About the New Macy's.

We are now entering upon our third year in
this new buildng-the largest retail store under
one roof in the world.
Since removing from our old location we have
perfected our store organization in keeping with
the great and modernly appointed building that
houses it.
The remarkable work accomplished in two
years in upbuilding the new Mays is best illus
trated by the new stocks. There are better
assortments of the old lines of staples and neces-
saries and UNSURPASSED lines of highest
class merchandise, both imported and domestic.

WHEN a SQUIRREL FALLS.
Fills It's Lungs and Bounces Like a
Rubber Bah.

F4EF.GEE Aal-.TL
speaking of squirrels, did yon
ever see one fall out of the top of
a hickory nut tree?" asked the old
hunter of a New Orleans Times
Democrat reporter. .Well, if yol
haven't you have missed q sight
worth seeing. The rubber ball is
not in it when it comes to bounc.
ing. i have seen squirrels bounce
four or five feet where they
hit the ground after q long
fall, and it was not necessary
for the ground to be in q
particularly favorable condition
at that. The squirrel is just
simply a good bouncer. OF course
these falls are altogether acct
dental. Generally 1t requires
something to startle the squirrel,
something to throw the animal
off its balance. Frequently the
cracking Of leaves under the hunt
er's feet, or the sudden swapping
of a dry limb, OF something Of
that kind. Sometimes q quick and
unexpected report Of a gun in the
neighborhood will cause the
squirrels foot to slip, if l may
say it, and he will 60 whirling
through the air 20 the ground.
But all this is not the point l have
in mind. In some way during the
fall the squirrel manages to pump
its lungs full Of wind, and when
| the animal hits the ground he is
rolled up in the shape Of a ball,
and will rebound as if made Of
: rubber. How does the squirrel
manage to gather the wind dur.
ing.the fall? What kind of lungs
must a squirrel have in order to
accommodate the necessary
amount of air to enable. him to
rebound? And how does he sue
coed in regaining his balance af
ter rebounding! He always lights
on his feet, and hits the ground
running the second time. 1t is 8
curious thing, and l have offer
wondered how these interesting
creatures manage to work the
plan SO successfully without in
jury to themselves"
