Popular With Sparrows.

Mr.. Parrokeet has been quite taken in
to fellowship by the sparrows. When
last observed he was busily engaged
scratching for a living in the middle OF
b street. He was surrounded by a crowd
of sparrows similarly engaged. and they
seemed to be on the best of terms with
their new acquaintance When they were
all satiated for the time the parrokeet
fiuttered into the air and made a bee line
fer the nearest tree in the Mall. The
sparrows followed and all conSregated in
the tree, chattering and apparently dis
cussing the advantages of market was-
ons over automobiles.
