a Curse of Rabbits.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

About 200 years ago Holland determined
to colonize one of her islands, which li,s
about 200 miles from the coast OF Africa.
II was thickly wooded. filled with fruit,
flowers and edible roots. and the hor
country decided that 400 or 500 OF 20
peasants, who could fled no land to farm ,.
Holland. might be able 10 turn the island
into huge truck farm and dairy. They
were to send things home, and In exchanged
get manufactures until they had esctAb-
iisbek a little world for themselves.
7 The people who went were very poor. ana
took very little with them. but one wo-l
man, In an evil moment, decided to take u
pair of pot rabbits. and that act sealed thal
doom OF the whole plan.
They reached the island In safety, begnnt
to farm. aud were happy and successfulis
They found birds and Email game in pIontys
and coon, TO their Joy, they began to find
rabbits. Many good dinner did they have
OF rabbit pie or stew. and the woman WING
had brought the original pair with he&
from home was considered u bonefactor, foH
from this one pair all the others had
strung in series Of rapidly succeeding
gcnnrutionB.
Then gradually things began to changesI
the farmers crops were nibblad and tht1
woodsmen found the Young trees destroyks
cd Tkey grew frightened. The rabbit
had become scourge. They mulHplIek3
and ate until the people had to fight faSS
every green leaf they had.
Finally there was nothing left on IL
island but rabbits and people, and RAD
bits became the peoples only food. BIZ
as there WAS no food for the rabbits theu&
selves. they soon died of. and left starJ
ing dNolate settlement upon desert ~.

and instead OF leaving her cargo and n s.

Webster was So amused over the propo-
sitlon that he kept his word. He spent
tho entire week In Nantucket, and ap-
pearcd ON one side or the other In every
case that came up for hearing. The shrewd
Nant,cketer hired Daniel Webster out to
