SQUIRRELS FIGHT TO DEATH.
Affinity Case in Animal Kingdom Has
Fatal Ending.

Saginaw, Mich.--A loud chattering,
chirping, and screeching well up in
the branches of a sycamore tree in
Granger street drew the attention OF
passers by and women OF neighbor-
ing houses to wild commotion in the
animal kingdom the other day. 1t
was battle to the death between two
of the pet Texas squirrels which live
there.
When first discovered the animals
were racing back and forth on the
limb, over each other and into each
other, shaking their tails madly, and
raising din by their shrill scolding.
AS the combat waXed fiercer they
would stand up on their hind legs, cuff
and scratch with their forepaws. and
bite with their razor-like teeth.
Finally the larger of the two sank
her teeth into the neck of her antagon-
list, gave 1t a sharp wrench, and the
vanQuished warrior fell to the ground
dead. 1t showed the marks of a ter.
rife encounter, being wounded and
lacerated in a dozen places and stained
with blood. The women in the crowd
that watched the fight tried to stop
it, but in vain; the squirrels were be-
yond their reach and refused to be
frightened.
The cause of this tragedy in SOUR,
reldom was domestic quarrel, In
which the combatants, both females
waged war for the favor of mate
and corner in his box. The big male
squirrel for whose affection they
fought belonged to Charles Moyle
Some time ago his mate left, and later
another came to take her place. A
few days ago larger and handsomer
female appeared and coquetted with
the roprietor of the box He took her
in, and this so angered the less attrac
tive companion that she provoked the
usurper to battle. She lost, and his
squirrelship, who sat on an upper limt
and calmly watched the fight, was an

In connection with Prof. Grasset

Henry S. Atkins of the st. Louis Asy-

putting a theory of his own to a prac'

women out in small parties to visit
the department stores and particularly
the bargain counters to do some shop
ping. The insane women were In
charge of keepers, but gave no trouble
The patients purchased with keen
regard of appearance and value, just
as their normal sisters were buying
all about them. Apparently the sales
women noted nothing unusual in theiI
demeanor
Dr. Atkins said that such recreation
as that afforded by day in the stores
is a valuable part of the treatment fol

are better merry than moody, so, he
says his charges are improved by any
thing that pleasantly. occupies thell

WIPED ENGLAND OFF THE MAP.
Unexpected Result of Dinner Given
by British Diplomat in Bolivia.

Bolivia is the only country that
ever wiped England off the map" said
Frank Robertson. 1T came about this
way: The British ambassador sew.
eral years ago gave a dinner for the
official and social circle people of Bo-
livia.
When they arrived at the embassy
they found that he was not married
to the woman seated at the head OF
the table and they left. In the name
of his government he demanded an
apology, whereupon the government
gave him "a hours to get out of the
country.
'lnasmuch as little Bolivia is way
off the ocean and practically lost in
the eternal mountains Great Britain
could not. by guns, get the retraction
that she wanted. But her mapmakers
got revenge by issuing maps wholly
eliminating Bolivia.
Finally this information reached
Bolivia, whereupon, with stroke of
the pen, new maps were ordered for
the Bolivian government and the Bo-
livian schools. They showed more
ocean than any other maps ever
printed, The British isles had been
sunk into the sea. And so far as the
people and school children of Bolivia
are concerned there is no Great Brit
ain. "-Indianapolis News

AND THEN HE WENT AWAY.
Money for His Sandwich Could Be
Found In Slot Machine.

A man with an eight-day beard,
which grew listlessly over his features
in unrestrained fashion, wandered into
modest little restaurant. 1t was one
of those places where one can buy
light lunch, and if he is unsteady in
clined can drop a coin in the music
box and have classical or popular mel
odies to soothe him while eating.
The man with the eight-day beard
looked first at the lunch counter and
then at the big music box. Then he
looked at the three or four small coins
which he had drawn from his pocket,
He had laundering for music, and he
decided to go and tackle the throat OF
the musical machine with a fiye-cent
piece.
But the nickel got lodged in the
esophagus of the machine and there
wasn't a note to be heard. The man
gave the machine shake, but still II
didn't swallow the nickel.
Then the man went over to the coun
ter and bought roast-beef sandwich
He ate it leisurely until the last bitr
was stuffed into his countenance. The
man behind the counter came up with
an expectant air
With ihs mouth still partly filled will
the sandwich, the man eating pointed
his thumb over his shoulder in the di
rection of the machine. You'll fine
the money for this in there" he ex
planned.
And then he went away.-New Yorl
