Good observers are probably about ne
rare as good poets. Accurate seeing,
an eye that takes in the whole trutlx
and nothing but the truth -how rare
indeed it is: 13o few persons know or
can tell exactly ythat they see; se few
persons can draw a right inference
from an observed fact; ep few persons
can keep from reading their own
thoughts and preconceptions into what
they eee. Only a person with the scien-
tific habit of mind, can be trusted to
report things as they are. Most of us
in observing the wild life about us see
more or eee less of the 'truth, We see
lees when our minds are 411 or preoc-

This is true of most country people,
We eee more when we read the lives of
the wild creatures about us in the Iight
of our htiman experience and impute

'and, methods. This is too often true of
the eager city man or woman wbo sal-
lies out into the country to study na-
