A 4 AIRY. the country boy, greatly
II enjoyed his visit to Dick the
1 city boy. at the latter's home.
Indeed, he had good reason to
enjoy himself, as Dick was his guide
TO all the sights Of the big city, and a
good one. Dick took him to the the
ater to the ball games. to the sea
beach. which Harry had never seen be-
fore in all his life and to many other
places of interest, at all of which Harry
marveled greatly
He then invited Dick to visit him in
the country.
Il shall be glad to go" said Dick.
for 1t will be rest for me- There is
nothing much to see up there, is there?
IT will be very quiet after the city?"
YES it will be quiet" was Harry's
reply But you will find plenty to do
Anything besides trees and noun
tains and felds?p
wait until you get there. and YOU
will see lots of things that you never
dreamed of. Dick" replied Harry.
The city boy found ii quiet indeed.
when he reached the country boys
home,i and he never slept so soundly as
The next day Harry took him for a.
ramble through the woods, which close
ly surrounded the house.
They had hardly gone hundred
Yards from the house when a peculiar
barking was heard; not exactly like a
dogs bark, but yet a genuine bark
Hal tree SQUIRREL exclaimed
Harry. The woods are full of them
There. ciinging closely to tree right
to the left OF the trail they were fol-
lowing, was pretty little gray animal
with bushy tail which curled up over
his back. Dick had brought his little
22 caliber rife with him from the city.
and quickly took aim at the little ami
mai. when Harry stopped him.
I'VE do not shoot tree SQUIRRELS he
said, any more than we do our chick
ems and our sheep. That is we shoot
them only to provide us with food
They are mighty good to eat but they
do no harm. They are pretty to look at
and we like to have them around Now
il you want to snoot a squirrel, shoot a
ground squirrel. You noticed those
holes in the field as we were coming
up from the station yesterday, didn't
you? Those were made by the ground
squirrels, which dig up the fields all
around, injuring the crops and the
bushes. We kill them whenever we
can, because they are Injurious"
He had hardly stopped talking
when they saw. right ahead of them.
a snake stretched at full length in
the middle of the trail. Dick was for
killing it at once.
No." said Harry, "that is bull
snake. You will notice that it is
marked very much like rattlesnake.
but it's head is different and it has no
rattles.
DO not kill bull snakes. because they
themselves kill rattlers and also eat up
the field mice and moles and other small
animals that injure the crops"
As they went along Dick took new
interest in everything they saw He
had been led during his life in the
city to associate the country with
nothing but woods and fields and
cows and sheep and farms. The life.
