Show HAIR CUT BY A SQUIRREL Rodent Barber Gets Busy on Thatch of Sleeping Oregon Photographer. Pho-tographer. Ernest J. Bloom, a photographer of Mood River, Ore., who has been passing the last two weeks at the ranch of R. E. Scott, secretary of the Commercial club, returned home with a portion of his hair gone. Mr. Bloom had been working in the garden and making a lawn on the anch. He was taking a nap after lunch when a squirrel that had been -lahiiig its home in the house this winter, evidently thinking his long tilack locks would make an excellent Ining for a nest, trimmed off a portion por-tion of the hair while he slept. "The rodent's teeth must have been sharp," says the photographer, "for I could scarcely feel him at work there cutting away the hair. I must have moved in my sleep and in his excitement excite-ment he evidently pulled some of the hairs out instead of cutting them. This awoke me and I let out a yell that almost frightened the squirrel to Jeath." Portland Oregonian. |
