pood , gray old Quaker , who runs the
grist mill , as "Uncle Willie" Dunn , but

as William Dunn Rogers.

1 \ ' VSeverity-two years old he looks 65 ,
"
and is1"broad shouldered , sturdy and
? square jawed , and , If there is anything
V " . in physiognomy , stubborn to a degree.

- His ke'enXgray eyes are clear and
shrewd , and his thick shock of hair is
just streaked with white. He looks
, like a man who generally accomplishes

'do not belie him , for , lo ! he is about

years ago , and who has capitulated to
the pleadings of'Uncle Willie" to "stop

the opposition of his son-in-law , and
the wigwagging heads of some of the
elders , who opine that "Friend William
Sad better , at his age , be thinking of
something besides taking to himself a
second wife. "
The object of Rogers' affection is
Miss Lydia R. Lippincott , youngest of
the maiden sisters who jointly own a
fine old colonial mansion and a farm
of broad acres in the center of Fel
lowship , a quaint Quaker settlement
three miles from Moorestown. The
house stands at the crossroads , great
, ! and rambling , with big pillars support
ing the overhanging roof which meets
the second story. You could drive a
coach through Ehe front door , but it is
. never opened , for the great parlor is
used only for funerals and grave and

You must rap at the side door , at

room set with furniture a century old ,
a room as big as a city house. Here
Miss Lydia received the reporter , while
her elder sisters giggled in the dining
room adjoining.
Miss Lydia Is 70 , a pleasant-faced
little lady of rather less than medi
um height and spare figure. Her dark
"Brown hair is streaked with gray , but
she is alert , bright , active and decisive
as a "schoolma'am. " She says every
thing with a snap. Her sisters , Miss
* . A PLAGUE OF JACK RABBITS ,
Lincoln , Neb. ( Special. ) Farmers of
Nebraska will soon be called-upon to
declare a war of exte Knination upon
the jack rabits , which , during the past
* ummer , have multiplied with startling
sapidity. Throughout the central and
western portions of the , state the rab-
Bits are now classed with the pests of
the agriculturists who , in their trou
ble , have turned to the scientific de
partment of the state university for
advice.
' " Young fruit treesvines , winter wheat
' and cabbage are the favorite articles
of diet with the rabbits. A young or
chard Is a toothsome dainty , however ,
and two rabbits have been known to
girdle the trees in a ten-acre orchard
In a single night. Their sharp teeth
speedily strip the bark from the ten
der trees in a circle about six or eight
inches from the ground. This stops the
'rtfow 'r of sap and often the tree dies.
There is no country on the face 'of
the earth so barren that a jack rabbit
cannot find suitable forage * declares
the scientist. It is said that two or
three cactus leaves will maintain a full
grown rabbit if there is nothing else
to be had. But should the menu be
-extensive , the jack rabbit nibbles at
this and that , never failing to sample
She choicest fruit trees and the most
expensive vines.
Last * summer was extremely dry , and
this is' the most favorable condition for
prolific breeding of rabbits. The ani
mals hollow out a shallow nest , shel
tered by a bush , tuft of grass or a
small hillock. This den is lined with
iur from the body of the mother. As
soon as the litter , usually numbering
from three to eight little rabbits , is
ensconced in the nest the parents seek
tender shoots and leaves and bring
them to the offspring. A wandering
coyote or a heavy rain are the only
two enemies of the jack rabbits. The
ibrmer is. almost extinct In Nebraska
and there were no showers during' the
. " summer season , so fromthree to eight
' litters were bred by each female rabbit
In the period from April to September.
j , From seven to eight years is the av-
ierage life , of the jack rabbit. They
give birth to young at the age of six
months. A litter usually" stays with
the mother about three weeks.
! 'At present California is the banner
state for jack rabbits. Idaho ranks
next , with Colorado , Nebraska and
"Wyoming neck and neck for third
place. In one county of Idaho the
Ifcrantles paid , for rabbit scalps have
amounted to fully $30,000. As an in
dex to the damage they are capable
of doing , it Is said that 4n Tulare coun
ty , California , fruit trees and vines to
the value of $600,000 were destroyed in-
aide of three months.
Bounties are paid for scalps in seven
jrtates and territories. In nearly every
' "place the sums paid are constantly in-
reaslng , while the same fact is true
C the number of rabbits.
"The jack rabbit has become the

Loriana and MissT Emma , are respect
ively xandy76. . They keep an ancient ,
, wrinkled retainer , who superintends
the farm , assisted by * his son , a y/luth
'of 60. . .
Miss Lydia declined to discuss her
Impending marriage , saying"What
ever Friend Willie Dunn may tell to
thee , I tell to thee.I have no control
over his actions. Go thou to him. "
And her eyes snapped 'merrily , ' and
the trace of a smile curled the corners
of her pleasant mouth.
William Dunn Rogers worked on his
father's farm near Fellowship and
"payed put his time" with honest serv
ice to his parent. , A mile to the north
lived Lydia Lippincott ; a mile to the
j south lived yet another Lydia Llppln
cott , engaging Quaken maidens , but in
no wise related. Young "Willie Dunn"
admired both , and spent evenings visit
ing at the two farmhouses. For the
hand of Lydia R. he proposed again
and again. . But the girl was in no
hurry.She was the petted member of
the family and preferred her home.
Willie Dunn's square jaw permitted
no thought of a surrender. If he
couldn't marry Lydia R , he would
marry plain Lydia. Ttie latter accept
ed and the wedding took place. That
was 50 years ago. Three years ago
Mrs. Rogers died , leaving a daughter ,
now married to Ellwood Hollinshead , a
prominent young Quaker of Moores
town-partner in the mill.
The old man was lonely. He went
to live at the "Old Falks Home , " a
| stately Quaker boarding house on the
main street. Sometimes , to kill time ,
the old man hitched up his horse and
drove out to Fellowship. Miss Lydia
R. had never married. Neither had
her sisters. They lived happy , content
ed , thrifty lives 4n .the old manor
house.
Famous dinners were served to old
Friend William on these First Day
reunions. He grew more and more
lonely , and finally he renewed his seige
of the heart of Miss Lydia , and she
Telented. The bans1 were published ;
that is , the brethren and sisters were
informed that William a'nd Lydia had
agreed to marry. At tne end of the
month's' probation , the meeting will
determine whether or not it be meet
and proper that William Dunn Rogers ,
widower , and Lydia R. Lippincott ,
spinster , shall become husband and
wife.
In the fullness of his joy recently ,
Uncle Willie Dunn remarked to a
friend : "God's will is best , no doubt ;
but had I married Lydia R. long ago
I wouldn't have to do it now , would
I ? "

main rural pest in Nebraska , " said
Prof. Lawrence Bruner of the entomo
logical department of Nebraska uni
versity. "Unlike most wild animals ,
the rabbits thrive and increase in num
ber faster in civilized sections of the
community. "Herbage , vegetables and
young forest afford them shelter and
food , while the number killed is insig
nificant when compared to the rapid
increase each year. "
Nebraska jack rabbits are members
of two species the lepus campestris ,
and the lepus macrotologus. Colloqui
ally they are known as the white and
black tailed rabbits. The former va
riety becomes white during the winter
season and dusky gray during the sum
mer.
mer.Now
Now and then there is an epidemic
among the rabbits which thins their
ranks. The disease resembles chicken
cholera. In Australia scientific men
have tried to disseminate the disease
by means of inoculation , but have been
only partially successful. In Nebras
ka experiments will be made in this
line , but farmers who have tried sim
ilar experiments on chinch bugs have
little hope of ultimate success. The
"drive" so far seems the best method
of keeping down the pest.
The stockholders of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing company of St. Louis
have presented to Adolphus Busch , the
president of that company , a magnifi-

the finest car ever turned out by the
Pullman shops. Its furnishings are-
most elaborate. The finishings are in
English oak , mahogany and golden
oak. Gold trimming is used through
out. It has all the most approved ap
pliances , including an electric "plant ,
and electric fans are distributed all
throughout the compartments. The
car measures eighty feet over all and is
the largest car ever built by the com
pany. It contains a dining room 12x9
feet , six sleeping compartments , an
office and an observation room , in ad
dition to a bathroom and kitchen.
„
There are sleeping accommodations for
eleven persons , exclusive of the crew
of three , each with a separate berth.
The private office for Mr. Busch , in
which there is a handsome desk , is
conected by telephone with other parts

I STORY OP A LOST PAINTING ,
\ One day , as .the celebrated p'ainter
; Rubens , , _ was visiting'the temples o :
JMadrid , . accompanied by .his famous
pupils , he entered the church of ai
humble convent , .the name o whict
*
.tradition does not/give us .
Theer was little or nothing in this
poor , dismantled church to interest tht
illustrious artist , and he 'was about t <
leave in search of something . better
P. rtv- * ,
when he discovered , half hidden in the
shadow of a chapel room , a picture
before which he stood transfixed , , witl
amazement depicted on his face , t \
'
"What is it , master ? " asked his pu
pils , as they all gathered about him
"What have you found ? "
"Look , " said Rubens , pointing to the
picture for answer.
The picture was representing the
death of a young man of fine form and
handsome features , and who evidently
had been "suffering penance. He lay
upon the bricked floor of his cell , his
eyes uplifted , and pressing close to his
heart a crucifix made of wood and
copper. To all appearances he had
left his couch that he might die with
more humility upon the hard floor.
Near the couch , and suspended from
the wall of the cell , was the picture of
a young and beautiful woman. She
was reposing in a casket which was
shrouded in heavy black tapestries.and
at the head and foot of the casket were
lighted wax tapers.
No one could have looked on these
two scenes without comprehending at
once that the one explained the other ,
each was complete in the other. An
unfortunate love , a dead woman , a
disappointed life , an eternal , forgetful-
ness of the world , these were the de
ductions from the mysteriousN drama
so vividly portrayed upon the canvas.
As for the color , the drawing , the com
position , all revealed a genius of the
highest order.
"Master , whose is this magnificent
work ? " asked Rubens' pupils , who also
had been admiring the picture.
"In this corner a name has been
written , " replied the master , "but it
appears to have been erased , within
a few months , perhaps. In regard to
the painting , I should say it is not
over thirty years old , nor less than
twenty. "
"But the author "
"The author , according to the merit
of the picture , 'might be a Velasquez ,
Zurbaran , Ribera or Murillo ; but Ve
lasquez does not feel in this mood ,
neither does Zurbaran. Still'less , can
it be attributed to Ribera or Murillo.
It is not of the school of either one.
In fact , I do not know the author of
this picture , and I could swear that
I have never seen another by this
same artist. I go still farther. I be
lieve that the unknown painter who
has bequeathed to the world this sub
lime work does not belong to any-
school , neither has he painted , perhaps ,
any other picture than this. This is a
work of pure inspiration , of one's own
personal affair , a reflex of the soul , a
portrait of the life. What immense
genius there is in it ! Do you want to
know who has painted this picture ?
The young man you see in it lying
dead on the floor has painted it. "
"Now , master , you are joking. "
"No , I know what I'm. saying. "
"But how can you conceive a dead
person being able to paint his life ? "
"By conceiving that a living person
is able to paint his death. "
"You believe this ? "
"I believe that that woman lying in
the casket was the soul 'and the life
of this dead young friar. I believe that
when she died he believed himself dead '
also , and died effectively to the world. '
I believe , in short , that this work'rep
resents the profession of * its hero , or
author , which undoubtedly is the same
person ; the profession of a young
man no longer deceived by the allure-
ments of life. We must find out about
this artist , and ascertain if he has ex
ecuted other works , " and on saying I
this Rubens directed his steps toward \
a friar who was praying at the altar , J
and said tohim with his customary
freedom :
' "Will you say to the father prior
that I wish to speak to him on the
part of the king. "
The friar , who was somewhat ad
vanced in years , rose slowly from his
knees , and said in an humble , trem
bling voice , "What do you wish of me ,
I am the" prior. "
"Pardon me , father , for interrupting
you in your devotions , " replied Ru
bens. "Can you tell me who is the
author of this picture ? "
"Of that picture ? " replied the man
of God. "I do not remember it. "
"What ! You have known it and for
gotten it. "
"Yes , my son , I have forgotten it' '
completely. "
"Then , father , " said Rubens , sneer-
ingly , "you must have a very poor
memory. "
The friar was about to kneel again.
"I come in the name of the king , "
continued Rubens , raising his voice.
"What more do you wish , my broth
er , " murmured the friar , slowly turn
ing his head.
"To buy this picture. "
"That picture is not for sale. "
"Well , then , I want to know where 1
can find its author. "
"That is impossible. Its author is
no longer in the world/ '
"Is dead ! " exclaimed Rubens , de
spairingly , "and nobody has known
him , and his name his forgotten. His
name , that ought to be immortal ! His
name , that would have eclipsed mine !
STes , mine ! Father , " added the artist
tvlth noble pride , "I am Pedro Pablo
Rubens. "
At this name the pallid countenance
of the prior suddenly flushed , his eyes
brightened , and he looked into the face
of the"artist with as much veneration
as surprise.
"Ah , you know jneexclaimed Ru
bens with childish satisfaction.--/'Thai
*
jmakes " me happy. You f will be less
prior and friar with me now. Come
will you sell me the picture ? "
"That is Impossible. "
"Very well ; do you know of anj
other picture of this unfortunate geni
us ? ' Can't you remember his name
Will , you , tell rme .whence died ? "
* * , jf " * " * r
"You have not understood me cor
rectly " replied the father. "I have
saidthat . the author is .no longer ir
theAvorld , . but that is not saying thai
he * may have 'died. "
"Oh , he is living then ! he's living ! '
exclaimed all the painters. ; "Let us
know him. "
"For what ? The unhappy , man has
renounced the world. He has nothing
to do with it nothing"
"Oh , " said Rubens , greatly excited ,
"that must not be. When God gives tc
a soul the sacred fire of genius , it is
not for that soul to bury itself in ob
scurity , but it should fulfill its sub
lime mission in illuminating the souls
of other men. Tell me the monastery
where this great artist has concealed
himself , and I will seek him out and
return him to society. Oh , what glory
awaits him ! "
"But if he refuses , " asked the prior ,
timidly. "
"If he refuses , I will .apply to the
pope , who honors me with his friend
ship. The pope will convince him bet
ter than I. "
"The pope ! " exclaimed the father.
"Yes , father , the pope , " repeated Ru
bens.
"Not for the pope would I tell yon
the name of the painter were I to re
member it. Not for the pope would I
tell you in what convent he has taken
refuge. "
"Well , then , father , the king and the
pope will make you tell , " replied Ru
bens , now exasperated.
"Oh , you will not do that.1" exclaimed
the friar.
"You would do a very wrong thing ,
.Mr. Rubens. Take the picture if you
wish it , but leave its author In peace.
I tell you In the name of Go'd that I
have known this great man , as you
call him. I call him an unfortunate
and blind mortal. Yes , I have known
him , I have loved him , I have con
soled him , I have redeemed him , I
have saved him from the waves of so
ciety ; forgotten yesterday of God , to
day nearer to supreme happiness. Oh ,
the glory r Do you know anything that
Is greater than that to which he may
aspire ? By what right would you re
new In hfs soul the fires for the van
ities of this world when now his heart
glows with love and peace and char
ity ? Don't you believe that this man
before leaving the world , before re
nouncing , fortune , fame , power , youth-
and love , all that makes life so allur
ing , that fills with pride the human
heart don't you believe , my friend ,
that there was a rude and mighty con
flict going on In his soul , and would
you now return him to the struggle
when he has already triumphed ? And
would you have him suffer again the
disappointments , the pains and the
bitterness of all these human beings ? "
"But that is not to renounce immor
tality , " said Rubens. "It is to aspire
to "it , my brother. "
"And by what right do you inter
pose between this man and the world.
Let him speak and decide for him
self. "
"I do it by the right of an elder
brother , a master , a father. I am all
this to him. I do it in the name of
God. Respect it , for the good of your
soul. " After saying this , he covered
his head with his cap and removed to
the farther part of the temple. "Let
us go , " said Rubens , addressing the
young men. "I know what I'm going
to do , "
"Master , " exclaimed one of the pu
pils , who during the conversation had
been looking alternately at the canvas
and then at the " '
father , "don't you
think , as I do , that that old friar re
sembles very strongly the young man
that dies in this , picture ? "
"Hush ! then it is true , " they all ex
claimed , and while the truth was
dawning upon them , they looked at
each other in silence.
"Efface 'the wrinkles , remove the
beard , add the thirty years that the
picture represents , and it will prove
that our master was right when he
said that the dead friar was at the
samejtime the likeness and the work of
a. living friar. Well , now , may God
confound meif that living friar is
not the father prior ! "
Rubens , ashamed and deeply affect
ed , made has e to follow in the direc
tion of the old man , who saluted him ,
crossing his arms upon his breast ,
and then disappeared. "Yes , it is true , "
muttered the artist , returning to his
pupils , "let us go , that man was right
tiis glory is worth more than mine.
Let him die in peace ! " And taking a
last look at the wonderful painting
he left the convent. Three days after
tie returned in search of the picture ,
with the object of securing a copy , but
It had disappeared. Instead , a requiem
mass was being celebrated , and draw
ing near to where the body lay , that
tie might loolr on the face of the de
parted , he saw that it was the father
prior.
Reverently he stood by the bier , gaz
ing tenderly on the features , so calm
and beautiful in death. "A great paint
er , he was , " said Rubens , on turning
away , "a great and glorious painter. "

sobriety in the cottage.
