OF course New York Is cosmopolitan

For instance, the days news with

politanism. But here's another ex-
ample:

RABBIT PUT DOG TO FLIGHT.
Remarkable Incident Vouehed for by
Well-known Writer.

While the controversy between the
nature writer's and observers was at
its height, valued correspondent who
lives in Memphis related to the Farm.
er a peculiar incident that fell under
her eyes In her home town She was
speaking Of the controversy in general,
and of Brother Rabbit in particular,
and went on to remark that one day,
while she was selecting meats from
her butcher, she observed a large
black rabbit seated on the counter,
washing its face after the fashion of
contented cat. While she was pay.
ing for her purchases, and watching
the rabbit with some curiosity, a small
dog, attracted by the smell of meat,
came into the shop and began to nose
around. The rabbit no soooner caught
sight Of this intruder than 1t leaped
from the counter. and ran toward the
dog, evidently with no friendly inten-
tion. What might have occurred under
other circumstances, It is impossible
to say, but the dog turned tail and
went scampering from the premises.
Having rid the shop of its traditional
enemy, the rabbit returned to its place
on the counter keeping a watchful eye
on the door. Now, what nature writer,
nature lover, observer of animals, or
moose hunter. is prepared to rise up
and dispute the accuracy of observa-
tion of the Farmers correspondent?
She had no gun or other frearm, no
camera, nor any of the various equip
ments that belong to this branch Of
our native literature. Is her story be-
lieyable? The Farmer knows II is
true. but he is not a naturalist nor a
nature writer.-Joel Chandler Harris
