His Rub Against Civilization Proved

In the gray squirrel colony near South
Bend, Ind. There exists q good .llustra-
ton of the survival of the latest" doc
trine. The squirrels are fed by the neigh
bors, and this makes their life a happy
one at this season of the year. Twenty
generations of squirrels have been raised
N the colony, and the continued domes-
ITCHY has deproved them of many Of their
wild traits.
Recently a lady in South Bend thought
Zip, her pet squirrel, was becoming too
much worried 10y close captivity, and de-
ctded to take him to the colony. When
first released he made strenuous efforts
to climb a tree. HIS claws had been so
much eulled ard his legs so weakened
by captivity that he could only ascend
four or five feet, and then would fall to
the grond.
The first day of his coming was an es-
peclally eventful one, for night fell with
out Zip having a nest to go to, and Mrs
Conklin was particularly disturbed over

out earlier N the morning, but, hard as
his experience was, Zip a had a taste

to catch him. and he growled and chat
tered in a way that would scare stran-
gers. Finally he was led by a little
trickery into the parlor of a cottage and
there penned up until he grew tired
enough to sleep,and making a warm nest
of a young lady's winter Jacket he got
through the night in a manner that
was comfortable enough. The next day
he showed an ~indisposition to resume his
woodland researches, and he remained in
his nest, greeting every one who came
near him with a display OF bad temper.
He stayed in his nest all that day and

experiences with them, however, taught
him better, and he now runs away from

the association on January "a, 1889, was
s61S. IA. Callahan withdrew the entire

viction, characterized the ae-
ton as 'the most b~arefaced, -mpudent
and intolerable outrage OF a body of
hard w-orkingmen he ever heard Of"

fence was not indictable. as had been de-
cided many times in America and Eng
land, and asked hat the case be thrown

thai it did not contain the names o.
these members. After much argameni
on both sides, Judge Hudspsth ordered
the Indictment amended so as to inelude
