Rabbit-catehIne Scheme.

There is always something new I'M
der the sun. The latest scheme or
invention to catch rabbits has just
reached US and it occurred during the
last snow near Siler City. A man OF
this township went hunting the day
after the snow and coming to piece
Of new ground found literally hun
dreds of tracks. There were dozens
Of brush piles in the field and the
tracks, OF course, all led to those
piles. A bright idea was suggested to
this hunter and he at once went
home, secured a seining net and re-
turned to the field ready for business.
The long seine was placed around a
pile and the rabbits shooed out, and
by the time he had visited fifteen piles
he had more rabbits than he could
carry and then had to discontinue his
wholesale efforts.-Siler City IN. CD

The Silent Member.

the convention he is seldom heard
from. He is known as the silent mem.
ber Of the northeast corner of the
convention hall. Just one speech he
has made and that less than five min.
utes long, when he told the conven.
tion why he advocated good roads
and why he wouldn't be a stickler for
any special form of good roads
amendment just 80 the convention
might frame good proposal.
But even if he is silent, Judge
Smith is one of the most effective
workers. He has the unique distinc.
tion of never having been out of his
seat when the convention was in ses.
sion. Therefore, ho has never missed
hearing a speech and he has never
missed a vote, and straight through
he has voted for progressive mea-
sures.

DREAMED the plowman tolt


~ me: Grow your bread
And tend your fields alone; 1 plow no
more"
The weaver bade me spin the clothes
wore,
The masons quit the wall above my head.
Deserted so by all who warmed and fed
And sheltered me, my heart was sad and
d. sore,
For seek what path I would. I heard the
roar
OF sullen lions; and the sky was lead.
My eyes fell open, and I saw the sun,
1 heard a hundred hammers beat as
one;
The plowboy whistle and the builder
call;
And then knew my happiness-and then
I felt my endless debt to other men
And since that morning have loved them
all. -Suuy Pruchonnte.

Leaders in that element Of the con-

to gain the approval of majority of
the voters of the state when 1t may

Wants Shot at Petit.

Judge Albion 2. Blair of Adams
county fame, has written beseeching
letter to President Herbert Bigelow,
of the Ohio constitutional convention,
asking for the opportunity to appear
before that body and deliver an ad'
dress roustful of Delegate George
Petit, who halls from that depraved
bailiwick. Last month Petit, after
sitting patiently all winter listen

Adams as the horrible example when
ever they talked of diseased govern

two hours devoted himself to skinning

trated the hide of the good Judge,
who wrote letters of protest that
heated the mail bag that brought
them here. But that's as far as he
got with his denial. Now he wants
to mount the marble rostrum and wax
it into Petit. This eminent skinner
expresses the fervent hope that the
request will be granted, promising to
produce the records against the
Judge. The chances are, however,
that the convention will not issue an
invitation to Blair, much as it may
want to learn of the real truth about
Adams county.
