4 Squirrel and Her Babies.
Old citizens of Toledo distinctly

Old citizens of Toledo distinctly re-
member the time when there was an
immigration of squirrels in this vicinity.
On y certain day n gentleman was on
the bank of Ten-Mile Creek when the
number of squirrels moving was unus-
ually large. Among the squirrels was
one that exhibited such motherly care
and affection for her two little ones as
to prove most interesting sight She
reached the bank of the creek where a
crossing was to be made. The little
squirrels were quite timid about going
near TO the water, but the mother
coaxcd them until they seemed to be
satisfied TO do as she wished. She ran
along the shore, and finding piece of
bark about foot long and six inches
wide, dragged it to the waters edge
and pushed it into the water so that
only n small part of one end of the
bark was resting on the shore. She
then induced her little ones to get on
the bark and they at once cuddlcd
closely together, when the old squirrel
pushed the bark and its load into the
stream, and, taking one end of the bark
in her teeth. pushed it ahead of her
until the opposite bank was reached,
where the young squirrels quickly
scampercd up the bank of the creek,
where the mother rested for few min
utes, when the journey was resumed

Tnc Destruction of the Homestead.

The old "gambrel-roofed house" cx-
lists no longer. l remember saying
something, in one of series of papers
published long ago in this magazine,
about the experience of dying out of Il
housc-of leaving it forever, as the soul
dies out OF the body. We may die out
of many houses, but the house itself
can die but once; and so real is the life
of house, so real TO one who has
dwclt in it, more especially the life Of
the house which held him in dreamy
infancy, in restless boyhood, in pas
sionatc youth--so real, say, is its life
that it seems rs if something ike a
soul of it must outlast its perishing
frame.
The slaughter of the "old gambrel-
rooted house" was, am ready to adj
nit, q case of justiliable homicide. Not
the less was it to be dcplored by all
who love the memories of the past.
With its destruction are obliterated
some of the footprints of the heroes
and martyrs who took the first steps in
the long and bloody march which led
us through the wilderness to the prom
iscd land of Independent nationality.
Personally, / have right to mourn
for it as part of my life gone from

professional Dignity

Doctors are fond Of talking about the
dignity OF the profession, and do their
best TO uphold it. An eminent London
physician once told me, in CONVERSE
ton, that lie makes roint OF never
thanking Lis patients for his fee when
he takes it, but simply pockets it rs u
matter of course as his due. Ipresume
he would similarly disdain to ask for it
should the patient depart without of
fering TO pay. They sometimes do
this. A friend OF the writer, who was
once treated thus by n lady richly at
tired, stopped her just as she was max
ing her exit. and in the bandest of
terms begged to be allowed to look at
.he prescription again for moment.
He looked at it for few seconds, and
then, tearing it across, threw it into
The fire. "L;ylies in silks and satins,
he said, "can generally afford to pay"
and calmly rang his bell for his servant
30 usher in the next patient.
Doctors occasionally get the worst of
it, though, when they stand too much
on their dignity with patients. A local
practitioner in country town was one
day sent for to visit child in tho fam
lily of one of his patients. On arrival
he found his little patient had been all
ing Cor some days, and asked why he
had nUt been called in before. "Oh,"
said the mother, 1--WE have been giving
it bottle of Els stuff, mentioning
patent medicine prepared by q veteri-
nary surgeon we'll known in the coun-
try, and bottle of which she had OBJ
tanned at the chemists. "Whatn' ex-
claimed the doctor, "expect me to at
tend after horse doctor?" and he
marched off in great indignation. The
father of the child was baker, and
supplied the doctors family with bread.
Next day no bread was delivered at
the doctors house. The doctors wife
put on her bonnet and shawl and went
out to call on the baker, respecting the
omission. On entering the shop she
saw the bakers better-half, and polite
ly intimated that she had called to say
that no bread had been left as usual,
and she would be glad to have some
sent. "Oh, no, was the reply, ''your
husband won't attend us as doctor, so
we sha'n't supply him with bread" and
they didn't. The doctor was forced to
deal with another and inferior BAKER,
rs similarly the baker had on the previ-
Gus day been forced to send for another
doctor.

bank in town in Dakota, and about
the 1st of February having secured

the doors were kicked in, the office gut

Now, then, my friend we give you

The depositors were paid in full, and

Dudes Compelled to Dance.

A story has just come to light in
Canton, Ga, which affords much
amusement to nativesNt the expense of
three Boston dudes, whose connection
with the opening of Georgia marble
quarry had taken them there. Their
names are John Shellman. Edward
Anthem, and Henry Rondeau. They
have had much amusement with noun
tain hoosiers, and delighted in showing
off their superior accomplishments.
While on the way to Tates Wednesday
they met two Misunderstanding coun-
try boys who, bare-footed and with but
one suspender over their shoulders, were
trudging to town. The B6stonians
stepped in front of them and ordered
them to dance to Massachusetts
juba.
When the mountaineers became satis-
fed that the Bostonians were in earnest
they pulled out two ugly-looking revolt
vers and changed the programme by
ordering the dudes to dance. Thinking
to humor the joke and thus escape
easily they danced awhile, but the boys
would not let them halt. For i've hours,
under cover of revolvers, the Boston
ians danced such a jig as has never be-
fore been seen. When the time was up
one of the mountainecrs exclaimed:
"Now, dang it. runp' The Bostonians
were only too glad to do so, and reach
ed town footsorc and weary. They
are now seeking legal redress.
