Prices That Wild Animals Bring In
the interior.
The prices of wild animals naturally
ductuate with the demand. An ex-
cessive supply Of ~rhinoceroses would
soon reduce the market value. Five for

Great Showing Of Mexican Military
When Taft and Diaz Meet.
The Mexican government proposes
making an effective display of at least
the numerical strength Of it's army
upon the occasion Of the meeting Of
Presidents Taft and Diaz at Ell Paso,
Tex. The Mexican war department
announces that the military demon
stration will surpass anything Of its
kind in recent years and that between
5000 and 10000 soldiers will escort
General Diaz to the border and remain
there until his return from Ell Paso.
Every branch of the army will be rep
resented.
1t is believed that the government
has taken advantage Of the occasion
to make a military demonstration for
the benefit Of the revolutionists who
are referred to as Reyes agitators.
The different ~detachments Of the army
will give exhibitions and participate
In maneuvers en- route from the CAPT.
tai northward.
General Trevino, the most highly re-
garded commander of Mexico, will be
in charge of the troops. He is making
great preparations to impress the dis
contented natives with the power of
the service.
1t is announced that the United
States will be represented by about
5000 soldiers, under command of Cen
eral Meyer Of the department of Tex
as. Accompanying President Taft's es-
corr will be three military bands, one
of which will be the mounted band of
fifty musicians known as the White
Troopers band. MeXico's army will
not furnish any band, but there will
be four other bands with General
Diaz's party on the journey to the Rio
Grande.
According to the program for the
entertainment and reception Of Presi-
dents Taft and Diaz, there will be
three dinners for these distinguished
officials OH Oct. 16 in Ell Paso, Tex.
This program is announced by Ignacio
de Ia Barra, congressman from the

The silencing was so ~effectual that the

There was 20 doubt that the blow

HUNTING ROCK R e

the Sand Hills Of Arabia.
How long the Arab has inhabited the
deserts of the near east is Il much dis
cussed question. How long he has In
dulged in the old time sport of falconry
it Is equally difficult to say. Sure it is
that this keen blooded race has not
lived all these centuries in those sun
scOrched wastes without some sort Of
recreation. and his delights today are
probably much the same as those of
his ancestors a couple Of thousand
years ago.
Curious to see what natural sport
these barren regions could afford, the
writer accepted IN invitation to join a
party Of Syrian Arabs for a weeks
hunting. Our quarry was the rock
hare, an animal about the size of an
English rabbit, but with very fine de-
veloped ears, which frequents these
deserts in small numbers, living on
what scanty heritage it can find.
We started straight away In search
Of 1t by forming a chain about q quar-
ter OF a mile long and drawing like
~ tracts Of desert in long semicircular
sweeps. The heritage was very scant
indeed. These sand hills. being scorch-
ed by u tropical sun and having a
yearly rainfall of only some three
inches. support but few plants Of any
kind. l noticed a few insectivorous

voracity, as though they found it hard

bearer. whose face seemed invariable,
his manner unmoved. Hours passed
by. 1t was now II o'clock. The sun
was hot above us, drying up our
parched lips. l began to think that
rock hares must be a myth when sud-
denly the hound leaped forward with
a great bound, our horses ~instinctively
following a. full gallop. But we had
not far to go. 1t was only a "gar-
bour." The hound was soon up to it,
and l thought it was all over; but. no
the little creature leaped, as it were,
right out of his mouth.
one spring brought the greyhound
alongside again. but again this agile
Quadruped had slipped out Of the
grasp Of his sharp teeth. The speed of
the tiny thing was so great and its
actions so sudden that IT was as much
as the eye could do to follow it at
all. Again it's great pursuer sprang
upon it; again this nimble animal
slipped from his very jaws. But it
was no good. 1t was outclassed in
size. These great leaps shook the very
life breath from its frail body.
At last it fell al easy prey to its re-
lentless enemy, and n crunch put an
end to its miseries. 1t was an inter.
esting little beast. its body about the
size of a rat. 1t carried a fine long
coat, was gray on the back. with white
