The Story of a Graysquirrel 



hickory's days are numbered. And fool- 

 ish man, who slays the Gray squirrel in his 

 reckless lust for killing, is also destroying 

 the precious hickory-trees, whose timber 

 is a mainstay of the nation-feeding agri- 

 culture of the world. He is like the fool 

 on a tree o'erhanging the abyss, who saws 

 the very limb on which depends his life.
