day at my disposal, in consequence of a

day to looking: for waste pins and dead
birds. I first housed all over the floor
of my room for pins. and as I passed out.
of the house made nscarch along all the
halls and at the front door: but I cou'd
. not find a win. ‘ I then wn‘ikcd slang the

' and dead bird . but found none. In the
[ afternoon I took in several of the parks.
I hunted near the seats for pins, and
I under all the trees and in the crevices of
fences for birds. but all in vain.
Toward evening I realized how bene—
‘ ficial it is to walk "with an object.“ but
~I did not. have 1 single pin or bird to
1 show for my hunt. I was compelled to
: ndtnit that it was something of a puzzle
, to tell what became of them. Not. how-
ever, that I never see u stray pin or s
5 dead sparrow. l have met with antim-
: ber of people who never saw a dead goat.
' or I don mule. but everybody hns
ipicked up a pin. and It long intervals
' seen a dead bird. The puzzle is that.
while so many millions of pins and birds
must be gotten away with every day. we
find so few of them. By the way. I
think I never saw u dead pigeon in my
