Rabbi Jumps Into Auto.

They are telling this for fact says the
New York Sun
A dog was chasing a rabbit through
field adjoining the mountain road, on the
outskirts Of Caldwell, aud was gaining Oh
the quarry, when Charles Crampsey,a New
ark business man, with two friends, came
ssaag the snad d his is1ol5sfe. The
course Of the dog and rabbit was diagonal
TO the line Of the road, and the rabbit
reached the stone wall bounding the field
just as the automobile came along. The
next leap of the rabbit landed it in the
front seat of the car beside Mr.. Crampsey,
who was driving. The dog, which was
several yards behind, took off from the wall
a moment later and landed in the road just
behind The car.
The rabbit, relieved to be as rest after his
flight for life, cuddled close to Mr.. Cramp.
sey, who put reaasuriug arm about it and
speeded his machine to get away from the
dog, which was followed close. But the
dog stuck, aud one dog to fifty horse was
gaining on the machine when OF sudden
il dropped IN its tracks.
When it did not rise again Mr. Crampsey
stopped his machine, and While he remained
behind and kept cne arm around the rab-
bit, his two friends, one of whom cor
yeniently happened to be veterinary, got
out and walked back TO the dog. The
veterinary pronounced the dog dead and
said that with heart weakened by over
exertion il had been suffocated by the fumes
Of the gasoline.
Mr.. Cramnsey then left the rabbit alone
in the car and went back aud had look
himself, and when The party returned to
their seats the rabbit was where it had been
Left. Mr.. Crampsey took the bunny home
with him and will give it to his children
for pet.

MEMBERS OF BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Not Eligible for0fEice of District Clerk
State Superintendent of Schools, Charles
J. Ba. y, has ruled that members of Boards
of Education cannos hold the office OF dis
trict clerk, oa the ground shat man can
not be employed. and at the same time be
his own employer. This ruling was made
last week in letter TO G. w. Hall, dissrict
clerk Of Rockaway township, Morris conn
~. The position, he says, is incompatible.
II this ruling OF the State Superintendent
is 10 be put into effect it will reach almost
every Board Of Education in the State, par
tioulariy 80 in this county. We doubt if
there is single board in the county but
what the district clerk Is also a member Of
the board. This arrangement has always
proven satisfactory 90 she various school
districts, and She service bias been as good
as shough the clerk was chosen outside Of
She Board, and u many cases their services
have been TOO valuable 10 loss under this.
