Show Swallowed a Pet Chameleon. Four years ago I purchased a chameleon chame-leon at the Wakefield fair, F. H. Sld-aey Sld-aey writes In Boston Evening Transcript. Tran-script. The little fellow made himself at home among our house plants and iept them clean of bugs; he became tame and answered to the name of Mickey. The tiny lizard would come when we called him ; and he kept the plants free from bugs and the house ilear of files. On warm days Mickey would crawl out onto the piazza and sun himself. One day my neighbor's flock of guinea hens wandered around my house, and although Mickey had thanged his color to that of the plazra oa..ls, the sharp-eyed guineas spied lalm and made a rush, and before my pot could escape one of the guinea hens swallowed him. I complained of the guineas to my neighbor, but he afd his guineas were too well bred to invade any one's premises ; and that furthermore, lizards were reptiles and mot fit for house pets. |
