8hootlng Jack Rabbits
uJnck rabbits in Kansas are just as
numerous as they were the day the
first covered wagon moved across 11
toward the Rocky mountains said c
Kansas farmer It appears to m
they are galloping around in greatc
numbers than ever Did you ever tr
to exterminate a Jack rabbit If yoi
net er did youve something to learn
about shooting
k Jack rabbits movement starts
with a spring In the air He lani
on all fours and the Intervening space
from the time be Jumps and the time
he lghts Is just about nothing but he
covers from ten to fifteen feet with
every jump Theres only one way to
tatce em alive and that Is to leave the
top off a pasture well overnight Next
morning therell be plenty because
JacK rabbits will jump Into any kind
of a hole thats open They seem to
have a fondness for dried out wells
They outrun the average dog with
ease but cant beat the greyhound
Shooting them on the run Is as diffi
cult as shooting birds on the wing
possibly more difficult Possibly 2500C
are killed In Kansas every year and
yet bey seem just as numerous as
ever St Paul Dispatch
A Dr Johnson Story
Dr Johnson had some Ideas on edu
cation especially on that diversion
known as learning a piece by heart
One day Mrs Gastrel set a little girl
to repeat to him Catos soliloquy
which she went through very correct
ly The doctor after a pause asked
tli child What was to bring Cato
to in end She said It was a knife
No ray dear It was not so My
Aunt Polly said it was a knife
Why Aunt Pollys knife may do but
It was a dagger my dear He then
asked her the meaning of bane and
aiiidote which she was unable to
glv e Mrs Gastrel said You cannot
expect so young a child to know the
menaing of such words He theu
salil My dear how many peuce are
there in sixpence I cannot tell
sir was the half terrified reply On
this addressing himself to Mrs Gas
trel he said Now my dear lady can
anything be more ridiculous than to
teach a child Catos soliloquy who
does not know how many pence there
are In sixpence
Pepys and the Comet
Tltey were watching a comet In

the bellman tells him that the star is
seen Vipon Tower hill so 1 that had

lea re off all and my boy and I to
the Tower hill it being a most tine
bright moonshine night and a great
frost but no comet to- be seen Later
the same day however Pepys saw
the comet which now whether worn
away or no 1 know not appears not
with a tail but only is larger and dull
er than any other star
The Geese Were Ducks
The following little incident took
place awhile ago at a Northeastern
station in Yorkshire
Some geese had strayed on the rail
way and were observed by a traveler
who fearing that they might be run
over said to one of the porters on the
platform
Who owns the geese my man
Thems Ducks the porter replied
Again the question was asked with
the same reply Somewhat annoyed
the traveler called the station master
and told him the story stating that he
full well knew the difference between
geese and ducks
The station master laughingly re
plied The man is quite right Those
geese are iuc s They belong to Mr
John Duel the farmer Londou Tit
