A COSTLY RABBIT.
p,storv of. the Most Expensive Cot-
tohtan That Ever Was
Heard OF.

.The most expensive rabbit on rec
ord y said a well-known river man, re-
lates the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
sliyed and is probably still living on a
big sugar plantation in Jefferson par
ish. No, j am not joking; am IN deaa
earnest. The place I refer to is owned
by an old friend Of mine, and is one OF
the finest on the whole river. II has
been worked Of late years almost en-
tirely bv Italian labor, and the fore
men have had a good deal Of trouble II
coming with some of the racial pc
culiarities of the hands. Among other
things they were exceedingly tona oI
wild game of all kinds and had an espe-
cial and particular liking, for rabbits
The consequence was that whenever
cottontail would be scared up IN the
field the entire gang would drop their
hoes and dart in pursuit. The Italians
were good sprinters and the rabbit was
generally caught, but every episode Of
that kind meant the loss Of at least
half an hours time. There were
great many rabbits on the plahtatloh'
and these impromptu chases became SO
frequent that the foreman finally real
lied he would have to take drastic
measures to stop them. Accordingly
he put all hands on notice one morning
that the next man who stopped work
TO run after rabbit would be docked
S5 pay. About an hour afterward
fine bunnie lea@d suddenly out Of a
furrow and started across the field,
Instantly the cry went up and 2oo
Italians went galloping in pursuit
After the fugitive had, for wonder
escaped, and the excitement abated.
the foreman quietly remarked that s.
apiece would be deducted from the
pay roll Saturday night. He was as
good as his word, and that lone rabbit,
which they didn't get, cost the Ital-
ians exactly $1,250. 1t was the last ever
chased on the plantation. When one
appears at present the swarthy labor
ers look wistful, but keep on hoeing.
You costa too much-a num- they say,
sadly"

thar its income has been necessarily
small.
The college has adopted novel plan
OF permitting students TO work for an
education A farm Of 100 acres was
purchased in 1893 and home was built
for the students who worked the farm
in lieu Of college athletics, thus pro-
dncinr their own living. The results,
thus far, having been quite satisfac-
tory, the college has planned to equip
this department more adequately
These children bf adversity do not
mind work. What many would regard
MS obstacles to getting an education
they look upon us the opportunities OF
their lives. Appeals for chances TO
work are so numerous that the college
IS embarrassed.
The sum Of $3.50 invested inland will
place a student'slying at the command
Of two or three hours labor each day.
Being IN the nature ofnn endowment,
It will benefit generation after genera
tion OF students. The students will
need only $50 year additional tomeet
his tuition and incidental expenses
But many not being able to furnish the
$50 money is needed every year for
scholarships.
The college is without endowment,
but It's property, yalned at $4,000, IS
unencumberedi SO that even $4,000
would make the work secure and in
crease its efficiency. Money is now
needed for the purchase of more land.
These mountaineers, like their ances-
tors, are landowners, and it is proposed
TO take advantage of their instinct for
the soil in helping their children. Their
own small farms furnish but a scant
living.
One Of the features of the college
work in this region is the remarkable
influence college graduate has on his
home neighborhood. He usually goes
back and becomes the leading citizen,
being respected by his less fortunate
neigh bors in whose welfare he does not
lose interest He is as rule an en-
! thusiast for education, and so the work
goes on, multiplying in every genera
/ tion, until now the need Of a larger
college is actually dire one.

MUD HEN EGGS FOR CHICAGO,
Industry But Little Known Money
Producer for Hunters of
Bureau County.

Green river 'shen fruit" will soon be-
gin to make its appearance in Chicago
This is an Illinois product Of which Chi
cagoans partake without knowing
what they are eating. Green riEer hen
fruit is the egg Of a mud hen. Mud
hen is the common name of the .Ameri-
can coot, or Virginian rail, says Chi
cago paper.
During the month of May is the busy
season of the mud hen; likewise of the
individuals who make living robbing
her nest. The hens, in large numbers,
frequent the marshes of the Green and
Illinois rivers. They nest in swarms,
on punches of drift, and here they are
easily found by the egg hunters, who
find ready market in Chicago for all
of their offerings. A Green river
hunter last year gathered 1000 dozen
eggs in three weeks, clearing SEQ for
his labor. The price last year netted
six cents dozen.
Nearly all of the eggs are taken in
Bureau county. They art coatedjn the
same manner as the product Of the
barnyard fowl, and are sold to restaur-
ant men and confectioiiers. u is said
to be an easy matter fo1 ar egg hunter
acquainted with the haunts and habits
of the mud hen to.take from 800 TO 500
dozen eggs in single season.
