SQUIRREL AND KITTEN PLAY
Game Of Hunting and Being Hunted
Watched on Lawn in Meirose
Billie Saves His Dinner.

In some sections of Melrose the gray
squirrels have been petted and fed to
such an extent that they do not hest.
tate to enter houses in search of nuts
and dainties. 1t is common to see as
many as half dozen of these SOUR
rels playing about the lawns at one
time, and they seem almost to have
lost their fear of mankind.
The other day an odd incident was
witnessed in which one of these SOUR.
rels figured. His squirrelship, locally
known as Billie" was engaged in for
aging for some of the nuts he had
cached in the grass on a lawn near q
huge oak. He was seen by a playful
maltese kitten about three months old.
When it noted the squirrel, the be-
ribboned kitten became all attention.
Then, nature asserting itself, the kitten
crouched and began to stalk its quarry.
Billie" was perfectly aware of the
kittens proximity, and with one eye
watched its attempt at stealthy ap-
proach, while with the other and his
nose he proceeded with his search.
The kitten appeared puzzled at the
boldness of the squirrel and it's curl
osity became aroused to such an ex-
tent that it neglected it's crouch and
arose to its full kitten height better
to see what the squirrel was doing in
the grass.
Then as the squirrel paid no atten-
ton to it, the kitten slowly walked
over to within two feet of the squirrel.
Billie had secured his nut and calmly
sat upright to open it.
Without a preliminary crouch the
kitten jumped for the squirrel Billie
leaped at the same instant, but went
clear over the back of the kitten. When
the squirrel came to the ground two
feet away, it at once resumed its eff
fort to open the nut.
That was play the maltese could ap-
preciate. 1t crouched, wiggled it's
slick length, leaped and sailed grace
fully over the squirrel. The latter
dropped his nut, but otherwise did not
move until the kitten again came to.
ward him, when in his turn ne jumped
over it. AS he landed the little NAL
tese ran for him, and he ran round
and round the kitten, purely in play
and without apparent fear.
For nearly three minutes the pair
kept up. their antics. Then suddenly
there was black streak from the
flower bed as an older kitten rushed
for the squirrel. But Billie knew his
ground and his rush carried him six
feet up the trunk of the friendly oak
by the time the older kitten was at its
base.
Then Billie hung, head down, tail
flirting, and in his squirrel way gave
that black kitten a piece of his mind.
After five minutes of vain waiting fol
him to come down, the two kittens de.
cided they must delay their attack and
adjourned for romp of their own.
They were scarcely Is feet from the
tree when Billie leaped down, secured
his nut and scampered back up to 8
sheltering limb of the oak to enjoy il
in peace.-Boston Globe.

THE BEAUTY OF VINES
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.

ny JOSEFF1VNE LIE MANN
When in doubt as to what to plant
plant vines, is sound advice. Vines
beautify; they are useful; they are
easy to grow; they shade from the
hot sun; they hide old or obnoxious
features; they encourage the birds to
nest about the house; they are the
drapery nature throws over and about
with lavish hand to soften and EN-.
bellish.
When preparing to plant vines be
sure to spade deeply, manure heavily,
and prepare the soil carefully. After
perennial or hardy vines are estab.
lished, it is difficult to cultivate them,
therefore, do all you can before plant
ing them. When they begin to spin
they must have supports, otherwise
they will be stunted in growth and
unsatisfactory.
There are so many beautiful vines
among ANNALS, perennials and hardy
vines that it is hard to decide, if the
choice is at all restricted. If you wish
to blot out an old building, cover it
with vines. II you dislike the neces-
sary fence, turn it into a thing of
beauty by planting vines along its
length.
