Interesting figures on the relative
agility of hares and rabbits are given
in a volume by J. @. Millais. when
running at ease" he says, the length
Of the hare's stride Is about four feet,
but under conditions OF fear its leaps
extend to ten and twelve feet. while
some authors claim that 1t can jump
fen bitches twenty to twenty-five feet
in width. Perpendicularly a hare can
jump on to FIVE foot wall, but seems
to be nonplused by one about six feet
The stride of the rabbit Is about two
feet When necessary 1t can make
leaps of six or seven feet horizontally.
About three feet Is the highest that
rabbit can attain to even when helped
by the asperities OF a stone wall" Mr..
MIlIais tells how rabbits swim-when
compelled to: 'sThey swim with the
head held as high as possible. while
the hooks of the hind legs appear
above the element at each stroke. The
shoulders and front part OF the body
are buried beneath the water. while
the rump and tail are high and dry"

BANKER FEARFUL IN DEFENSE.
Evidence AIlIn At Barlow Trial at
Mason Citv.

Mason City-Reciting his life's
history with dramatic pathos, the
Gears at times forcing their way to
his eyes, Banker j. D. Barlow OF
Thornton proved powerful witness
for himself. With his statements
concerning himself and his banking
methods, evidence in the case was
announced all in, and district court
adjourned over Sunday. The case
ends with two weeks Of solid testi-
mony, and every item of business
which the Bank of Thornton has had
anything to do with has been care
Gully scrutinized. The final scene in
the court room was the Testimony
of j. D. Barlow himself, who recited
his career from boyhood to the pres
ent time. At times the recital was
most dramatic, and moved the wit
ness to tears as he told of his for
mer hopes and aspirations.
He said he never dreamed of max
Ing an assignment on the 9th day
of May, 1906, when he came to
Mason City to advise with his attor-
neys what best to do to meet the
demands of his creditors, who were
crowding him. The final summons
came from the City National bank
here on the evening of May s. last
year. Barlow said he hitched up a
team and drove to Mason City that
night, arriving about II o'clock. He
was met by his attorney and long
conference held. He maintained
that he could meet the demands.
The conference continued until noon
of the day of May 8, when the de-
cisive moment came, as train was
due upon which the word had to be
sent to Thornton, when Barlow re-
luctantly placed his name to the deed
of assignment, saying, 81 have no
idea what did sign" That night
he left for Chicago, and for several
days after that did not visit his home.

the Orient, President Mckinley sent
Major Conger to Pekin to represent
the United States. He was reluctant
to go, because he learned to love Rio,
and he realized the difficulties ahead,
but he was good soldier and obeyed
the word of command.
1t was in Pekin that the splendid
courage of Major Conger manifested
itself. He handled the delicate situa-
ton with great tact and when the
BOXER" crisis came on Major Conger
was virtually in command of the be-
leaguered legationers penned up in a
compound in the great city of anarchy
When it was first learned that the
legation was penned up there was
talk of having special commissioner
sent to handle the situation, but the
president had supreme confidence in
Major Conger and kept him in COM
mand, and later when the army and
navy came into the game Major Con-
ger still retained his authority alb.
solutely. 1t was due Major Conger
more than to any other one person
that in this crisis the attitude of the
United States remained firmly
friendly to the Chinese government
and that the great republic retained
the friendship of the Orientals.
About three years ago Major Conger
resigned to return home, and as a
compliment President Roosevelt
made him ambassador to Mexico be-
fore he retired, the Mexican position
being higher in rank than that at
Pekin.
The fact that Major Conger, as
minister to China, came nearer to
the throne of China than any other
person, is well known. He made of
himself real power there. He
Travelled extensively in China and
made himself familiar with the peo.
pie. His attitude was ever that of
the Christian gentleman seeking how
best he could help these people while
fairly representing his own country.
He was not loved by the commercial
element which sought to exploit the
Orient, but he did have the confidence
and respect of the missionary ele-
ment.
