WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
MeaIeY Did the Buck Dance

For acrotatic feats on marsh in
winter weather. no experienced trap
per can excel Levy Court Commission
er John j. Mealey. so it is avered by
his fellow commissioners, who saw a
performance of his on St Georges
marsh last Thursday. Mr. Mealey is
not an old man, and time has not stiff
fened his JOINTS as was the case with
some of his gray-haired colleagues,
but for all that his fellow Levy Court
men looked on with admiration, not
InInixed with envy, when they saw
Mr. Mealey doing what looked like
a double buck and wing dance upon
the frozen surface of the marsh, and a
oOlored man. who was driving the
team which conveyed the commission
ers to the marsh, almost went into
convulsions with delight at Mr..
Mealey's performance.
1t was soon explained, however. by
Mr. Mealey He said that in walking
along he stepped upon the frozen sur
face Of little pool. the ice cracked,
and in his haste to get off the trench
erOus surface his feet kept slipping.
and his efforts to- get out OF danger
made it appear like the cOutortiOns of
a professional buck dancer. In his last
maneuver he fell full length upon The
ice and had not Mr.. Chandler rescued
him Mr.. Mealey might have been
buried in mud at this time. The Levy
Courtmen were inspecting the St
Georges road when the amusing Incl
dent happened.

While riding in the smoking car on

Rabbits are scarce this year on
your place, are they not?" asked the
Wayfarer.
'Yes. indeed; one of my farm hands
gunned all day Thanksgiving and did
not kill rabbit"
If they would prohibit cunning for
about four years It would give the
game a chance to increase. wouldn't
it?"
Yes, but the farmers would have
to kill them or before that time"
Are they destructive?"
Yes. sir They will destroy plenty
OF stuff for a farmer. never believed
it until went on a farm on the State
road several years ago. The farm was
oyerrun with rabbits. and many of
them lived about the barns. would
not permit anyone to kill the bunnies
around the barns. for called them my
pet rabbits. l purchased and planted
some fine plum and pear trees and
they were doing nicely until there
came cold snap and a heavy snow.

OF the plum and pear trees. and found
the bark removed from them for sew
eral inches above the snow. II was

the rabbits eating it. They killed many
dollars worth of trees for me, and
since then l have had no mercy on
