Domesticity Dont Suit
Skunk Makes Escape
A few days ago Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Surfus started out tor their
blackberry patch in the neighborhood
of. Redland, and while on tlwir trip
they discovered a "patch" of skunks
huddled togethere. The young ani
mals were unmolested, but upon the
return they were seen in the same
position. Mr. Surfus' curiosity being
aroused, he threw a stone in their
direction. Two of the young skunks
"beat it," while the others remained
motionless. Mr. Surfus captured one
while it was trying to make its es
cape, and the other disappeared in
the thicket. He found the others hud
dled in a heap, and found they had
been previously killed in Some man
ner. ' y
The young skunk was brought to
the Surfus home. Mr. Surfus had not
contemplated starting a skunk farm
when he captured the animal, but
thought he would make a "pet" of it.
The animal was given good, warm
headquarters, and plenty to eat, but
having become afflicted with the
"call of the wild," made a desperate
effort to escape from his enclosure.
His efforts were unsuccessful, and he
Is now roaming somewhere beneath
the Surfus home, or at least he was
last seen there biding in a dark cor
ner, and is now probably on his way
to "Skunk Hollow," along the Aber-
nethy.
The animal had already become
quite gentle.

Had Good Intentions
And Demon's Nerve
But Is Dandy Clerk
J. A. Staggs, an employe of the
Brady Mercantile Company, desired
to operate the delivery automobile
few days ago. After the desire once
entered his head, he could not resist
tho temptation of learning to operate
the machine. He started out a few
days ago, and was to be instructed by
Fred E. Smith, the driver. The first
tl ing that Staggs did was to run into
a curbing. He kept right along, and
the next thing that came in his
view was a telephone pole. This he
tried to climb with the machine. The
machine bucked, and Staggs and the
driver are now coming to a decision
that Staggs was not cut out for an
automobile driver. He haa gone back
to the counter, and Smith retains his
position. Staggs eays now "My moth'
er did not raise me to be an automo
bile driver," Smith believes he is
right there.
