SQUIRRELS PLANT TREES.
Acorns stored in tho Ground fer
Winter Arc Sometimes FOrgot-
ten and Sprout.


Has it ever occurred to you who are
the real gardeners of the forests?"
asked an old friend of the Central para
squirrels, according to the New York
Times. "I never heard a theory pro-
pounded that animals plant trees, but
from what have observed during ten
years of friendship with the park squir-
rels 1 am satisfied they, and not the
acorn, are father to the oak.
whether a squirrel plants trees inn
PEELED by instinct am not prepared to
say. Their industry may be explained
by less far-fetched theory. Observe
any squirrel during nutting time and
see how busy he is laying in stock of
provisions for winter. Bushels and
bushels of acorns and nuts are gath
cred by the little fellows and stored in
the hollows of trees and in other ac-
cessible nooks. When these are filled
the squirrel buries his treasures in the
ground. Busily, like streak of gray
lightning, he whisks about under oaks
picking acorns and burying them in the
ground in thousand and one spots.
From sunrise to sunset he and his
mates are busy storing away the pre-
cious winter supply.
"The buried nuts are the first con-
sumed by the wise little animal, who
knows a time will come soon when the
ground will be frozen hard and COW
cred with snow, after which the supply
tucked away in tree hollows must be
depended upon. Doubtless many of
A.. l,,4 I, ,N1o +ar
are forgotten. Others are covered un-
der snow before he has a chance, to dig
them out. In either case, an acorn has
been planted as delicately as if by hand
of man, and only the thaw of the
ground and the warm spring sunshine
are needed to coax forth the oak.
"What takes place here in the park
doubtless happens in woods and for
ests all over the globe. Frequently,
gardening experts say, young nut trees
are found peeping out of the ground
in early spring too far from any parent
tree to account for wind having borne
the heavy kernel on its wings. Sim
ilarly, exterminate the squirrels in any
section of woods and the tree planting
practically ceases. 1t is a well-known
fact that seeds of plants frequently be-
come lodged in the furs of wild animals
only to be shaken off and to take root
at some point far distant. But the
planter-squirrel, think, 1 discovered
myself
"It is a wonderful thing when you
come to consider what part the tiny,
bushy tailed animals have playedin the
history of our country. Perhaps the
majestic ships that plow the seas
maybe even the old, famous men-of-
war owe their existence primarily to
the little paws of the soft-furred, soft
eyed little animals.

The ProbIem. Of the Day.

A writer in the Thresherman gives
the following bit of wholesome ad-
vice: watch your way, then, as a
cautious traveller, and don't be gaz-
ing at the mountain or river in the
distance, and saying: How shall L
ever get over them?' but keep to
the present little inch that is before
you, and accomplish that in the little
moment that belongs to you. The
mountain and the river can only be
passed in the same way; and, when
you come to them, you will come
to the light and strength that be-
longs to them" The more complete
ly we lend our energies to present
duties the better will they be per-
formed and the better will we be pre-
pared to meet those that may arise
in the future.

days. 1t is situated 80 miles above Nor
folk and Newport News, on the James
river. and is about 20 miles below Rich
mond. Old inhabitants say that it has
shrunken within a generation, but that
it has now an area of ZOO acres. 1t is
two and a half miles long, and only lit
tie more than half a mile in width.
From the main shore it is separated by
a narrow stream and some marshy low
land, over which there is low wooden
bridge The whole place looks "old-
timey."
The island is as barren of civilization
as Palmyra of the desert, and the only
evidences of it's former teeming habi-
tation are the walls of the Amber
mansion house, and the pitiful piece of
tower of the first Protestant church
built of brick in the new world. These
objects of interest were pointed out by
a Young colored woman from the
mainland, who also directed the trav-
eler TO the screened little acreage sur
rounding the relics of the church and
the long neglected cemetery. There
are no pictures of these interesting OBJ
iects. but the tower is like any ordi-
nary old tower, and the mansion
remains are composed of the small
bricks imported in those early days;
about half of the size of modern bricks.
The mansion is said to have been built
with bricks which were formerly used
in official and ancient structures. Ira
dition has it that in this old mansion
there resided a woman who declined
the honor of marriage with George
Washington.
If this be true she must have almost
hated herself afterwards when George
became "first in war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen."
There is an association of ladies
known as an association For the Pre-
servation of Virginia Antiquities, ~
and 1t is this association which has sur
rounded these sole relics with wire
fences and thick wire screens. These
ladies took this step only six years
ago; rather late in the day for the pre-
servation of these antiquities, for hogs,
wild and tame, and other cattle have
browSed about the tower and the walls
and over the graves of the cemetery for
many, many years.
The ladies employ a custodian, but
he was not on duty when the narrator
called. He is said to reside in little
shanty there which is surrounded by
heavy earthworks thrown up 40 odd
years ago by confederate soldiers. BY
his absence he lost one fee of ter cents
which he is allowed to charge as part
of his compensation for living there in
the midst of squalor, dirt, malaria and
musty "reminiscences.

of their state" says Senator
Daniels. "There are some paragraphs
in some of the chapters which are not
whole we are proud of every chapter
in our history"
The occasion calling forth the re-
mark is the fact that Virginia is grow
ing old, and has a history of almost 300
years. On the 25th of May will occur
the anniversary of the landing of Capt.
John Smith and his fellow-free hooters
upon the soil of Virginia, and the be-
ginning of the permanent establish
ment of the first white colony in this
republic of ours.
On May 25, 1907, now 206 years agone,
jamestown island was occupied and
preparations begun for town building.
This was 13 years before the landing
of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, so there
can be no doubt that this was the first
permanent white settlement upon the
land which now constitutes the United
States of America.
There are upwards of $4,000 Virgin
ians residing in the national capital,
making their livings as federal office
holders. That is to say, that some 1900
office-holders from Virginia support a
colony of $4,000 people, all of them in
tensely loyal to their state, and proud
of their lineage. Some 90 years ago
there began an annual exodus from
Washington to jamestown TO eele brate
the anniversary; and there will be no
hiatus in this procedure. The pilgrim
ages will begin two days before the an
niversary, tens of thousands of Virgin
ians will visit jamestown, but the prin-
cipal celebration this year will be in
Richmond.
In order to describe this ancient To-
cality the writer went to jamestown
island, the trip occupying only tive

fort to him in the commodious log
wigwam.
But for the removal of the capital
to Williamsburg there might lrave
been a great educational institution
at jamestown, because Parson Blair,
the Scotchman from the University
of Edinburgh who founded William
and Mary college, was assigned to
the parish at jamestown in the new
brick church, just before the trans
fer of the capital. He had for
short time been pastor of the parish
of Varina, where Pocahontas was
one of his parishioners. She was the
wife of John Rolfe, an extensive to-
bacco planter, and was known as Re-
becca Rolfe; quite English, you know,
as compared with her aboriginal
name when she hurried into history
by her rush to the rescue of Capt.
John Smith. Parson Blair often said
that if he had remained at James,
town he would have founded the coll
lege there-an institution which has
endured until this day, and will ever
endure.
The celebrated educational institu-
tion was originally built of bricks
made on jamestown island. They
were made in the style of the i'm
ported bricks, but were not import
ed; neither were those which were
used in the church at jamestown.
Parts of the ancient structure remain
in good state of preservation, and the
old church at jamestown would still
remain intact, if civilization had not
deserted it.
! The ladies' association for the pres
ervation of Virginia antiquities re-
Gently held an important meeting, at
the Virginia legislature to make APP
preparations to aid them in their
work. They hope also to induce the
Virginia senators and representatives
to interest the congreAs. so that suf-
ficient appropriations may be OBJ
tanned to save from complete ruin
this relic-remnant of the original set
tlement of the soil of the United
States by the Anglo-Saxon frecboot-
ers; the aggressive ancestry of
which we are all so proud; an az
cestry of lGl Dorado-seeking maraud
ers who plunged halfway across this
continent and blazed their pathway
with the blood of innocent aborig-
ines.
But they had their good points;
and, anyway, they made history
wa:G... it might be wen to preserve,
even IN relic form.
