GOOD LUCK TO SPABBOWS.
Shoe Thrown at Departinar ' Bride
Now Home for Bird Family.
Suspended from the branches of a
tree In McDonough street, near Reid
avenue, Brooklyn, the New Tork Her
ald says, Is an old shoe which long ago
served Us term of usefulness to hu
manity, but which .now affords a com
fortable home for Mr. and Mrs. Spar
row and their little brood of baby spar
rows, which are just about old enough
to fly.
For three years the old shoe, care
lessly thrown into the tree after serv
ing as a good-luck emblem at a wed
ding, has been swinging In the branch
es, defying wind and weather. There
have been storms In the neighborhood
that have uprooted trees and broken
off their branches, but the tree in
which the old shoe has found a lodg
ment has withstood all weather slegua
Not long ago two sparrows came luto
the neighborhood and started house
keeping In the old shoe, which affords
them a shelter and Is sufficiently lare
for the simple tastes of aerial flat
dwellers.
Whether or not the great nation ol
birds Is ruled by an ornithological
Roosevelt Is not known, but certain it
Is that Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow are not
believers In race suicide, and since tak
ing up their abode In the old shoe they
have raised a large brood.
The Sparrow family has many of
the comforts and conveniences of life.
The opening In the shoe serves all the
purposes of a vestibule. The tip not
only makes a fine piazza for the whole
Sparrow family In fair weather, but
makes a fine swing for the Sparrow
children when the wind is gently blow
lng. Judging from the chirping, the
baby birds enjoy their fun just
much as human children might enjoy
an old orchard swing.
Residents of the neighborhood, even
the children, appreciate the situation
and every day one of the families
whose homes are near the tree leaves
out food so that the father and mother
bird need not send any of their brood
to bed hungry.

"That would seem to Indicate," said

The young wife sniffed.
"It unquestionably Indicates," she
said, "that George is an easy loser."
