A Piucky sparrou.


The sparrow, In whatever part Of the
world he Is found, seems TO earn a reputa-
ton for degree of persistency and pug
nacity altogether disproportionate TO his
size. Even the climate of India does not
enervate the valorous little creatures, and
they make their way, or take it, with the
same resolute impudence that they exhibit
in colder regions In the journal Of tho
Bombay National History society Lieuten-
ant Barnes gives some interesting particu-
lars about the house sparrows of western
India. At Deesa he found that a pair had
built their nest between pair Of antlers
on the veranda, and another pair appropri-
ated q soap box in the bathroom, where,
although their nest was destroyed several
times, they persisted in building until, out
Of compassion for their repeated labors,
they were left alone. A third pair built in
an empty birdcage hanging against wall,
and there reared their little ones, although
the cage was frequently taken down TO ex-
hibit the family to visitors. Once their
eggs were stolen, and their indignant clam
or was so disturbing that the residents of
the house, for their own sakes, were Obliged
to hunt up and restore the missing treas
ures.
Lieutenant Barnes also states that these
sparrows will attack their own image in a
looking glass and will fight with it all day,
only leaving off when darkness sets in, to
begin the battle over again the next morn
ing, so that it was often found necessary
to protect the mirrors with coverings. They
are perhaps not more brave than the fiery
little British American residents Of this
country, one of which not long ago dis
puted with bantam cock the possession of
particularly delectable tidbit. The bra
yado of the sparrow so astonished the ban
tam that he retreated in dismay, casting
glances of alright over his shoulder, so to
speak, at the small warrior, who, having
disposed of the delicacy, was indulging in
a fantastic war dance.-Worthington g

They We've Issued to Complete q RAILROAD
Years Ago.
Wooster, o., Feb. 8.--The judges of
Wayne county circuit court have de-
cided that $4,000 of Wooster city
bonds, sold in 1892 to Lamprecht Bros,
of Cleveland, are Illegal and unconsti-
tutional for the reason that the bonds
do not bear upon their face the pur-
pose for which they were issued.
The city in 1890 voted in favor of
issuing 100000 of bonds to secure
completion of a railway. The full
amount of the bonds were not issued,
but instead $4,000 of the securities
were sold.
The money was never paid into the
city treasury, but to the treasurer of a
board of railway trustees. 1t was
charged that some persons made a
good thing out of the bonds in COM
pleting the railway.

FOUR HUNDRED MEMBERS
OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
AT SANTA MONICA
Enjoyed the Hospitality Of the Pasa-
dena and Pacific Railway Com
pany and Roy Jones

Yesterday about 1 o'clock many men
were seen strolling up the street to the
entrance of the chamber of commerce,
where they quietly disappeared. Old
men, young men, middle aged men there
were; some with the sneaky manner
that boys have when they are playing
hockey" others with a distinct air of
bravado which certainly did not invite
either interference or criticism; and
others again wore a nonchalance, an I'M
consciousness of anything unusual
which bespoke the frequent merging of
business with pleasure.
1t was the gathering of the clans for
the excursion to Santa Monica, and they
gathered industriously from o'clock to
nearly H. when the last car and trailer
left the Fourth street entrance and car
ried the last of the 425 guests who had
accepted with pleasure for the after
noon. The reason all of the men went
into the chamber was because there was
a large bowl Of punch on tap at the head
of the stairs; then, too, very many of
them had overlooked the formality of
securing their tickets But Secretary
Virgins, with his customary vigor and
dispatch, was everywhere a once, load
ing cars, answering questions, dispens-
ing tickets and punch, and otherwise
getting in motion the biggest excursion
the chamber has ever undertaken, and,
as the events proved, the most success
full.
