Old citizens Of Toledo distinctly re-

grafton Of squirrels in this vicinity. On
a certain day gentleman was on tie
bank of the Ten-Mile Creek when the
number of squire Is moving was unusu-
ally large. Among the squirrels was ono
that exhibited such motherly care and af-
fection for her two little ones as to prove a
most interesting sight. She reached the
bank of the creek where crossing was to
be made. The little squirrels were quite
timid about going near to the water. but
the mother ooaxed 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 in the water so that
only a small part of one end of the bark
was resting ON the shore. She then in
duced her little ones to get on the bark
and they at once cuddled 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
ii ahead Of her until the opposite bank
was reached, where the young squirrels
quickly scampered up the bank Of the
creek, where the mother rested for few
minutes. when the journey was resumed.

valor Of the Goorkha in 1880 dismayed
even the Afghans themselves, they were
an equal terror to their English leaders
from the cruelties in which their native
ferocity and fierce religious hatred of
their Mussulman foes found constant
