Upon return to the cottage"
the Nature Magazine article con-
tinues, "the beavers soon learned
to followed us around like two
puppies. They were quite like
boys in their fondness for wres-
Ting. The bout would begin by
Johnny trying to take Paddy's
head in his mouth; then neck to
neck they would both shove until
Johnny's superior weight gave
him the advantage and Paddy
went to the wall.
"As the nights grew cooler. we
would sometimes hear pathetic
cries and go out to see Paddy and
Johnny standing straight up
against the wire door begging to
come in. When their gate was
opened, they would run up the
porch steps and scratch at the
screen door, and then dash
through the hall to the bedroom
where they would stretch up on
their hind feet and pull with per-
sistent hands at the bed covers.
BY that time we would have their
warm blankets and bottles ready
and would put them to bed where
they would cuddle down with de-
lighted comfort.
subsequently, In the Adiron-
dacks, we caught other beavers,
some half grown and some old,
and kept them a while for study,
but none took such hold on our
affections as Paddy and Johnny"

In 1899 he went back to Eng

years later he again returned to

Ultimately he became director

together, and the actions Of the

supported such politics.

other states as well, so that to-

the view that the destruction Of

as some kind Of confederation Of

In this plea we, the undersigned, ask the motorists to obey the speed laws and to keep their cars under absolute control at all times We also urgently ask that all pedestrians look right and left before crossing highways, and to avoid all unnecessary risks.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-08-05

While we recognize this is an age of speed--- nevertheless the wild reckless, law-defying motorist must be curbed. There's code that limits the mileage---a reasonable speed that places every car under control---and gives both rider and walker equal privileges on the highways and byways.
