GRAY SQUIRRELS.
They VIII Eat Meat and Have Been
Known to Rob Birds Nests.

UhGY WIFI hht hNat "HN@
Known to Rob Birds Nests.
n has been well said that the gray
sou;rrels one sees everywhere IN some
Of our New England towns are an In
dication Of a higher civilization. IL ,s
certainly a pleasure to see these grace
full creatures running across troiley
tracks or over lawns unmolested. A
stranger would have a very high est
mate Of the people of city that could
draw to 1t these shy animals. Like
many rodents, however, gray squirrels
will eat meat on occasions. They VIII
even rob birds nests. A friend on
whom l can rely told me Of two or
three instances in Arlington, Mass
where gray squirrels had robbed rob-
ms nests, having been caught IN the
very act.
One winter day, in going along Wild
mountain stream, was attracted by
fresh gray squirrel track. and on fol-
lowing 1t found where the squirrel had
killed and eaten mouse. He had EVIL
IDENTIFY dug out the mouse, for | saw
where he had dug snow and leaves
away from the roots Of some black
alders to some depth. Then, taking
the mouse in his teeth, he had run
few feet to q knoll. the mouse's tail
having left its print in the snow be-
tween the tracks Of the squirrel, and
eaten 1t, leaving blood. hair and pieces
OF bone to tell Of the feast.
One time l gave young woodchuck
to an old Irishwoman, who fed the
chuck on ham. Now. II woodchuck
would eat ham, why not gray SOUR
rel eat mice or young birds? We have
abundant proof that many flesh eaters
will, on occasions, eat vegetable food
as well as rodents eating flesh. Lovers
Of both squirrels and birds may find II
possible to protect IN some way the
nests Of thrushes. warblers, etc.-John
Burroughs in Outing.

A New York senator relates that he
was riding in car next to a motherly

very deaf. He repeated his answer In

Trying on ancient armor Is not al

helmet and put it on his own head TO
Judge the effect. Unfortunately he
touched spring, the visor shut down
suddenly, and, being alone in the STU

medieval head covering without help.
At last he ran into the street. where
his appearance created considerable

Collector Hall is Making up a

According TO the returns from
Collector Halls Office. number of

came known that Assistant Superin-
tendent Hard imam is shutting off the

Local Musical Union Declare
they Can Furnish as Good
as any Others.
fine FOR UNION PLAYERS
If an Out of Town Orchestra Comes With
Less Than Five Pieces and 1t is a Union
Organization it Can be Fined $40 for
Each MaE-Union Recently Organized
in this City.

The recently formed musical union,
of this city, is waging mild crusade
against the musicians who come from
other cities to play ut dances and o H.
tertainments here. The local men
claim to have made arrangements
whereby any out-of-town orchestra
which plays with less than three
men, in any one of four or five specied
halls in this city, can be fined $40 for
each musician. Thus, three-man
orchestra would be fined in all $50.
While tho agitators cannot prevent
the oat of-town orchestra from play
ing with less than five pieces, they
can report their offense to the men
higher up, and the offending fedora
tionists will be fined. Three fines
imposed on any one musician means
his expulsion from tho union.
One of the leaders IN the local
branch said this morning: "Why
should not we be given an equal
chance with musicians in other cities /?
We are, most of US, taxpayers here,
and we will agree to furnish as good
music as the out-of-town parties. If
the persons in charge of dance or
entertainment feel that they can
afford to have but three pieces, let
thom submit the matter to our board
of arbitration which will be prefectly
fair ana may, if the circumstances
warrant, stretch few points in their
favor. But the -ules Of the federation,
to which all tho union musicians be-
long, must to be needed, and all
offenders will be punished.
AS there never was union branch
i'll this city until few months ago,
this question has never before been
raised. The agitators appear deter
mined, however, and say that they
will carry the day.
