We, heavy' creatures 'er the earth, sll feel that if we’ enola s‘iIord`it, as _veryifew of us can, it would be an -ideal iifeto spend the later spring, 'the summer and the early autumn in a climatesuchas ours and to betake our- selves to a warmer climate during the winter. This the bird tribes do. In the

autumn they gather themselvesin council, and then as if by agreementset their faces toward the south, the land of perpetual `summe'r. Bel-loida flock' of wild geese t-has assembled and with infinite chatter making their an-'angeinents for the long' iiight of' a thousand mlics. W`iio siiail lead the long aerial march? Among all

gregarious creatures, insects, beasts or birds, there is a recognized lender. So among the geese the venerable gander who has, perchance many times led the

annual exodus froni__ south to north and from nortll to south is again entrusted with the command. What shall be the

form of the procession? The question admits of but one answer, the thick wedge ofVsllnpe, familiar to the eyes of all observers, with the leader at _ the

far south. Thence nn, without chart or WIDPHSS. Save the sun, the mountain peaks or the coastline by day and the stars by night, on through the declining day, the twilight, the night, the down and the day that follows, upborne by indefiltigir ble wings, they speed their way until they reach the land of the magnolia and the orange, where weary and hungry they greet again the vanished summer of our northern land in ii southern clluie.

Let us suppose that one of our weaithler

citizens, deslringto escape the cold and storms of our winter, determines to remove for a few months to the warm
