The El aslve Jack Rabbit.
The jack rabbit is a nrairie institu
tion that gives the settlers' dogs plenty
of exerciseJ When the settler sees a jack
rabbit for the first time-starts him up
suddenly on the prairies he imagines
that by a quick movement he can flay
bis hands on bin). The rabbit is awk
ward, appears to be lame in every joint,
holds up ono foot as though it pained
him and altogether creates the . belief
that he is a dilapidated wreck of an un
gainly animate thing! ' The settler is
surprised that he cannot grab him. The
settler's dog also is confident ' that he
can quickly make an end of the rabbit
He ' bristles, runs leisurely toward the
rabbit, doubles his speed, doubles it
again, triples that, quadruples" '.the
whole, when lo, the rabbit disappears.
There is some flying grass, a vanishing
streak or light, l a twinkling of two
prodded feet extended rearward, and he
is gone. The dog aits on his haunches
and concludes that it was a dream and
that he did not see a rabbit at alL

his 8-y earmold son had' committed an
act of Insubordination and threatened
to repeat r It ? Rebukes and ' warnings
were In vain, and at last the youngster
was given a found spanking. Half an
hour later, after friendly relations had
been resumed, an older son came home
and was somewhat surprised when the
