BRER 'POSSUM.
HIS TRICKS. AND SOME OTHERS.

WILD LIFE z;,, NEAR FAR. HOME By Dallas 1o Lore
sharp. with iuustraI!onso by BRUCE HorsfalI
Octave pp xvi, 357. CTke Century Company
Mr.. Sharp holsters up the time honored repu-
tation of the 'possum for sagacity and craft, a
reputation which has been attacked of late by
certain materialistic investigators, who have de-
clared that the possum does not play pos
sum- but really faints away when suddenly en-
countered, and consequently is not to be cred
tied with the least strategical ability. To con-
trovert these investigators Mr. Sharp refers to
the following entry in his diary:
'PossUM FAINT
Cause.-My sudden appearance before the pa
tient.
Symptoms.-A backing away. with open
mouth and unpleasant hisses until forcibly
stopped, when the patient falls side limp
and helpless. long, unearthly smile overspread-
ing the face; the off eye closed the near eye
just ajar; muscular twitching, but most de-
cided attempts to get up and run as soon as my
back is turned
Treatment-My non-interference
Note.-Recovery instantaneous with my re-
moval ten feet. This whole performance repeat
ed twelve times in many minutes
Many Of us have wondered. no doubt how our
non-m migratory birds manage to live through our
bitter winters, and Mr.. Sharp has taken the
trouble to find out. The life OF the fields and
hills at night, too. he has studied, and now
portrays. But most interesting of ALL because
most novel, is his study in bird morals" in the
feathered creation has Decalogue of its own,
disregard of which brings a sure and heavy
penalty Then there is an Illuminating account
OF the seemingly purposeess rabbit roads that
everybody has noticed who has had occasion to
roam our suburban fields. They all mean some
thing to the rabbit and he makes them tell for
his safety when his inveterate foes are in pur-
suit The rabbit is identified in most minds with
timidity, but Mr.. Sharp tells story to prove
that she rabbit is as bold in the defence Of her
young as any animal that breathes. The rabbit
started hostilities with a cat that desired her
offspring for dinner The observer says:
The cat was scared, and before he got himself
together, Molly with a mighty bound, was in
the air again. and, she flashed over him, she
fetched him stunning whack on the head that
instant, but just in time to receive a stinging
blow on the that sent him sprawling several
feet down the hill. The rabbit seemed con-
stantly in the air Back and FORTH over and
over the cat she flew. and with every bound
landed a terrific kick with her powerful hind
feet, that was followed by a puff Of yellow fur.
This sort of fighting was new to the cat, and
ne hed as soon as he could and Molys babies
We're safe That Mr.. Sharp's studies
rled on In the country that lies at our doors and
deal with the wild creatures that we know
best only adds to their interest They are likely
TO tend to open the eyes of the reader. when
next he strolls countryward to things unseen
before.
