Flock of Sparrows, but Didn't

A score or more of sparrows found shelter
in the cellar of c. w. Britt's home, 25S9
California street. during Thursday nights
blizzard.
Awaking early to encourage an already
roaring fire with a few more shovelsful OF
anthracite, Mr.. Britt came near thinking he
had entered the place where bats and other
winged creatures held forth and the Ice
trust does not do any business. He ran
into the birds that were thawing out around
his furnace. and then mixed up with his
pet bulldog, whose slumbers on a piece Of
old Brussels were disturbed by the flutter
Of wings and the twitter of disturbed SPAR
rows. For a few seconds. the air was alive
with feathery something's and the growls
from an ugly canine jaw, after which Fido
went back to his carpet and the birds set
tied down again. A small hole between
the foundation and framework OF the house
was the means of entrance for them and
they had taken ample advantage of It.

realize why they had been besieged all
