ROBIN AND BLACKBRD
| KEEP HOUSE TOGETHER

NOANK. Conn, May 22.-Cap-
tain J. c. Sistare, fair and square
sailorman, and T.. NJ. Ashby, good
citizen and true, have been
shocked at the alliance which has
been formed between a rather
rakish looking blackbird and a
robin, which have evidently
formed a partnership and have
started housekeeping together.
The pair was at first noticed
carrying sticks, dry grass. etc.,
to a corner of the caves trough in
house near the freight yard.
Some fussy observer did not like
this evidence of bird miscegena-
tion-or whatever IL might be
called-and routed the saucy pair
from this perch Now, however.
they have taken possession of the
decayed spot in an apple tree
where the limb had been sawed
off, the blackbird making the
place larger with his long, sharp
bill.
The pair are never seen with
others of their species, and it is
evident that they have been os-
black birds.
