Woodchoppers on DIR. Prices Lenape
farm report that squirrels are very
numerous among the trees. When the
choppers began last fab there were
several acres Of trees standing and tho
squirrels were not numerous, but as the
trees were cut, few at time, the
little animals were driven from one
place Of refuge to another until all were
gathered into small space, and the few
remaining trees are filed with them. A
man who had been working among
them says some of the hollow trees are
packed so full of squirrels that the tim
bers creak every time the animals draw
deep breath.
In the morning when the men go out
to work they are met at the railway
tracks by the knowing little animals,
which feel secure because the game
laws protect them at this season. A
gentleman who has seen them says that
they do not offer to carry the kettles of
the men, although they do not object to
sharing tbs oontents.-West Chester

PRICE ONE CENT -:


A very slight and polite criticism in
dulged in at the expense of cavalry Of
deer who was riding about a week ago
at the horse show has assumed the pro-
portions of a serious event. The officer
in question sent letter 10 the writer
saying that he could understand the
criticising the horsemanship of Jockeys
and grooms, but that he had no business
10 pass any remarks ON that of gentle
men or officers" He forbade tho Jour
nalist TO mention his nalae. and wound
up by adding that his sole right was
that OF the stronger and chat he would
prove 1t II the oifense were repeated.
The journalist in a second ~ agraph re-
marked that be did not think he had
acted improperly in criticising the per-
formances of horsemen who rode in n
public place TO which admission was OBJ
tanned by payment, and, referring TO the
letter, said he could not believe that 1t
had been penned by French officer.
and was convinced that IL was forgery.
Thereupon the cavalry officer sent two
Of his friends to the journalist with
hostile message, and in the duel that
followed he wounded him In the arm.
He thus proved that he was LIE plus
fort" But the affair is creating q great
sensation, the prevailing opinion being
that the argument employed by tho off,
Ger was, to say the least, utterly illogi-
cal-in fact, this unlucky episode has
brought once more on the tapis the
vexed question of the expediency of
military men displaying their prowess
ut races and horse shows.-Paris Cor.

finished her "take,' which proved to be

There were forty compositors In the

this particular young woman, -and the
suicide was her affianced sweetheart.
