THE CRIMINAL SQUIRREL.

of the squirrel He is a thief and a murderer
Admired by ignorant city people and by jour
naIists he devotes his life to eating the eggs
and killing the young of harmless and UseiuI
birds which, if permitted to live and increase
would protect the forests from harmful insects
By killing these birds the squirrel takes rank
as a forest destroyer. Moreover, the red spur
rel is not the only sinner. In MY opinion the
gray is almost, if not quite, as bad

act of eating eggs young birds. Any bro
that selects a nesting place which is also
adapted to the use of squirrels is almost certain

by fires, lumbermen or insects. it is almost i'm
possible for natural reforesting to take place
if squirrels are abundant in adjoining tract.
because they eat the seeds. Fifty seeds per heai
each day would be a low estimate. Yet even
this would make 1880 in year. And seeds
not the only thing. In winter the ground Is
often streWn with twigs that have been stripped
of buds by squirrels The trees attacked are
generally situated at the border of dense
forest, and would if left alone, yield the great

THE BEGGAR TRUST.

Several years ago a one-legged youth named
Kempton, who had left n comfortable home 10
engage deliberately in begging conceived the
idea of organizing a community OF interest
among pan-handlers in the Park Row district
He picked out strategic spots throughout the
city and selected man to beg in each. These
men were always particularly well adapted to
their posts, a blink (bnd MANI here, crust
thrower there, a MANNED youth somewhere else.
In order that the beggars might not be molested
by the police, lookout was appointed for each.
and in order that the syndiCates interests might
be conserved, Kempton employed roundsmen to
observe how faithfully the beggars attended to
business, and to collect hourly the earnings OF
each. In case of arrest. each member of the
band was assured of legal representation. to be
paid for out of the earnings Of the pool
The scheme thrived for many months, and at
one time there were thirty men in the comblna-
ton, which became close corporation of profit
and power. There is no knowing to what extent
it might have expanded, nor how influential it
might have become at last, had not the nature
of the organization given it undue prominence,
and caused it to fall directly under the ban of
the mendicant squad. One by one the members
were captured and sent to the Island and in
the end the gang broken up.-CTheodore
Waters in Everybody's Magazine.
