Make Pets of Storks
During Cold Weather

The pnssage of the storks Is watched
with great deal OF interest by the
natives OF many countries Of Europe
md the people invariably do all they
can to attract and protect them.
These birds become so tame that they
return to the same place year after
year and seem to take their places ms
members OF the family. A native writ
err in Asia Minor says: "These birds
usually migrate farther south In win
ter, but many remain and become
quite tame. In cold weather they do
not hesitate to approach the fires
burning In the municipality courtyard
to warm themselves.
"The people give them snakes and
other tldblts. The birds also know
the butcher shops well and sometimes
go there begging for scraps Of meat
Some have curious habit Of stand.
Ing patiently In front Of such shop
and solemnly salaamlng with their
heads In supplcatlon. This mute up
peal seldom goes unrewarded."
