! pLErnoRA OF JACK RABBITS

.
solld Train Loads Of Thorn ON Western
Railways.
From the Topeka Capital: Solio
trains of lack rabbits will be q novelty
in the traffic Of Western railroads dur
ing the coming winter. The trains
will be made up entirely Of refrigera-
tor cars. each OF which will contain
5000 Jack rabbits, thoroughly frozen
before being loaded for shipment. The
freight charges from Idaho to the Mis-
sissippi river will be six cents eacn'
or $3.50 for the car, which is consid-
cred a very high tariff, even for re-
frigerator car service but as the jacks
will bring s125 to $1.5o per dozen 1t Is
said there will be good margin foI
both shippers and commission men
The extraordinary rush Of this meat
is due to the fact that the state OF
Idaho is now overrun by countless
numbers of jack rabbits, which are
multiplying so rapidly that the tota
destruction Of crops in that section Ii
threatened. In the hope OF affordins
some relief the state legislature passed
a law Offering a bounty Of two cents
. on each jack rabbit scalp brought in
and the result is that the obnoxiou
Dummies are being slaughtered in erea
numbers. A prominent merchant o
pocatello conceived the idea of en-
couraging the determination OF tn
nests and shipping the carrcasses t
Eastern game dealers to be sold. Fl
has concluded arrangements with
St Louis man for disposing Of th
game.

nights and commit murder or arson or

what do you want to be convict for?"
1T is preferable to barbering." How
so?" And the second chair tried the
pdge of his razor on his thumo-nali.
"In a lot of ways. For instance, the
convict never has to worry about CLOS

comes along and closes it for him. He
doesn't get haK way home on the last

the purpose Of finding out II he mas

Oftentimes the barber can't take the
time to 60 out for cup OF coffee ana
a sinker. It's different with the con-
yict. He has to eat and he's never
roubled with indigestion, either. And
he quits work at o'clock, too, and
after that hour no one comes to his
door to get him out to give haircut
to a man who's got to go to'a funeral
early In the morning. The convict
gets two months time every year. Tne
barber doesn't. He's lucky If he fnds

The convict never is compelled to grow

he does is to tell the warden about IL
