NEVER AGAIN FOR HIM MR. BURLISON DECLARES HIM. SELF IN STRONG TERMS. Good Reasons Why He Should Make Resolution Not to Bring the Sun day Dinner From the City--. "Why, Henryf" There was the look of a man with a troubled soul in the face of Mr. Henry lurlison when he reached his home one Saturday evening. The smiling face of his wife did not lessen the look of grim determination in the face lof Burlison. A wife with far less in tuition than Mrs. Blurlison had would have discovered that something had gone wrong, an(d Mrs. ituirison asked, "Why, Ihenry, what has happened?" Iurlison stepped into the vestibule of his home and dropped the suit case he carried to the floor with a (lull thud. Ills voice had an edge like a blade as he said: "Something ha: happened that will never happen again if I live to be so old that Methuselah will seem like a kid when compared with Ime. This is the last timne I save 15 cents by tak ing that suit case downtown with me on Satturday and bring home our Sun day dinner in it to save express charges-the very last time!" "Why, Henry, what. happened?" "Enough happened to make me tell you that I'll eat ray Sunday dinner from an armchair restaurant with glt tering white letters on the window an nouncing frankfurters and mashed po tatoes for 10 cents before I'll do any Saturday marketing with a suit case." "But you haven't told inc what hap pened." "You would have seen what hap pened if you had been with me just as I reached the subway stairs. I s'pose I had forgot to push down the clasps that help to hold the suit case to gether, and the thing was so crammed full that it was too much for the self locking arrangemnt, and the thing opened right at the top Of the stairs." "Why. Henry!" "You'd say 'Why, Henry!' if you had seen a six-pound P'hiladelphia ,capon traveling down these stairs, followed by three big yellow grapefruit and half a dozen apples!" "Why, Ienry!" "A bunch of celery rolled down two or three steps, and a man racing down the stairs stepped on it and slipped, and he threatened to sue me for dam ages! You will find thr print of a woman's boot heel on that pound of butter, and I left the dozen eggs I had bought on the subway stairs, for .I would have needed a shovel to have scraped them up after they had rolled down six iron stepn! One of the grapefruit rolled between the feet of an old lady going down the stairs, and she gave a yell like a maniac and called for the police! A grinning idiot caught up one of the granefruit and flung it up toward mno, and two other men pelted me with the apples!" "Oh, Henry!" "The bottle of r.aple strup spread over six of t'le steps, and the people carried it hm Ie en the soles of their shoes; and the paper eanine off the soup bone I had l'ight, ail I left it lying at the foot of t-h sulwvy stairs.

In some sections of Melrose the gray squirrels have been potted and fed to such an extent that they do not hesi tate to enter houses in search of nuts and dainties. It is common to see as many as a half dozen of these squir rels playing about the lawns at one time, and they seem almost to have lost their fear of mankind. The other day an odd incident was witnessed in which one of these squir rels figured. His squirrelship, locally known as "Billie," was engaged in for aging for some of the nuts he had cached in the grass on a lawn near a huge oak. lie was seen by a playful maltese kitten about three months old \Vhen it ,ioted the somirrel, the be ribboned kitten became all attention. Then, nature asserting itself, the kitten crouched and began to stalk its quarry. "Billie" was perfectly aware of the kitten's proximity, and with one eye watched its attempt at a stealthy ap proach, while with the other and his nose he proceeded with his search. The kitten appeared puzzled at the boldness of the squirrel and its curi osity became aroused to such an ex tent that it neglected its crouch and arose to its full kitten height better to see what the squirrel was doing in the grass. Then as the squirrel paid no atten tion to it, the kitten slowly walked over to within two feet of the squirrel. Billie had secured his nut and calmly sat upright to open it. Without a preliminary crouch the kitten jumped for the squirrel. Billie leaped at the same instant, but went clear over the back of the kitten. When the squirrel came to the ground two feet away, it at once resumed its ef fort to open the nut. That was play the maltese could ap preciate. It crouched, wiggled its slick length, leaped and sailed grace fully over the squirrel. The latter dropped his nut, but otherw ise did not move until the kitten again came to ward him, when in his turn lie jumped over it. As he landed the little mal tese ran for him, and he ran round and round the kitten, purely in play and without apparent fear. For nearly three minutes the pair kept up their antics. Then suddenly thcre was a black streak from the flower bed as an older kitten rushed for the squirrel. But Billie knew his ground ant. his rush carried him six feet up thb trunk of the friendly oak by the time the older kitten was at its base. Then Billie hung, head down, tail flirting, and in his squirrel way gave that black kitten a piece of his mind. After five minutes of vain waiting for him to come down, the i .o kittens de cided they must delay their attack and adjourned for a romp of their own. They were scarcely 15 feet from the tree when Iillie leaped down, secured his nut and scampered back up1) to a sheltering limb of the oak to enjoy it in peace.--Poston Globe. Marked Similarity.
