Shoe Thrown at Departing; Bride Nott Home (or Bird Family. 'Suspended from the branches of a tree in McDonough street, near Reld avenue, Brooklyn, the New York Her ald says, is an old shoe which long ago served Its term of usefulness to hu manity, but which now affords a com fortable home tor 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 .sieges. Not long ago two sparrows came Into the neighborhood and otarted house keeping in the old shoe, which affords them a shelter and Is sufficiently large for the simple tastes of aerial Hat dwellers. Whether or not the great nation of 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 np 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 ing. Judging from the chirping, the baby birds enjoy their fun just us 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.
