The Three Playmates.

(Rv Clista Z. Worden. 10, W. Halifax
Once upon a time there were three
playmates. Their names were kuth' Aiice
and Gertrude Ruth was seven, hhce
nine and Gertrude eleven. They all had
pretty dolls. They played house and had
tea-parties under the trees. Their homes
were in the city. Ruth had an uncle
that lived in the country. She and her
friends went there every summer. lhey
thought it great fun to ride on load OF
hav and feed the hens and ducks.
They were greatly interested in watch
;nc Tie chickens Matching in the incu-
bafors. One by one the eggs in the in,
cubator clipped and cracked and fell
apart; and one after another the tlny,
bright-eyed chickens stepped out ana
looked about them with little faint
cbirps. There was no protecting mother
hen to shelter them under her warm
feathers. no "cluck, cluck," to call them
here and there. -, ~
Ruth's aunt was always kind to the
little girls. She gave them milk to drink
every night and morning. Ihey went
with Ruth's Uncle Ned to drive the cows
To pasture. They sometimes found
few checkerberries in the pasture.
There was big orchard behind the
house where many nice apples grew:
Rack of this orchard was piece OF land
where raspberries grew quite plentifully'
The children gathered raspberries in
little tin cups and carried them to the
house. Then they had berries and milk
for supper. Uncle Ned, as all the chill
dren called him, had nice dog. He was
black and white and his name was JACK
THE girls taught him many cute tricks;
He could stand upon his hind paws and
beg for his dinner.

souirrels and Their Habits.

nv ROY Metcalf. -, Hinsdale \. H.
In thc woods near my home, there live
four kinds of squirrels. the gray. red
flying. and chipmunk. Gray squirreis
are growing thicker because of the law
made in 1905. by the New Hampshire,
legislature. The gray is the largest and
Is considered the prettieSt by most
people. 1t usually nests in the top oil
nine or chestnut tree and sometimes IN
n stump. 1t makes longer leaps than the
red and, from my own observations,
seems TO miss its leap oftener than the
red 1t does not hurt squirrel to ran
because he uses his tail and legs hke
a pump, pumping up and down ana II, u,
that way stopping the force of the fall
a great deal This is so with an
suuirrels The flying squirrel does 1t
The hest because of the lines of fur on
each side which he spreads out. The
gray and red squirrels have no pouches IN
their cheeks like the chipmunk and nave
TO carry their food in their teeth. lhey
do not store up food like the chipmunk
but store it in holes and crotcheS OF
trees. They do not store up as much as
the chipmunk, but are out all winter
hunting for food. When sap starts IN
the spring, they nip through the bark
and drink it.
Walking in the woods one day, came
to tall pine in the top OF which was was
nest. Knocking the tree with my 1901
gray squirrel sprang out OF the nest
and skipped through the trees. noticed
that he made very long leap into a
white pine. The next day l did the
same thing and two came out ana went
on the same branches. The thru day
7 climbed the tree and two came out and
went on the same branches as before:
When ND in the top of the tree, founo
that the nest was made of the lining OF
chestnut bark. 1t was about six inches
deem and the bottom was dried mud and
leaves. There were two kind OF tunnels
branching off, each big enough to hold
one squirrel. The animal could easily
crawl in and pull some of the bark over
him and have nice warm bed. Inere
was no food there for, as you remember
thew store no food in one place. :, /,
The red squirrel is often called
"Cbickaree," because of his call OF
smoker. When he sees that you are
harmless, he begins to laugh at you. He
smokers and dances as if he was crazy.
He steals grain and vegetables from the
harm and is often killed by farmers.
They live much the same as the gray. !,
The flying squirrel is not seen much
and is the shyest of all squirrels.
The first chipmunk in March is as
much a sign of spring as a robin 5r..e or
bluebird. When you hear his emp
Chin! Chipg' you know that spring has
come. When you see him sitting on
stump or stone you know that the leaves
win be green soon. In the fall they store
up enough chestnuts and other food to
last all winter, carrying it to their den
in pouches in their cheeks. They nest nest
seldom live together. After they have
been stirred up or something unusual
happened they move bag and baggage
They usually carry dirt from their hole.

Last Monday afternoon, about one
o'clock, during an alteration at the
compress, between Mr.. J. M. Denman,
superintendent and Mr.. R. N. Coul-
trim engineer at the Gredada Com

times with a 80 S. & w. revolver, one
shot going through the left hand just
below the wrist, n slight flesh wound
in the left shoulder and the third above
the left nipple. This wound could not
be probed and it s impossible to tell
in which direction it went. For sever
days Mr.. Coultrim's condition was con-
sidered very serious but the last two
days has much improved and it is now
believed that he will recover.
The immediate cause or the circum-
stances which occurred just before the
shooting is not known as there were no

when the fight commenced being a ne
