sPARROWs, RATS AND ROOSTER.
The Small Birds Beat the Rodents, but the
Big Fowl Got Away with Them.

One morning last week a Scranton Pa.)
man placed some grain on the snow In his
back yard for a flock Of English spar
rows that had been flying around the
house I'm search of food few moments
before. He admires the sparrow for Its
pugnacity and determination to get a
living and while he was watching for the
hungry birds to settle down on the
punches of grain four rats skipped from
under the barn and went 10 niobling at
IL. In a minute or so a flock of sparrows
sailed into the yard peacefully and
alighted on the snow near the rats. They
began to peck at the grain, and the rats
paid no attention to them. Suddenly the
sparrows started to chirp and sQuaii
spltefully. They had spied the steaiers Of
their food, and at once they arose with
startled eyes and swooped down on the
rats, striking them with their wings and
bills. Their attack was so vigorous ana
sudden that the rats became scared ana
scsmpered toward the barn. The spar
rows continued to dive and squall at
them, and the rats, when they were within
two or three feet of the barn sill, turned
on their angry antagonists and drove
them back, sitting upon their hindquar-
ters and squealing as the BIRDS new

and again swooped down on the four
footed thieves. and the rats dashed from
under the fiuttering wings, turned like
fash, and sprang up at the noisy birds.
The sparrows scattered. and the pugna-
cious rats hoped to the bunch OF grain
and surrounded It. Again the sparrows
dived and squalled at their enemies, and
they made it so hot in minute or two
that the rats gave up and skedaddied
under the barn.
Instead Of returning to the food the
sparrows few to and fro near the side
OF the barn, eyed the hole where the rats
had gone out Of sight. and appeared to De
afraid that the little animals would SKIP
out again. While the birds were hitting
about and cbirping triumphly rooster
strutted out of a coop near by and went
TO pecking the grain. The sparro"s
speedily gave battle to him, but he didnt
turn tail. He gave them as good as they
sent, and I'm the fight he Knocked three
of them stiff with his wings and spurs.
Then the demoraiized birds went squaiing
