Topeka, Kan, one night recently
w. f.. Haafe, an automobile agent ut
Natoma, was on his way to Kansas
City, and as the road was good, was
keeping up about all the law permits In
the way Of speed when jack rabbit
chose the same route. Haafe thought
it would be Joke to make the rabbit
take a siding, and ran his speedometer
up to within 80 per cent Of Its ndver-
tSed ability. But having chosen east
as his general direction and that par
ticular road as his route, the rabbit
continued to plod along at little bet
ter than 80 miles an hour.
The rabbit did not turn out, but
portion Of the pursuing car did. After
he had crawled out Of ditch and
twisted himself into shape, Haafe
caught a car into Topeka, where he
waited until daylight to hunt wheel,
which had left the general wreckage
and taken refuge in a corn field.

FISH SWALLOWED RING
It Had Diamond In It and Had Been
Lost.

Lost.
That truth is stranger than fiction
was demonstrated at HoopestOn, ILL.,,
the other day when Ray Tllton, n
young farmer, received letter from
Peoria saying diamond ring, valued
ut $3.50, had been found in the stom-
ach Of FISH which had been caught
in the Illinois river.
In July Tllton was at Peoria, and
while rowing on the river the ring
dropped off his finger. He never ex-
pected to see it again. and was much
surprised to receive the letter.
The writer said Ire caught the fish
and, while dressing it, saw something
bright fall out Of the stomach. He
also said he would be glad to send the
ring to Hoopeston If Tilton would send
the reward offered In a Peoria news
paper. The owner sent check for
$50 to the Peoria man.
