Show CROW ROOSTS IN A STORE "Jim" Dropped Into Basement of Candy Establishment, and Has Decided to Stay. Utlca, N. Y. John Laneve, manager mana-ger of a confectionery store, has undertaken un-dertaken the task of bringin-s up a baby crow. "Jim," as the bird Is called, was discovered by Mr. Laneve in his cellar. No one ksows how the bird found his way to this cover, but evidently he had made up his niir.d to remain even before Mr. Laneve picked him up and prepared to make a home for the bird. On the first day after his capture, "Jim" was taken from the store and placed in a tree. He remained on the perch until he became hungry. Then he vacated and flew into the store, where he rested on a perch that had been erected for his convenience. There "Jim" sits for hours at a time and eyes the customers as they come and go. He tries to say "Hello" when visitors speak to him, but the attempt is a sveak one, as it is only a "Cuw," said crow fashion. |
