Catching Rabbits.

Joseph Ordway OF Balsam Lake,
Mich, has cat mat is in class all
by itself, and is somewhat ahead OF
most rabbit hunting hounds. This
pussy. whose voice e. night is unlike
:hat of its fellows, is sure money
saver for its own er In replelishing
The la-der the cat plays an important
part in the Ordway household.
Whenever fresh meat is desired
Ordway takes the cat outside, shows
it rabbit skin and then returns to
the house. Within an hour at the
longest the cat will return dragging
good sized rabbit, which is deposited
1t its masters feet.
Ordway has owned the cat several
years and cannot account for it's
hunting propensities He remembers
having at one time taken rabbit
from the cat and patting pussy en-
couragingly for having captured
Bunny.
Since then the sight of the rabbit
skin is sufficient to send the cat out.
Crdway has never been fortunate
enough to be on hard when his hunt

WILSON AND HARVEY
CROCODILE TEARS FLOW FREEST
FROM ENEMIES
OF the New Jersey Governor Over
His Break With the New York
Trust Editor.

A Washington dispatch says the
Wilson-Harvey episode brought Fri
day simultaneously with the arrival
of Col Henry Watterson, state
ment by William F. McComD, CAM
paign manager for Woodrow Wilson,
declaring that "the tears that are be-
ing shed over the passing incident
are wrung from those who have hith-
erto been the mos. conspicuous op-
ponents of Gov. Wilson.
Col. Watterson, who will be here
several days in connection with the
work of the Berry memorial COM
mittee, read the McComb statement
as well as the one made today at
Nashville, Tenn, BY Judge Robert
Ewing, but declined to comment on
either.
"As to the Wilson matter said
the Colonel, Il have nothing to add
to what already has been said un-
less it be seriously challenged by
some responsible person. The ri may
have a good dal to say
Til statement issued by Mr.. Nc
Comb follows:
With reference to the alleged
Wilson-Harvey incident. it seems to
me that Col Watterson has said in a
statement all that needs to be said.
1t appears therefore that as far back
as last October he himself suggested
to Gov. Wilson that Col. Harvey's
support through Earper's Weekly,
might be injurious end that he rrob-
ably told Col. Harvey himself ne
same thing. 1t would seem that Col
Wat.erson had convinced the gov
ernor of the truth Of his opiaion, and
had at least impressed Col. Harvey
with the probability of its truth, else
Col. Harvey would not have pro-
pounded the question. 1t is passing
strange that Col Watterson should
feel concern that the governo: in pri'
yate conversation with himself anc
Col. Harvey should in answer to 6
pointed question give frank express
sion to the very view which MIR. Wat
terson himself entertained and which
he had communicate to the COVER
nor and probably to Col. Harvey.
in October, last, the very month
in which he made the suggestion tt
Gov. Wilson, Col. Watterson said
in the Louisville Courier-Journal
editorially:
Two things seem tolerably sure
to the surmise of The Courier-Jour
nal: If Woodrow Wilson is nomi
mated for president, it will be through
the force of an irresistible pressure
of public opinion, and if he is de-
feated for the nomination, it vii
be by some organized agency, wei
backed with money.

o'clock was the signal for the first
outbreak, when strikers stoned the
gates of the Wood, Washington
