Redhead dearly love a crowd. They

prefer living right where things are happening, i peopls that paaa. an noise there is. tbe bei

1 recall a pair of these social little Chapa that for several yean j had thslr home, and raised theii children In a dug-out In a tele- , phone pole that stood on one ol I the busiest corners in tbs town Tbe pole was creosuted unUI It

smelled like a b hundred wires wi

rroaa-arma. and a lead cable carrying many more, uses the pole as one of Its supportn In winter

People think when they

doing this noisy stunt that they are digging for a dinner of worms but there la little chaoce of finding worms In a tin roof, or In wood so dead and dry that It la aa resonant as the strings of a violin. No. whan you hear them beating the long-roll, that la their love aong being broadcasted to the

eligible ladles of the grove. Unhindered by the noise of the

etreeta. the mated pair patiently

leading

straight to the heart of the pole, id Si the end a neat little pocket chiseled out where the eggs are laid. They do not take the trouble gather material to make a neat. I are placed right on the ‘ cling

the strange peopls and tbs stranger cars that are continually passing. Aa they grow up in such noisy surroundings. they«aoon get used to it all. and would not know what to do with themselves if their home happened to bs in a lonesome pine on the edge of the

1 bare floor. And as the eggs are , down at the bottom of a dark hole. . where nobody sees them, she ! wastes no time or paint In decorat- | Ing them with the spots and mottling we ace on eggs that are (exposed to view, but she leaves < them plain white, knowing that | they are safe enough. Mr. Redhead cheerfully takes hla turn in helping to keep the eggs warm, and when they batch both parents have about all they can attend to In bringing grubs and grasshoppers to tbe hungry babies It la not long before the young are strong enough to scrambls out on one of the cross-arms that ara right below thslr front door, where they watch

Did you ever notice that a woodpecker's toes are not arranged Uke the toea of other birdaT A chicken, well aa tbs smaller birds have ir toss In all. three pointing to > front and one to the rear, while s woodpecker has two in front and behind. This arrangement Is •aery for dinging to the bark while digging for their food: If It

for tbe two back toss they

ot hold on In an upright

position—they would fall over backwards It thslr toes were spaced Uke thoee of a chicken. Suppose a chicken should try to

bark of a tree, what

you think would happen? And then, the quill feathers In a woodpecker's tall are stiff and sharp polmei' so that he can lean back comfortably, and In a way, alt on

hi* tall while at work.
