In clear, precise statements, as clear

outlined his belief in the ability of

Not a Word Wizard

When the delegates to the Chicago
convention nominated Calvin Cool
ldge few weeks ago to help carry
the Republican standard throughout
the country they did not nominate
an orator-at least not one Of the
"Howery dells" type-but they nomi-
mated man who has, perhaps, the
most curious capacity for vote get
ing in the United States to-day.
They may not have considered it
When they shouted his choice by ac-
clamatlon out in Chicago, but they
grated candidate who can impress
people without spread-eagle oratory
and who can convince people deeply
with his sheer honesty Of expression
and ms very inability to handle those
traditional oratorical tricks-verbal
pyrotechnics, platform setting-up ex-
efclses, throaty sobs, dramatic
pauses and the moribund markings
back to the immortal souls who suf-
lefea at Valley Forge and died at
Bunker Hill and Lexington.
10 those who heard Calvin Cool
'oge read a comparatively brief ad-
oFesS accepting his newest nominal
n0n few days ago at Allen Field,
Smith College campus, Northamp-
'On' Mass, there were none who
Gould doubt his sincerity. At least
twenty thousand of the twenty-five
aouSand-odd who stood in a broil-
lug sun TO hear him outline a pana-
'ea for national ills inflicted by "a
solunteer autocracy" did not stand
'1ere to hear an Grafton. Hailing
mostly from the nearby Connecticut
valley, they had heard the "silent
pohtician' almost drone his speeches
At them on former occasions and
men had gone to vote for him al
most en- masse.

The Jackrabbit's Speed-A Correction

IA Kansas reader sends this to
The Tribune]
a SHORT time ago The New
~ York Tribune printed a
X "a story about the speed of
various members Of the ami
NAL kingdom. In the story was
this paragraph:
"Out in Kansas crazy jack
rabbit started up beside a passen-
ger train making forty miles an
hour. The passengers crowded the
platforms and the windows and
whooped it up for the jack The jack
went completely insane and raced
the train for miles, never losing an
inch or a jump. AS the train and
the jack flashed past the last mile
post neck and neck the jack curled
up in the air in the middle of a
jump and lightly squatted on his
launches and rubbed one Of his
forefeet over his nose. The jack
rabbit is speedy, all right, but he's
plumb crazy"
Shucks. That guy never did see
that rabbit really run. He was Just
taking his morning or evening"
whichever time Of day the incident
Observation-Disclosures. He was
just out for a leisurely stroll, so to
speak. A Kansas jackrabbit never
really begins to run until he lays
back his ears and stretches himself
out to about four times his usual
length. Then how he does go, look
ing like gray streak!
Time Out for Luncheon
That rabbit was just sorta Looping
along to keep ahead of train going
forty miles an hour He could have
stopped at neighboring alfalfa
field, eaten a leisurely breakfast or
dinner, and even lolled around a
bit while he picked his teeth, and
still caught up with and beaten that
train.

dispute the chap who wrote the piece

Another Governor COOLIDGE

The Governor also volunteered
that there are three old fintlock
muskets in the farmhouse at Plym-
outh, which he inspected on his re-
cent vacation there. One Of them
was used in the American Revolu-
ton. Getting back to more recent
family history, he disclosed that his
office as Governor Of Massachusetts
was not the first public position of
that caliber filled by Coolidge. Car
los Coolidge, an ancestor, was Gov
ernor of Vermont in 1849, and P.
Jefferson Coolidge, another of the
family, American Ambassador to
France.

bit puts on little more speed, so
that when the bullet catches up with
him the rabbit and bullet are going
at about the same speed. Then the
rabbit jumps into the air, catches
the bullet in his teeth, turns a SOM
ersault or two and comes up smil-
ing, just like a ballplayer who makes
one of those shoetop catches.
Shoot at a jackrabbit with a shot
gun loaded with buckshot and if the
hunter appears at least friendly the
rabbit will catch eight or ten of the
bullets and bring them back to him,
dropping them all in little pile at
the hunters feet and then hop off
few PAGES and wait for the hunter
to load up again. Rabbits have been
known to retrieve bullets fifteen or
twenty times and then go off to
chase railroad train or pop-pop or
a motor car.
There are a good many aeroplane
men around Kansas just now and
they are thinking of doing some
rabbit chasing with their machines.
The aeroplane is about the only ma
chine that could catch a rabbit. and
II there was a real acrobat on the
board the machine might swoop
down and this man lean over the
wings and pick up the rabbit. Of
course he would have to be mighty
quick with his hands, because the
rabbit might skid his wheels a bit
and dodge back under the machine
and get away.

rection in the interest Of accuracy an

The Rabbit Skids

There are a lot of fellows with
high-speed motor cars who have I'M
dertaken the little job of running
down jackrabbit They have beer
successful only when they got 70
crowding the rabbit too close and he
lodged back and got caught under
the wheels. Ordinarily the rabbit
can make the dodge back and be a
mile away and just Looping along by
the time the car is turned around.
The rabbit is quite a dodger when
1t comes to getting away. He seems
to skid his wheels and then put on a
sort Of sideslip. Motor car drivers
have often actually run down coy
otes and sometimes they are able to
run down an antelope, but they sell
dom run down a jackrabbit. Motor
cycle riders often try the same sport.
1t is quite exhilarating, but seldom
produces results.

The Careless Farmland

A harvest hand was walking along
the track one morning and stepped
out to the side of the track to let a
train go by. He saw a rabbit COM
ing along and reached out, expect
ing to catch him. The mans arm
was broken in seven or eleven places
by the impact and he was knocked
thirty feet out into the right of way.
The engineer stopped and the train
crew picked him up and took him to
4 hospital. The engineer cussed the
poor harvest hand all the way in for
interfering with his regular morn
ing race.
Jackrabbits may be plumb crazy
but they are pretty blamed smart,
too. They can be killed by shots
from high-powered rife-that is,
if the rabbit is sitting still. One of
the favorite amusements of iackrab-
bits is to hike off ahead of the
hunter and when he shoots the rab-
