RABBIT SCALPs IN TRADE.
In Western Kansas They Are Exchanged
for Groceries.

Did you ever hear of rabbit scalps be-
ing rated as an article of commerce or
as a medium of exchange in the same
manner as eggs and butter? Out in Ire.
go county, Kan, tn e county seat OF
which is Wakeeney, the merchants pay
five cents each for rabbit scalps, no mat.
ter whether the unfortunate bunny
was full grown or not. w. j. Williams,
who is the proprietor of grocery. store
in Wakeeny, bought 2S40 scalps during
this year. John Keraus, another mer
chant of the same place, bought 2t6O
scalps, while no merchant in the little
town paid for less than so scalps.
The farmers and ranchmen bring rab-
bit scalps to the county stores along with
eggs and butter. The grocer accepts and
counts them with no more ado than IL
they were so many eggs
A few years ago Trego county, IN the
hope of DISCRIMINATING the troublesome
jackrabbits, decided to pay bounty OF
five cents for rabbit scalps, the money to
be paid whenever the scalps were pre-
scented at the county treasurer's office.
Soon after men who had never before
been seen in Wakeeney came. to the
court house with big sacks of scalps.
Finally the county commissioners grew
suspicious, and it eventually developed
that certain residents OF nelghbormg
counties were taking advantage of Ire
20 : bounty law anu were DIlllSllS Snaps
from as far away as fifty miles.
To discourage this practice the county
decided to allow payment for scalps not
more often than every three months.
Three months was q long time to wait
The hunters became impatient at the
long delay. 1t remained for the mer-
chants to solve the difficulty. According
ly it was announced through the columns
of the weekly papers that rabbit scalps
would be taken at the grocery stores in
exchange for merchandise, provided the
owner of the scalps would give his word
that they were taken from rabbits killed
in Trego county.
The plan proved a success. Instead Of
the farmers making a weekly trip to the
court house the merchants reported every
three months at the commissioners Of
fee and the bills were allowed.
During the months of March, April
and May the total amount of bills allow
ed by the commissioners for rabbit scalps
was $56S. In other words Trego county
killed 1890 rabbits during the three
months.-Kansas City Star.

LITTLE CIGARS LEGAL
GOODRICH WINS IN APPEAL TO SU-
PREME COURT.
Cigarettes Wrapped with Tobacco Instead
of Paper Are Not Cigarettes, Ac-
cording to Highest Court.

MADISON, Wis. Oct. 15.-[Special.l
The state supreme court today decided
that cigarettes are not cigarettes if they
are wrapped with tobacco instead of
paper. The decision is in the appeal of
Story Goodrich, who was convicted in
the municipal court of Milwaukee OF
selling cigarettes. The lower court is re-
versed by the supreme court.
During his trial Goodrich showed that
while the cigarettes he sold contained
the usual tine-cut tobacco, they were
wrapped with tobacco, instead of pa
per. 1t was commended on the part OF
Goodrich that the anti-cigarette law
does not apply to cigarettes with to-
bacco cover, and the supreme court
takes this view of the matter.
