Oh, Acteon, be gone ere yet the dawn Hath dried from vine and leaf the crystal dew;Go, go! ere Dryad, Nymph and bearded Faun Come to avenge the death of her ye slew.But look! Fate holds him and he waits too long, The meadow seethes in anger and dismay;The eagle claps his wings, ten thousand strong Flash creatures of the forest forth to slay! And he who reaped the life blood of the doe,The king of birds strikes earthward with a blow! So are the weaker championed by the strong;So doth the hunter with the hunted bleed;And so the eagles battle ringing song Doth voice for man a brave immortal creed! —Paul Brandreth.</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>Passenger Pigeon. Alabama, ip 15. 55 LAST OF WILD PIGEONS DIES NiEWS of the death in Cincinnati of Martha, the last wild1 pigeon in the world, according to all ornithological records,88331 was conveyed recently to P. Gilbert Pearson, general execu-tive officer of the National Audubon Societies, in a telegramfrom Eugene Swope, the Ohio agent of the societies at Cincinnati.The death of Martha, according to Mr. Pearson, is a calamity of asgreat importance in the eyes of naturalists as the death of a Kaiserto Germans throughout the world. Martha had been in poor health for several years in her cage atthe Zoological Garden in Cincinnati. Many efforts had been madeto find a mate for her, or to discover some other specimen of thewild pigeon, but they were without avail. According to all ornitholo-gical data available, Martha was the last of her tribute in the world. Members of the National Audubon Societies some time ago of-fered a prize of $1,500 to any one who could find a wild pigeon nest</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
