Tho burrows Of the little striped
prairie squirrel are very numerous on
the prairics Of Western Kansas. and
quite common on the prairies of East
err Kansas. But the home of the
gray ground squirrel is usually in or
near grain field. In the grain fields
of Eastern Kansas II is not unusual to
sen gray ground squirrel. but he is a
much shyer creature than the striped
prairie squirrel. He often digs his
burrow underneath corn-shock be-
cause of the convenience of obtaining
and transporting the quantity OF
shcllcd corn which he wishes to store
away. The striped prairie squirrel
stores away grass seed and grain and
in Eastern Kansas. where they are
plentiful. he also stores away quanti-
ties of the Indian coral berry or buck
berry.-Outdoor Life.

Mr.. Roberts writes in part:
THE port Of Funchal is a well pro-

deira has a population Of 10000. almost
altogether of Portuguese extraction. with
few English and Scotch engaged in
business.
'The first thing that strikes the Wis
itor is the quaintness of everything. The
primitive dress of the people, the orig
inal character of the stores, the barefooted
mendicants in queer bullock caros, and
the narrow streets with their amazingly
wrought pavements Of rounded cobble-
stones over which in different kinds of
bullock vehicles slide quite evenly.
'Of course we took caro- ride. A caro-
is a double-seated carriage, very comfort

pair of smart small oxen. The caro- driver
will take you about at the rate Of so cents
