The easterners, especially the boys,

When a blacksmith, named Lyon,
declared that the body of a drowned
woman, recently exhumed at. Creil
France, was that of his wife, Juliette,
who deserted him two years ago, a
death certificate was made out in her
name. Juliette, however, was very
much alive, and, after reading the
story In 4he Petit Parisien, she wrote
an Indignant letter to the authorities,
demanding to be "officially resusci-
tated."

By simply catching jackrabbits on
Kansas prairies, Charles Payne of
Wichita, has earned a comfortable liv-
ing for more than twenty years. He
has caught mqre than a hundred thou-
sand of these high-eared animals, and
has sold them at an average of $2
Cafeji, delivered at the catching
gr&unds. They have been sent to
coftrsing clubs, not only in the l;nited
StA\e«, but in England, where this
form of sport has become popular.
Mai^ have been sold for propagation
purposes In game preserves. Payne
has mlide several different shipments
to tiweden.
The speed of the jack rabbit is phe-
nomenal for an animal of its size.
Piyne was asked how fast a jack rab-
bit could run.
"Well," he replied, "I never tried to
measure the speed of a jack rabbit
which was doing Its, level best, but I
wbhld guess that a big one could run
about .forty miles an hour. Jack rab-
bits frequent open prairie country,
and for ho other reason, in my opin-
ion, than that they are so fast they
would,break their necks running In a
timbered country."
! There are two species of jack rab-
l its-HJhe has a white tail and the
other, a black tall.. The white-tailed
jat.k rabbit inhabits the foothills of
til" Rock mountains in Colorado,
wltHe tlttf other ranges from Califor-
nia to the eastern borders of Kansas.
♦■ Payne catches most of his jack rab-
bits in Harper county, Kansas, near
tlli little' town of Crissfleld. His out-
fit requires about a dozen men and as
nlany horses. Finding a locality where
jack rabbits are plentiful, a fence of
netting'is put up around 160 acres of
land, to the height of an ordinary wire
fence- In. all its ramifications this
netting is about three miles In length.
A't intetvals wings extend for several
hJindred yards toward the middle of
the inclosure, at right angles to the
boundary netting- . At the end of each
wing Is a pocket. Distributed at in-
tervals along the netting fence are
crates for the captured rabbits.
Up bounds a jack rabbit- The horse-
man instantly pursues at full speed. A
jack rabbit prefers a straightaway
run if possible, and he is allowed to
drive toward the netting at full speed.
Frequently the rabbit does not Bee the
netting until too close to halt- There
Is a headon collision, and the rabbit
often is thrown back fifteen or twen-
ty feet If it is Blow In regaining its
feet the horseman springs from his
saddle and seizes the bewildered rab-
bit before it can recover itself- The
rabbit is tumbled into the nearest
crate.
A veteran jack rabbit, however,' is
not so easily taken- TTpon reaching
'gcr and go whizzing along until he
'meets the barrier opposed by the
wing. That proves his undoing, as he
goes recklessly into the pocket and Is
'soon entangled in the netting, from
which he is dragged and tossed into a
'crate.
\ Hour after hour the sport contin-
ues, until no rabbits remain inside
4he inclosure. Scores of rabbits often
may be found on a 160-acre tract-
" The riders are exposed constantly
to .the danger of their horse's step-
'.ping into a prairie dog hole- At such
tlriies both horse and rider somer-
sault to the ground. A number of
Payne's best jack rabbit hunters have
been severely injured in this way and
occasionally a horse will break his
neck in falling. That increases ex-
penses, as Payne provides mounts for
his hnnters. The hunters are usually
cowboys. None of his men ever have
been killed-
His most experienced jack rabbit
catcher is James Crow, who lives at
Alfalfa county, Oklahoma. At first
the business has the novelty of sport,
and the newly employed riders begin
with much enthusiasm. At the end of
of two or three days, however, the
rider usually is too sore and stiff to
waste his energy in unnecessary rid-
ing and the sport becomes real work.
Payne pays his men a dollar for
ea£h rabbit they catch. His outfit
moves from' place to place, choosing
such localities as most favored by
jack rabbits. Farmers welcome the
hunters, as often jack rabbits are a
pest and the farmers are glad to be
rid of them. Payne trains his men,
and the members of his present out-
fit have been working for him by the
last twelve years.

Tuesday morning of this week,
when chambermaids at two hotels in
Boston unlocked rooms in hotels
where they are employed, they found
four dead bodies. In one of the rooms
a Mrs- Gormley, of Boston, and Cbas-
Huber, a Roxbury, Mess., man, were
found. Apparently the man had shot
the woman and then himself. The
cause is 8aid to have been that Huber
was despondent because Mrs. Gorm-
ley was married already. In the room
in the other hotel a man named Wil-
liam Janninno, of Boston, had shot
and killed Margaret Qulnn- They
were to have been married the next
day, and after a supper at a cafe with
some friends, had gone to the hotel
to spend the remainder of the night
together. The bride-elect grew con-
fidential, and told the man she ex-
pected to marry the next day that she
had been married to another man six
years, and had a little girl live years
old. The shock broke Janninno's
