her male friends is likely to acquire a

Of the early years Of the century, with
their accompanying downcast eyes and

the maidens who have forgotten how
to blush are going to school TO learn that
primitive art.

as pulling eye teeth. How the crimson

Leather coats are made Of sheepskin,
Of horse hide and Of dogskin, lined with
corduroy, with flannel and with sheep s
wool. The corduroy lined coats are
made reversible, so that they may be
worn either side out. The coats Of
sheepskin are usually finished black,
the horse hide and dogskin coats russell
colored. A leather coat Of sheepSkin,
corduroy lined, costs about IS, horse
hide coats sell for $l2 to sl5 and dog
skin coats for $lS.
Leather coats are worn in the west
by truckmen and policemen and hunt
ers and lumbermen. The leather coat is
serviceable and warm, without great
bulk. The duck shooter lying perhaps
for hours in battery, waiting, keeps
warm in leather coat. The sportsman
after big game wears leather coat. IL
keeps the wearer warm without imped-
ing his movements.
A leather coat is sometimes worn I'M
der another coat for the sake OF its
warmth, as, perhaps, by policeman.
And the leather coat may be worn with
the corduroy side out, so that more
leather coats are worn here i'll cities

which was really punishment On the
parent. He discovered that an old stat
ute permitting the flogging of lawbreak-

set up the whipping post. Now when
boy is found guilty of misdemeanor
his father is sent for and given his
choice of paying q fine, seeing his boy
go to Jail or giving him a sound fog

BORING FOR RABBITS.

| A Wire Cable and Bitstock the Outfit.
Speaking Tubes Similarly Used.
It has remained for a Lacrosse
sportsman of an inventive turn of mind
to provide rabbit hunters with an mani
mate substitute for a ferret, the use of
which is prohibited by the game laws
Of Wisconsin, a bitst0ck and flexible
wire cable attached to a perforated iron
bulb being capable of driving bunny"
out of its subterranean home.
At this season of the year rabbits are
in their prime, and within small IA
dius of Milwaukee they are extremely
plentiful, but the wet weather during
the past week was unfavorable for hunt
ing until Thursdays cold wave froze
the surface Of the DOGGY ground fire.
quented by rabbits and gave the hunt
ers more secure footing. In Waukesha
county, and particularly in the imme-
diate vicinity of Pewaukee lake, be-
tween Watertown and Madison, west of
Racine and in Dodge county, Milwau-
kee hunters enjoy their best sport in
December and January, and with the
first fall Of snow great many rabbits
were killed by local sportsmen. In spite
Of the laws forbidding the use of ferrets
hunters have evaded the vigilance Of
the game wardens, but unless they are
securely muzzled the rodents seize the
rabbits in their burrows and ENJOY a
feast while the hunter impatiently
waits above for the temperance Of bis
quarry.
With the new hunting apparatus,
however, the hunter is equipped with a
device which is sure to drive the game
to the surface and give him a shot The
cable is flexible, but sufficiently rigid
to cause the iron bulb attached to it to
rotate positively throughout the entire
length of the burrow, following each
ramifcation with a lateral, snakelike
motion, and does not become entangled
in the roots of bushes or trees. A depth
Of 20 feet can be reached successfully,
and those who have used the device say
it is infallible.
The bulb should first be placed in the
burrow where the rabbit has taken ref
uge and then the bit brace revolved TO
the right, pushing on the cable at the
same time The bulb will follow all the
deviations in the hole until it strikes the
animal, which becomes sufficiently
alarmed to leave its refuge and take to
the open. To withdraw the appara-
tus the operator should continue to re-
volve the brace to the right, but pull on
the cable The threads on the bulb and
coupling are made right handed, as are
the strands Of the cable.
If the hunter desires to smoke rab-
bit out Of his hole, he can fill the iron
bulb with cotton waste saturated with
kerosene or powdered sulphur and then
heat the metal until the filling begins
to smoke. After inserting the cable in
the burrow one of the holes should be
closed, and the rest is easy, providing
the hunter is proficient in the use Of a
gun.
This winter o number Of hunters have
also used q section of a garden hose,
which they insert into the rabbits bur
row and then use the hose for speak
ing tube. A horrible racket is created
by this method, and the game is scared
out, but the cable and bulb are said to be
much more effective. milwaukee Sem

A HORN WITH A HISTORY.
For Years 1t Sounded Warning to Mary
land Mountain Moonshlners.

HOr IeErA III SOun0eQ n w hTniuk 10
land Mountain Moonshlners.
There is an old battered tin horn in
the possession of an ancient colored man
at Dalton, Ca, around which are asso-
ciated memories of many deeds Of VIC
lence.
In antebellum days the horn was the
property of Colonel Ben Longbridge, a
wealthy planter of Murray county. 1t
WIS originally used to summon his
many slaves to work and TO meals, and
its welcome note at sunset was the sig
rl for them to rest from the days la
DORIS.
After the war the horn became sepa-
rated from the Longbridge family, and
from that time until few months ago
was the period of its stirring history.
Murray county has for years been a
stronghold of the moonshiners. " Time
after time the revenue officers made des-
perate raids on the illicit distillers,
killing and being killed, yet never en-
tirely subduing the stubborn mountain
GERS. The mellow note of the old tin
horn would always warn the whisky
rebels Of the approach of their enemies
aud many mans death has 1t presaged.
The moonshiners would station a
lusty lunged sentinel on some promi-
uent mountain rock which commanded
a view OF the valley below, and the
slightest symptom in the lower defiles
was sufficient to send the bass echoes of
the old horn flying and the moonshiners
themselves flying to their improvised
fortresses, armed TO the teeth and ready
to take and risk life for what they con-
sidered their rights and in defense Of
their hearthstones To the revenue"
it always bore a dismal information
that from the next crag or bramble they
might expect Staying volley from
their hidden foes.
The venerable horn is a special re-
minder of a notorious gang which ter
rorized the country up to within a year
ago. 1t was used to rally the forces Of
the gang and was often the preface to a
bloody conflict between them and the
laws representatives
When the gang was finally disposed
of, the horn passed into the possession
of old Uncle Isaac, typical "befo' de
wah' negro. and the old man often
brings it out and recounts its interest
ing history. -Baltimore Sun.
