The animals have been well taken care of, fed regularly, suitable cage has been | provided for them .n the rear of their [ owners business establishment. and | they are fully half grown and very beautiful. It is interesting to watch them when they are in a playful mood. | They leap and jump from one end of the cage to the other. bounding from place to place. embracing. scratching and biting each other in their playful pastime. A few days ago. John Milsap. who works at a sawmill on the Graham mountains, made the firm present of | oi, x,,li t.,r ,,f.l .lh n, imal curiosities of Arizona.

 Ing was known, even by the men who
 are engaged in the work of construc-
