NARROW ESCAPE
On a tree by a w'indow of the Hostetler farm near Adrian. Michigan, two little birds sat the other day and twittered to a farmer and his family. They were Mr and Mrs Baltimore Oriole, and they began to build a nest. Mrs Oriole laid two eggs, and soon the baby birds hatched out.
Then one morning a catastrophe happened. A new gardener who was pruning the trees chopped off the bough where the Oriole family had sei. up house, and carried it away with him in his truck. It was not long before the Hostetler family discovered their loss and raced after the truck. Then the difficulty was to find the nest among the pile of severed boughs, but find it they did. with the mother bird and her chicks still safe inside it!
