that section to Flagstaff. and also
shortens the distance between Flag

wells as Rabbit Trans.

Nelson Poleyette, while hunting on
his fathers farm. near Westover, cas-.
ually glanced into an unused well and
saw a great many dead rabbits in it.
Such old wells as this have been the
graveyards for rabbits. This well, in
particular, was formed Of barrels set
into the ground, one above the other,
sc that the rim Of the uppermost pro.
jected only a few inches above the
ground. During the recent drought,
when all the ponds and bitches were
dried up. the rabbits went into this
well fol- water and were unable to gel
out. Mr.. Poleyette took seventeen rab
bits from the well, and there were
doubtless more at the bottom. In all
probability an examination Of other
unused wells would bring to light
hundreds of rabbits which lost their
lives during the long dry weather.

There are numerous rules of court

ing there, yet they must be conformed
to. In addressing the royal parsonage
"Sir" and "Your Majesty" must be
used. When the opportunity for con-
versation with royalty arises, royalty
takes the initiative. When passing a
member OF the royal family at a social
function a courtesy and bow is ex'
pected. When an Englishman enter.
tains the sovereign the house becomes
for the time being his property. His
meals are served separately land the
host and hostess can only eat with him
at his invitation. A piece of paper on
which a letter is written to the sover
eign must never be folded, but must
be inclosed in an envelope large
enough to hold 1t without folding. At
a ball a subject, however high his
rank, may not ask a princess for a
dance. If a princess wishes to dance
with any man present the proposition
must come from her, She signifies her
wish to the equerry in attendance, who
at once conducts the favored one to
her. The obligation to comply with
the request is imperative, and a mar
must even leave a lady whose escort
