HEDGEHOGS AND MICE IN A
 MAINE CAMP.

MAI IN El CAMP.
 Frank Brown, of Brewer, Me, is a policeman who goes on duty when the sawmills start up in the spring, and who wears his blue uniform until about Christmas time, after which he puts on moccasins and red leggins, and passes a good part of the winter in his camp among the hills of Dedham.
 He has entertained lot of company during the past winter. Chickadees, bluejays and nuthatches have been in and about his camp all winter.
 A pair of white hares have lived be- low the floor, just under the stove. Aided by artificial heat they have paid no heed to the cold weather and in ad- dition to getting their own living they have raised a promising family of six fuzzy youngsters.
 A pair of flying squirrls and three red squirrels have grown so tame that they romp about the camp like kittens.
 When Brown goes home Saturday afternoon, he leaves the camp door open so the hedgehogs may come in and wash up the floor. As large part of camp bill-of-fare is made up of baked beans, pork, and other meats rich in fats, and as men are not over neat as housekeep- CTS, considerable grease gets spilled about the floor during the week. An average hedgehog will risk his chances of salvation for a bit of fat.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1900-05-03

] So, as soon as the camp is empty, the spined gluttons come in and plane the surface of the floors with their chisel- shaped teeth, eating away all the wood that holds trace of grease. On reach 1 ing camp Monday morning, Brown sweeps up, and enjoys the luxury of & clean house.
 The only objection that can be urged against the hedgehog's system of house. cleaning is that the camp has to have a new floor as often as once year. Late In February pair of beautiful whte-footed wood mice stole into camp from their home in the forest, and made nest in a corner under Browns bunk
 The first thing they did was to eat hole in the bag of cracked corn and carry away more than quart. The whole bag was sorted for the largest fragments, every one of which was de- nuded of it's peeling and freed from all grains of meal.
 This was put in a heap near the nest and covered over with strips of news paper. After the mice had been living in their new quarters about a week.
 they started in to construct a luxurious couch. The outside was made of shred ed newspapers and ribbons of birch bark. For lining, the mice used horse- hair, taken from the hovel
 One night, after Brown had put out his lantern and gone to sleep, he was awakened by feeling something tugging at the hair above his ear. A small anil maj put it's little clawed forefeet against Browns temple, and taking wisp of hair in it's mouth pulled and gnawed with vigor, until the hair was bitten off. when the creature ran away, returning for more after few minutes absence.
 After sl few trips had been made Brown slid bis hand up between his ear and caught the thief. On lighting match he found his prisoner was one of the white-footed mice.
 "They are cunning little cusses," said Brown, but I guess they'll have to take a few more lessons before they make good barbers. ''-Boston Globe.

MUSTERED OUT.


 'The necrology of the department is a subject which is a solemn one to us, all of whom have passed the zenith of life Our comrades are dropping off in ! "twos,' "fours," and squads The time is not far distant when the surviving guard will be but small, and when the final roll-call will be sounded and the last of us must answer. Who then will continue the work which we shall have carried on for so many years, perhaps a half century, but hardly that? Those younger than we must take it up, if it is to be continued. Should the Wo- mans Reliel Corps oI the Sons of Vete- rams perpetuate their organization, our memories shall be safe in their hands, otherwise it is hard to conjecture.

BOYS SAW DOUBLE.
Complained to Police of Frightfully
Savage Tramps.

Several residents of South Topeka COM
planned to the police yesterday that there
was a gang of tramps in the woods near
the Shunganunga who were terrorizing
that community. They told the police
that the tramps had a big revolver with
which they threatened the small boys and
made them dance. They also reported
that the "hoboes'' carried a large dirk
big roll of money. This was all vouched
who said they were afraid to go near
the woods.
Three officers went there about 5 o'clock
in the afternoon and after searching for
an hour through the vine-grOwn timber
and weed patches, found two tramps who
answered exactly the description given by
the men. Instead of being the blood
thirsty wretches that had been described
to the police they were two mighty poor
specimens of the genus hobo. One of
them was sick and the other was taking
care of him. The grip contained nothing
but dirty clothes. and the large dirk knife
proved to be a small clasp knife They
had been living on what they could beg
in the neighborhood supplemented with
roasting ears and potatoes taken from a
nearby field. They gave a good account
of themselves and said they were on the
road to Texas, but stopped here because
the one was taken sick.
The officers gave them until tonight to
get out of town. The incident shows how
reports to the police are exaggerated,
causing similar unnecessary trips almost
daily.

COVERS UNNECESSARY.
Superintendent Nelson's Ruling
For Exchange of Text Books.

State Superintendent Frank Nelson has
made important ruling with reference
to. the exchange of school books. The su-
perintendent says:
1T is provided that books now in use
shall be exchanged for new books at not
more than so per cent. of the maximum
prices at which the books were adopted.
Provision is also made that counties op-
Grating under the uniformity contract
shall shall at the expiration of that con-
tract be entitled to the exchange privilege.
II am informed that the firms having
these contracts tried to establish rule
that books to be exchanged must have
covers and all leaves intact. Upon some
of the counties resisting this arrangement
the firms receded from the position and
agreed to accept any books which had
been used in the school for the past year
Certainly any county whose uniformity
contract has expired is entitled to the
same privileges as counties coming under
the state uniformity upon the passa ge of
the law. 1t seems to me that the people
should receive the benefit of these priv
ieges.
This letter was written to J. B. Cox. of
Garnett. who raised the questions an
sWered therein.
