A SIP ANGH FACE

Last Tuesday, three-quarters ora mile
west of Solomon Rapids, a Central
Branch freight crew saw an unusual
sight. A greyhound and jackrabbit run
ming a race, and the dog in the lead.
Aaron Blanlze, Homer Bostwick and
Earl Brubaker saw the unusual sight.
Their explanation is that the dog start
ed to chase the rabbit. and pressing it
pretty hard, the rabbit jumped to one
side, and the dog didn't know it. The
race occurred in a corn field, and the
rabbit didn't know the dog was in front,
so both kept pulling out for dear life.
The three men named saw the race for
two hundred yards; then the train came
to a curve, and the dog and rabbit were
soon out Of sight.-Atchison Globe.

THE CALL or THE Wild.

Spring fever gets

Just every bird
Yells out. ''HelloHs
Just every stream
Seems c0axinz one
To where it WimDies
In the SUM-
And every tree
On every hill
Just beckons till
One can't keep still.
And cattle low.
and bees ba%zooIn,
And roses fling
Their sweet perfume,
And blossoms nod
Up to the sun
Out where the grassy
Billows run.
And purple thistles
Have grown tail,
And morning glories
Top the wall
anu trumpet blooms
Light w the trees,
And daisies cling
About the knees.
And everywhere
And everything
Joins in the chorus
Say, it's spring.
And you get wild
To up and go
Away out where
The cattle low,
Out by stream.
At break of morn,
Out where fish tales
Are being born.
