HEN MATCHES EGGS IN TREE
Drives Sparrows From Nest and
Takes Possession for Her
Own Brood

Springfield, Mo.-A bantam hen
that evidently has high ideas and
ideals regarding life, and who recent
ly has felt the urge to assist in the
population of the earth. is nesting in
a tree in the deer pen of Phelps
Grove park.
In establishing her home where she
is at present busy incubating her eggs,
she dispossessed a pair of sparrows
who had carried about half a bale of
hay into the tree with the intention
of making a domfcile for their pro-
spective children.
The superintendent of the park will
probably have to haul the chicks out
of the tree when they arrive.
The sparrows built again, but I'M
der their original home, and the tree
contains a sort of doubledecked domi-
cile inhabited by both the hen and
the birds.
