The Butcher Bird.

1t is dou otful if there is among the
enemies of the small birds one that is
more feared or inspires greater terror than
the shrike or butcher bird. This fact is
we'll demonstrated in the case OF the Eng
lish sparrow. Ordinarily, this little
scavenger of the city streets doesn't care a
rap for anything that walks, runs or flies
but the appearance OF a shrike among a
flock of sparrows will fill them with a
degree of terror bordering on insanity
and with the exception of one iuckless
yictim-the shrike seldom makes mis-
take-they scatter, and with such comp
leteness that one would almost doubt that
there ever was sparrow in that vicinity.
The following story, however, by a
writer in the Biddeford Journal, of fight
between a shrike and a purple finch, in
W hich the latter was trying TO save her
ba oies in the nest, would seem to indicate
that sometimes the feathered murderer
meets more than his match.
81 stood ten minutes and watched the
desperate fight of the female against such
terrible odds. 1t was like timid woman
fighting against burglar with a revolver
in each hand. She would spring from the
nest and light on the murderer's back and
strike him on the head with her short
beak and drive him few rods away, and
back she would fly and cover her young
But no sooner would she fairly get on the
nest again before he would be back trying
to take the young from her.
Well, this went on for long while.
Such screaming and crying was most
pathetic, but at last the end came. There
was streak of purple through the trees
and male finch came to the rescue, and
the way those two birds did the shrike up
was sight to behold. 1t was like
Sheridan's ride. He saved the day, and
their babies still live in the tree top.n
