SQUIRRELS PLAN IS ..HAL E1
Little Pet Persisted in Carrying 1Av.ay Doctors Winter Supply of Care. -:
 fully Hulled WalnuAa.

Billie, one of the pet squirrels in Fletcher avenue, became very <indlg. nant recently, relates the Indianapolis News. The doctor had burned con siderable gasoline in visiting the conn- try and gathering walnuts, until he had three or four bushels for winter use. Billie watched the doctor hull the nuts, put them in a basket, and get them in the sun in the, back yard to dry. The nuts looked good to Billie and when the doctor was called away Billie got busy and began laying up his own winter store. The sQLiirel had carried off and buried about half a bushel of the nuts when the doc tor returned and put the little thief to flight. , .f.S s.
 Billie returned the next. day and found the doctor had spread the nuts on the roof of his garage and covered them with wire screens, but this didn't daunt the squirrel, which at once gnawed hole in the wire and pulled out the nuts with it's paws. It was busy burying them in neighbOFh1Od lawns and gardens when the d0ctof discovered that more of the nuts were missing. l :a
 "Shoo, you little rascal" the. doc tor said, as he made threatening motion.
 Get out of my way" retorted Billie in squirrel chatter as the little animal made Q dash for another nut. & ''''N~s . Mot one raOre," replied the doctor as he attempted to close the rent In the wire screen, but the squirrel did not budge an inch and attempted to scratch and bite. k, x
 Finally the doctor pushed the sqdr+ rel off the roof and threw 8 nut at 1t, which was promptly buried with the others that had been stolen. Bilhe then sat on his launches with tail curved upward and chattered all man. ners of unkind things till the owner of the nuts had packed them away In the cellar :t~.'. <

A correspondent of the Westnlin- ster Gazette sends to that paper his impression of American Ambassador Gerard's use of the German language as it sounded to him in Ruh1eben. Heard from the back of the room
 he writes, ''the speech did, no doubt, sound like American, with variHtt0nFss; but listeners in the foreground de- clareG that both grammar and ,voGaRa- lary were accurate. The sentences were, for German sentences, rather short. One was not kept waiting aIf- xiously for the verb, as for difficult catch in the long field; nor was. the verb announced, in the German style, by the prenonitory rumblings of semi detached propositions. But the hOW of words was easy, and all the points were made, and the only effect of tue pecuIiarities of the ambassadors ac- cent was to inspire the deputation with fuller confidence. in hls goodwill and Anglo-Saxon sympathies." :,>sH,..
