hymn the rabbit hunt. The exciting
chase before the well-trained hound is
quite a different affair, and no sports
man who has once INDUCED himself in
it will ever again treat the rabbit hunt
with scorn.
THE part of the dog in the rabbit
hunt is In itself worthy of any sports
mans consideration. Then to kill a
rabbit while it is fitting before the
dog through the brush or across the
narrow space in some hazy vista is a
feat which tries the skill of the best
and truest of wing shots. The gun
ner will be amazed to find, the first
time he goes out to pit his skill against
the tactics of the rabbit, how many
of the fleet little cottontails he doesn't
get.
However much birds or deer may
vary in number in different parts Of
the country, rabbits are always in suf-
fieient evidence everywhere for the
furnishing of sport in the chase. The
covers of nearby New Jersey abound
with them. Long Island is a paradise
for rabbits. The as yet unsettled and
thicket grown areas of the Palisades
Of the Hudson throng with the timid
yet venturesome creatures, as do the
Westchester wilds on the very border
of New York city. In the farther
away but yet not distant hills and
swamps and tangled reaches of Or
ange county not only the cottontail
but that larger and fleeter relative,
the varying hare, known locally as
Jack rabbit, is plentiful denizen, and
capable of inducing the dob to still
greater efforts In the chase, and re-
quiring superior skill in the gunner.

OLD BROAD CREEK CHURCH.
1t 10 In Ruins Now, Yet Washin ator
Once Worshiped There.

Within eight miles from the nation
al capitol at Washington is an old
church which was built in 1894. Its
parish was founded even before that.
Very few people have lever heard of
THIS old church, for the simple reason
that for the past fifty years the place
mas been falling to rack and ruin.
II Is a famous church, and in the
early days 1t was a well known parish.
Tor 1t was the first that was founded
near the city of Washington. OF late
years the old families have all moved
away, and their children have had in
terests elsewhere. They have all for
gotten the little old church where
their ancestors worshiped.
1t was this church of ST. Johns that
George Washington attended on his
frequent visits to its side of the river.
A few years back those old parishion-
ers who could remember their fathers
stories of having seen Washington
rowed by his slaves over from Mount
vernon to service there, put on Wash
ington's pew in the old church sill
Yer plate as memorial to him.
The old graveyard is overgrown
with honeysuckie, but beneath the
masses of vine there are many famous
Old Maryland people buried.
The church itself is a curious old
structure. 1t is nearly square and the
bricks. which are of exceptional size,
were imported from England. The
hardware was also imported.
There Is no chancel at all in the
church. There is a place where the
altar should be that is set apart from
the church by small rail. At enc
time there was a great high pulpit,
but this was taken out by some rector
who thought that it was unnecessary.

The hero received a bronze medal
and $1,000 toward liquidating mort
gage on his property.
For an act of heroism, rivaling as a
spectacle the climax of a melodrama
and the feature of a circus, Leo Har-
old Nokes of Sac City, Ia, has been
given a bronze medal.
Nokes, a high school student, 20
years of age, saved a little girl from
being run over by a train, by crossing
the track on bicycle, in the face of
the fast approaching locomotive and
carrying the child out of danger just
in time.
The young man had ridden his
wheel, on which he was an expert, to
the depot on an errand and was
awaiting the arrival Of the train. Just
as it drew near the crossing at the
south end of the depot platform, he
saw children approaching on their way
from. school, among them a little boy
and his younger sister. The boy
crossed the track in safety, but the
girl hesitated until the train was close
and then started across, but appeared
to be dazed.
1t was evident to Nokes. looking on
at a distance, that the child would not
escape the locomotive unless helped.
Instantly he mounted his wheel and
rode swiftly toward the crossing.
The crowd at the depot platform
yelled warning, believing that Nokes
must have lost his head. Then the
bicycle rider, with the engine close
upon him, was seen to ride directly on
to the track, and without losing speed
lean over and catch the child and pull
it on with him to a place of safety,
the COW catcher of the engine barely
missing the wheel.
Evidently Andrew Carnegie knew
what he was talking about when at
the time of establishing the $4,000, 900
fund he made the remark:
I'VE live in heroic age."-Chioago

he is placed as late as 1910. Leaving
Burke's he proceeded again to Ran

Hamilton's, shortly after II.
If this chain can be firmly establish
ed by facts, sworn to by reliable wit
nesses 1t would certainly seem that
if the crime Is to be fastened upon
Ferna1d Eldridee, 1t will have to be
at an earlier hour than 7.15 Sunday
morning, and DR.. Merrill, who lives
across the way Is firmly convinced
that he saw the elder Eldridge, at 8
o'clock. Possibly the mysterious man,
who enters the case on the arrival of
the nine o'clock car disappears when
1t becomes known that Alberton B..
Barker alighted at Spears Corner at
that time. Mr. Barker clothes seem
to fit the description of the mysterious
chap. Barker walked a short distance
toward the Hallowell road, when he
was taken in by Roy DeFratus and
his mother, who were driving home.
Mr.. Barker IL known to but few resi-
dents of that section. as he has very
recently purchased the Roxanna
Woodbury. farm, which adjoins the
Eldridge place on the west. Mr.. Bark
er came to Gardiner, at o'clock Sun
day.
The fact OF Mr.. Bankers being at his
recently purchased home may possibly
account for the testimony of James w.
Small, and that 1t was Barker and not
Young Eldridge that Small saw, at
$50 In fact such a case is highly
probable as Barker's place is between
the Small and the Eldridge place. and
ii would be easy to mistake the exact
position of a man standing on the
Barker place.
If the arraignment is made 1t will be
IN the Gardiner municipal court which
has Jurisdiction over the West Gardi
ner territory.
