A reader, expressing much interest In a recent Talk about American birds, writes to ask if the robin makes long flights especially if he goes as far south in winter as Cuba. The writer is a distinguished Brooklyn physician and Is a land owner on the Isle of Pines, lying about 60 miles south of Batabano, on the Caribbean side of Cuba. He wants to know if robins taken to that island could fly back to the, greater island and thence cross Florida Strait and come North. I have advised him to write direct to John Burroughs, who knows more about American birds than anybody else. It would be a very pretty Idea to color nize the Isle of Pines with robin-redbreast.

I hope this man will try it. A contemporary historian anounces an important incident of pre-Revolutlonary stitute, "for the reason that Doctor TODAY'S BROOKLYN STORY Plank's fee for a first visit Is $25 and $5 thereafter, while mine is $10 for the first call and $3 thereafter." The patient paid his 110 and we left coming city and county elec-, tions. The trouble, is too many amateurs are trying their hands at political management this fall. Their memories are not sufficiently long to carry them back to the Baltimore Con-ventlon. Is it possible that Tammany's steadfast support of Champ Clark for the Democratic nomination has been overlooked? Do not most political debts have to be paid? Again, has Mr.

Hapgood forgotten that a United States Senator, to succeed Elihu 'Root, will be elected by popular vote a year hence? Is it not rather clear who the candi the office. It was not until we had lowing ones. The scientific musicians and the mighty critics who never know what the public want but who are quite certain that they know what the public ought to want, cast contemptuous glances at Stephen Adams' outputs. But nevertheless these works struck a popular chord and are quite likely to live as "Home, Sweet Home," "The Last Rose of Summer," "Killarney," 'Angels Bright and Fair, "Old Folks at Home," and a number of others that might be mtntioned have lived in the hearts of the public. Many years have elapsed since "The Holy City" was tbe rage, but rior Bold," "The Blue Alsatia Mountains" and "The Midshipmite" was a man named Michael Maybrlck and not Stephen Adams, as printed on the title pages.

Stephen Adams was a fictitious name he used to conceal from his friends at his home, in the Isle of Wight, that he was given to writing songs, or ballads. Though an educated musician, who had devoted years to the study of music, he had another Bide, which was a public one. For many years in the Isle of Wight he had devoted his energies to municipal affairs, and. Indeed, had, for several terms, been Mayor of Ryde. He seemed to feel that if his constituency should come to know that he was a writer of songs they would lose faith in his ability.

And what he did per-cmIvo was that there were a great number of women admirers present who were singing a paraphrase of the lines of the song he sang so well, which was, "Oh! hey! Tom Karl is Going Away." None of the songs named but will have a place In the memories of those who heard them when they were first presented.

When I went to the city with the Colonel, the Colonel suggested that as a matter of economy it might be well if we got a hotel room with two beds in it. Being naturally somewhat weak minded and easily influenced, I agreed, and we went to bed about midnight. After I had been asleep for a few minutes I began to dream of the battle of Gettysburg. 1 could hear the rattle of small arms which greeted Pickett's gallant charge. Then I could hear the deep-throated siege guns and the terrible scream of shells as they flew through the air.

These sounds were intermingled with the groans of the wounded and the hoarse commands of the officers. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion and I woke up with every individual hair in my head standing straight up on end. The Colonel was snoring. I did not know at the time that the Colonel was the champion long-distance plain or fancy snorer of our country. I sat and listened, spellbound.

The Colonel imitated all of the beasts of the jungle, the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. He gave a correct imitation or a panic in a circus menagerie, which was the best thing of its kind that I had ever heard. Then he gave a vivid portrayal of an explosion aboard a Mississippi river King John Bunny.

Then he gave a one-cylinder automobile climbing a steep hill, which was the best thing he did. He followed this with a motorboat race which seemed to conclude his programme, as he gasped and woke up. It was then 7 o'clock and I had not closed my eyes since 1:30. During all of his imitations, the Colonel had not repeated himself.

The next time the Colonel and I are detailed to do any committee work together in a distant city, one of us will go and the other one will stop it home. Attest: Wacke, Earl, Marshal of the Kingdom. President James A. Nelson promises that there will be no lack of music, light and color. After the coronation core-monies the first parade will take place.
