HOW RABBITS FIGHT.
Big Yellow Cat That Intended to Have n Great Feast Put to Ig-
 nOminious Flight.

One day as was quietly picking wild strawberries on hill Yheard curious grunting down the side below me, then the quick thud! thud! of an angry rabbit. Among the bushes I caught glimpse of rabbit ears. A fight was on,
 Crouching beside bluish spot, which I knew to be a rabbits nest, was a big yellow cat. He had discovered the young ones, and was making mouths at the thought of how they would taste, when the mothers thump startled him. He squatted flat with ears back, tail swelling and hair standing up along his back, as the rabbit leaped over him. It was glimpse of Molly's ears as she made the jump that 1 had caught. It was the beginning of the bout-only a feint by the rabbit, just to try the mettle of her antagonist.
 The cat was scared, and before he got himself together, Molly, with mighty bound, was in the air again; and as she flashed over him she fetched him stunning whack on the head that knocked him endwise. He was on his feet in an instant, but just in time to receive stunning blow on the ear that sent him sprawling several feet down the hill. The rabbit seemed constantly in the air. Back and forth, over and over the cat she flew, and with every bound landed terrific kick with her powerful hind feet that was followed | by a puff of yellow fur.
 The cat could not stand up to this. Every particle of breath and fight was | knocked out of him at about the third kick. The green light in his eyes was the light of terror. He got quickly to bush and ran away, else I believe that the old rabbit would have beaten him to death.-From "Wild Life Near l HOmev

TOO MUCH PET BEAR.
When Little Boys Cute Cub Grew Up It Became Just Trihe Too
 AfectiOnate.

There is sort of indescribable facination in the thought of having a real wild animal as pet. A dog is we'll enough in his way, and so is a cat, or pony, or squirrel; but where is the boy that would not thrill clear down to his boots with the idea of having pet bear, or pet catamount? Well, such things have been, but it never turned out one-half so nice as it seemed at first.
 Thereby hangs a little tale. cer- tain ardent sportsman, a friend of the writer, went to the Adirondacls last summer on hunting excursion. While there he and his party killed an old she-bear and captured her cub, a little roly-poly of a beast about the size of young Newfoundland puppy. Now, the sportsman had boy at home, about four years old, whom he had promised that he would "bring him something" when he returned from his trip. So he concluded that this cub was just the thing. It was so young, and so very little, that he thought there would be not the slightest trouble in tanning and training it.
 Of course the boy was delighted with his pet, just as he would have been with puppy, for he was too young to know or think anything about the wild animal part of it. It seems that the father took real pride in the fact that his boy had sure enough live bear for pet.
 Everything went along very nicely mighty good time of it romping in the yard. In fact, the cub acted pretty much as a puppy would have done un- der the circumstances. But as the months passed the cub grew very fast, and it was not long until it was as big as two or three puppies, and it got to be pretty rough, too; not maliciously so, but in play, for it could not be expect ed to know just how far it might go in it's romp with boy.
 One day when the boy and the bear were having an unusually good time on the lawn, and there was nobody in par ticular about, the family were alarmed by series of shrill screams from the boy, and it was noticed, even in the excitement of the moment, that the screams were growing fainter and fanter.
 It seems that the "hired man" was the first to reach the scene, and he was Just in time to rescue the boy from be- ing hugged to death! Perhaps the bear did not know exactly what he was do- ing; he might even have thought that he was giving his little playmate par ticularly strong evidence of his affec- 'tion; but if nobody had heard the boys screams there would certainly have been funeral at that house, and the little fellows epitaph might have been: Died of Too Much Pet Bear." - St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

MATT ON A BICYCLE.

other Matt in political sagacity. Matt knows all the ordinary tricks of dogs, and in addition he has accomplish ments acquired and natural that are almost human. He loves boys and boys sports. and there is nothing that he likes better than to mount a bicycle. with small boy to do the work, and ride by the hour.
 Another Advertisement of Matt is to mount pony behind boy. and, sit ting astraddle, with his forefeet hug ging the lad in the saddle, as any boy would do, stay on and ride as long as they will let him. In the winter it is his hearts delight to join the boys at coasting and take a "belly wopper'' along with the rest of them. At this sport he never tires, and there is all ways a place for Matt on the boys sled. He is willing to do his part draw ing the sled back again, too, and his eyes sparkle and he shouts in his own way just as the boys do in theirs.-De- troit Free Press.

Three Cents Seemed Epoupb

On the New Jersey side of the North river there is parish of New York suburbanites who own a valuable church property. Upon their plot stands what is perhaps the smallest church building known to the denom- nation. One of the women members declared to the minister in charge that the building ought to have a slit in the roof, so that she might deposit her offerings in accordance with the traditions of childhood A little girl on her first visit to the service, re- ceived five pennies to put on the plate When she returned her mother found that she still retained two of the five pennies. "Why did you not give it all?" the mother asked. "Oh. mamma" was the ingenious answer, "it was such a little church I thought three cents was enough for it!"

A NEW INDOOR GAME
It Is Highly Amusing and SpIe n al Exercise or Acquiring Grace
 and Firmness.

Here is game that may be indulged in safely, pleasantly and quickly, in- doors or out. You will observe that the design for the butterfly follows the main characters of the pretty in- sect, without the details of antennae or feet-only what you see in the flight of the butterfly. The object of the game is to put the butterfly to flight and safely catch it, which might not happen if the form of the butterfly was followed exactly.
 Cut the picture out and paste it on light cardboard, being careful to have both sides equal, so that it will balance evenly.
 Place the butterfly on book or light tablet, at right angles to the edge, and the tip of one wing extending little beyond the edge. Incline the tablet
Newport weekly independent., 1902-11-07

slightly, and hold it up with your left hand, as high as you can reach comfort ably. Then with a pencil or light stick in your left hand give clean firm stroke to the tip of the wing, when the butterfly will soar. The ob- ject is to catch it on the tablet. If you succeed it counts ten to you, and your "go" next, and so on till it fails. If it falls to the ground on your side of line agreed on it is still your Ego, but counts only five. If it falls on the side of your opponent the ''go" and count are his. One hundred is the linn it of the game.
 It takes considerable skill to catch the butterfly on the tablet, but it is worth the practice both in pleasure and profit, as it is an excellent exercise for acquiring grace and firmness. It requires the gentlest possible stroke to lift the butterfly, and alertness to catch or guide it where you wish it to alight.
 When once you master the knaclk, it is fascinating and so gentle that a child in bed or crippled may play it The gentleness necessary adapts it particularly to little shut-ins, while the activity permitted and the pretty sight tempts the players afeld, where the butterfly world goes, if alive, and everyone may not follow.-People' $ Home Journal.

Does This r1ean You?

When girls start out evenings with
the solehope fpicking up a young man
and walking further, it is time to have
a curfew law that will include children
over sixteen in its jurisdiction, wrath
fully remarks an exchange. This rest
lessness that comes upon girls in sum-
mer evenings results in lasting trouble,
unless speedily controlled. The right
kind of man doesn't look for a wife
on the streets and the right kind of a
girl waits till the man comes to her
home after her. The mothers should
quit gossiping over the back fence and
chase after their girls when they get

Emmanuel Church Building Fund.

The Vestry of Emmanuel
Church have issued the following
statement and appeal on behalf
of the Building Fund
1t is true that the larger part of
the expense connected with build
ing the new church has. actually
been met. About $4,000 has
already been paid on the various
contracts connected with the
building and with the heating
and lighting plants, to say
nothing of what has been expend-
ed on the old church and rectory
and on the grounds and street.
There are contracted obligations
still to be met amounting to
$4,000. To meet these obliga-
tions there is OH hand balance
in the treasury of $3.50 and un-
paid subscriptions amounting to
5000. There is therefore a bal
ance of some $3.50 of contracted
obligations still to be provided
for.
We will say frankly that in 10
event will this or any amount be
allowed to remain long unpaid.
Still, we think that it is only
fair to our friends outside the
parish, as we'll as to ourselves, to
give this opportunity to the peo-
pie of the town who have not al
ready contributed to the Building
Fund, to show their goodwill
towards us by subscribing now,
if so. disposed. The ladies of
Emmanuel Church have met
with liberal patronage in their
various appeals to the public, but
aside from help i'll this form we
have not as yet received assuran-
Ces of assistance from more than
eight or ten persons i'll the town
outside of our own church. For
the most part this is due to the
fact that we have never before
made a generalappeal to the town
for this object.
We are not asking or looking
for anything unreasonable. We
appreciate the prior obligations
resting upon the members of other
communions to do for their own
churches. We have no desire to
hinder the undertakings of other
churches, but OH the contrary
wish them God-speed.
Representatives of the vestry
will try to see our citizens in this
interest within a few days, or
contributions may be sent directly
to DR.. A. w. Baker, Treasurer
of the Building Fund.
