Watch a chipmunk or any squirrel near at hand: as a friend of mine observed, he seems to be smelling with his whole body; his abdomen fairly palpitates with the effort. The coon knows when the corn is in the milk, gaining that knowledge, no doubt, through his nose.
"But can't we leave word at his house, and then be off?" "That would be a fool's trick, that would. Why, it would bring suspicion on us, and if he is a gone coon it's impossible, you know, almost but if he is, we should get scragged for it. Come, I didn't think you was so chicken-hearted, or I wouldn't have brought you out.
Willoughby could not ask a representative of good old Colonial Stock to ride around in a stingy Coupe with a Coon planted out on the Weather- Seat. He changed the Terms in several Leases and was enabled to slip her a hot Surprise on the Birthday.
They won't touch this tree," his mother told him. "It's an old tree, and hollow so they won't chop it down. It's only the good sound trees that they'll take." "But I thought this was a good tree."

When she came out of her revery and beheld them both watching, silent and open-mouthed, she flushed violently. Bertram Chester, swinging between the green rows, was whistling blithely: "Say coons have you ebber ebber seen ma Angeline? She am de swetes' swetes' coon you ebber seen." Every Sunday afternoon during the picking season, Mrs.
Everyone was there to see the race Striped Chipmunk, Happy Jack Squirrel, Sammy Jay, Blacky the Crow, Hooty the Owl and Bobby Coon all sat up in the old butternut tree where it was cool and shady. Johnny Chuck, Jerry Muskrat, Jimmy Skunk, Little Joe Otter, Grandfather Frog and even old Mr. Toad, were there. Last of all came Spotty the Turtle.
When we were goin' home on the street car, Maria says to me, sez she, 'Do you mind the fellow that sang the coon song? sez she.
There was a sudden rush through the branches of the tall tree. And Fatty Coon caught a hard blow on his head. He felt something sharp sink into his back, too.
