News Store. Hartford avenue. Telephone Ao-West.

Frederick Arnold. thu well known rail-
scah man. every now and then gets a
package from up in the country, from
soms of his oldtime- friends. and these
packages usually contain something that
d good to eat. and none enjoy good things
TO eat any more than does Mr.. Arnold.
Saturday Mr.. Arnold received a basket,
and he was sure that there was little
game In it--say quail or two. At the
car barn ne opened the basket, and on top
was q tat rabbit. and this Mr.. Arnold
knew would make good stew for his
Sunday dinner. He began to 20 little
deeper into the basket and was some
what startled whsn he saw brownish
Per about the barn and the last he saw
OF the streak was that II was flying up
Hartford avenue toward the field. Mr..
Arnold found a note In the basket inform
ing him that the sender had put two live
rabbits In the basket. but Mr.. Arnold
found that one of them had died en- route.
He and the rest OF the car men did all
that they could to head of Mr.. Rabbit.
but the latter had become accustomed to
lodging bullets fired from guns In the
hands of city chaps and was therefore
ready to get by little pin or two so long
as ne, the rabbit. had half show 1t
will probably be some time before the
rabbit gets back to Carolina.
NO HUSBAND THERE.
The families who reside at 55s Harris
avenue have for a few days been very
much disturbed by the report that has
been sent out to the effect that 'Hus-
band" was missing. One of the residents
OF this number called at the office or
The News this morning and stated that
there were a number of reasons why the
report should not be given any credence.
one of the reasons being that there was
no one missing from the house. another
was that there were no railroad men
living In the house. and last but not least
that there were no men In the house who
ever had the pleasure OF being called
husband. The old man In the house is
an old bach" and, according TO his state
ment this morning. Is going to hold on TO
that title for some time to come.
