The chipmunlS is not usually consid-

to Ernest Thompson Seton he is quite
a success in a vocal role.
In Manitoba the chipmunk comes
above ground about the first or second
week of April, says Mr.. Seton in Sue
cess. Mounted on some log or root, it
reiterates loud, ciiirpy "Chuck-chuck
chuck!" Other chipmunks run forth
into the sunlight, and seeking some
perch add their "Chuck-chuck-c chuck"
to the spring salute. They are active
from this time Of the year on, and
their sunny morning chorus is not by
any means confined to that original
outburst. On April 20, 1905, at Cos
Cob, heard a chipmunk in full song
He kept it up for eleven minutes with
out ceasing, and uttered $50 chirps to-
the minute. He got no reply, though
he worked very hard and seemed tired
toward the last. On May %, 1905, at
Cos Cob, heard chipmunk singing.

South Dakota divorces, of world
wide fame, may be the subject of
special investigation by the United
States government. For several days
past j. Swinburn of Washington, con-
nected with the bureau Of statistics,
has been working on the Lawrence
county records, securing statistics on
divorce.

to obtain the number of divorces
granted in this county from 1887 to
date, twenty years, as we'll as the
cause named, the time the couple
were married, whether there was ali
mony granted, "a contest made and
similar data. Thus far he had found
that up to 1905 there were $40
divorces granted in this county, re-
markahly low figure.
After obtaining his information
here Mr.. Swinburn will work the 9TH
er prominent counties of the state
where divorce data will be of service

WHERE WAS THE SLEEK GAIT

!. !. . - y.
A certain family living in one Of the
suburbs of New York owned a kitten
OF which they We're very fond. When
they went away for the summer 1t was
decided after various consultations to
leave the kitten with the butcher, on
condition that he should treat 1t with
the greatest kindness and give it
about pound of meat week, besides
its daily allotment of cream.
Some weeks after the family had
closed the house for the summer the
nominal head OF the family visited the
suburb to attend to some business
matters and decided that he might as
well drop in az the butchers to see
how the kitten was getting along.
He found the kitten curled up in
the corner asleep and apparently at
peace with the world, but, far from
being sleek and we'll fed II appear

strained to call the attention of the
butcher to the fact
DO you mean to say you have fed
that cat pound of meat during the
last week?" he asked.

butcher.
Put him on the scales and see how
much he weighs

one pound.
