it," said Nick.
mo" said Daddy, 81 don't believe
you do, but as it is word that is
used often about some animals, think
il would be q nice word for us to
know. And so will tell you what
1t means, and perhaps it IS such big
word you will do 1t the great honor
to remember its meaning.
"Amphlbious means living on land
and in water, so when we say the otter
family and the mink family have
amphibious habits we mean that they
can live on land and in the water.
well the mink family Is rather
well separated now. They are hunt

avoid being caught, for they think it
is an honor that their fur should be
considered so beautiful by people. but
they just as soon miss being the ones
especially to whom the honor is given.
And there Is ii hole in bank
which belonged to muskrat which
is made of grass and soft feathers
and hair, which is going to be taken
by Mr.. and Mrs. Mink Jr. in the
springtime and there, a good deal later
on in April or in May, somewhere
from four to twelve little babies will
come who will stay with Mrs. Mink
Jr. until they In turn are strong in
the autumn and can quite look after
themselves.

and everything else they can find al

they're travelling about, mostly a
night, though sometimes in the day

called upon the Co-ops to cooperate

Brooklyn club, pulled fine boner
when he sent RUDE Marquard in to
pitch for the Robins. Marquard has
been knocked out of the box more
times in worlds series games than
any other pitcher in organized base

there is no comparison in the batting
strength of the two teams. The Amer

twice as many men hitting over three
