Rabbit Shoots a Man.


rabbit reversed the situation near
Lebanon, Pa, yesterday. and
almost killed a man. The weapon
used was a pistol. The affair began
in the usual way, it is perhaps need
less to state. The man vas hunting
the rabbit. No properly educated
rabbit ever arms itself with a pistol
and starts out to hunt a man. 1t
generally betakes itself to the coppice
and leaves the man to do the hunting.
In this case the man was unfortunate
enough to come up with bunny early
in the game and the animal must
have turned upon him, as the proverb
says even a worm will if you step on
its tail once too often.
And when this particular rabbit
turned upon this particular hun
ter and made faces at him he be-
came so frightened that he couldn't
pull the trigger. In his desperation,
and probably fearing that the rabbit
might leap upon, he seized the pistol
by the barrel and fired it literally at
the ferocious creature. Whether the
rabbit caught the weapon on the fly,
took deliberate aim and shot the man.
or the weapon hit the ground and ex-
ploded from the force of the concus-
sion, will never be known, for the
hunter was too much excited to
remember, even if he knew, how it
happened, and the rabbit preserves
a malicious and undignified silence on
the subject. Several Press reporters
who claim to have seen the rabbit in
the woods-one of them was the gem
tleman who interviewed General
Sewell when he was still 300 miles out
side of Sandy Hook, so that there was
plenty of ability on the case-say the
bloodthirsty rabbit refused to say a
word about the matter. But. how
ever, it happened the pistol went OIL
and the man was shot in the neck.
This is literally true. There was no
pocket pistol business about it.
Twelve shots entered the mans neck,
several of them penetrating the
larynx, so that his injuries are pain
full. In this respect it is a rather Sc
rious affair, though its ludicrous fea-
lures are most readily apparent. or
all the harmless, ~inoffensive creatures
in the world the rabbit certainly leads
in the race. But in view of the affair
at Lebanon yesterday there will have
to be added to the famous recipe OF
Mrs. Glass, first catch your hare"
the equally important annex, "be
sure that he is non-combative." And
even in that event, don't be foolish
enough to provide him with a pistol.

her husbands body, went outside and
got the board herself and stretched 1T
upon the chairs beside the bed. The
girl had such a horror of death that
she could not be induced to come into
the room to help her to lay her hus-
band on the plank.
She did it alone, and when all was
composed she went to her children
told them that their father was dead,
explained to them as we'll as she could
what death meant, took them. in and
showed them their fathers face.
They all kissed him and knelt and
prayed beside him. The day wore
along. and a great storm came upon
the lake, SO that it was impossible for
the man to return.
1t had always been understood that
two signal fires meant that she needed
help, SO as the night came down she
went and lighted those fires and then
took up her watch beside her dead.
At intervals through the night she
would go and %replenish the fires, and
SO the watch went on till daylight.
All that day passed away. At night
she renewed the fires, and finally at
great peril the man reached the island
at ten o'clock at night. There was no
possibility to return to get the casket,
so the poor woman told the man that
he must from the boards of the place
make the best box he could. The
man helplessly said he could not. but
she encouraged him and told him she
would help him. So the box was
made. From the best material she
had in the house she, with her W
hands, lined the box and fixed II pill
low for the sleeper's head. That COM
pleted. the man dug the grave. The
only service for the dead was by the
wife aud little children kneeling
around the coffin before it was moved
from the house and praying. But
then, what other service was needed?
As best they could they got the box
to the grave the man drove stakes on
one side OF the grave and tied ropes
to them, and that woman and that
man lowered the body into the grave.
Then she went back to take care of
her children. The storm was SO furi-
Gus on the lake that it was a week be-
fore she could take her children and
leave the island.
What she endured through that
Saturday, that Saturday night, that
Sunday and that Sunday night no
one knows, no one can imagine. She
did not shed a tear, she has not shed
a tear since; she says very calmly
that she never anticipated life without
her husband, but that now her chill
dren need what strength she has got.
And ..she speaks of what she did as
nothing at all.
She says it was a pleasure to her to
do the la t. office; it is very much
sweeter for her to think of than it
would be to think that it was per-
formed by some one who might have
been less tender in his touch than
she.
And that was by a little oma who
never knew what work was or what
isolation meant; who knew nothing
at all about the rougher side of life
until she gave her heart up to her
husband and thenceforth lived only
for him.

An impromptu experiment, however,
in a subsequent year, proved most in
structive. We perceive some OF our
contemporaries are blaming the Royal
Horticultural Society for not taking
up the subject; but it must be remem-

she dipped tallow candles, to light the housi

oven. Yes; and when she was forty years OF
age, she was already an old lady whose besi

her joints enlarged by hard work, and shs
wore spectacles and cap.

It has already been ascertained that the

the onslaught was g. brutal one. The
Chilians were all armed with knives and
pistols whereas the Americans had but

ANGLoMANlAc DRESS THEORY.
The Expressed Views Of an Uptown
Swell of New York

The Expressed Views Of an Uptown
Swell of New York.
One Of the uptown swells has been
unbosoming himself to me in theory
about dress.
"Letme call your attention" said
the swell, "to the way an American
man is liable to look. He dresses
himself within an inch of his life, laying
the greatest stress upon each detail in
fussy, womanish kind OF a way,
trimming and polishing himself down
until he looks like a fashion-plate.
Not a wrinkle in his coat, and his
trousers resting upon his shoes with
scarcely a drapery linein them: Every
thing is so stiff and perfect that you
think of the clothes first and the man,
if there is any, afterwards.
'Now, this is not a desirable thing.
You don't want to look like tailor's
automaton, although it's mighty nice
thing, you know, to have the fellows
struck on your clothes and always
asking who your tailor is and all that.
But here's the way the Engishman
feels about it: He says to himself, I
must look superior to my clothes. 1
cannot have people thinking OF my
clothes first and me afterwards, be-
cause am more important than my
clothes.'
"Thus the Englishman sets about
curing this condition. What does he
do? Why he refuses to let his clothes
fit him. That is to say, he insists
that he shall not be incased in q hard
fitting coat. He breaks the conform
itytby Introducing wrinkle or so. He
likes to turn up his trousers because
it destroys that offensive stiffness of
the contour. You saw how heinvent-
ed the sack overcoat. Some people
who want glove fitting thing have
called that kind of q coat ugly. But
do you notice that q man in such O.
coat looks as if he was somebody? He
looks at once as if he were superior to
his clothes. That's the point. Take
my word for it, the Englishman has
the only correct theory about clothes
You must have that touch of negli-
gence, don'tyou know. Great theory"
