Birds Free From Prosecutors.

FTOm me " aSnInBLDn STAR
Birds having a keen eye out for resi-
dence quarters in Washington find the
White House grounds the most fash
ionable and select neiehborhood they
can enter. This is especially so of birds
desiring quiet life, without being sub
jected to the rubber-necking of other
birds, animals and human beings. Spar
rows in great numbers have their homes
in the grounds, but they would be just
as much at home on Pennsylvania ave
nue. and it is said by the bird doctor at
the White House that the sparrows
which live around there are recluses, or
have been run away from the thickly
settled quarters of the city There is
plenty of room for more of these little
rascaIs in the ground, where the trees
furnish quiet places for building and
Matching but the great majority of these
birds appear not to care much for these
delightful grounds. For feeding pur-
poses the White House grounds are not

a success, because they are always kept
clean. In addition to the value of the
grounds for residence purposes there IS
one distinct advantage. That Is in the
bathing facilities. The White House
sparrows are like Japanese people in
this respect. When they are not chat
tering about this thing and that they
are bathing in the different fountains in
the grounds.
At all hours of the day, but more par
tcularly in the mornings, the little spar
rows assemble at the fountains, fit to
the leaves of the water plants and dive
and duck as long as they desire. They
are not good swimmers and do not wear
fancy bathing suits. Where water IS
convenient sparrOws are Clearly little
animals. Each leaf of a water plant
is strong enough to hold the weight Of
a bird and there Is not much danger Of
drowning. At any rate, no life guards
are stationed by the sparrows to watch
and protect incautious birds.
Blackbirds, robins. thrush. bluebirds
and crows make their home in the
White House grounds, together with
other varieties. Nearly all the year
round robins may be seen on the
grounds, and they have their nests
front of the grounds and hunt among
the flowers and plants for worms. They
do not battle themselves like sparrOws.
They are comparatively tame, as no one
bothers them. These few robins have
been in the grounds for years. They do
not go far north like the others of their
tribe in the summer months. The
Washington climate suits them. In the
winter they disappear for a trip to the
winter resorts in the south. but come
back early in the spring. The black
birds seen in the grounds are big fell
lows, half az big as crows and just as
glossy back.
A rain crow which lives in the grounds
and in the trees of Lafayette square
can be heard just before each rain Civ
ing his peculiar warning that rain may
be expected. Old timers at the White
House say that this bird is a better
prophet than the weather bureau so far
as rain is concerned.

is to appear at the Grand Opera House
next Friday night is sure to insure

has greeted the comedy in every theatre
in which it has been seen this season
can only be attributed to the excellence
OF the production.
"The Rising Generation" as is well
known, portrays the adventures of an
lrshman, who rose from poverty to
wealth in the metropolis of America.
