Max Garner, who lives near Greenup,
Ky. was terribly frightened when he
went to bed the other night. Some Of
the boys had placed several bologna
sausages between the sheets, and when
Max blew out the light and rolled in
upon them he imagined he had struck
a nest of snakes. He leaped out with a
terrific yell. and Immediately went into
spasms, from which It was thought at
last accounts he could not recover.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF FARM LIFE.

That the average farmers Ito is not
exactly bed of roses few will deny.
But that it has its bright side is not
TO be disputed. Among the advantages
held by the farmer over any other
laborine class may be mentioned his
independence. With his comfortable
dwelling, well filed barns and cellar,
the modern farmer is absolutely the
most independent of human beings.
Financial questions which the Nation
may DO worrying itself about affect
him but little. Labor strikes, which
involve thousands OF dollars and
nearly all classes OF men, pass him by
UNDECIDED.
1t is impossible to find another
business or profession which is less
dependent upon the patronage or
favor of others. He knows that if he
raises more of any kind of produce
than he requires for his own use he
will be able to dispose of it, because
his products are the necessities of life.
In place OF being dependent upon
others he has the satisfaction of know
ing that the whole world is dependent
upon him. This Independence is
shown in many other forms. He is
not compelled, as many others are, to
rise mt n certain hour and labor GER
tain number of hours each day under
the direction of others until he be-
comes simply n piece of machinery,
without thought or feeling of his own.
But, instead, his work is performed MS
he thinks best and at whatever time
he may consider most suitable.
Neither is he worried by tho fear of
losing his situation, MS many a one
who is employed by others is bound
to be Mt one time or another. His
position is secure, md no knows that
with q fair season his recompense is
assured Looking at the bright side
of farm life from another standpoint:
No one ever passed fine farm III mid
summer and did not envy it's owner.
The picturesque surroundings, the
we'll kept fields and pastures. the fine
horses and sleek cattle, the general air
of peace and prosperity which hover
over we'll appointed farm. At this
season, however, inspired poets have
caused many men In other walks Of
life to become farmers, and many of
the wrecks along the country roadside
were caused by men who had better
have remained in other walks of life

carrying the carcases of pigs that

where even a iackass could not get IL

along. followed her, and just about

almost unerring aim ut the fleeing
rabbits; now dismounting to bag
their game. and off again with tho
speed of tue wind. They know the
haunts of the animals, and divide into
groups to surround tho likely fields,
some routing up the rabbits. while
others topple them over with the
boomerang.
The hunt ends about shutdown,
when tho hunters return to tho viii
lage. each carrying upon his pony the
game that he has bagged, in q sack
made of rabbit-skins. Those who have
not killed many have very little to
say, as usual with unluoky huntsmen.
as they approach the village, singing
tue song OF tho rabbit hunt, fires arc
seen just without the gate and near
tho shrine, and the chanting of wo-
men is heard. They have gathered
to welcome the return of the hunters.
and are re-echoing the song of the
rabbit hunt. They meekly welcome
the braves and follow them to tho
oacique's house, all singing. Each
hunter presents to the caciquea choice
rabbIt-perhaps the largest of tho
-oatch-and after serenading him they
depart to their respective huts, and
each prepares his own family feast.
So the annual rabbit hunt is ended.
The hunter eats the head of tho rabbit
he has killed. This is supposed to
give him power to kill others. They
roast the rabbits in adobe ovens, or
stew them whole, with cornmeal, in
earthen jars. 1t is considered bad
luck to eat rabbit when fried.
