Happy Jack on a nut and there's no
use to try. Where had those nuts come
from? Had Farmer Browns Boy scat
tered some on the ground for him to
pick up and store away? That must
be 1t. He would attend to those nuts
after he had inspected this new house.
Those nuts would make him a good
breakfast.
All these thoughts passed through
Happy Jacks head as he continued to
climb up to his new house. Then he
popped inside. Less than half minute
later he popped out again much faster
than he had popped in. And he was
the angriest squirrel that ever started
his tongue to scolding or jerked a big
tail. You see, he had had a Shock-a
most unpleasant shock. He had found
that new home occupied. In fact, he
had been told in no uncertain terms
chung to branch close by that house,
a face appeared in the doorway face
with two glaring yellow eyes and bill
that snapped most unpleasantly. It was
Spooky the Screech Owl.
Thief! Robert" slrieked Happy
Jack. Come out of my housed"
1T is not your house; it is my
housed" snapped Spooky.
mo such thing!" shrieked Happy
OdSh' 4OuIlu III 11S1! IL 10 uILIlc!
1t was built for me. Farmer Browns
Boy put 1t up there for me-"
Spooky glared at him and snapped
his bill more than ever. "If it was your
house, why didn't you keep it?" said
he. II found it empty. Now I've got
it and I'm going to keep it. Let's see
you get me out of it."
Now, this was more than Happy Jack
could do and he knew it. He didn't
dare to even put his head inside that
house while Spooky was in there. He
knew all about that sharp hooked bill
of Spooky's. He knew all about those
sharp stout claws of Spookys. And he
knew all about Spooky's temper. Were
he inside he might be able to keep
Spooky out. But with Spooky inside
it was different matter. He was the
one who would be kept out and there
was no help for it. There was nothing
he could do but use his tongue, and
this he did use. My, my, my, how that
tongue of Happy Jacks did fly! 1t
brought all the little people within
hearing to find out what the trouble
was.

PREDICT CHANCES IN WARD LIMITS
Districts Unequal in Size, Coun-
 Gil Members Believe

That the time is not far distant when changes will be imperative in the boundaries of the six wards in which the city is divided, was the opinion of members of the special committee of the common council on voting precincts. at their first meet ing last night.
 Alderman David l.. Nair pointed out that the fourth ward is too small, while the sixth ward. which adjoins it, is too large, and he ia vored a change whereby the extreme eastern end of the sixth ward would be joined to the fourth, so that East street and streets north of NeWing- ton avenue. which are in the sixth ward, would be in the fourth. Alder man D. l.. Bartlett agreed that a number of bounary changes might well be made. No changes can be made at this time, however, because there is no authority to do so.
 As to the business at hand, Regis trar of Voters Thomas J. Smith pre- sented proposed precinct lines in the first. third. fifth and sixth wards. there being no need for precincts in the second and fourth wards. He and Registrar William Ziegler spent four days on the matter, he said. their system being to count the streets and the voters and divide the wards as evenly as possible. Were it possible to have three precincts in the sixth ward Mr. Smith said. very even i,division could be made.
 After discussion and eXamina- ton of the suggested lines. the com- mittee decided to have the map marked in colors so that the pro- posed precincts might be more cas- ! fly discerned at a glance. and Alder man John F. MaerZ was instructed i to consult the board of fire commis- | soners relative to the use of No. 1 fire station at the head of Main street and No. house on Stanley street for voting purposes.
 It was decided to invite the board of selectmen to the next meeting ir i order that their views and Sugges- | tons might be obtained, inasmucf as they have charge of the electlOr
 arrangements. The committee in tends to complete the precinct ar rangement by August at the latest.
