Recently n fire broke out In one of
the public school buildings Of Omaha.
The children had been accustomed to
a fire drill and had been thoroughly in
structed what they must do In case Of
an alarm. A little fellow named Ofiie
Downs was the drummer, and II was
his duty whenever the alarm sounded
TO take his position at the foot of the
stairs with his drum and start the pro-
cesslon with his rataplan. The teacher
who discovered the fire marshaled her
pupils In their accustomed order, then
notified the principal, who also placed
the other children In the ranks. BY
this time both principal and teachers
began to lose their heads, and as the
smoke filed the building the children
were thrown into a panic which was
intensified by the beating of the gong.
Little Ofie, however, did not lose his
head. He rushed for his drum, put
himself In his customary place at the
foot of the stairs, though IL was close
to the fire and In the midst of
binding smoke, and began his drum
beat. At the familiar sound the chill
dren fell into the ranks and the march
began. The procession filed quietly out
and all were saved. when but moment
before II seemed likely that many OF
them would be killed In mad scramble
to get out OF the building. Offie was
the hero of the occasion by his courage
and presence of mind, and he has re-
ceived the due need of praise as his re-
ward. The incident shows the value of
military discipline and the habit OF
unQuestioning obedience. And there is
a useful lesson in Offie's leadership,
though every boy might not have had
his thoughtfulncss and bravery.

JACK RABBITS FOR couasINe.
Said to BE Greatly Superior to the English
Hare For That Purpose.

Hare For lhht purpose.
The sport Of rabbit coursing is receiv-
ing a new impetus since the Kansas
black tailed jack rabbit has entered the
arena. Not until quite recently has the
coursing fraternity been aware of the
great superiority of the jack over the
cotton tail rabbit or the English hare for
this purpose Kansas jack rabbits are
now greatly in demand, both in this
country and in England, and live ones
command good price. The difficulty in
catching them alive is very great, and
only one man in Kansas, so far as
known. has given his undivided atten-
ton to the work.
Charles Payne, familiarly known
throughout the west as a hunter and
plainsman, has been jack rabbit en-
thusiast for years. and it is largely
through his efforts that the merits of the
animal for coursing purposes have be-
come so generally recognized. The cap
ture Of live jacks involves the purchase
Of great deal Of expensive parapher-
MALTA. Mr.. Payne has two nets made Of
seine Irvine. 3 feet in height, which,
when both are extended, reach almost
across a section, and made expressly for
catching live Jacks. His method of en-
trapping the live jacks is unique. 1t is
bis usual custom, when preparing for
the raid upon the rabbits, TO advertise
among the farmer boys the day upon
which the jack rabbit drive is to take
place.
At the appointed time hundreds Of
country boys, mounted ON ponies, flock
to the rendezvous. armed with fog horns,
drums, bells and anything else that will
make discordant music. They are de-
ployed in semicircular line two miles
in front Of the net, and at given sig
nal from the marshal Of the day the line
moves toward the net, each man making
all the noise possible. If the hunting
grounds have been well selected, the
horsemen will have no trouble in
bouncing" rabbits innumerable, and
as they scamper away toward the net,
followed pellmell by the eager farmer
boys, the scene is one of great ANNA
ton.
The rabbits, If they do not become
confused by the noise and excitement,
bound away toward the net at almost
lightning speed, and many of them
strike the net SO hard that they break
their necks Those that survive the shock
scamper into the pockets which are in
geniously arranged for their reception,
and for them the jig is up Rabbits
sometimes die of fright, not having suf
flcient strength to make the race for life.
These rabbit drives are among the most
popular sports in which the prairie
farmers indulge. and it is customary for
the organizer Of the drive to provide a
bounteous spread for his gratuitous
helpers. philadelphia Times.

tracted apparently by what was in its
eyes novel vehicle. commenced to waltz
around the bicycle. After few prelimi-

to pace Mr.. Menzies. and SO long as il
abstained from using its wings the cy-
clist and the ostrich managed dead

half mile in this way the ostrich util-
lied its stumpy wings as sails, and
spurted away at record breaking pace,
leaving the cyclist far behind. After

Modern xyoman.s Strength.

Whatever may be thought Of the pre-
tensions to intellectual advance put for
ward ON behalf of the modern woman,
there is at least no denying her physical
and muscular progress Brought to the
test of actual results, her claim to men,
tai superiority over the woman who
thought and worked and achieved in a
less assertive age becomes by no means
easy to establish. With all the exultant
fuss about higher education and the
equality of the sexes, we look in vain
today for worthy successors to some Of
those gifted and brilliant women Of the
past who, quietly and without the aid
of advertisement, wrote their names
upon the history of their time. But
when IL comes to a question Of physical
comparison the new feminine genera.
tion has far better reason to congratu-
late itself and pity its grandmothers. -
