As I was several miles out in the coun-
try, riding horseback from Pomona to
Etiwanda, I saw jack rabbit standing
still only a few feet from the road. I
drove up close to the animal. which still
refused TO scamper away. On the con-
trary, the rabbit stood or sat tsansfxed
to the spot, though making a constant
nervous, shuddering motion, as if anx-
ious to get away, but at the same time
being held to the spot. Twas surprised
that the rabbit did not fee at the ap-
proach Of myself and horse. and when
looked a Little sharper sew large rat
tlesnake coiled up nnder some bushes,
his head uplifted, about six feet from the
rabbit.
l shall never forget the scene. The
rabbit was looking with indescribable
eagerness straight at the slowly ap-
preaching snake and needed nothing
else. I disrnouated. and seizing long
stick by force pushed the rabbit away,
when the snake instantly swelled with
rage and sounded its rattles. wounded
the snake and then dispatched it. The
rabbit for a second or two seemed be-
numbed and was hardly capable of mo-
ton. That was over quickly, and the
animal hoped away.-Pomona Prog

She Fed the Dog,

An awfu1ly swagger girl came into an
up town drug store the other day. She
led a tiny pug by a slender silver chain.
Her hat was all a-bloom with purple
flowers, and an Alsatian bow of purple
ribbon was tied about puggie's neck SO
big as to give the impression that there
was more bow than dog.
Milady seated herself on stool in
front Of the soda fountain and tenderly
lifted his small canineship to another
seat beside her. The order was given
for chocolate ice cream soda. When it
was served, this rather remarkable
young woman conveyed teaspoonful Of
the cream first to her own lips and then
to puggie's. This process was repeated
until not a drop was left.
It developed during this interesting
episode that the dogs name was Mig,
and to see Mig blink his eyes and lick
his small chops was very funny indeed.
"UghP' exclaimed matter Of fact

put that spoon back in her mouth after

But Mig only blinked the more know

RoUs PLAsTERs as an external remedy has in
duced INSCRIPTIONS parties to offer limitations,
which they endeayor to sell on the reputation
of ALLoocK's. 1t is an absurdity to speak of
them in the same category as the genuine po-
rous plaster. Their pretensions are I'M
founded, their Wanted merit unsupported by
facts their alleged superiority to or equality
with ALLcooK's false pretense.
The ablest practitioners and chemists and
thousands OF grateful patients unite in declar-
ing ALLCoCKs POROUS PLAsTERs the best
external remedy ever produced.
Beware of limitations, and do not be deceived
by Misrepresentation. Askfor ALLCoCK's, and
