CRUEL JOKE ON A SQUIRREL
Naturalist Replaces Nuts With Stones
-Repents When He Sees Hungry
Frisky Dig Snow Away.

Most squirrels keep two or more
naturalist, tells of friend who found
one Of these reserve stores, which a
squirrel had provided for an emergency
and, in a moment of thOughtleSSneSs,
the man determined to play a joke on
the squirrel. He accordingly replaced
the nuts by small, round stones AMI
carefully concealed all evidences Of
his visit.
One cold day in winter he passed the
spot and found that the squirrel had
called there a short time previously
This he knew by the fact that ten
inches of snow had been scratched
from the top of the hole, outside Of
which the stones had been cast by the
disappointed animal.
This struck the joker with remorse.
He said: 81 never felt the folly of
practical joking so much in my life.
Fancy the poor little fellow, nipped
with cold, and scanty food, but, fore
seeing long winter, resolved to econ
omize his little hoard as much as pos
sfble. Fancy him at last determined
to break this-perhaps his last-mag-
azine, and cheerfully brushing away
the snow, fully confident that good
meal awaited him as the reward of his
cold job, and after all finding nothing
but stones. l never felt more mean
and ashamed in nv life"

Women in Trousers.

The question of whether women as
the result of the war should wear
trouserettes is being solved without
holding conventions and without the
aid of those who have heretofore made
the fashions, says the Omaha World
Herald. In Vancouver, B. c., there
was an enormous berry crop, cult
waited and wild, and there was only
enough labor in sight to gather one
third of it. Frantic with the thought
of so much loss, the people appealed
to the government. The first PROPOSE
ton was to ship in two or three thou
sand Chinese coolies. The women up
there said that would result in two
or three thousand more to feed and
they made an appeal to the women
and girls of the province. In Il few
days more than 1000 were enlisted.
The briars and brambles of the fruit
field would make short work Of skirts
and the women all ttOnned trousers.
The army was drawn from all walks
of life.

Ancient EnuIish Tree

There grows in the beautiful garden
Of the dowager counties Of Derby, in
England, an ancient oak tree which Is
said TO be the oldest one in England.
The size Of the trunk of this yener-
able oak testifies to it's antiquity, but
on a stone seat by its side is more d.
rect evidence. The seat bears tablet
recording that Wherefore wrote in
his diary in 1888 that he well remem-
bered, after a conversation with Pitt,
and before descending int the Vale Of
Keston, sitting at the foot of can old
tree" and resolving to give notice in
the house Of commons that he would
move the abolition of the slave trade.
The tree in question, which was
therefore a good age $50 years ago, is
carefully preserved with zinc plates
where the damp might gather, and the
branches are held up with iron bars,
but 1t bears a goodly crop Of leaves,
and seems good for many years Of life.

Conserving NIaaara's Power.

Anyone that has seen an ice gorge
on the Niagara river breaking up has
q vivid reminder of titanic might let
loose. Millions of tons of solid ma
terial are then driven onward by the
cumulative impulse of the slightly
impounded or checked waters. Plain
ly this is a peril that would have to be
reckoned with by anyone building scat
tered power stations along the stretch
of the gorge. The plants would face
well nigh certain and complete de-
struction sooner or later. OF course
the cheapest way to benefit by the
river is to use as much of the water
at the Falls as the two governments
concerned will permit, and then, afteS
the diverted flow has returned to the
river below the cataract to employ the
full volume of the tidal prism. That Is
what is contemplated in the erection Of
dam at Fosters Flats.-Exchange

BREEDING DOGS WITH WOLVES
Oarwin's Belief Was That Domesti,,
CANNES Represent Several Races
of the Wild Animal.

tu "Ehe Origin of the Species" OAR
win expressed the opinion that the dog
was originally descended from the
wolf. He was inclined to think that
in different parts of the globe man
had tanned the particular species of
wolf which would be found there, and
that our domestic dogs, therefore, rep
resent not one but several races of the
wild animal, writes r. B. Townshend
In the Westminster Gazette. 1t has
long been known that dog and wolf
will interbreed freely. Button, for
example, tells us that he made such
a cross successfully. Indeed, in Rus
STA the Tsars long kept up a fierce
pack of hounds for wolf hunting in
which a strong strain of wolf was
evident. Unfortunately, a few years
ago the little daughter of huntsman,
crossing their kennel alone, stumbled
and fell, and the savage brutes set
upon her and devoured her on the
spot. The indignant tsar had the
whole pack destroyed
Even in England the cross with the
wolf has been resorted to for otter
hounds in order to increase the cour-
age and strength of jaw of the dogs.
But as the first cross proved rather
too wild and uncertain in temper for
safe handling, the masters of otter
hounds have always crossed back
again and again to the dog till there
remained perhaps only one sixty
fourth of wolf blood, or even less.
This fact establishes the fertility of
the hybrid between the wolf and the
dog when bred back to one of the
original parents, but so far there has
been no evidence to show how far the
hybrids would be fertile when bred
together continuously. Recently, how
ever, in the present century, this has
been tested by DIR. Alaric Benin of
the Stockholm geological gardens,
who has given brief account of the
results obtained by him.

Patriotism or Parsimony.

Every newspaper, every magazine,
every public speaker, is urging Ameri-
can housewives to save, save, save!
There is no doubt that an army
fights on its stomach and that this war
must be won in the kitchens of the
United States as well as in the
trenches.
But there is such a thing as saving
too well. Economy is never economy
when it is carried to the last degree Of
parEimoniousness.
Do not starve yourself nor your fam
lily. Substitute more plentiful foods
for those that are scarce; save the
fats, but keep up a balanced menu;
eat less, but not too little; keep
wasteless garbage pail, but above all:
Save wisely, but not too well -

HELD FOR MURDER
COlOred Man Arrested by Talbot Au-
thOritieS.

Easton, Md, Dec. 1.-THE 1nVes-
tigation into the murder last week
of James Stanley, who lived on
farm near Trappe, has resulted in the
arrest of Joseph Wilson, colored, VINO
lived with Charles r. Wootters at
Easton. The arrest was made by
Sheriff Stitchberry and Deputy Sher-
iff Stevens. Wilson lived with Stan
ley, but early in the fall they had a
misunderstanding over money mat
tiers, and Wilson left and came to
EaStOn to work.
Since the murder of Stanley, sew
eral persons living in the nelghbof-
hood of Stanley's home said they had
noticed a strange team on the road
several times within the past two OF
three weeks coming out of the woods
near Stanley's home. This led the
officers to the belief that Wilson was
the guilty party or was connected
with the murder, and today they
went to Mr.. Wootters' residence and
arrested Wilson. They searched the
garage of Mr.. Wootters and found
raincoat, shirt and leggings which
were stained with blood.
