SQUIRREL MAKES GOOD FIGHT

Youngsters Who Would Hold
Animal In Captivity.

Birmingham, Ala.-A squirrel, 10
bloody boys and a crowd of curious
spectators entered to produce one of
the strangest and most amusing Incl.
dents that has occurred at the Ter
minal station since that place was
opened.
The incident was the efforts of sew
eral boys to hold a small squirrel
which did not like captivity.
One youngster grabbed the squirrel
and attempted to place it in a bag.
The boys hands were ~lacefated ter.
rtbly by the captive, and imme.
diately surrendered to another one
The second tanner grabbed the little
animal only to be bitten about five
times on the hand. Blood spouted
over everything nearby. This process

suggested the placing of the squirrel
in a paper bag. Strange to say, when
this was done the kids walked. of
with the squirrel perfectly tame and
quiet. After biting the boys and
scratching all of them many of the
men marveled at the tameness of the
creature when it vas placed in the
bag, 1t could have easily broker
through the paper and escaped.
The boys, bleeding in several places
about the hands, marched off proudly
with the squirrel, and, to outward ap
pearances, did not mind the terrific
biting they received in getting the
little captive into the bag.

A society called the "Gideons' which
is composed of Christian Commercial
Travellers has recently started a cru
sade to place Bibles in the guest
rooms of all the hotels in the country.
Many thousand have been gladly ac-
copied by the panagers of all classes
of hotels from the most fashionable
and expensive hosteiries TO the one
night lodging houses.
In New York that Hotel Savoy re-
ceived a hundred Bibles, the Plaza 700.
and the Hotel Aston 500.
Now, when they get all the hotels in
the country supplied. I have another
suggestion for the Gideons and that is
that they start a crusade to place Bibles
in our homes
I really think that everyone would
be astonished if a census could be
taken showing haw many homes

without q Bible.
You see, the furniture dealers, who
advertise to fit out our young peaple
for housekeepers at the rate of forty
nine or ninety eight dollars for four
rooms probably don't include Bibles in
that furnishing. And as for the huge
family Bible which used to be such a
