BELGIAN HARE
AND RABBIT.

Some one has asked what is the differ
ence between the Belgian Hare and the
ordinary hare or rabbit. The following
definitions are given by correspondent
to New York Times;
''The "hare" proper has protruding
eyes, does not burrow, and the flesh is
dark and dry, necessitsting the lardiDg
OF the flesh by inserting pieces Of fat into
the flesh before cooking. The eyes pro-
trude in order that it may see from front,
back and side at the same time, as it does
not burow, and so can only depend upon
its extra sight and hearing for protect
ion from its natural enemies, while the
rabbit" and "hare rabbit" have eyes
close in the head, do burrow, and the
flesh is white and very juicy. Some friends
OF mine have several of what are called
Belgian hares," which seem to me to
be only the ordinary wild rabbit or cot
tontail, and these partake OF all the attri-
butes OF the rabbit, and not OF the hare"

Row Mccullough Lost a net.

William Ii. Crane, the actor, once
told this story on his old friend McCul-
Tough. He said that one night In San
Francisco he was awakened from a
sound sleep by Mccullough pounding
on the door of his room and in response
to his sleepy inquiry as to what was
wanted responded: Let me In, Billy.

Once in, Mccullough told Crane that
he and the man who accompanied him
had bet 500 goldpiece as to who could
stand the longer on one foot and that

stakes deposited, time was called, and

utes, which again threatened to extend
into the hour without either disputant
giving up.
Suspecting something was wrong,
Crane walked himself up and examined
his men more closely. The other man
was wavering a bit but Mccullough
was standing like a rock. Another five
minutes went by, and then Crane, hop
ping out of bed, discovered that McCul-
Tough had one foot resting against an
adjacent sofa and could have stood
there for a week, II necessary. The
other man won the bet, but the joke
was on the referee.

O'RELL'S TRIBUTE.
The American Possesses A Sense OF
tiumor And The Gift OF Com
radeShip.

Good fellowship is not only natural
gift, or trait, to be found in the Ameri-
cans; 1t is quality cultivated by them as
late as in the mature days Of manhood.
And hope / shall not offend American
women If, using the word in its best and
respectful sense, say that they do, too,
strike the foreigners as good fellows, good
comrades.
After all, good fellowship is like the
sense OF humor-both are the outcome OF
simplicity aud philosophy in the charac-
ter. You will never find either in a con-
ceited man. You will never be a good
fellow or humorist until you can stand
joke at your own expense. The con-
ceited man has no hrmor in him, nor
can he see it in others. The conceited
man is dull fool, who spends his life
standing sentry at tn door CT his dignity,
He is An unredeemable bore, who misses
the sweetest pleasures of life, and makes
life uDbearable to all those who live
around him. You do not meet that man
in the polite society Of America.
The American man is generous, good
hearted, pleasant, genial good fellow
with whom you get on from the begin.
ming. In England you meet charming
men, but there is crust to break through
at first before YOU can get at them. The
American is wide open, all ready for use

HE WON THE CASE.
A Story of Lincoln's Wonderful Men
tnI and Physical Ability,

Professor Stevens was once work
ing up a mining case for the govern
ment in a western state where Mr..
Lincoln was practicing law. Mr.. Lin
coin at the time was comparatively un-
known In law and politics. When the
professor engaged his room In the
crowded country hotel he found that
a Mr.. Lincoln was to occupy one bed
in the room, as there was no other
place where he could be accommodate
ed. After arranging his books the pro
fessor settled down In an easy chair to
prepare his brief.
Mr.. Lincoln soon came In and made
himself known He said he also had
to spend the evening making up an
argument upon a mining case, and he
knew less about mines than about any
thing else. In an hour the professor
finished his work and retired, but be-
fore he did so he granted his room
mate the privilege OF using all his
books, maps and papers upon mines
and mining. Then he went TO sleep
and when he awoke at the next
hOuhu Jooe
where he had left him porting over
his books and papers The lamp was
still burning. although 1t was day
light
As Professor Stevens case did not
come up the next day he attended the
court TO hear Mr.. Lincoln present his
arguments. He reached the scene In
time for the opening speech by his
roommate, and he staid all through
the session
Although Mr.. Lincoln spoke for over
an hour on the technicalities OF mines
and mining. he did not make a single
mistake. He Cross examined some
half dozen surveyors and engineers and
in every case puzzled and embarrassed
them with his knowledge OF the sub
ject OF course he won the case But
Professor Stevens said that everybody
in the court believed he had been grad
uated In mining engineering and had
devoted years TO the study OF the SCI
ence.-Saturday Evening Post

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
of eciatic or inhammatory rheumatism
will agree that the iDfiichon is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief. 1t has
never been claimed that Chamberlain
Pain Balm would cast out demons, but
it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth Of this state
ment. One application relieves the
pain, and this quick relief which it af-
fords is alone worth many times its cost.

1873 per cent over 1898. On all classes

Don't Borrow A Paper.

Here is the latest st ~ Of the man who
is too stingy to take his home paper: A
man who was too economical to take this
paper sent his little boy to borrow the
copy taken by his neighbor. In his haste
the boy ran over a 81 stand OF bees and
in ten minutes looked like warty sum-
mer squash. His cries reached his faith
or, who ran to his assistance, and failing
TO notice barb wired fence, ran into that,
breakingit down, cutting handful of
flesh from his anatomy, and running -
pair OF pants. The old COW took advan-
tage OF the gap in the fence and got into
the cornfeld and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket, the wife
ran out, upset four-gallon churn full of
rich cream into a basket OF kittens,
drowning the whole flock. In the hurry
she dropped 81 set Of false teeth. The
baby, left alone, crswled through the
spilled milk and into the parlor, running
a brand-new $40 carpet. During the ex-
element the oldest daughter ran away
with the hired man; the dog broke up
eleven setting hens and the calves got
out and chewed the tails off five fine
shirts.-Dallas. Tex, News.
