TRAITS OF GRAY SQUIRRELS.
Migrate in Armies, Losing Thousands
on the Way.

early writers tell OF wonderful mi
grafton of American gray SQUIRRELS,
which must have arisen from the rapid
increase and consequent overcrowd-
ing OF locality. Thousands of this
species would start off in a regular
army, all moving in the same direc-
tion and with considerable rapidity.
allowing nothing to stop their onward
march. Although these little animals
have an extreme aversion to water
and do not excel as swimmers. vet.
whenever a watercourse, no matter
what width, barred their progress,
they would not hesitate for an in
stant, but plunge in and struggle des-
perately for the opposite shore, seiz.
ing upon anything in the way of float
ing sticks or chips to assist them in
the passage.

reach any destination, but gradually
their numbers would decrease by
death from drowning and other hard.
ships, until the band faded entirely
away.
Gray squirrels, generally four in a
nest, are born in March or early in
April. They never venture forth from
the nest during the first month and
are attended alone by the mother. She
takes this task upon herself from
choice and does not allow another
squirrel, even her own mate, to ap-
proach the nest.~

Tillaue,

Tillage of soil always improves it.
and the more tillage is given the
greater is the quantity of plant food
that is set loose. This reduces the
soil to a fine state and lets in the air
to all parts of the soil. In a soil so
treated roots ramify greatly and cas-
lily collect vast quantities of food. The
resultant growth is often remarkable.

STRIKERS MOB
v AEON DRIVERS

8 CHICAGO, April S.-Under heavy es-
corts Of police a number of wagonloads
of freight were sent to various railway
stations to-day by Montgomery. Ward
& Co., despite sympathizers with the
company's striking teamsters and gar
ment workers. The drivers were Jeered
and crowds congregated, but the police
in force kept wagons and spectators
moving. Many arrests were made. ;
There is a possibility that the entire
express drivers union will be called
out, owing to the determined attitude
of the express companies to handle
Montgomery, Ward & Co.'s business.
Union leaders are placing dependence
on Mayor-elect Dunno. They say he
will strive for arbitration rather than
crush the strike with the police.
Violence was precipitated in Madi-
son street this afternoon shortly after
a light wagon belonging to Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s express left the Ward
building. No policeman accompanied
the wagon and crowd surged after
1t. Two coal teamsters blocked the
street and amid shouts of derision the
driver was taken from his seat. rolled
under the wagon and severely kicked.
Stones, sticks and other missiles were
thrown. For a time the police were
unable to clear the streets. but finally
the crowd was dispersed. Many per-
sons in the crowd suffered cuts about
the face and head.
Officials Of the Wells-Fargo Company
were quickly at hand and with the aid
of boy the wagon continued on its
way. Meanwhile heavy truck Of the
American Express Campany had
reached the small express wagon and
the two vehicles, surrounded by DO
lice. were escorted through the streets.
The crowd increased as the process
sion moved along and when the wagon
reached Van Buren, and Dearborn
streets 1t was estimated that 1000 per-
sons were in the crowd.
In Van Buren, another obstacle was
met with. The elevated railroad plat
forms were jammed with a bowling
mob. Sticks and stones were thrown,
striking the police, driver and many
persons in the crowd. The wagons were
driven hurriedly to the express COM
pany barns near by.
1t was declared by policemen that at
Kinsey and Dearborn streets acid-filled
eggshells were thrown into the crowd
None of them did any damage. Police
man Meyer picked up one of the mis-
siles and his hand was burned by acid.
Detectives searched buildings in the vi
cinity, but could get no clew as to who
threw the eggs.

EVEN The DANTE
HOUSE IS FRAUD
Special Dispatch to The Call

LONDON, April s.--American trav-
elers in Europe can't be blamed
after this, If they refuse to take any
stock IN houses with literary associa-
TONS" For. one by one, the supposed
ly historic mansions in which tourists
have taken most delight are being
branded as frauds. BY this time most
persons know that the place in Lin
coins Inn Fields that poses as the
original "Old Curiosity Shop" Is moth
ing OF the sort. 1t has been proved,
too. that Juliet never inhabited the

Kenilworth Castle was not the scene
of Amy Robsart's death, in spite of Sir
Walter Scott. The old Cheshire
Cheese Tavern, in Fleet street, is de-
MED the honor OF having been DR..
Johnson's favorite haunt. And now
comes an Italian savant with the as
sertion that Dante never lived in the
house in Florence which thousands Of
travellers visit every year under the
impression that 1t was his.
1t is true that the authenticity OF the
dwelling near the Church of San Mar
tino was vouched for by commission
appointed by the Florentine authorities
In 1865 and that their opinion was
confirmed five years later by another
official manifesto. Signor Giorgio
Piranesi. who has been investigating
the subject for several months, main
tains, however. that the two sets of
commissioners must have totally mis-
understood the evidence before them
and that the house they accepted as
genuine cannot have belonged to either
Dante or to any member of his family.
He affirms that the poets real house
was destroyed at the time of his ban
ishment. Signor Piranesi says that
there Is some evidence In favor of be-
lieving that the house which once
stood in the Via de Cinatori, on the
opposite side of San Martino from the
traditional house, was once inhabited
by some Of the Alighieri family, but
this dwelling has long since disap-
peared.

"AD" CAUSES TROUBLE.

All things considered, England has
taken rather kindly to American ad-
vertising methods, but evidently the
Fatherla4 will take a lot of convert
ing in this direction. The two quali-
ties which the German newspaper
reader demands in an advertiser are
modesty and brevity. and when these
are not displayed he gets mad. To
advertise to the extent of a quarter Of
a column is considered "bombastic'
in Germany, as certain Anglo Amer
lean business man knows to his cost.
Quite recently he took the above mem
toned amount OF space in a Berlin
newspaper to oSadvertise a well known
patent medicine. A few days after the
ad appeared the editor Of the nswpa-
per wrote to him stating that he had
been. summoned and fined for giving
1t publicity. and that he expected the
patent medicine man to reimburse
him. 1t seemed that the advertise
ment was considered "bombastic." No
other advertisement occupied more
than one or two inches of space and
one Of the subscribers to the newspa-
per informed the local police that the
quarter of column was offensive and
irritating to readers generally. The
authorities did not in any way ques-
ton the efficacy of the medicine. the
editor was fined merely for offending
Teuton susceptibilities
Probably American advertisers will
be able to adapt themselves to Ger
man ideas, but they will have to walk
warily at first. To begin with, the
Teuton frowns upon street advertising
and billboards are almost prohibited
And when it comes to advertising
drugs delightful vagueness must be
maintained. A patent medicine ven
dor is not permitted to say what dis
ease his wares are intended to cure
An asthma medicine, for instance,
must not be represented as a remedy
for that complaint. The advertiser
