Danger That Turks in a Rabbit.

A correspondent of the Washington
Post tells of a rabbit which killed a
hound with one blow of its claws. A
rabbit is more dangerous than is really
thought. Last winter on Pocosin
creek Mr.. John Hobbs, while hunting
rabbits, had his dog run one into hol-
low log. AS he stopped to peep into the
log the rabbit leaped out full against
Mr.. Hobbs, breaking his nose and knock
ing him upon his dog with such force as
to crush that animal to death. The rab-
bit escaped. We don't know as to the
truth of the story in the Washington
Post, but Mr.. Hobbs is living but dis

Times heard of it and bitter and not
undeserved attack was the conse-
quence. The post Office replied by the
service of writ for libel, but the case
was not pressed further. No doubt
some one in high places had blundered
and it was considered to be desirable
to say nothing more about it. But the
function of supplying the summary of
news was soon discontinued by the

TOO MUCH LOVE-MAKING.
London Art School of Twenty Years.
Standing Disrupted by Spoony
Students.

Prof. Hubert Herkomer, the noted
painter, has closed his well-known art
school at Bushey, near London, because
OF the irrepressible love-making of the
students. This school, says a LON
don report, quite an art institu-
ton in England, was established p
years ago and has been conducted by the
professor without any gain to himself,
but merely out of love for art.
The students work together Of late,
especially, they have contracted the hab-
it of falling in love with one another.
Eighteen couples out of IS are now en-
gagged.
Love-making, the professor says, is far
more seriously pursued than the study of
art. So he has withdrawn his patronage
from the school, which accordingly
comes to an end.
The students Indignantly contend that
they are at liberty to court when the
days work is over and that nothing con-
tributes more to developing artistic capa-
bilities than love.
The chauffeur is beginning to become

Formerly the Eighty young woman Of

Nowadays the good-looking expert
chauffeur is run after by the same class
of young persons, with the same results.
Society is ringing at the moment with
the story of handsome girl of % belong
ing to one Of the Oldest untitled families
in England who has announced her posi-
tive intention of marrying her fathers
chauffeur. She has an income Of 81, 900
and must succeed ultimately to a great
fortune. Her parents sent for the
chauffeur and offered him $50, 900 cash
down to decline their daughters hand.
He simply asked:
What is the matter with me? have
given my word, and no money can make
me break it."
Thus the affair stands at present. The
girls parents are distracted. 1t is simply
a not uncommon case of an impression
able girl who gets crazed about motoring
and comes to regard the chauffeur as the

THE MOSAIC METHOD.

for forty years.

him a lot OF common sense.
When he had learned 20 do n few
things right then God called on him
and gave him an order.
Moses had a lot OF zeal when he
knew everything except how TO do Il
right.
Now that he knew how to do II
right and had an order he lost his
zeal.
He wanted HIS brother to be given
the order. so God let him have part OF
Il. But by pushing Moses along God
made him very useful and a practical
leader.
Moses got mad over the follies OF
his followers and then made a fool Of
himself for a minute.

been more useful II he had asked God
In place OF getting mad.
