Martins Revenge.

A correspondent tells the story Of
two house martins nests built against
an attic window OF a farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring, however, before
they arrived, a sparrow took up her
abode In one Of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole OF the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning q boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
of this. and not finding any outlet
broke away part Of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her
eggs.
The house martins had walled her
up for daring to take possession Of

gets every body in trouble that has
anything to do with it. There has
been an injunction issued prohibit
ing the city authorities from collect.
ing the usual monthly fines from the

Notwithstanding this Injunction,
the fines seems to have been col.
lected as usual. yet the city treas
urer says he has received none of
the money. 1t seems like the po-
lice force. or some body else has
been doing rather good business
in collecting these fines and appro-
priating Them.
