QUAIL RABBITS.
How a Preston Dealer Tried to Evade
the Game Law.

Preston, Dec. 30.-Preston Agent Pax
ton is being congratulated for his
shrewdness in a detective way in a re-
cent transaction, he having today re-
that effect. A box, said to contain
nothing but jack rabbits was taken to
the Rock Island station for shipment, a
hasty examination made for contra
band goods, and afterwards when the
box was weighed, the agent thought
something was wrong, as the box was
too heavy to contain only rabbits, and
he at once opened it again and then
surprised to find that the rabbits had
been rid of their entails and in the cav
ity was snugly stored away three quail
the vent being drawn together with
wrapping yarn. Each of the 100 rabbits
was found to be stuffed in like manner,

DEPEW DISHONEST.
"Cholly Knickerbocker' Says He Is In
New York Journal

New York, Dec. 3O.-The Journal pub
fishes the following from the pen of
Charley Kniekerbocker," the well known
newspaper writer:
Dr. Chauncey Mitchell Depew is alto
gether too generous and too genial to in
duIge in such language as that with which
he is credited concerning the very enter
tanning and absolutely correct story
which the Journal published last Sunday
about the present condition of Biltmore,
George Vanderbilt's magnificent but un-
profitable estate near AsheviIe N. c.
It is alleged that Chauncey. dear old
chap. says that there is not word of
truth in the Journals whole story of Bilt-
more.
Habits of a lifetime are hard to over
come. Ever since Chauncey entered the
service of the Vanderbilts he has been de,
nying stories about the Vanderbilts. 1t
has become a second nature with him.
On hearing the name of Vanderbilt,
Chauncey always says it isn't so, and then
asks what it is.
OF course Chauncey is a wise man. If
he had lived in the days of the patriarchs
the catechism would now read:
Q. Who was the wisest man?
a. Chauncey-
Solomon would never have been heard
of
Chauncey has been the press agent of
the Vanderbilts so long that he suspects
every story that he doesn't give out him
self.
On the other hand and for the same
reason, the public suspects every story
that he does give out
The reading world hasn't forgotten what
Chauncey had to say when Willie K. and
the Lady AIva" were in the thrOes of
their divorce proceedings.
We all remember Chauncey's denials
when Cornelius Vanderbilt, ST., was
stricken with paralysis.
What Chauncey had to say about young
Neely's marriage and its consequences is
as yesterday.
Ever since I could remember, Chauncey
has been denying Vanderbilt stories that
eventually denied his denials-
It is not astonishing therefore. that
Chauncey should have lifted up his voice
and wept when he read the Journal :
carefully prepared, well considered and
absolutely correct story of the present
condition of affairs at Biltmore.

the breach of contract case of the Co

case is quite a celebrated one. The

besides the case has twice been through

Vanderbilt to Be Society Leader-As
soclatad Press is DeIighted.

New York. Dec 3O--Wrn. K Wander
bilt has blossomed out as a cotillion
leader. and society claps its glOved
hands in demure appreciation.
The innovation means a great deal
to society. 1t means that the most
spriChtIy and by far the most popular
member of the Vanderbilt family has
finally cast behind him the matrimonial
griefs which found their climax in the
divorce court. It means that the owner
of the superb town and country house
and of the renowned yacht Viliant. has
f0rsworn sack cloth and ashes in favor
of a beau's career. 1t means that the
most eligible catch in the marriage
market has definitely placed himself
IN rivalry with the bachelors
And society is at loss to name any
bachelor who can compare with VIM.
