THE JACK RABBITS OF TEXAS.

"The big rabbits or hares that hang in

not the jackrabbits or mule ears that
abound On the Texas prairses," said Mr..
C. o. Keras. of the Lone Star state. re-
ports the Washington Post. 'sThe sort
that we have and that are common ali
through the southwest are of brown
color. identical with their small cotton
tail brethren that abound in Virginia
and Maryland. and that are numerous
all through the old southern states.
These imported hares with white bellies
come from Canada. where all wild ami
mails turn white in winter 10 match the
snowclad earth. and they are rot nearly
as large as our Texas jzckTabbits. nor
do they have the enormously big ears
that distinguish the Texas family. I
should say that ours will get over the
ground twice as fast as their Canadian
cousins. a greyhound is the only ami
NAL, in fact. that can overtake a mule
ear. An ordinary dog never forgets him
self so far as to chase one for even the
distance OF CITY block. II would be a

The prejudice. when it is manifested.

men. a prominent practitioner saI6s
when was just starting my legal
mentor inculeated that idea to me. He
said that curly-haired men had almost
invariably been the psmpered darlinss
of their parents and in their youth had
been so used TO having their own way
that they had come to believe that every
body on earth was wrong except them
selves In this way the seeds of opp0-
sitiOn were sown. and when they grow
older they make point 20 disagree with
everybody and everything. If every
body else on the jury votes for acquittal
they vote for conviction as matter OF
course. They live on combat and are
