TOR a young Rabbit Just start
- ing out in the Great World
TO make his own way wiggle.
Il nose had shown great wisdom.
He had made himself q home
in q small bramble- -tangle in q part
of the Old Pasture where it appeared
that no other Rabbit was then living.
Having carefully cut paths Just big
enough for his own use into that
tangle he had made himself familiar
with that part of the Old Pasture
Immediately around It. clearing out
old Rabbit paths that had long been
unused that he might run in them
without danger. and learning all their
twists and turns and where they
led to.
He did this for q short distance all
around his new home until he knew
every inch Of the ground, never going
very far away. There was no need
to, for he could find plenty of food,
and what more than plenty to eat
and safe retreat did any Rabbit
need? OF course, he had q measuring
tree, little tree he visited every
day and stood up against To see how
fast he was growing and that he
rubbed with his nose and chin so
that 1t would smell rabbitty and
other Rabbits happening that way
would know that he was living nearby
and that this was his tree.
So far he had had no visitors
Nothing had happened to give him

away from another part Of the Old
Pasture by a big gray Rabbit named
Old Jed Thumper. BY now he had
almost forgotten that experience. He
was growing fast. When he stood up
by that tree he could reach with his
nose nearly an inch higher than the
first time he had tried 1t. Life was
simple and peaceful and he almost
forgot that there was anything to
fear. Two or three times Reddy Fox
had passed that way, but each time
Wigglenose had been In his bramble-
tangle and Reddy, hurrying along on
other business, had not yet found
out that there was a Rabbit living
there.
Then one evening wigglenose made
a disturbing discovery. He had gone
as usual to his tree to see how far up
he could reach. The instant he put
his nose near that tree he had a
shock. The tree had been visited by
another Rabbit. His wabbly little
nose told him that. Instantly he be-
came angry. This was his tree, a
sign that he was living near and that
this was his territory. He would
hunt up this intruder and teach him
lesson. He would teach him that
there was room for but one Rabbit
there and that he was that one.

Hoary Bat.
LaSiurus cinerus.


- F YOU want to have an interesting
experience, try to get better ac-
quainted with the hoary bat.
1 These winged gnomes of the woods
are full Of surprises. Further,
they do not bring anything but them
selves into the house, and you will
find out that they have the most
wonderful method Of seeing" In the
world. ttAa
This fellow does not appear at as
early an hour as the other bats do.
but waits until the twilight has about
gone. He is also "high flyer" chas-
ing the exquisite Lady Luna moth
for his dinner. All insects are ac-
ceptable But the luna is more portly.
Evidently the fur on her handsome
body "tickles his palate" but not OBJ
jectionably. -
The hoary is about the same size
as the red bat, and is one Of the
largest North America bats. 1t Is q
handsome member Of this family.
Both sexes are clothed alike. There
Is no seasonal variation. The upper
color is hlackish at the base, the
middles Of the hairs are q light yell
low-brown, and the tips are hoary
white. The head is yellowish brown
and the breast and under parts are
the same color as the back. The
legs are q grayish buff. There is fur
on the underside from the elbow to
the wrist. The wings are leathery
and extremely sensitive.
The wing expansion is about Is
inches, and the body not over 51a
inches. While the color variation is
considerable, you cannot confuse this
bat with any of the others. It is
widely distributed, but they all look
alike. This rover Of the night loves
to take long ocean trips. He also
migrates from one State to another,
sometimes in company with his
cousin, the red bat. But the travelling
is in search Of food and not for
pleasure, and during the coldest
weather the hoary hangs upside down
in some protected spot.
Some authority has said that the
range Of this bat is as wide as the
continent. If this is true, and speci-
mems have been found in 20 States,
then the opportunity surely viii pre-
sent itself so that you can study these
strangest of all animals.
The bat is equipped for flying, but
1t has no feathers. It nurses its
young, and its wings are so sensitive
that, though you blindfold the flyer
and turn it loose In a room filed with
br1c-a-brac, not a piece will be
touched, as the creature races about
the room. If your room happens to
have stray moths in it, attracted by
the lights, their end is close at hand.
Dinner time Is after dark until dawn,
for all members Of the bat tribe.
Baby bats are born in late May
or early June. There are four babies
in this family. In others there are,
as rule, twins. BY July the young
sters have grown considerably. Clad
in the softest Of silky fur, beady black
eyes and pug noses make them the
most lovable babies.
At first, the mother takes her tiny
infants about with her as she goes
to market. Their arms hold fast
about her neck and they cling to her
breast. Later she hangs her babies
By their thumbs on handy limb, and

He dropped back to his feet and.
angrily chewing on nothing. started
to follow the scent Of the stranger.
He had made only few hops when
from behind bush at one side some
thing shot out and over him and he
received a blow in the side that
knocked him sprawling and breath
less. Before he could get to his feet
sharp teeth tore 9 bunch Of hair
from his coat. With squeal Of pain
and fright Wigglenose got to his feet
and started to run. only to, be sent
spravling again.
BY this time he had discovered
who the stranger was. 1t was Old Jed
Thunlper. the gray old Rabbit who
had warned him to leave the Old
Pasture and not come back. Old Jed
had found that measuring tree and
had hidden behind a bush. When
Wigglenose came along Old jed had
leaped out and over him, kicking him
with those long, strong hind feet Of
his. No wonder wigglenose had been
sent sprawling.
Wigglenose now had no thought OF,
fighting. His one thought was 10
get away and do It before he felt
those long heels again.

Against two no trumps South led
the five of spades. North came up
with the king and returned the nine
spot. Most players would now take
five spades and the ace Of hearts, set
ting the contract one trick. Before
playing out his good spades this South
reflected a moment. He naturally
thought that East had the king and
queen Of hearts, but he was anxious
to get a heart lead through East,
anyway. Therefore, in order that
there might be no misconception In
his partners mind he played his good
jack of spades and threw North in
the lead with the deuce of spades.
North, who had been unlocking rap
idly, won the trick with the four spot
and obediently led the queen Of hearts.
East covered-his only chance of max
ing the contract.
BY this play North and South took
five spades and four hearts, setting
two no trumps four tricks instead Of
one trick.
Had there been three hearts in
dummy to the ten spot, North's lead
would have been a small hesrt--not
the queen. South's play of throwing
him in the lead with a spade def
nitely indicated ten-ace holding In
hearts. From dummy's holding and
from his own hand North knew that
this ten-ace could only be the ace
jack.

The face Of the bat is interesting
to study. The little fraud raises his
wings in threatening manner and
Kisses at you. That iS all the harm
he can do. AS for getting into your

claw-tipped thumb would get tangled

to death. Watch him yawn and ex-
pose his tiny, sharp teeth and stick
out his pink tongue. Then how

feet long or $50 pounds in
weight: but 1t is a fighter and may

a leap, the point of its bill is 6
feet or more above the water.
If the fish does not break the lire,
or lose the hook, it may be dragged

battle may be the worst for the fish,

OUTING CENTER FOR MENDENHALL
 BEING PLAN N ED
Rifle Range Main Feature Will Have Cabin for Use of Skaters Also

Development of an outing center on Mendenhall Lake at the west side of the glacier is proposed by the United States Forest Service, it was made known today by Wellman Holbrook, Assistant Re gional Forester A rifle range is included in the plan, and a cabin to accommodate skating parties through the winter as well as those using the range will be erected.
 The site for the range and a To- cation for the cabin wer 'lected yesterday by Regional FlY,cer c. H. Flory, Mi. Holbrook and District Forest Ranger Charles Burdick, who were accompanied by John w. Jones.
 It is planned to construct low standard road from a point a short distance from the Mons Anderson ranch about one-hali mile across the flat to the cabin Slte. 1nere parKlng space TOT cars will be built The cabin will be erected right on the shore oi Mendenhall Lake, making it con- venient for skating parties.
 The range, which will be de veloped for distances up to 50t yards, lies between the lake anc the mountain. It is capable oi being developed eventually up to 1000 yards. The butts lie against the mountainside and thus elim- mate any danger to anyone from that source.
 The development is expected te be started as soon as right-of' way can be obtained for the stut road.

WASHINGTON LEGION
 INVITED TO ALASKA
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)

r. The department of Washington of the American Legion has been extended an invitation by Depart ment Commander Dwight A. Chase of Alaska to hold it's next con- vention in cool, invigorating AL aska."
 Commander Chase also invited the Washington state Legionnaires to attend the annual convention of the Department of Alaska to be held in Ketchikan September 20 to p, and it is known that at least 40 will come for this event.
 He suggests that the committee work could be done on chartered vessel, while passing through the famous sheltered inland passage and the business meetings of the conventions could be held in two or more towns to dispose of re- ports and other business.
 While it is not thought probable that the Washington department will approve the plan for the com ing year, it is believed possible that such a convention might be consid- cred for some future year. The telegraphic invitation was sent to Department Commander Edmund T. Brigham at Spokane.
