refuses to come from his burrow the
Indian boys gather about with sharp
ened sticks and dig until the animal is
forced to make break for liberty.
The Indian dogs have their share in
the hunt, of course, and the scene is
stirring one, as the tribesmen scurry
over the plain, searching every arroyo
for lurking rabbits.
The real feature of an Indian rab-
bit hunt is the dexterity shown by in
dividual boomerang hunters. A To-
year-old boy, straight as an narrow,
and as 1.-the as q young panther, will
frighten a rabbit from a clump Of
sage brush. To the eye Of the in
experienced, there is no rabbit there,
but the Indian has not been de-
ceived. As soon as the jack rabbit
starts from his place OF concealment
and goes in long bounds, which speed
lily carry him away from an ordinary
enemy, the Indian youth gives q
shrill cry and draws back the hand
holding the deadly boomerang. Like
baseball pitcher, he poises an i'm
slant. and then, with a overland
swing, the boomerang is sent forth,
cutting the air with a swish, and
almost invariably sending the rab-
bit head over heels. 1nasmuch as the
sportsman must manifest fair de-
gree of skill with the shotgun to shoot
jack rabbit when it is well under
way, the precision necessary to kill
one of the animals with club can be
readily understood. The average
white boy however he may pride him
self on his skill in throwing the base
ball, would owe it purely to luck
should he bring down jack rabbit
with a boomerang. Yet an Indian boy
thinks nothing of killing ten to a
dozen rabbits in a days hunt, and
not having single miss scored
against him. ~
Scientists have speculated in vain
as to the use of the boomerang
among these Indians. No other
tribes in the west or southwest use
this weapon, which has figured so
long in the history of the Pueblos.
Some scientists have claimed that the
boomerang shows the Pueblos to be
descendants of some Of the remote
Asiatic tribes that used similar weap-
ons. This, however. is regarded AZ
mere speculation, though the ances-
try OF the Pueblos, as well as of sew
,eral other. tribes Of the southwest,
is SO shrouded in darkness that one
guess is seemingly as good as an
other. tfti 3tiss

INDICATION OF VANITY.
.curious Habit Of Running the Hand
Through the Hair Common
Among Men.

..Why. does q man always run his
hand through his hair when he takes
his hat off," asked an observant
man, according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. did you ever no.
tice that man will invariably do this
very thing? Is it just q nervous
habit? is it vanity? It is an old
habit I have never known man
who did not indulge this habit. Even
men who have no hair to run their
fingers through, men whose heads
are as bald as billiard balls, will
brush their hands over their heads
when they lift their hats. # tho
men simply wanted to smooth their
tousled hair, of course, this would
afford ample explanation Of the habit.
But why should man who has no
hair on his head do the same thing?
It is not sufficient answer to say
that such man may have had a
full suit of hair at one time, and that
it is simply matter OF habit con-
tracted under different conditions.
As rule men are unconscious of the
fact. They do not know why, how
or when they run their hands over
their heads. But they all do it just
the same. Go into courtroom. or
at any place where men congregate,
and where it is necessary for them
to remove their hats, and watch
them. You will observe that every
man will go through the same per.
Torrance. It seems to be a perfect
II natural thing for them to do. My
own conclusion is that it is an evil
dence of vanity. A man wants his
hair to be just 50. Originally, prob
ably it was simply matter Of tidi-
ness. But it has grown into an act
Of vanity. The lawyer, for instance,
If he has enough hair for the pur-
pose, will want his head to have q
tousled appearance. It gives him q
studious appearance, and leaves the
impression that he has been strug-
Cling with the books. Whatever the
reason the habit is curious one, and
one which seems to be deep-rooted
in the masculine nature"
