HUNTING ROCK HAREs.
A Fleet Little Animal Found Among
the Sand Hills Of Arabia.

A Fleet Little Animal Found Among
tho Sand Hills Of Arabia.
How long the Arab has inhabited the
deserts Of the near east is 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 an invitation to join a
party of Syrian Arabs for 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 It by forming chain about 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.

How to Know tho Twins.

The Beverly twins. Fred and Frank
were such exact counterparts Of each
other that none of the neighbors could
tell them apart. and even their mother
sometimes had her doubts. The re,
semblance is accentuated by the fact
that they are dressed exactly alike.
"How in the world can you yourself
tell which is which. Mrs. Beverly

From a volume by Hon. A. e. Ste.

incident which deserves a place in
memory:
A touching scene occurred in the
house of representatives a number of

time addressed the speaker. All eyes
were turned in his direction as he
stood calmly awaiting recognition. He
was tall. spare and erect. His ven.

the words, Sweet Alice. Ben Bolt"
A moment later and from the floor and
gallery many voices blended in the
familiar refrain. Don't you remem-
Der sweet Alice. Ben Bolt?"
The ovation which Immediately fol-
lowed was such as is rarely witnessed
In the great hail. Business was sus-
pended for the moment and the hand
of the new member warmly grasped
by the chosen representatives of all
parties and sections. 1t was an in
spring tribute. one worthily bestowed

The Waters Under tho Earth.
Below depth of six miles under the
surface of the earth's crust it is be.
lieved that no water can exist in the
rock formations, because the tremen.
dous pressure probably closes all
pores. But above that level the guam
tity Of underground water is estimated
to be equal to one-third Of all the wa
ter contained in the oceans. If poured
over the land surface Of the globe the
underground water would. it is averred,
be sufficient to cover it to a uniform
depth Of from 5000 to $500 feet.

trip over the entire Big Sandy d.

Among others we learn that the

the president and vice president OF

Some of thees meetings in our

of attendance and interest and we
hope the farmers will redeem them
selves this year and attend in
great numbers. Farming has become
the most profitable general business
in the United States, but in order to
reap the greatest profits 1t is nee
