Birds as skilled carpenters in nature’s workshop
An extended account catalogs the little woodpecker, nutlatch, tomtit and toucan, detailing their beaks and drilling work. It describes how the birds nest by boring into trees, aided by their specialized bills and even tongues, and recounts an experiment with a tomtit in a waxed thread cage showing relentless pecking and nest-building behavior. Also notes Senator McDonald’s bill to curb domestic violence and restore state-led defense of peace amid contested elections.

Woodpeckers as hard working carpenters in nature
Mrs. G. Trall notes in the N. Observer that woodpeckers resemble carpenters, boring into trees for food and nesting, often solitary and laborious. The piece contrasts their frugal nests with other birds' play, highlighting the birds' constant toil and lone song in the forest.
Presidential Pledge as a Substitute for Law
The piece notes the inconsistency of President Hayes with the Ladd bill veto and his pledge not to use the army as poll police. It argues a pledge cannot replace a law, cites Mayes’ failed pledges, and condemns Mayes’ surrender to party leaders, calling the pledge an apology for subserviency to the party. DeProit Free Press.
