An English artist while painting a
sea piece discovered a badgers lair and
thought 10 play the animal practical
Joke. Gathering together bundle of
grass and weeds, he placed it inside
the mouth of the hole and, igniting 1t
with match. waited for the ignomlni-
GUS flight of the astonished household
er. But Master Badger was resource
full animal and not disposed to be
made butt of practical jokers. He
came up from the depths Of his hole
as soon as the penetrating smoke told
him that there was fire on the prem
ises and deliberately scratched earth
on the burning grass with his strong
claws until all danger was past. No
human being could have grasped the
situation more quickly or displayed
greater skill in dealing with an I'm.
