Youth's Companion. FEASTED ON SPARROWS. A Diet Tliat Did A'ut Affrce With tlio Crane. "Some time ego I hnd occasion to ob serve an Interesting change In the hab its and temperament of a crane which had been picked up In the swamps ot Arksmas," saJd a gentleman from one of the towns on the Mississippi river, "and the change wan startling too. The jnme was placed In a small pari: which was literally tilled with English iipar iowc. These pests did not ko the vis itor from thu lowlands, and they inado dally assaults on the poor bird. Tho crane was a pretty fowl, long, slender, .pure white and with tho stately stride pt a tragedian. The sparrows would sys tematically swoop down on the crano n droves, nud tho attacks were flcrco and vicious. The era tie stood the assaults with In difference for awhile, but finally the fowl from the swamps figured out a method of retaliation, and It was effec tual. In some wuy tho crane learned that sparrow was a pretty sweet mor sel. From the time she learned It she feasted on sparrows. She would slip up cautiously on these pesky twittercrs and throw her yellow beak out like n gig. She never missed the mark. She always landed a sparrow, and a singu lar part of tho thing Is that she would cswallow them whole, feuthers and all. Iiut the crane would always dampen the bird by dipping It lu one of tho wa ter basins of the park. "The diet evidently did not agree with the crane, and she became n trifle droopy ami showed signs of Indisposi tion. She tinully died, and tho keeper of the park believes that the craue'a death was caused by u severe cose of indigestion brought on by eating spar--on-- '.iv Orleans Times-Democrat.
