RABBIT WITH sNowsHoEs.

How Nature Provides to Save Her
Own From UntimeIy Ends.
Nature has tried many means Of saw
ing her own from the snow death
some, like the woodchuck, she puts to
sleep till the SHOWS shall be over. 9th
ers she teaches to store up food and
to hide-so she deals with the wood
mouse. To still others, as the moose,
she furnishes stills.
The last means she employs is snow
shoes. This, the simplest, most scien-
tif1c and best, is the equipment Of the
snowshoe rabbit, the Wabasso of Hia-
watha-a wonderful creature born Of a
snoWdrift crossed with little brown
hare.
The moose is like a wading bird Of
the shore that has stills and can wade
we'll for a space, but that soon reaches
the limit beyond which 1t Is no better
than land bird. But the snoWshoe Is
like the swimmer-it skins over the
surface where 1t will, not caring If
there be one or 1000 feet Of the ele-
ment below - In this lies its strength.
Wabasso has another name-the
varying hare-because 1t varies in color
with the season and the seasons IN all
its proper country are of two cOlors-
brown for six months, white for six.
So all summer long, from mid-ApriI till
mid-October, the northern hare is a lit
tie brown rabbit.
Then comes the snowy cold, the
brown coat is quickly shed, a new white
coat appears, the snowshoes grow full
CT, and the little brown hare has be-
come a white hare-the snowshoe hare

One paper sent a reporter to Mr..

up by the reporter, Mr.. Straus re-

To return and plead for an interview
was both useless and stupid. The re-
porter sat down on step and racked
his brains for a means Of forcing an
interview. Suddenly an inspiration
came to him. He dashed across the
street to a drug stone, where he could
write, and penned this note:
Dear Mr.. Straus Please pardon me
for disturbing you again, but 1t is I'M
avoidable. When the Russians were
massacring the Jews at Kishinef, the
undersigned, at your request, wrote an
article of protest that was given wide
publicity. He would consider it a re-
turn of courtesy and greatly appreciate
1t If you would give him a short inter
view at this time relative to the sub
way strike"
In less than a minute after receiving
this note Mr.. Straus escorted the re-
porter into his library, and there die
tated an interview.

America is plethoric In everything.
Our circulation is congested. In other
words, our transportation facilities are
far below our needs. Meantime loco
motive works and car factories are run
ming twenty-four hours a day. And
AL this Notwithstanding some Of our
great transcontinental lines do not pos
sess sufficient sidetracks to hold their
present equipment Of cars. We are
now as much In need of double tracking
our transcontinental lines Of railroad
as we were originally in need Of these
lines. The combined railroads could
not transport an army with necessary
supplies to the Pacific coast In six
months. Our salvation lies in the fact
that no such army will be needed. At
least let us Sc hope and pray.
