A Famous Election Eet.

Probably the most noted election bet was
that made by Ruel Gridley, OF Austin, New,
in 1862. He bet that he would beat his o.
ponent. The terms OF the wager demanded
that the loser should carry sack of -four
from lower to upper Austin. Gridley lost
and the day after election started ON his trip
accompanied by the entire population 0.
Austin The question arose as TO what dis
position should be made Of the flour, and
some ingenious individual suggested that i;
be sold at auction for the benefit of the west
ern sanitary commission. Gridley was auc-
tioneer, and the bag was knocked down for
$3.50. The purchaser declined to receive it,
and suggested that it be sold agaiH- The idea
took like wildtire and the bag was sold again
and again, and before night the sum of Sc, 600
had been realized. Gridley saw fame for
him and gold for the sick soldiers opening be
fore him
He entered heart and soul into the idea,
and he started with his now famous bag ct
-four on an expedition which immortalZed
himself and brought JOY and comfort to
thousands of suffering soldiers. His recep-
ton everywhere was like Roman triumph,
and the people, infected by the noble work,
We'd and struggled with each other in their
generous rivalry. Gridley sold his -four all
over the west, and finally exhibited it at the
great sanitary fair in St Louis Afterward
the ffbur was baked into small cakc' and sold
at high price. When the grand total was
added up it was found that Gridley's bet had
been the means Of adding more than $50 00O
to the funds of the western sanitary commits

THE TEXAS JACK RABBIT.
Cleaning Out the Farmers Pasture Lands.
Pleasures of the Chase.


Pleasures of the Chase.
The Jack rabbit is a native of Texas, Cali
sornia and some Of the western states. He
does not differ materially from other mem
bers of the rabbit family, except that there
is more of him. His mouth is not large. It
has not got the capacious shipper of the rhi-
noceros on the circus poster, or even the open
valise smile of the candidate for justice Of
the peace; but when it comes to graduating
grass the mouth of the jack rabbit can cause
the blush of envy to mantle the cheek of the
lawn mower. The great objection to the
jack rabbit is his proficiency in arithmetic.
He multiplies too rapidly. In a short time a
single pair will clean out a farmer as effect
ually as if he had bet too much on them at
poker They soon become SO numerous that
the prairie soon becomes as bald as state
ment Of fact, or the front row in the orcheS-
ira of a variety show.
The jack rabbit retires from circulation a
semi-adult bale of grass at each session, and
he is in perpetual session all night long. The
poor farmer is absolutely without protection.
He cannot bring all his grass indoors every
night, and vet if he leaves it out the jack
rabbits telescope mos of it before morning.
A few jack rabbits will distend their waste
baskets with as much grass as would support
a COW in afiuence If, in return for the
grass. the jack rabbit were like the cow, to
come up to the pen every evening and allow
the farmer to wrench few quarts of milk
to liquidate the bill, there would be entente
cordiale on tap between the honest farmer
and the jack rabbit; but, alasl how seldom
does the rabbit thus show his gratitude. lie
browses on the grass which should nourish
the farmers horse, and then when blowing
time comes he leaves the poor fabby horse
to tread the wine press alone.
Another popularity of the jack rabbit is
his speed. He viii squat down behind
bunch of grass as calm and irlmovable as a
man painting house by the day, but when
he sees danger ahead he whlzzes out Of sight
Ike dollar and half at church fair, or
he scoots away like a beautiful dream. He
blends with the horizon even as a compl-
nentary repast is merged into train load OF
hungry editorial eIcursioniSts. The ordinary
dog cannot overtake the jack rabbit even If
tired at him from q cannon But the I'M
ported English greyhound can overtake the
rabbit. Chasing jack rabbits over the level
pralries Of Texas is great sport. The hunters

If the horse stumbles or puts his foot in
prairie dog hole, it is difficult to say for
brief moment which is really the rider The
horse is a noble animal, but his place Is not
on the riders stomach. OF course the rider
does not suspend publication and GO out of the
business every time the horse falls. He usu-
ally ceases to regard coursing jack rabbits as
a paStime when the horse falls the first time

The Weary Newepaper Man.

The young man, in choosing a life wor'::,
rarely thinks of the incidentals that go with
it, Thus the tourist often compares the lot
of the average business man to that of the
worker in journalism. The latter is at high
tension all the time, certainly during the
business hours No matter what his depart
ment, if he is a conscientious worker, like
shadow the fear ever haunts him that rival
sheets may outdo him i'll enterprise. 1t is
almost impossible for him to throw off this
feeling. even in vacations, and it is not
strange the average life Of managing editors
on the great city journals is shortened by
their work. Again, newspaper man liter
ally knows no such thing as leaning back in
his chair, elevating his feet and contemplate
ing the blue deep sky Tin hours" After all
bis rounds the tourist sees business men, and
good ones, too, taking these occasional bits
of vacation, ard be is apt to be envious for
