 A FINE PET-The Phoenix firemen ] have acquired new pet, the gift of A.. J. Hansen of Kyrene. It is a badger raised from infancy on MT. Hansen's ranch at Kyrene and is as tame as T kitten and more playful than either a cat or dog. It has dug itself d home several feet under ground near the en- zine house. but comes out frequently to play with the boys. MT. Hansen says the badger was the most effective re- medy he had on the ranch for the ex- l termination of mice, gophers and other pests of that sort, but it also has a
 weakness for spring chicken that made 1t an expensive piece of property. His Echildren thought as much of it as any
 child ever did of dog, but after 15O
 spring chickens had disappeared he | thought it was time for the badger to I be deported.
