BREEDING DOGS WITH WOLVES

In the Westminster Gazette. 1t has

n cross successfully. Indeed, in Rus
sla the TSarS lcng kept up fierce
pack Of hounds for wolf hunting in
which Il strong strain Of wolf was
evident Unfortunately, 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 rcSortcd to for otter

This fact establishes the fertility OF
the hybrid between the wolf anu lie

original parents, hut 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 DR.. Alaric Benin Of

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
stores ~ food. Rev. J. g. Wood. the
naturalist. tells Of friend who found
one NJ these reserve stores, which n
squirrel had provided for an emergency
and, In moment of thoUghtlcSsncss,
the man determined to play Joke on
the squirrel. He accordingly replaced
the nuts by small, round stones and
carefully concealed all evidences Of
his visit.
one cold day In winter he passed the
spot and found that the squirrel had
called there Il 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 rcmorsc.
He said: II never felt the folly Of
practical Joking 50 much In my life.

Life AT Camp Taylor

Life in the army is simply
expressed in a little prose poem
that is going the rounds at
Camp Taylor. as follows:
No more ham or eggs or grape
fruit when the bugle blows for
chow; no more apple pies or
dumplings. cause we're in the
army now, They feed US beans
for for breakfast. and at noon
We have 'em too, while at night
they fill Our stomachs with good
old army stew. No more fixes,
beers or highballs when we
have an awful thirst. If you're
thinking of enlisting, better
get used to water first; for the
lids on tight all over and the
drilling makes US warm. but we
don't cool off with liquor, cause
We wear the uniform. No
more shirts or silk or linen, we
wear the 20. D." stuff: no
more night shirts or pajamas,
cause our pants are good en-.
ough; no more feather ticks or
pillows, bat we're glad to thank
the Lord that We have a cot
and blanket when we might
have just board. For they
feed US beans at breakfast and
at noon we have 'em too. and
at night they always give US
that good old army stew. But,
by gum, we'll lick the kaiser
when the sergeants teach US
how, for, dad burn him, he's
the reason that we're in the
army now.
