THE LITTLE TITMOUSE.

One Free Bird That Attracts Attention
Among Hundreds of Captives-
In big bird store where there are
hundreds of birds of many kinds inces-
sanity squawking, chirping and singing
there Is one that Is free-a tiny tit
mouse. The window Is full of cages
containing birds Of various sorts, and
one side of the store is lined with bird
cages stacked mp high all along. But
there is none that attracts 80 much at
tention as the little titmouse fitting
about the store at will. At night it
perohes ON a gas fixture in the window,
and to that it comes back from its vari-
Gus excursions by day.
Customers that come IN to buy birds
and birdcages and bird seed and one
thing and another never fail to notice
the titmouse. They may not notice an
other bird there individually, but their
attention Is sure to be attracted by this
one as it darts about, free among so
many captives, and they are likely to
smile at IL, they are so pleased with it.
And sometimes children, looking in at
the windows of the bird store. come in
TO tell the clerk that one of the birds
has got loose.
When it has nothing else to do. the
titmouse sits OH its gas pipe perch and
perks its head this way and that and
looks about. Sometimes it whets its
beak OH the gas pipe. Every now and
then it dashes off somewhere. If it
wants drink, it perches ON the rim of
a goldfish globe-for home aquariums
and stock for them are sold here as we'll
as birds-nO doubt To the great surprise
of the goldfishes and certainly to that
of the human behOlders, who wonder
that it doesn't fall in, it has to bend
over so far to reach the water. But it
gets it, and when it has taken its fill it
flashes back to its perch on the pipe IN
the window.
The titmouse catches spiders and 9TH
er insects, and 1t feeds i'll the larger
cages when it will. It goes III and out
of them between the bars with perfect
ease 1t is very little bird, even with
its plumage in its natural form. With
its feathers pressed against its sides 1T
can get through very narrow space
between the bars of a parrots cage, for
example-with ease. There are in the
window a number of parrots cages III u
row. The titmouse almost flies through
these cages, stopping in each perhaps TO
eat of the parrots food, but they never
modest il. Parrots that would bite at
the finger of a man who should put his
hand near enough to the outside of their
cage stand back in fright or sheer
amazement when the little titmouse
dashes in and perches ON their feed cup.

NAVAL DANGERs TO ILLINOIs.

illinois may have to be called out to
make war on Capt. Sivley, OF the
steamer Peoria, which plows the
waters of the Illinois in the vicinity
of the city after which the boat is

refused to let the boiler inspector OF
the United.States enter the boiler of
his boat and punch q hole therein
with cold chisel in order TO show
that he is genuine inspector. With
Streeter making war against the

with Capt. Sivley in the center of IL g

with st. Louis protesting and fight
