Rabbits have always been an impor-
tant source of meat in Europe, but
in the United States until recently
few of them were eaten except during
the winter hunting season. Condi-
lions resulting from the great war
have awakened many Americans to the
economic value Of rabbits and more
and more people each year are raising
sufficient in their back yards to supply
the family table. The flesh OF the
young domesticated rabbits is vastly
superior in fiber and favor to that of
the wild rabbits. 1t closely resembles

NEGROES DIVE THROUGH WINDOW TO FREEDOM
 CHECKED BY DEPUTY

Through quick action on the part of Deputy Sheriff Al De Witt, the escape of John Davidson, a negro prisoner. from a west bound Southern Pacific train near Tucson last Tuesday night was stopped as suddenly as it began. Davidson, who had been committed to the state insane asylum al Phoenix by Judge O'Connor of Nogales, was in charge of Sheriff Raymond Earhart. Deputy De Witt was returning from Tucson where he had been called to testify before the federal grand jury.
 few miles from Tucson while the train was travelling at fast rate ot speed, Davidson, who was handcuffe and had on leg irons, decided suddenly that he was going in the wrong direc- tion and dived through the open car window. Deputy De Witt, who was sitting with Sheriff Earhart, saw Dav- idson as he dived and caught the chain which bound the leg irons together as
 the feet of the negro were disappear l ing through the window.
 The officers were unable to pull l Davidson back into the car when he spread out is elbows so they caught on
 the sides of the car. The train wac

When Fortune Smiled

How fortune thus strangely favors the lucky man was illustrated several years ago in the case of J. C. Adams It was few years before the destruc- ton of the former Hotel Adams. a four story brick structure, by fire. One midsummer day, when there was not cloud in the sky, J. C. was sauntering down Center street. Tn q window Of a real estate, insurance and lo1n com pany he noticed a card setting out that lightning insurance was obtain able within. That was before light ming clauses were common in fire in surance policies, and J. c. remembered that he had neglected 10 take out light ming insurance. It occurred to him that a lightning insurance policy would be q handy thing to have around. Any way, it would not take up much room.
 He went into the office and had his hotel insured against ravag-ss by light ming. Now that J. C. was heeled the storm god felt at liberty to proceed and in an hour his black troops were marshaled in the heavens. which were filled with forked darts and golden colored, fiery ropes. One stroke hit the northwest corner of the hotel ants knocked a wheelbarrow load of bricks to the pavement The insurance com pany paid J. c. S100

A Lesson in Borrowing

That it is one thing to soothe an aiIing human to restfulness and quite another to coax an ailing motor car into action was discovered some little time ago by two young nurses of the city These nurses looked with long ing upon a certain motor car which was parked regularly in front of the place where they performed their daily duties It seemed a shame to them that so delightful an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful days and delightful scenery motoring about the Salt River valley should be overlooked.
 Two young men timidly approached a house about a mile outside the Phoe- nix city limits.
 Please, we're in trouble" they an nounced to the woman who answered their knock at the door. We have stolen"
 Borrowed" corrected the compan- ion of the spokesman.
 "Yes. we have borrowed an automo- bile and it is stalled right out here in front of your house We are nurses and have to report on duty in thirty minutes. Is there anyone around here that can fix automobiles

 Suddenly Sheriff Montgomery re- marked that it was raining gophers. and pointed to a lone gopher that was struggling westward on Washington street between the car tracks. The hail would knock the animal down, but IL would recover and travel few feet farther before another stone would strike it.
 Another old-timer who was present stated that raining gophers was noth- ing at all in comparison 10 q raln- storm he once witnessed. It actually rained fishes. he said; fishes two inches long.

 When the Trimners Got Trimmed
 Stick to your own speciality" might be given as the moral of this little tale, for that is the lesson several local amateur wise birds" learGed the other day.
 It was Friday noon. the day of the big hailstorm here. An individual whose appearance betrayed the farmer sauntered up the street and stopped in front of a pool hall to look at the sky already darkening with threats of what was to come.
 I'll bet a hundred dollars it halls before night" remarked the farmer tc the world at large.
 Members of the little group of the usual loungers near by jumped at the chance. Here was a real chance they thought. Whoever heard of it hailins in Phoenix in recent years, anyway Here was a lamb ripe for the slaugh- ter; it would be just like finding money.
 The sportsmen lost no time in rais- ing among themselves $100 and giving the rancher to understand they were ready to fade" his bet. The wager was accordingly made.
 Exactly an hour and half later disconsolate group of self styled sports lounged in the shelter of theil favorite tarrying place and watched hailstones as big as marbles com' crashing down outside. The sight o a certain farmer coolly walking dowr the street, buffeted by wind and rair and hail, failed to relieve their discom- future. They knew he was on his way with their hundred dollars.
