| Rewritten. brought down TO date and

OF the old English rhyme might read:
He shall shoot the running rabbits as his

Grover Cleveland and his son went

! tate OF William Mcfarland were turned
/ into n rabbit preserve and there the ex-
president. his son and G. II. Priest of

week The ex-president Is extremely fond
OF these outings and IL they all do him
as much good as yesterday they should
prove "A valuable asset TO his health
Young Cleveland started out ueterinih-
ed TO excel the Roosevelt boys In the
hunting game. He has watched the rec
ords OF the presidents sons In their hunt
ing trips. their horseback rides with the
army and their football experiences. He
appreciates that they are strenuous, but
asserts that his aim Is just as true and
sure as theirs. He even expressed the
idea that a competition between the sons
OF the president and those OF ex-presi-
dents would not be a bad idea.
He said: IL don't see why there isn't
Just as much sport I'm shooting rabbits as
bears. They are so much smaller that IL
takes a better aim to hit one. and then
there are so many more OF them. You
don't have TO hunt days to find one"
Richard has accompanied his father on
other fishing and hunting trips. but in
other years ne has not been old enough 10
be considered a real hunter. Now he has
reached the mature age OF 10. and If his
horoscope reads true he has much success

Cleveland will have "A host Of friends, his
