When about six weeks old the little fellows
begin to crawl out of the nest to play like
kittens, but more gently, and to nibbe the
crumbs OF partly eaten nuts cut into by the
sharp teeth of the mother.
And what lovely little mother she is!
She takes the greatest care of them from
the time they were born. She tucks them
under her, pulls the cedar bark over them
and blocks up the entrance on cold days TO
keep them warm. If you put your finger
into the hole she will rake all the babies
out of harms way with her front paws
and then with her nose she will make a de-
termined effort to push your finger out of
the hole again. Failing in that, she will
not bite you, as red squirrel would have
done at the beginning. but she will probably
take your finger gently in her teeth, as
though to ask you please to be a gentleman
and refrain from causing her any further
annoyance.
Even If you remove the young ones from
the nest she will not bite you. but she will
come out after them at once in evident dis

hole. so that she can reach them without
leaving the nest entirely, she puts out her
head, seizes the youngsters by the neck or

the nest altogether she picks the children
up, turns around and pushes them into the

A short time ago a Stamford gentleman

through his grounds, and on the bank of
the river grew a tree with a decayed branch
upon it. Wishing to have the branch re-

the end of the branch there was a small

The list printed below will be found pretty

that new and young men be selected for

nominations for Congress. His advice TO
leaders was apparently given for publica-

Political situation In the State.
Chairman Odell and his associates in the
management of the republican state cam
paign have taken stock of the situation
throughout the state, and while they find
it very satisfactory, they are to increase
their efforts to pile up a big majority for
Mckinley and Roosevelt There have been
no fuss and feathers and no brass-band
methods about the work that mas Deen
done, but reports from all sections show
that the party was never so well organized
seven weeks before an election as 1t Is at
the present time. There are no divisions or
factional quarrels anywhere that are Sc
rious enough to affect the general result or
to cause the loss of single member of the
legislature. In few days the republican
campaign managers will have fully 300
speakers at work in the state. Meetings are
to be held every night in the cities and
larger towns, and there is to be plenty OF
active campaign work among the farmers.
The paramount issues that have been ad-
vanced by the democrats have attracted
very little attention anywhere, and the
campaign will be fought out on the issues
of sound money and prosperity. Reports
from all sections of the state show that
men who have plenty in the savings banks
are just as much opposed to Bryan and his
financial theories they were in 1896. The
democratic state ticket has not been well
received up the state, and the republican
campaigners everywhere are taking advan-
tage of the fact. Chairman Odell is going
to keep his forces hard at work until cleo
tion day, no matter how bright the outlook
may be. He is planning to roll up big
majority for Mckinley and Roosevelt and
elect a good working majority in both
branches of the legisla ture.
