from going to school that he might &C

Of the chipmunk. For five years his
health was impaired to such degree that
he was not well enough to safely attend
school, but Just barely robust enough tC
drag himself away to distance OF IA
miles, where he could snare suckers and
try to regain his health. To climb a
lightning rod and skin off the copper
wire for sharing purposes with him was
but the work OF a moment. To go ioyOusly
afeld day after day and drown out the
gopher, while other days were compel ed
to gopher an education, was his chief de.
light.
As a result of this course he is not a
close student of books, but he can skin g
squirrel without the slightest embarrass
ment, and you could wake him up sud

method is Tor draping a frog over a pick

most pleasing effects. Such is the
description of man who, by his owr

proud position of earth stopper on my

however, and says he has never preserved

be best to sprinkle our fox with camphol
