Show SQUIRRELS IN CAPITOL GROUNDS. There are lots of squirrels in the capitol grounds Jn Washington, and the pretty little things have lost their fear of their natural enemy, man, because, of course, they are protected from destruction as far as mad-made rules will do this. The children in the parks play with them very gently and not infrequently these small creatures in their search for something to eat will run up a man's trousers leg and then there is a circus, but one of them broke into the United States capitol the other day. He got in on the senate side into the marble room and perched himself on the weather instruments which are handled by Mr. Jones. What that small creature did to the set of astronomical instruments instru-ments was a plenty. He was finally chased out, running down the elevator ele-vator shaft all by-himself. |
