Romance
: eliminates in Wedding

Willow Springs, Mo.-A romance
that had its inception at Tyrone. Pa,
almost sixty years ago. ended here
recently In the marriage Of william
c. Tussey, seventy-four years old, Of
Tyrone and Miss Emma Deffenbaugh,
seventy,two, of Willow Springs. They
were sweethearts In the Pennsylvania

seventeen years old and Tussey was
nineteen. After a disagreement Miss
Deffenbaugh came West and settled
in Missouri, but never married. Tus-
sey married and reared one son. Sew
eral years ago his wife died and he
sought the sweetheart of his boyhood
days. He learned that she was trav-
cling through California and he got in
touch with her by letter. Core
spondence followed and several days
ago Miss Deffenbaugh returned to VIII
low Springs and Tussey lost no time
In coming here. The bride has been
spending much Of her time the last
several years in travel through Col
orado, California and Washington.

Kansas at War
With Rabbit:

ering many square miles. The rab-
bits are driven by men and dogs into
a woven wire enclosure and there
killed. During the late fall and win
ter there are many Of these drives,
some Of them participated in by five
to eight hundred men and boys and
some women. The catch often runs as
high as 1000 rabbits. The usual
practice is to scalp the rabbits and
get the ears to collect the bounty,
which frequently goes to some church
or society. and the carcasses are
shipped to the Salvation army and
other institutions in the large cities to
be distributed to the poor or sold. The
fur Is taken for making hats and
other felt cloth. There have been
weeks in Kansas when as high as FIVE
carloads Of jack rabbits, all under re-
frigeration, have been shipped out OF
the state
Higher Bounty Brings Results.
The state does not pay any bounty
for the killing of the Jack rabbits.
This bounty is paid entirely by the
counties and II Is matter of local
option whether or not the county
pays the bounty. But every county
where the rabbits have been particd-
larly bad pays the bounty and the
people are glad to pay 1t from the
taxes in order to keep down the num-
ber Of rabbits and the damage they
do to growing crops and trees.
In some counties the question has
been submitted to vote of the people
and has always carried. The bounties
frequently ran up to four and five
thousand dollars year to the coun-
ties, and 1t will likely run consider
ably higher now with the bounty
doubled. The amount was raised
from 5 to 10 cents head last April
and all the counties showed heavy in
creases in the numbers of rabbits
killed every month. Some counties
ran 30 per cent month more boun-
ties since the new law went into ef-
feet than before.
Men and boys devote good deal
Of time to hunting Jack rabbits during
the fall and winter and the spring
months
For years Kansas had a fight with
the prairie dogs but they were finally
driven away or killed off. The dogs
were killed ewith poisons put In their
burrows. But the jack rabbit has no
burrow and has never been known to
eat poisoned foods. During extreme
weather the rabbits will come into
feed lots and eat corn or other feeds
given to cattle, sheep or hogs, but no
one has devised scheme for poison
Ing grains TO prevent the Jack rabbit
detecting 1t and avoiding the poisoned
foods.

Places Earth's
Age at Millions

by soldiers on the dull days Of war
has been brought to light by the insti-
tuition and Is set forth in the report
This concerns studies of the speed Of
flight by birds made by officers and
soldiers Of the anti-aircraft batteries
In France.
Speed of Birds.
Many of the birds were sighted by
means of theodolites at two anti-air-
craft stations. Others were timed be-
tween two points of known distances
with stop-watches, while others were
paced" by airplanes. the speeds be-
ing read on the airspeed Indicators.
The following speeds for some of the
familiar birds were determined, in
miles per hour: Crows, $50; star
lings, 40; swallows, 81; swifts,
over 6S; pelicans. 81; geese, 55 ;
ducks, 42--40. and lapwings, 40-45.
1t was found that birds have two
speeds, one normal rate, used for
everyday purposes and also for MI
grafton; and an accelerated speed,
which Is used for protection or pur-
suit, and which In some cases nearly
doubles the rate of normal speed.
Among the most interesting papers
Is one by DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, Of the
United States National museum, on

old American families in which there
has been no admixture Of foreign

Among the conclusions reached by
Hrdlicka are the following:
Two-thirds of the males and three

Box of Sand From China
Found to Be Gold Ore

Bethlehem. Pa. - Speculation was
rife when a 300-pound box, covered
with Chinese symbols. was received at
the chemical laboratory of Lehigh uni
versity and. when opened, was found
to contain sand. Only the fact that all
charges were prepaid dispelled the con-
viction that the laboratory was the vic
tim of a practical joke.
The mystery was solved when a
Chinese student happened by and.
translating the writing, explained that
the sand" was gold ore, sent from
China by former student for use In
the course in assaying, which Is con-
Quoted at Lehigh every summer. SAM
Piles of the ore were distributed at
once, and in few hours the value of
the ore was ascertained.

New Indian Tribe
Roaming the Arctic

A tribe of Indians hitherto un-
known, unclassified and uncon-
nected with any of the known
families Of red men, has been
discovered In the interior of
Labrador by DR.. Truman Michel
son, chronological expert Of the
Smithsonian Institution.
Doctor Nicholson returned re-
Gently to Washington after
spending the summer studying
the Eskimos and Indians of
northern Labrador. In the
course of this study he became
aware of the existence of
mysterious red tribe that roams
like nomads along the Icy rocks
of this Arctic territory.
Every effort to classify them
or to connect this offshoot In
American ethnology with any
known Indian tribe failed. Their
language is unlntelligible. They
cannot be studied and are bit
terly hostile to the snail pace of
civilization into the frozen north.

Doubling Of Bounty Increases
Annual KiIf to More Than
100000.

Topeka, Kan.-Four million jack
rabbits Is the annual "kill' of the
Kansas hunters, according to an esti-
mate prepared by state officials fol-
lowing the receipts of reports from
nearly half the counties of the state
as to the bounty that had been paid
for rabbits during the year. The
bounty for jack rabbits is now 10
cents a head. 1t was five cents head
for many years but this was not suf-
ficient to pay the cost of the ammuni-
ton used to kill them and the rabbits
became SO numerous last winter and
during the previous summer that the
legislature doubled the amount of the
bounty.
Damage Drops and Trees.
Those who travel through Kansas
on railroad trains or by motor car and
are watching during the early morn
ing or just about sundown can see
the rabbits playing about In alfalfa
fields or pasture lands. The rabbits
may be seen literally by the thou
sands any evening or any morning.
They do inestimable damage to young
crops and to trees.
1t is estimated by officials that the
average jack rabbit will do damage
exceeding one dollar every year by
girdling trees. particularly fruit trees
and by cutting the roots of alfalfa and
cutting the young corn and sorghum
plants. In the eastern part of the
state where the fields are well fenced
and the country rather thickly popu-
lated, the Jack rabbit is not so nu-
merous.
