The Mule Foot Hog

Children Do Not Mind as

DR.. Roger II. bennett, special

New York City, is writing an in
teresting series of articles in the
Woman's Home Companion on the
daily routine, habits and discipline
of children. In an article on The
Healthy Baby" in the February
number he says in part:
Lack of discipline is an Aneri-
can weakness. You cannot imagine
the humiliation with which | have
listened to foreign born mothers of
my charity patients say. But he is
like the American child, he does
not mind.
"A child's training begins during
his first week of his life; and unless
he has learned the meaning of disci.

meant, it goes hard with him by the
time he gets out into the world, A
child's naughtiness is punished be-

not be happy himself. and he will be
The cause of unhappiness in others.
From the very first baby who
is picked up every time be cries rec

Pensions Be Paid In Full

Confederate pensioners who we're
last year paid their pensions minus
ten per cent will get the rest OF their
pay in the ccurss OF the next few
months. The House some days ago
passed q bill which provides for an
appropriation of $4,000 to make
good the deficit. Tho deficit was
due to the fact that the State makes
a fat appropriation for the pensions
and the alpount was not sufficient to
uay all in fuil. therefore the scaling
of the pensions was necessity. The
legislators teel that this is wrong.
and they proceeded to make the pro

Decision of Supreme Court Blow to
Prohibition


During the senatorial contest in
Virginia last fall the candidates ia
vored a bill to prohibit the ship
ment Of liquor from wet State
into dry" one. Now the United
States Supreme Court has handed
down a decision which seems to set
tie this point. The report is as fol-
lows:
That beer and other intoxicating
liquors are the recognized and legi-
innate subjects of interstate com
merce.
That no State can forbid any
common carrier TO transport such
articles from conSignor in one
State to q consignee in another.
That until such transportation
is concluded by delivery to the con-
signee such commodities do not be-
come subject to such regulation re-
stralning their sale or disposition.
The case arose when the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Co. re-
flushed to carry beer offered by the
f. W. Cook Brewing Co., at Evans
vile, Ind. The railroads declined
the shipments because a Kentucky
law Of 1909 forbade bringning intoXi

JACK RABBITS MAKE
RAID ON FEED YARDS
Snatch Corn Almost from Very Jaws
of CATTLE and Hogs


Mr.. L. L. Wilson, who recently
returned to his home in Lexington
from Kansas handed us the follow
ing clipping from Kansas paper OF
recent date:
Flocks OF famished jack rabbits,
desperate from hunger, are raiaing
on farm yards, feed lots and even
invading barns and granarieS of
farmers of Lane, Ness, Hodgeman
and other counties in western Kan
saS.
= The deep snow which has covered
the ground now for over a week has
driven the thousands Of jack rabbits
in from the outlying plains, to the
farm yards
Where corn has been left in the
shock it has been eaten by the rab-
bits until nothing is left. Farmers
report that the rabbits in their des-
peration for food have literally, by
their numbers, forced swine and
stock away from iced left them in
feed lots and eaten it themselves.
Frank Winslow, a ranchman OF
Hodgeman county, who was in
Hutchinson today, related an expe-
rience with the rabbits which may
cost him loss OF stock.
every day since the storm set
in, the ranch hands have been feed
ing bunch OF stock on the ranch in
the feed lots" said Mr.. Winslow.
But they reported that the stock
seemed to be famished and getting
weak and thin. l made an investi-
CATION and found that as soon as the
hands would get the feed dumped in
the lot and leave for other fields
hordes Of jack rabbits would rush OF
the feed.
THE hungry steers and cattle
had their corn and feed snatc b &C
from their very mouths by the vora
cious and half-starved jacks TIL,
rabbits had become so bold tina
they even ventured into the hos
