the great questions touching Catholics

carefully. Cardinal Gibbons is expected
to express an opinion on all questions sub

Pathetic Hlustration of the
Animal Affection.
{Atlanta Constitutien
Three years ago Mr. Jacob Gardner, of
Bull street, sold a lady a large, black squir-
rel, which had attracted considerable at
tention while at his store, on account of its
unusual size and the beauty of its coat.
The animal became the favorite pet of its
purchaser, agd was often given the free
dom of the house, and other liberties not
often by its kind when in
captivity were extended to it Ocoasion.
ally the chatterer left the premises but,
never failed to return when night ap.
proached. It was the object of almost
constant petting and caressing, and nearly
always slept snuggled up in the arms of
its mistress. A Tew days ago the owner
left the city for a few days, leaving the
squirrel at home. The little animal soon
missed her, and ran from room Ww room,
all over the house and grounds, in search
of her, giving unmistakable evidence of
grief. All efforts at consolation on the
part of others we unavailing, and the
squirrel refused vither to be comforted or
to partake of food, from time to time giv.
ing vent to pitiful little cries indicative of
grief.
After nearly a week had elapsed and it
became evident that the little sorrower's
death was a matter of only a fow days, the
owner was notified and returned howe.
Her arrival was greeted with evidences of
wild joy by the squirrel, which jumped into
hor arms with all the signs of happiness
that its weakened condition would permit.
It made every offort to partake of the
wmpting food placed before it, but was un.

with its oyes turned almost pitifully lute
