I love little Holsters,
Their tint is so warm:
And if / don't eat them
They'll do me no harm


An engineer on q Kansas railroad has made re-
quest to be allowed to run faster than sixty-fve
miles an hour. because jack rabbit has been
making fun of him his jack rabbit is
noted for it's speed. and this particular jack. it
seems has been in the habit of coming out Of his
burrow Just south of Olathe, Kan. when he hears
the flyer coming early in the morning, looking up
and winking at the engineer. and then, throwing
back his long ears, racing alongside the track. He
seems to know that the engineer may not
ahead of his schedule. so he keeps up only fair
speed, but at that he often gets the track in
front OF the locomotive and. putting up one foot
to his face, spreads out his toes and makes sign
perfectly familiar to all small boys. which is
pressive Of the highest and dersion. This is
a true story and vouched for by Kansas paper.
