.SPARR0WS' LIVING COST

Driven by 500 English sparrows, 5000
600 army worms. at a conservative esti-
mate. squirned and wiggled as fast as
they could along 18th street between L
and NJ streets northwest early this
morning. The strange battle attracted q
large crowd of curious onlookers, many
Of whom were On their way to office
Some cheered the sparrows and some the

The army worms. pests which have re-

sands of them, covering the sidewalks
from lawn to curb.
Sidewalks Monopolized.
The worms are dark colored. and were
so many in number that people, espe-
cially women. refused to pass along the
sidewalk, and took to the street The
worms, in steady ranks, as IL under the
leadership of general from which fact
they get the name army" worm), had
the walk for keeps. That is what folks
who saw them thought. The army worms
probably didn't think about 1t one way
or the other. They just kept on march
ing.
But no one reckoned on the sparrows.
First thing anybody knew. here they
came. first by twos and threes and then
by focks and droves, until one of the
streets Of the city in a long while was in
progress.
The battle of the sparrows and the
worms lasted for well over half an hour,
during which time the sparrows must
have devoured at least one-fifth of the
enemy which would make LOCO, OOC
army worms in strange camps tonight.
Activity Of the Attacking Force.
The sparrows hoped here and there
eating an army worm at every hop. 1t
was such a feast as comes only once in
a lifetime of English sparrows. Nice,
fine food was here for the eating, food
that came crawling along begging to be
eaten.
Pretty soon the ranks of the army OF
worms began to show defamation; gaps
appeared here and there. allowing the
pavement to be seen. But the worms
never wavered in their steady march
Under the leadership of their commander
they went right on.
One large sparrow with a white tail
seemed to be the commanding officer OF
the attacking legion and it is safe bet
that Gen. White Tail has indigestion to-
day. wherever he is, for no respectable
sparrow can eat more than 1886 army
worms without feeling funny afterward.
Wagers Laid on Leaders Capacity.
The commanding sparrow, owing to his
Distinguishing tail. was the cynosure of
all eyes. the onlookers betting how many
worms he would eat in thirty seconds.
Somebody said he devoured sixty-seven
worms in thirty seconds. but as that
would be at the rate Of more than two a
second no one is asked to believe the
statement.
By this time it was getting late for Of
fee. and the crowd broke up. The last
seen of the conflict the sparrows were
hopping around eating army worms for
all they were worth.
