TRAP OF HIS BoYHooD DAYS
pne Of the Familiar Sort Set by Lads
AWakss Rsminiscences Of
City Man,
W C.. Spring Drug Co.

'I used to set traps like that" this
man saio, referring to one which some
boys had set up in city street to
catch sparrows.
1t was small wooden box turned
bottom side up and set at the outer
edge of the sidewalk with ope end
lifted and supported on a stick. One
end Of the stick,was on the sidewalk
and the other end under the box edge.
The boys put some oats on the side
walk under the box, and to the sup
porting stick there was attached
string leading across the sidewalk to
the house area, the boys lair. When
the sparrows came under the box to
get the oats you pulled the string and
twitched the stick out and down came
the box to trap the sparrows under it,
Or that was the idea.
"Just like that" this man went on.
That's a time-honored sort of trap.
We didn't have any sparrows then;
what We used to try to catch was
pigeons. doves. and We used a bigger
box, soaphnx. and what we used to
put under 1t was bread crumbs.
Thine and again I've set up such a
trap in street where pigeons used
to come around and baited it and then
got off somewhere holding the string
and waited for the pigeons to walk
under the box SO could trap EN-.
And the pigeons would come and
they'd walk around the box and pick
up things all around it and sometimes
they'd get so close that l was sure
they We're going under and then I'd
crouch down, all keyed up, ready to
pull ard get 'em, but somehow they
generally stopped right at the edge, or
= II one got under and l pulled the
string the pigeon was always sure to
get away before the box came down.
II don't know just how 1t was, but
I never caught pigeon. I guess it
will be about the same here now with
these boys trying to catch sparrows,
but it's lot of fun to set the trap and
try."

Crowded House at orpheum.
Those attending the Orpheum last
night were not only treated to a
splendid performance of hypnotism
but had all the excitement of a
closely contested baseball game-the
roofing end of it. The baseball stunt
is by far the funniest Norwood has
yet put on and the house was con-
vulsed with laughter as the six young
men coached the base runners,
roasted the umpire and tried to rat
tie the pitcher.
Norwood's performances continue
to improve, no doubt by reason of his
added experience with his subjects.
One fact that testifies to his popu-
larity is that the same people attend
the Orpheum night after night.
With all respect to the comical
antics of his male subjects, the real
bright and particular star that at
