Those who pass up and down II street
frequently have noticed under the bay
window of the little house which Mr..
John r. Mclean uses for his private
Offices piles of bread crumbs.
Seeing them once. one might conclude
that an untidy bakers boy has allowed
them to slip from his basket, but a
curious person who saw the crumbs
every day set about an inquiry and it
develops that Mr. Mclean claims the
birds for his own and has the crumbs
put there to protect them from hunger,
following custom at his country
place, Friendship, where he has corn
scattered all along the winding road in
the estate, after a snowstorm, that the
birds may find something to keep them
alive when everything is frozen oyer.
Not only in winter time does Mr.. Nc
Lean look out for the birds, but in the
summer he has countless little houses
distributed around Friendship, to at
tract and shelter them. The inside of
