filled tomorrow night
Insanity will be the plea advanced in
Hickey's behalf. The first move by At

the court to defend the confessed murder
er, was to ask postponement of the trial.
To read an affidavit by DR.. Herman s.

is insane and was insane when he killed

LETTER FROM JUNIOR.
Nature Study Lesson for Country Schools.

Rabbit Outline-lst, kind of animal;
End, found where; 3rd, color; 4th, it's de-
Tense; 5th, its habits; 9th, food; 9TH, uses
Rabbit genus of rodent animals, belong
ing to the same family as the hares,
though they are smaller and have shorter
ears and hind legs. They are found in
all regions except IN extremely cold eli
mates. 1t is supposed they were first
found in the western part of the Med
iterranean basin.
The color in the wild state is almost
uniformly brown, but under domestica-
ton it may become black, white gray and
epotted.
The rabbit is very timid animal and
seeks safety by very rapid running, and
is closely pressed will find shelter in a
burrow in the hillside.
In the wild state it pairs for life, but
when domesticated it ceases to pair The
young are brought forth in litters, num-
bering from three to eight, and are blind
and naked at birth, but are carefully car
ed for by the mother in the burrows
They begin to breed at six month and
have several litters each year.
The average life of rabbit is seven or
eight years, They have well developed
senses but remain concealed the greater
part of the day, only coming out at early
twilight to roam about in search of food.
Rabbits feed on grass, heritage, vegetables
and bark, often inficting considerable
damage to young plants and orchards.
The flesh OF the rabbit is used for food.
1t is not considered good during summer
months but after they have become fet
from feeding on fruits and grain in au4
tumn they are very palatable. Their
skins are used in making glue and size
and the hair is used for making felt. The
fur is useful also for making articles of
wearing apparel or for initiating more
costly furs.
The enemies of the rabbit are man and
his accessories, weasel and wet weather
during breeding season, drowning the
young in their burrows.
Rodent, gnawing animals, mammal an
imals, the young Of which are nourished
by milk. SILENCE.

Uncle Sam Both Lost and
Won in Anthracite Case.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December TO-
Uncle Sam lost and won his case against
The Anthracite Coal Trust by decision
If the Supreme Court today. The gov
eminent lost the better part of its case
against the combine, winning out in only
one particular, but this one count sus-
tanned by the court was said to forecast
i revolutionary change in anthracite
handling. The court refused to dissolve
m alleged combination of six great an
thracite coal carrying railroads in the
keystone State, 43 big operators and a
number of subsidiary coal companies
which the government charged where
in control of 80 per cent of all the an
thracite deposits in the state, and dom
mated three-fourths Of the annual pro
duction.
The court limited, however, that separ-
ate dissolution suits againet the alleged
railroad merger might be brought The
partial victory secured by the govern
ment was in the court declaring illegal
the so.called IS per cent. contract system,
plan by which the operators were paid
IS per cent. of the tidewater prices for
coal by the railroads and agreed to turn
over the entire output. Also the court
sustains the decision of the Pennsylvania
Federal Court in dissolving the Temple
Iron Comany, holding anthracite organ
ization by independent operators to con-
troll additional output.
That the government erred in bring
ing one single suit against the railroad
merger and the coal producing concerns
was held by the court. Inter Mountain.
