In Indianapolis squirrels proliferate in parks and lawns showing little fear of people and even boys feeding them. The hardy Chesarees, born last April, form urban colonies while tunneling and foraging daily. A humorous note relates an English foxhound master scolding a rider at a meet, asking for tags on two dogs for safety.

In the pre Civil War era a West Point officer, Captain H-, refuses to resign his federal commission to join his state. Pressured by southern colleagues to choose a state, he notes he has no state of birth, born in the District of Columbia and at sea, and declares he will stand by the old flag.

Head Pierced by a Bullet at Chicago Grand Army Headquar
The account recalls James Buggie, assistant custodian at Chicago Grand Army headquarters, who narrowly survived three Confederate bullets before age sixteen. He describes service with the 64th Alabama, injuries at Resaca, Kenesaw, and Atlanta, a near-fatal head wound, and a doctor offering water after the explosion.

In Canada the tightening money period is a bank stock-taking, not hardship. Finance Minister W T White reports fiscal year results show revenue around 168.26 million dollars, up over 32 million from 1911-12, with most gains from customs and other sources. The government notes reduced debt by 23 million and strong Dominion credit amid global stringency.
