MUsKRAT VIBRATIONS

Muskrats often wander over
fields and along highways far
from water. This occurs in late
fall, early spring, or during severe
droughts in late summer. The causes
are not understood, although the
spring movement has been general
ly attributed to sexal excitement.
When met away from water, musk
rats sometimes show considerable
ferocity and have been known to
attack persons savagely without
apparent provocation.
Whether general migrations of
muskrats occasionally occura is
doubtful, although the trader at
Lake Traverse, Minnesota, informed
Featheronhaugh that such move
ments take place, and that at times
the animals were seen on the prair-
es in incredible numbers.
The local movements of musk
rats from place to place, both over
land and along streams, make it
difficult to protect canals and arti-
ficial ponds from the animals.
They promptly find their way to
new ponds built several miles from
their former known haunts. 1rri-
cation canals and ditchers are like
wise invated throughout their en-
tire length so nearly Simultaneous
ly that it IS hard to believe that
all the animals could have reached
them through the head of the gates.

MRS. C.. C.. dsCRAVELLES
ENTERTAINS BOOK CLUB

Like vast mountain range, the
plays Of Shakespeare extend down
English drama. Yet, there are four
peaks which rise somewhat higher
than others: ''King Lear" Ham
let," Macbeth" and "Othello."
Hamlet" excels all in the wide
range of thought just as "King
Lear" excels in majesty.
Shakespeare, in his great tragedy,
Hamlet, shows us the glory, the
grief, the playful ripples and the
tragic depths of human life in a
way that teaches us to better I'M
derstand ourselves and our fellow
man. This masterplay was the sub
ject for the Book Club in their
Tuesdays program carried out at
the home of Mrs. c. c. deGravelles.
Three numbers treating on the
great tragedy were contributed in
masterful manner by Mrs. A. F.
Storm, Mrs. M. I. Hamilton, and
Mrs. G. s. O'Brien.
Selections from Hamlet were
pleasingly read by Mrs. Storm;
Hamlet, the Man," was the topic
of the excellent paper by Mrs.
Hamilton, while a skillful compare
son between Hamlet and Laertes"
was presented by Mrs. O'Brien.
The st. Valentine season lent it
self most admirably to the occasion
and the Valentine suggestion was
charmingly carried out in decora-
tions and refreshment features of
the delightfully."- planned evening.
AS Hamlet" stands a prominent
peak among the towering eminences
of the great bard's masterpieces, so
the afternoon, in both literary and
social features, stands distinctively
forth in the hearts and memories
Of the Book Club members who en-
ioyed the rare treat of this meeting
with their contender, Mrs. deGra-
velles.
Mrs. deGravelles had as her house
guests for this occasion, Mrs. Mat
tingly and Mrs. Roth of Thibodaux.
