Autumn.

Autumn has clad the hills in the
radiance of her belt of gold.
The foliage of the fading year
has caught the soul Of the rain
bows of the skies and blazed it
back again in multifold and IRA
diant hues. So voluptuous a
splendor of color is seen nowhere
In the languid land of the topics.
It glows only where the breath of
the King of Storms touches the
trees and makes them gold; moves
the leaves of the mountain verdure
and converts them into crimson
banners, which flame at the sun
and the dark clouds until winter
comes and places upon these little
lives from the sun-god his imperial
robes of ermine.
Autumn is as the twilight, save
for the unutterable radiance of its
feeting hours; in its soul are
dreams and memories, as in the
hush of the twilight softly illumin-
ed with pharmacies of a new-made
moon.
Beautiful is the coming of Au-
tumn, beautiful and sad. She
comes with a face and her
smile is a prophetic flashing Of
the doom to be. Yet she comes
in raiment 80 radiant that il mocks
the glory of the summer splendors
and around her peerless throat the
gods have placed a necklace of
jasper. And the Tilt of remember
ed songs and a requieum of airy
lutes is in the trailing of her vest
ments in the dry leaves as she
moves on slowly and majestically
into the unknown whiteness be-
yond.

Hard on l1r. Jack
Rabbit.

This valley is about cleaned out
of the once numerous jack rabbit.
A year ago they were as thick as
flies about honey, but this year
anyone can drive for an hour in
any direction and it is a chance if
one of the long cared fellows can
be seen. 1t has been the custom
of the Indians for years to make a
drive in the Fall, and the result
has always been that they had rab-
bit for breakfast, dinner and sup
per several weeks. This year it is
different and the Indian has aban-
doned the idea of even chasing
after the festive bunnie, says the
Carson Appeal,
1t is the general belief among
the farmers and others who have
noticed the scarcity of the animals
that they have died off from some
disease that has invaded their rank.
There were very few young rabbits
in the early Summer and even
those have disappeared. Between
the Indian, disease and the coyote,
the once famous Nevada jack rab-
bit is a thing of the past this year.
Mr.. Coyote will have to do some
pretty tall hustling this Winter if
he don't want his ribs to collapse.

That is why the vaudeville is so charming.
There was only one in the audience who
was not interested in the rabbits sudden

gentleman from Harlem who sat reading
his scientific article undisturbed.
The spangled lady floats down the tenn
porary steps to the floor and, running down
the aisle, opens the gentleman's coat and
withdraws the writhing rabbit, which she
holds up triumphantly.
There is shrek OF laughter. Only the
Harlem gentleman, after a certain scared
look. and furtive peep into his other
pocket to see that he has not another rabbit
or squirrel or guinea pig concealed there,
goes on with his article on the origin OF
