tossed pa in the air just as though he
had been thrown up in a blanket, and
he came down on q soft bed of strug-
Cling and scared rabbits, and the other
horsemen stopped at the edge of the
corral and watched pa, and | got off
my horse and climbed up on a post of
the corral and tried TO pick out pa.
Then all the hundred or more dogs
were let loose in amongst pa and the
rabbits, and 1t was a sight worth go
ing miles to see If it had been some
body else than pa that was holding the
center of the stage, and all the crowd
laughing at pa. and yelling to him to
stand his ground.
Well, pa swung his ak handle and
killed an occasional rabbit, but there
were thousands all around, and pa
seemed to be wading up to his middle
in rabbits. and they would jump all
over him, and bunt him with their
heads, and scratch him with their toe
nails, and the dogs would grab rabbits
and shake them, and pa would fall
down and rabbits would run over him
till you couldn't see pa at all. Then
he would raise up again and maui the
animals with his club, and his clothes
were so covered with rabbit hair that
he looked like a big rabbit himself.
He lost his hat and looked as though
he was getting exhausted, and then he
stopped and spit on his hands and
yelled to the rest of the men. who had
dismounted and were lined up at the
edge of the corral. and said: you

they always pick out sone man to
have fun with, and they picked out pa
as the victim. We rode along for a
couple of hours, flushing rabbits by the
dozen, and they would run along ahead
of us, and multiply. so that when the
corral was in sight ahead the prairie
was alive with long cared animals. so
the earth seemed to be moving, and II
almost made a man dizzy to look at
them.
The hundreds of men on horseback
had come in close together from all
sides, and when we were within half
a mile of the corral the crowd stopped
at a signal, and the leader told pa that
now was the time to make a cavalry
charge on the rabbits, and he asked pa
IL he vas afraid and wanted TO go
back, and pa said he had been a SOL
der and charged the enemy; had been
a politician and had fought In hot
campaigns; had hunted tigers and
lions in the jungle, and rode bare
backed in the circus, and gone into
lions dens, and been married, and he
guessed he was not going to show the
white feather chasing %jackrabbits.
They could sound the bugle charge as
soon as they got ready, and they would
find him in the game till the curtain
was rung down.
That was what they wanted pa to
say, so, as pas horse was tired. they
suggested that he get on to a fresh
horse, and pa said all right, they
couldn't get a horse too fresh for him
and he got on to a spunky pony, and
| noticed that there was no bit in the
pony's mouth, but only a rope around
the pony's nose, and | was afraid some.

Male Birds Lead the WAY.

When birds are migrating the males
usually precede the females. The rob-
ms, for instance, which are seen early
in the year, are almost invariably males,
which apparently Travelled on before
their mates. The female birds follow,
perhaps because they are not so pow
erful and also perhaps because they
like to take their time and gossip with
one another. In the fall the male birds
leave first-the old ones-while the fe-
males travel along together with their
young, solicitous for their welfare and
still training them after the fashion of
mother birds.

THE PARLOR.
1t Is Rapidly Becoming an Apartment
of the Past.

The American parlOg is a thing of the
past, according to architects, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. No more will
there be a Don reserved for state Oc-
casions, such as the receiving of form
al calls, the visit of the minister and
for weddings and for funerals.
I'VE never take the parlOr into con-
sideration any more" said a Cleveland
architect recently. The parlOr is
merged into the living room. The good
old fashioned parlor, which was held
in so much reverence in the old days,
has no place in modern architecture.
1.-The demand is for q large living
room in a small house, together with a
dining room and kitchen. In a larger
house there is usually a large living
room, library, 'den.' dining room and
kitchen.
Il had a client yesterday who desired
to have q reception o or parlOr not
connected with the living room. He
decided later to have q sort of recep-
ton room in connection with the hall
way.
When the parlor idea began to lose
ground we did not make a radical
change, but reduced the parlor to a
small reception room, isolated from the
others, where formal calls could be re-
ceived. Now we make no provision
for the parlor.
'In these days the reception rooms
do not have to be closed only to be
opened on the occasion Of the visit of
the family minister or the physician"
There may be many who will regret
the passing of the old fashioned coun-
try parlor, with all it's memories of Wis

THE ELEPHANT.
He Is Good Natured, DOciIe, Obedient
and Long Suffering.

He Is Good Natured, DociIe, Obedient
and Long Suffering.
1.-THE elephant is the best natured
beast in all wild creation" said a cir
Gus man. Most people have an idea
that the big beast is apt to go wrong
any time and make all kinds of trouble
for everybody. Now, as a matter OF
fact, l have never but once seen a
freak of this kind. Then the result
was directly due to the fntolerable
abuse of fiat headed grooms. 1t seems
to me that if some one was putting a
steel point or hook into a soft joint of
yours or mine many times a day and
without any good reason for 1t we
would show temper and tear up things
too. The only difference is the ele-
plant has more patience. He is docile,
obedient and long suffering. When
an elephant gets a little out of sorts
there is always some lightweight at
tendant, it seems, to fly off and say he
is 'daffy.' N~inety-nine times out of a
hundred the poor elephant has been
badly treated, and, as he cannot talk,
he does about the only thing he can do
and trumpets his disgust or possibly
goes a step further and eases his feel
ings by taking a crack with his trunk
at something within reach. Elephants
are as kind hearted and tender as wo-
men and respond to little attentions
the same way, and in the same way,
just like a woman, when they get o
ed, it takes a long while to sweeten
them again if it can be done at ALL

got the notion into his head that of

their husbands might be attached. So
an order to that effect was prOmulgat-

afforded the secretary when he receiv-
