The Rabbit Roundup.

Alamosa Courier A numb ber OF
our business men joined a rabbit
hunt at Waverley last Wednesday
and 4 most enjoyable time was spent.
There were about seventy hunters,
divided into squads each squad hav-
ing captain, in order to avoid pro-
miscuous shooting. According to re-
ports there were 327 cottontails and
jackrabbits bagged, besides two big
coyotes. A wolfe was also seen but
due to its being tame one the de-
sire to bag it was suppressed. An
elaborate spread was served in the
Waverley school house by the wives
of the farmers of WaveIley, which
was quickly dispatched by the men
behind the guns. Those who at
tended the roundup say that it was a
great treat ami that repetition of it
is eagerly looked forward to.

A new Mark Twain story as
told by Captain Ii. Lacy, who knew
Sam Clemmons when he was an
"onery" boy in Hannibal, Mo.
"a tramp printer named Smell blew
into Hannibal one day and was given
work an paper. He was an uncom-
municative sort of fellow, but good
worker and obedient. Sam Clemmons
decided to bring him out of his reserve
and to do it he borrowed a skeleton
from doctors office and slipped it
into the printers bed. Then we got
around to "A window about bedtime
to see what was going to happen.
The printer pulled off his shoes, piled
his clothes over on the floor and blew
out the light. The next thing we
supposed would be yell and printer
shooting OF the window in his night
shirt. But there wasent anything of
the sort. There was a sleepy yawn
and
sect over on your own side, darn
you"
1--WE heard the gastly bedmate of
Smell fall to the floor, and then every
thing was quite except for the snoring
of the sleeping printer. The joke bad
failed and we went to our room in dis
gust.
Next day Snell didn's show up
and we began to feel little hopeful
that maybe the trick had worked after
all. But we were again disappointed.
Smell was in gin mill, boiling drunk
and having time of his life.
"Killed er man deader'n red
Injin," he yelled "an shell carpsus
fer dollar an sheventy five! Wow'
"He had rolled the skeleton up
in sheet ond sold it to another doc
