81 read a little story the other day
about a man who was knocked down ps
a big Jack rabbit and severely injured
san the man with a red eye and that
reminds me of a pet rabbit that once pc
longed to friend of mine down IN the
Black Belt who was named SIMPSON
The crowd got a good grip on the ran
ing of the bar and awaited developments
.erhe way Simpson got acquainted with
his rabbit was rather peculiar. he
named the animal squeers, in honor OF
an uncle of his who was expected to ole
some day and leave legacy OF $50
simpson was out hunting one frosty
morning when the snow was deep ana
rabbit tracks were plentiful. lie was
trudglng along when suddenly his dog
Bill. began a terrific rumpus beneath a
pine tree log. Simpson went up to in
vestigate and just as he stopped down to
peer into the hole that Bill was valorously
besieging a big jack rabbit jumped out
and hit Simpson full IN the enest It
knocked him over on his back In the
snow but he held on to the rabbit and
carried him home.
Before long Squeers became very tame
and got so he would follow simpson
around like a dog. 1t was not long be-
fore Simpson got the notion that he
might useSqueers as a decoy when hunt
ing and began to train his rabbit to sit
out in the snow while he hid behind a
stump and waited for other rabbits to
come out to inspect the stranger. After
he got used to 1t squeers seemed to en-
joy the sport immensely and would sit
perfectly still until Simpson bagged his
game.
well. during an entire winter Slmp-
son carried his pet rabbit out nearly
every day and he always killed several
rabbits before he got home. Squeers
did not seem to regret betraying his rela
tives bit. but on the contrary began to
look down on them with contempt ana
became very ehummy with the dog. Bill.
IT'S a sad tale. Simpson used to tie
there would be no danger of his hitting
his own rabbit instead of the wild rab-
bit, although he could nearly always tell
which was Squeers at distance of
twenty-five yards. One morning saueers
lost his collar while out hunting and
Simpson killed him by mistake.
81 thought Simpon never would get
over his loss. but he did and took to
drink. He buried Squeers just like he
was a child and the whole community
went into mourning. That was about the
only hunting rabbit l ever heard of and
few people now believe that he really
lived"
Somebody coughed apologetically and
the barkeeper hunted up, the glasses.

Broncho Busters Scarce

Civilization is making such rapid
strides in the west that'even the bronchos
are getting tanner and there are fewer
broncho busters now than there were ten
years ago." said a newspaper man who
has recently returned from trip through
Arizona and New Mexico. In fact the
typical broncho buster who has been
written about so many times In the maya
zines and has become closely identified
with the picturesque side of western life
is getting to be decidedly scare and there
is not such a demand for his services as
in the past.
Several explanations may be given of
this state of affairs. In the first place the
wire fence has done away with the nee
essity for having a large number of cow
boys to look after cattle. One man can
now do the work of ten before ferees
took the place of men in keeping the cat
tie herded together. Again the railroads
have eliminated the drive that was once
a stirring feature of western life. The
Icing cattle drive of the past is now prac-
ticaly unknown and the cattle are load
ed on a train close to the ranch where
they were bred. More advanced methods
row prevail on the ranches and the cow
boys who once spent days on the plains
in dangerous but picturesque defence Of
the herd entrusted to his care has been
lowered almost to the rank of a common
farm hand. with very little romance about
his work.
As | said before. the bronchos like
the broncho busters are not so necessary
on the ranches these days and the breed
is also much tanner than formerly. Texas
ponies are now bred principally for ship
ment to the south and east. A ear load
of horses were shipped to this state a
few days ago and there is a great de-
mand for them in all parts of the coun
try. or course these ponies are not broken
by any means and some of them will vet
buck strenuously enough to upset the
average tenderfoot, but their wild spirit
seems to have been broken by civiliza
ton and the task of breaking them to
harness has become comparatively easy."

DR.. Williams Explains.

A Denver evening paper stated that
Rev. G. G. Williams informed his congre-
CATION on recent Sunday that the curse
of God should rest upon those who re-
mained at home for dinner instead of at
tending church. Dr. Williams being well
known here we clipped and published a
portion of the article.
DR.. Williams feels that great injus-
tice has been done him. The following,
published in the Denver Post of Novem-
Der 20, explains itself:
II never invoked the curse of God up
on any member of my congregation or
anyone else. 1t is an infamous misrep-
resentation to say that | did such a
thing. i made an earnest appeal to my
people to attend the service Christmas
morning and not to stay away to prepare
the Christmas dinner. ] urged that the
day should be put apart for the church
service, the reception of new members
and the celebration of the Lords supper,
and that all social arrangements should
be made so as not to interfere with these.
"The only manner in which the curse
of God was used was that ! said that as
a messenger of God gave the invitation
to attend church on that day, and said
that it may be the curse of God may rest
upon those who did not attend service.
