Money and Hall Friends A gain.

WASHINGTON. May 6.-Representative
Money. Of Mississippi, and Repregenta-
tive Hall, OF Missouri, who recently had
personal encounter In the naval COM
mittee room, have adjusted their differ
ences snd shaken hands. Mr.. Money
returned this week from Mississippi,
where he had been for several days and
through the good offices Of ex Speaker
Crisp and Representative Cstchings, Of
Mississippi, the two gentlemen met In
the naval committee room. Explsna-
tions showed that the recent unpleas-
autness arose from Misunderstanding
o. the remarke Of the two mem bers over
the personnel Of the navy bill and each
one expressed his regret over the occur

SOME ANIMAL HUNTERS.
Strategy by Which California Coyotes Ran
Down q Jaok Rabbit.


An Indian will often take q deer's
trail, when deer are scarce, and follow
it for days, preventing the deer from
feeding or resting and making it so
weary and careless that in the end he
kills it by shot at short range Proba-
bly, the Indians first learned to follow q
deer i'll this fashion from observing the
habits of wolves, panthers and other
wild and tireless trailers of game.
The coyote Is not so strong wolf as
its big gray cousin in Maine and other
wolf countries. Nevertheless he has
been known TO run the jack rabbit down
as surely rs death, but in more expe-
ditious way than the Maine animal
adopted. Whether it is habit or not of
the coyotes to run jack rabbits in pairs
cannot be said for certain, but story
was told some time ago in well known
sportsmaE's paper which, being backed
by similar story of English foxes, has
every appearance Of being truthful
The two coyotes were seen to jump
rabbit one day out in California on a
mesa One Of the coyotes took after it
on the dead jump, the other trotted to
a near by rise and lay down, with its
nose on its paws, knowing that the rab-
bit would surely circle Pretty soon
along came the jack rabbit With the 9TH
er coyote behind, both going full tilt
Up jumped the waiting coyote, and
away it went after the rabbit, while the
other dropped out of the chase and wait
ed, as its companion had done, to take
the trail on the rabbits return. 1t was
not long before the rabbit was exhaust
ed by the strategy and endurance Of both
the animals Of prey and soon fell an
easy victim to be eaten by both the
hunters.
]. B. Bennett Of Brooklyn saw n fox
early one morning lying beside the open,
narrow gate of rabbit proof fence that
surrounded a 40 acre plantation not far
from the Marquis of Queensberry s game
preserve in Scotland. Looking over into
the Enclosure, he saw another fox chas-
ing the rabbits that had entered the
open gate to get Mt the cabbages there
The rabbits-eight or ten of them-were
headed for the gate and running like
"cutty sarks. - When one plunged
through the gateway, the fox lying
alongside it leaped and had it by the
back of the neck in a jiffy. Then the
foxes tore the rabbit to pieces and "en-
joyed the feast like honest sportsmen "

WHERE JOHN BULL GOT HIS NAME.
Story OF the Origin of Great Britain's
Usual Nickname.


Usual Nickname.
John Bull, the mythical parsonage
supposed to represent the English peo-
pie and now figuring largely in our ed
ltorial writing and in cartoons, was the
invention Of DR.. Arbuthnot in one Of
his satirical sketches ridiculing the great
Duke Of Marlborough. In the opinion Of
Dr. johnson, Arbuthnot was 1.-THE first
man among eminent writers in Queen
Anne's time" He drew John Bull as
the typical Englishman-a stout, red
faced old farmer, far too corpulent for
comfort, choleric, but withal an honest
and well meaning fellow. He clothed
him in leather breeches and topboots,
put q stout oaken cudgel in his hand
and bulldog at his heels and set him
up for all time to serve as the represent
alive Englishman
He may have been not so bad carl
cature in the days Of Queen Anne, but
today certainly there is much force in
Leslie Stephens remark that che COM
pletely hides the Englishman of real
life. y The average Englislman Of to-
day is physically no stouter certainly
than-probably not so stout as-the nv
erage American, and the stout cudgel
and the bulldog are no longer apt SYM
bols OF the modern Britisher's DISPOSE
ton. He has lost the excessive pugnaci-
ty of his forefathers and is, above all,
anxious to keep the peace with his I'm.
