THIS COON MOTHERS CHICKS
Said to Be the First One on Record
to Overcome Natural Killing
Instinct.

Monessen. Pa Smoke" pet
coon belonging to Franklin Sauter, of
this place, has cast aside his heredi-
tary instinct of enmity toward birds
and fowl of all kinds and adopted a
brood of young guinea hens that had
been hatched in the oven of Mr.. Sau-
ter's stove few days ago.
Naturalists and woodsmen in this
section declare it is the only instance
on record where coon is known to
have overcome his natural instincts to
kill all feathered creatures.
Several months ago Mr.. Sauter, on
a hunt, captured young coon that
had been pulled down and injured by
the dogs. Taking the animal home, 1t
soon became domesticated and be-
came a great pet around the house.
Not having an incubator for his
missing guinea hens eggs, Sauter
placed the eggs in box back Of his
stove. He was considerably aston
ished yesterday to find the coon in
the box with young guineas, mother
ing" them. Since that time the ami
NAL has refused to leave the guinea
chicks and keeps them well covered.
