Gray squirrels do not hibernate, but
seldom leave their nests during the
very cold weather. On mild days In
winter, however. they come out and
race through the treetops and visit the
large stores OF nuts which they gath
cred and hid away In the autumn.
Red squirrels are smaller. but much
harder creatures than the gray ones,
and. although they, too have snug nests
of cedar bark In the hollow trees, they
use them only at night, for no weather
is SO severe as to keep these little fell
lows indoors. They are about the most
provident of all the creatures in the
woods, usually storing away under
brush heaps, beneath fallen logs and In
hollow trunks far more nuts than they
can possibly eat in one winter. They
do not put them all in one place, as a
rule; they generally have several boards
at some little distance apart This is
wise precaution, as 1t sometimes hap
pens that enc store is discovered and
stolen by an enemy, and unless there
was another supply to fall back upon
the squirrels might die OF starvation

An Old English Inn.

The Raven inn, an old hostelry at
Hook, near Basingstroke, England, was
built in 1858 and still retains It's quaint
old half timbered work, overhanging
gables and small windows. The house
gained wide notoriety in the latter
part of the eighteenth century during
the American war OF Independence
through being the residence and place
of capture of the famous Jack the
Painter" who reused the whole coun-
try in 1776 by his deliberate attempts
to fire drydocks and shipping. He sue
ceeded at Portsmouth, where $500. COO
damage was done; also at Bristol, but
was foiled at Plymouth. SO great was
the scare that in response to a reward
of $4,000 offered by the government
for his capture the whole country was
on the alert, and he was run to earth
anu captured in this interesting old
house and eventually hanged and glib
beted at Portsmouth. His real name
was James Aitken.

down to the end Of the fifteenth CEN
