spARRows IN REVOLT.
rhsy wouidn't Put Up with the Presence
OF stranger Bird.


OF stranger Bird.
Probably more tnan 1000 people
stopped by the frog pond on Boston
common between and o'clock in the
evening and looked mp into the trees,
relates the Boston Transcript IL was
apparent that something unusual was
going on. The air was tlled with birds
uttering sharp cries, and the din was
kent up for over half an hour
A kingbird started all the trouble.
Where he came from nobody knew. one
of the sparrow sentinels awoke from
doze in the branches Of tall tree on
the north side OF the pond and spied the
intruder. His sharp cries for help
brought n number Of other sentinels
from trees I'm the vicinity. and they
gathered around the kingbird at safe
distances and chattered. The kingbird
sat still. Then the sparrows decided to
summon a posse" It did not take
long. for sparrows Of all ages and all
sizes had begun to crowd around to see
what was tho trouble within two min
utcs after tbs first alarm the air i'm the
vicinity was black with sparrows. Then
began a vigorous and concerted attack
on the kngbird. They darted at him
from I'm front and behind, from all sides
and from above. all the time keeping up
screaming that caused the people on
the walks to stop and see the fun. Now
anybody who has ever seen a kingbird
harry q big hen hawk knows that a
kingbird is game, but the thousand or
more sparrows in the air began TO make
IL uncomfortable for the intruder. FL
nally when the kingbird saw the people
gathering on the walks he began to fear
an attack from below, and, with what,
in bird language probably stands for a
"hoarse. mocking laugh the villain
fed over the public garden. A small
body of sparrows gave him an escort
out Of sight but most Of them remained
to talk over the affair

the way lapsed into silence, nodded till

All night the noise of the train was
insufficient to drown the chorus of Gu

snort. Another would begin quietly
with something like a moan, which
would grow louder and deeper with
each breath, till further continuance
without asphyxiation was impossible,
and then it would explode in a tumul-
tuous volley of splitter, and then da
capo ad infinitum. If, among fairly
sober people, there is to be found any
assemblage more limp, f~orlorn. bed
