J. L. 1\Ic\Villiams , who recently -
cently returned from iL visit .at
'l'abor , Iowa with his brothcr
Wills brought with him live fox
squirrels , now about. half grown.
Mr. Mc\Vitliams intcnds lixing
up boxes for them in the city
park. lIe says in 'l'abor the
sqnirls are numerons and are protected -
tected by the city , imposing a
finc of $25 011 anyone who kills
onc. He says many of them arc
very tame and will eat nuts from
a person's hand. He thinks thcse
of his will continue tame if boys
or others do not frighten them
by throwing at them or by run-
n1l1g after them. In order to
protect the squirrels from harm
he proposes to have the city
council pass an or < 1 mmce impo -
ing a fine of $25 for killing one
of them. Mr. Mc\Villiams
brought with him a supply of
hickory nuts to last thcm un till
fall and Mr. Geo. , Hersh of
Missouri , , has proffered to send
out several bushels ofValnuts ;
for thcm to feed upon. Mr.
McWillians } descrvcs great credit
for the interest he has manifcst-
eel in the matter and we hope he
will succccd in populating our
city park with a large : family . of
squirrels.

It is not , always that things
are as they secm to one whose
yei ! are failin . Just what had. .
come over L. B. Cole last Monday -
day noon as he was going home
to d 1 ner was a mystry that attracted -
tracted t.he attention of his
friends. Usually "Coly" has his
bcttcr' judgemcnt wit.h him and
no one had had an occasion before -
fore to accuse him of being luna.
'Vhy he should stop on the corner
at the llroken Bow State Bank
and pef1istently wave his hand
down the street at some apparent
person when no one could he seen
in that direction was a mystery
difficult to explain. Finally -
ally after making several attemps
and receiving no salute in return
he wended his way homeward ,
not a little char -ined that his
supposed lady friend had not
acknowledged his courtesy by at
least. a wave of the hand. On
his return he investig-ated and
found that the lady still occupied
the side walk in front of Wilson
& Drake's store dressed in the
same blue calico wrapper , but instead -
stead of being the persoll he
supposed , it was a dummy placed
there for a sign. Hcre after if
you sce him lift his hat as he
passes the Indian bust or cigar
sign in front of Mike Scanlon's
restaurant , do not be surprised as
it may be another case of mistaken -
taken idenity , for which his eyc
sight only is responsible.
