When the settler on the western
prairie sees jack rabbit for the first
time he has an idea that he can just
skip out and lay hands on the creature
without any trouble. but that Is where
the man gets fooled. The rabbit Is
awkward, appears to be lame In every
Joint, holds up one foot as though II
panied him and altogether creates the
belief that he is a dilapidated wreck
of an ungainly, animate thing. The
settler is surprised that he cannot
grab" him. The settlers dog also Is
confident that he can quickly make an
end Of the rabbit. He bristles, runs
leisurely toward the rabbit, doubles
his speed, doubles 1t again, triples that,
ouadruples the whole, when, 10, the
rabbit disappears. There is some NY
ing grass, vanishing streak or light,
a twInkling of two prodded feet ex-
tended rearward, and he is gone. The
dog sits on his launches and concludes
that he did not see rabbit at all.
