The Old and the Aem.
The old-fashioned way of hunting Jack
rabbit was for several hunters to go out
In two big lumber wagon. The wagon
would be connected with a piece of wire
about 200 feet long. This wire dragging
over the ground between the wagon would
tlr the Jack rabbits up and the hunter
walking behind the wire would ahoot them.
It was not an uncommon thing for a bunch
of hunters to bring hi two wagonload of
Jack rabbit as a result of one day' hunt.
The rabbits were sold to a rabbit cajinaiy
and worked up Into canned stuffs for east
ern markets. This Is the way rabbit ar.
still hunted for the tanneries. But the
true sportsmen, who go out for the fun of
the thing, have a new plan now. They
stay in the auto and snare the rabbit with
a wire loop. Kansaa City Journal.

NEEDFUL CAR ACCESSORIES
Things the Motorist Should Have to
Keep on the Safe Side of
the Road.
There are a giWt many automobile ac
cessories the existence of which ha only
to be brought to the owner's eye to Indue
him to us them. Amongst them are num
bered, too, things that the motorist should
have that Insure his own safety In addi
tion to that of those whom he meets on
the road.
For Instance, there la on the market
an adjustable mirror, which enables one
to have an accurate view to the rear of
350x66 feet. A simple convex glass there Is
nothing complicated about It, yet there are
momenta when one wondera how one ever
did without It. There are, however, many
people who are doing without it because
they have never heard of It.
Again, how frequent are the complaints
of ownera that their car are used without
their knowledge. A device Is now on the
market, however, which make undetected
"Joy rides" Impossible. This stopping of
Illicit spins means a great saving not only
in gasoline, biit alao In repairs. The
mechanism is very simple; the dial I di
vided Into 100 divisions, and each hour's
run will caue the hand to vibrate a cer
tain number of points forward. Thus in
struments, of course, are high priced, but
they sometimes pay for themselves In a
very short time.
There aro a number of American and im
ported horns on the market now, which,
If only asthetlcally, have a decided ad
vantage over the old "honk-honk." Their
cost ranges In proportion to their site,
and consequently the owner of a small
machine can pay the moderate price de
manded for a horn o suit his automobile.
For the man who use an eetylne
lamp, there la nothing more useful than
the modern ga tank. The tanks contain,
acoordlng to six and price, from thirty to
seventy feet of gas. and need recharging
o aeldom that the bother of carbide, etc.,
seem to be done away wtlh almost en
tirely. The Initial cost of the tanks la high
(about SO), but the cost of recharging I
only V-
On tha earn principle la the compressed
air tank for Influtlng tires. When full, It
contains enough air to fill fifteen tubes
and 1 no trouble at all ti ha'ndle or attach.
A pressure gauge should be attached to It.
All tlr give better returns whn pumped
to the right pr.nsur; moat good tlr hav
a special presaure recommended, a, for
Instance, seventy pound for the front tire
and eighty for the rear. The figure
are only an example, however. If tha
owner does not know what la the right
pressure, he should consult hla manufac
turer. A gasoline gauge la a device that la
worth attaching to the tank of your ear,
and In your garage; there there la no
danger of 'running abort. With thla, the
same rule should be observed a with a
speedometer get one with an open, face,
which can be een clearly, or le on is
apt to overlook Ita existence.
These are a few among many mechan
ical devices for lessening the discomfort of
the road, and there are many mora which
have luxury alone fw their Ideal. Tha
latter, however, can be dispensed with;
the former should be In th possession of
every automobilh-t Country Ufa In America.
HUNTING WITH MOTOR CAR
portron on Weatern Fralrle.
Eqalpped with Modern
Appliances.
Th automobile Is revolutionising the
method of hunting wild game In wetrn
Kanas. No tru.- sportsman now start on
tny kind of a hunt out there without aus,
auto. The old way of hunting from a two
horse spring wagon is entirely too alow
now.
A wolf hunt under the new phui la the
most exciting of all. One man rung tha
auto and another does the shooting. A nia
chine can run mile and mile on tha open
prairie of the warn without coming In con
tact with a fence oi a creek. When a wolf,
or a coyote, as they ar called out there,
is scared up the auto takes after him. Now
a wolf runs In an easy circle. Ha doesn't
dodge back and forth. 6o It la compara
tively easy for tha driver to keep right be
hind him. Hut the, auto must go aome. A
coyote can knock ff thirty mil an hour
with ease. A few day ago some Garden
City hunters ran down a coyote and killed
him with the whuels. That wa considered
a great hunting feat.
When hunters used to chas coyotes on
horses and with dogs, there waa never a
record of where they drove the coyotes to
their dens. But It Is different with autus.
Coyotes ruy until they are about to be
taken lit and then mak for their dena. In
order to "smoke them out" the driver at
taches a rubber tube to th gaa tank of
hi car and run the other end down tn
the hoi. That soon brlnga th eoyot out.
And tha race Is again resumed until toe
animal la bagged.
Auto make good blind for wild duck
hooting, and th.y also enable eport.men lo
follow up a flock of ducks from one pond
or slough to another. Frequently the hunt
er will take out after a flock of duck aud
bag several of them before 'they gat out of
rang from th auto. Kansas City Journal
