simple.
Last summer the biologist was sent
to a quiet, secluded little town In vir

While there he vas forbidden to study

was to be as les a blank as he could
make it But lie improved so readily

two constables~ approached at the head
of half the town and took him into
custody. The man struggled until the
country officers threatened to beat him
over the head. The butterflies We're
then released. At that the scientists
spirit completely gave way. He looked

crazy. Two old ladies who had been
particularly kind to him were the com
p%lainants. Your honor" one of them
said plaintively to the Justice. 1--WE
know this gentleman we'll. and are
abundantly able to take care of him.
But he IS stark, raving mad. He has
been very i'll and his madness may be
one of the effects. This morning we
saw him acting suspiciously-picking

the end OF a stick with it. Then a lit

The instructor in biology succeeded
in satisfying the court and bystanders
of his complete sanity. But he has lost
the friendship of the two old ladies
forever.

no closed aso in which they NAV

"The best rabbits come from Indiana

Kansas and Nebraska, and Jack rab.

nary rabbits. from Dakota.
The supply Of rabbits Is practically
unlimited, the quantity brought here
being regulated only by the demand.
Rabbits make without exception the
cheapest meat to be found in tho mar.
ket.
"They are bought almost wholly by
Germans and other purchasers of for
eign nationalities. If an American goes
cunning and shoots a rabbit or two he

Americans buy rabbits in the mar

very large. Solid car oads of rab-
bits, Willie not common, are by no
means so uncommon that they would
be considered remarkable. A cur load
contains $500 pairs.
Still. rabbits come along more COM
monty in shipments with other game.
Great as the quantity of rabbits now
sold here is. ] doubt if 1t is much If
any sreater than the quantity mar
keted here a few years ago: for while
the population has greatly increased,
the demand for rabbits is restricted
largely to particular sections of it.
But If rabbits and various other
sorts of game of more general con-
sumption have for one reason or an
other stood still or receded in supply,
that is not true of poultry. Of which
our supplies in comparatively recent
years have enormously Increased. We
get poultry nowadays commonly and
daily in good condition from regions
where. not SO many years ago. such
shipments would not even have been
thought of-due in great measure to

popular Young married couple,

All the arrangements and decor
alions were 10 aceor dance with the
time honored customs aud tradi-
tions relating to the celebration OF
this very popular holiday, and the
charming hostess succeeded ad-
mirably in making things as
ghostly" as the most fastidlous
witch or gnome could desire. At
each side Of the entrance to the
grounds stood two immense Jack'o
Lantern's, guarding tho approach
es like grim sentinels Of the night.
Inside holly berries and trailing
vines formed a bower of red and
green, while more Jack o Lant-
erns, pumpkin lights and other
mysterious emblems we're scattered
about promiscuously.
Mrs. Sparks was assisted in en-
terlaining by Mrs. Morgan Ham
llton, John Light and ID. f. Emer-
son, while Misses Brown, Clark
and Hsmilton punched the tally
cards for the games of whit en-
dulged in during the evening.
Halloween games were also played
the efforts of young people to eat
apples suspended from the cell
ing by strings causing much am
musement. Several OF the
youn gladles tested their fortunes
by snuffng candles.
The refreshments we're appro-
pirate to the occasion, and the
dancing INDUCED in gave an edgs
to The sppetites OF the gusts.
About seventy five young folks
enjoy ed the evening, and left for
home in the wee small hours Of the
morning.
