The Industrious Squirrel.

n. Y. Sun.
A Danbury farmer points to the
squirrel as atfOrding an Instance of
agility, quickness, and hard work.
Last fall he stored several bushels of
butternuts in the second story of his
corn house, and recently he noticed
that they were disappearing much
faster than the legitimate demands
for his family supply warranted. He
discovered soon afterward that a
squirrel, a small red one, which the
farmers boys call "chipmunks," had
found a hole under the caves Of the
building, and was stocking her store
house with the nuts the farmer had
gathered. AS an experiment to
learn how rapidly the squirrel had
worked, he removed all but twenty
of the nuts and set a watch upon
them. Six hours afterward every
nut was gone. The distance from
the corn house to the tree where the
squirrel had its nest was just eighty
rods. In going for a nut and re-
turning with it the sprightly little
animal had to travel q distance of 16C
rods. Computation showed that the
theft of the twenty nuts required
just ten miles of travel. But this
did not include all. Several times
dogs frightened the squirrel, and il
ha d to turn back, and twice the
family cat got after it, requiring it tc
take a circuitous route to reach the
storehouse. The nest was examined
soon afterward, and a big, fat, lazy
male squirrel was found snoozins
quietly while his little mate was per
forming a prodigious feat to supply
him with food.

A Farmer Who Robbed His Boy.

Last spring a farmer found in his
flock lamb which the mother would
not own. He gave it to his son, a
boy fifteen years old, who saved it
and raised it. The boy called it his
all summer, all the family called it
his, and it was his. But this fall,
when the father sold the other lambs,
he let this one 60 with them, and
taking the pay for it tucked it into
his big wallet and carried it off to
pay taxes or put in the bank.
Now this farmer did not intend to
do anything wrong. Least of all did
he intend to wrong his boy. Proba-
by he did not give the matter much
thought anyway; and if he did he
considered the boys ownership of
the lamb sort of pleasing fiction, or
reasoned that the boy, having all
his needs supplied out of the family
purse, did not need the pay for the
lamb, and it was better to put it into
the common fund. But for all that,
taking the lamb and selling it in that
way, and pocketing the proceeds, was
stealing. No, it was~robbery; and, as
between this boy and his father, one
of the meanest robberies that could
be perpetrated.
Not only this, but by robbing the
boy of that two dollars the farmer
did more to make the boy discomfort
ed and drive him away from home
than he can undo with ten times
that amount. A boy is little man,
and if he has got any of the gather
and grip to him which will make a
successful man of him when he
grows up, he begins at an early age
to feel that desire to own something
and to add to the property subject to
his ownership, which is at once the
incentive to effective work and the
motive which reconciles men to
theircondition.
No matter how well the boys
wants are provided for from fund
which is common to the whole fam
lily, he takes no particular interest in
adding to that fund because he does
not feel that it is his, and he tires OF
labor and thought, the proceeds of
which he must share with several
others; but give him piece of prop
erty of his own, to manage as he
pleases, to keep or sell or change, and
let him feel that his ownership is Sc
cure and that his loss or gain de-
ponds upon his own endeavors, and
he will work cheerfully and content
eddy.

Washington at His Inauguration.

From profusely illustrated series
of articles on the Centennial of Inau-
guration in the April Century we
quote the following: "Washington
was dressed in full suit of dark
brown cloth manufactured in Hart
ford, with metal buttons with an
eagle on them, and with a steel-hilt-
ed dress sword, white silk stockings,
and plain silver shoe-buckles. His
hair was dressed and powdered in
the fashion of the day and worn in a
bag and SOLITAIRE Chancellor Robert
r. Livingston, one Of the committee
Of five to draft the Declaration of In
dependence, thirteen years before,
was dressed in full suit of black
Cloth and wore the robe of office.
Just before the oath was to be adj
ministered it was iScOvered
that there was no Bible in Fed
eral Hall. Luckily Livingston, a
Grand Master Of Free Masons, knew
that there was one at st. Johns Lodge
in the City Assembly Rooms near by,
and messenger was dispatched to
borrow the Bible, whichiis today the
property of st. Johns Lodge No. l.,
the third eldest lodge in the United
States.
Secretary Otis of the Senate held
before him a red velvet cushion, upon
which rested the open Bible Of st.
Johns Lodge. You do soIemnly
swear said Livingston, that you
will faithfully execute the Office of
President of the United States, and
will to the best of your ability, pre-
serve, protect, and defend the Consti-
ton of the United States Il do SOL
emily swear, replied Washington,
that l will faithfully execute the
Office of President of the United
States, and will, to the best of my
ability preserve, protect, and defend
the Constitution of the United States.
He then bowed his head and kissed
the sacred Book, and with the deep
est feeling uttered the words, so help
me Godn The Chancellor then pro-
claimed, Long live George Washing
ton, President Of the United States ?
The instant discharge of thirteen
cannon followed, and with loud re-
peated shouts and huzzas the people
cried, God bless our Washington ;
long live our beloved President ?
The President bowed to the people,
and the air again rang with acclama-
tons. Washington, followed by the
company at the balcony, now re-
turned to the Senate Chamber, where
he took his seat and the senators and
representatives their seats. When
Washington arose to speak all stood
and listened with eager and marked
attention.
"After delivering his address, the
President, accompanied by the Vice
President, the Speaker, the two
houses of Congress, and all who at
tended the Inauguration ceremony,
proceeded Oh foot to st. Paul's
Church. The same order was pre-
served as in the procession from the
Presidents house to Federal Hall.
The military made good figure as
they lined the street near the church.
