CATCHES RABBITS IN NUMBER.
Victim Traps Himself and Resets
IT.. cn,ra for Others

Victim Traps Himself and Resets
The Snare for Others.
Consul General Bray reports from
Melbourne that new rabbit trap is
being used in Australia with great
success, whereby rabbits may be
caught alive in very large numbers.
1t is used in connection with small
trap yards, diagrams for the construc.
ton of which are supplied by the
patentee of the traps. The trap it
self is IS inches long, - inches high
and inches in width. 1t has bal
anced moving floor and a door at
each end, which opens and closes au.
tomatically. The weight of a rabbit
on the inverse end of floor closes
the door behind him by which he has
entered and opens the door in front
leading to the trap yard, so that the
rabbit has no option but to go on,
and when he leaves the trap 1t goes
book 10 its former position, thus re-
setting itself. The small trap yards
are constructed of dolble-wire netting
fences, in the spaces between when
green folder or hay is cultivated or
provided, and, although these foods
cannot be reached by the rabbits, IT
entices them 10 enter through the
traps to try and get out the fodder
from the other side. Two, three or
more traps may be used in connec'
ton with each trap yard. The inFen-
tion has been tried with great sue
cess on several extensive ranches in
Australia and the inventor has =
number of certificates from leading
ranchmen, one Of whom states that
with two OF the traps set at small
water hole he caught G30 rabbits In
one night.

Inspiration in the Life and Character of Abraham
Lincoln His Wonderful Political Career

The twelfth day of February. in the
year 1909, was a day of great import
to the United States, for it was on
that day that Abraham Lincoln came
into the world, says a writer in the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The place of, his
birth, unmarked to-day save for rude
flagstaff, was in Hardin county, Ken
lucky, known now as LaRue county.
No greatsmans was ever born into a
humber home.
Thomas Lincoln, the father Of Abra-
ham, had married handsome girl
named Nancy Hanks in 1906, and
there was a little girl named Sarah
in the family when the little Abraham
was born.
The homely little boy, born in the
rude log cabin of single room, that
eyente1l day, came to an inheritance
of poverty and toll, neither of which
gave him a great deal of concern be.
cause he had also inherited wonder
fully cheerful spirit, and he had the
happy faculty of seeing the humorous
side of every situation in life.
Lincoln was boy of but seven
years when his father, who had some.
thing Of restless spirit, followed a
brother OF his, named Joseph, to
Spencer county, Indiana, and located
