Jumping. as a mode of locomotion, is
shared by a variety of animals of wide

ana robins among birds. as well as such
iainiler forms as frogs cockcls ctickcts
and fleas-all illustrate this proncncss TO
leap mostly as a means of getting quick

tigers, which never spring under oordin-
airy circumstances, readily adopt this
method Of attaching their victims.

c, A. R. FIGHTS RULE.
Markley Says Many Veter-
ans Cannot Show Record.

The new ruling of the commission
ers of pensions at Washington that
civil war veterans must furnish COM
plete and Bible records showing their
identity has caused a small amount
OF dissatisfaction among the members
OF the G. A. r. here. although there
is no one in this city who will be
effected by the order.
John Markley, bailiff of the circuit
court and a prominent member of the
G. a. r, believes that many men OF
prominent families who enlisted in the
civil war and served under assumed
names, and hundreds of negroes now
living in this state may be affected by
the ruling.
Some men wished TO cover up their
identity for good reasons during the
war, and under the new ruling, il
would be almost impossible for them
to prove their identity" he comment
ed. Hundreds of negroes who fought
with the north were taken out of slav-
cry and have neither family name nor
Bible records to show their service.
believe that the ruling will work a
hardship on many of these persons.
