UNEXPECTED PROTESTS


1t was Mrs. Craigie, OF the old Graf

would not be so cruel to her fellow
worms as to tar her trees against cat
erpillars. Recent destroyers Of the
brown-tail moth have scarcely been
trcrbled by such extremes of msrciful-
ness as this; but they receive soma
queer protests.

She was not the only person to
whom their occupation looked alarm

appeal:

afraid Of itches, but my daughter his

good humor, and his bolsterous laugh
can be heard sounding far over ice and

ries is short and abrupt, but comlcal
features are strongly emphasized. His
stories consist generally of his own
adventures, old legends about fights
with neighbors and wild animals,
about severe winters and great fam

considered highly creditable to be able

regards beauty solely from the stand
