with per¬ 
severance their nest and family were 
finally restored to their leafy home. 
It then became a part of their daily 
duty to administer adequate punishment 
to the adventurous dog, and even though 
the likeness between the two dogs was so 
great that people living in their vicinity 
could not distinguish one from the other, 
the bluejays were never failing in setting 
upon the culprit. They made life so
