| STUDIES IN . NATURAL HISJORY J By JAME8 HENRY RICE, Jr. I i J rr THE WONDERFUL RABBIT On-an,historic occasion at New QrArec.ns, ray^Tneud.' Dr. T. S. .Palmer, ' who has spent much of his life studying rabbits, gave to the authorities as'feembled measurements of rabbits from all over the United States. Some were of immense sue, and one he devoid red was the largest rabbit known. I took issue with Dr. Palmer and >>-.claimc?^ that I had seen and handled ' .a rabbit much larger than the biggest be 9ited Jn evidence* This of qpurse ^caused somewhat, of a ' sensation. '/There were authorities present from -all over , the United States and many from 'abroad. Proof was demanded: " If was forthcoming. Here it is. and < any discerning person will be able to -decide on the evidence presented. Nearly fifty years ago in the Up>*Country of South,Carolina, thero was 'p. large farm house, built by a gdntloman from Edlsto iclaail ;in the early ' ftoys of the Nineteenth century. It was a,grand house and sat in the centre of an extensive plantation, nf. For many 'k hollo there were abandoned ields <Jf -woods; for the war between the stnteq. was fust oyer and' ntho Southern people were crushed, nnd Iithout heart , Their situation was (sperate. and the future looked dark and grim. There were two little boys on that plantation, who knew nothing of the . jRar. except thftt they heard tales of it evwy day And the community was full of men "with one leg or one arm fir one eye. and some that went on crutches.*.fBut seemed that this had ?U#^?w(en so; the little bqys had never Atnown anything ^Ibc; and the world to them was bounded by the plantation, the bounds of which seemed a long way off. Thoir imaginations filled the woods with all sorts' of things. , It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention, .and having nothing except what they could mAke for themselves, the little boys, with an occasional help from friendly negroes, ljearned to make various things. Among, these they learned the art of mttking bird traps and rabbit gums. ' They had caught a good many small birds, but the taking of a rabbit was a thing to dream of. Thuy had made several guips &nd had set them; but nothing1 came of it. Their main gum was put out to the west of the house, pot jfar from the rock wall of old graveyard, whi<;h stood In a small patch behind the garden. Beyond the graveyard was a fence around a big field, most of the field grown up in broomstraw and briars. .. The Held abounded in rabbits: for the hands caught rabbits in It. A young uncle of the boys, who was a *~" rnr>k-thrower, had killed a rabbit not Jong before as he ran by; and very often the , boyS themselves .flushed rabbits as they went about in the field. Then there were innumerable traoks and other signs. The field swarmed with rabbits. Each morning thb two little fellows went out to the . gum at the peep of day or soon thereafter as they woke. Once or twice the sliding door of the gum was found down; there was hair inside more than once. The rabbit had been in the gum; and the : boys thought that somehow he had got out. Here, however, their reason >}ng was defective. The hair in the gum showed that .the rabbit had been inside; but -it did hot show, the colored person slipping out bcfcre day and getting away with the catch. One piorning in fa. i they almost Caught a colored person making oft with a rabbit. Ku Ktux Swoop Down. However, the boys did not even suspect this. Qne night, however, the 'Ku IClux Swpoped down <fn the place and- stampeded the colored population. A three hundred-pound cook went through a window and up i^to a barn nwitfc - the agility of a cat squirrel, flw hand that had the rheumatism so bad he could hardly wa'lk jumped a fence and outran a dozen horses for ,half fy mile and got away. In every direction the negroes scattered. The morning after, when the little boys went out into the' gray dawn to their rabbit gum, the door was down and a rabbit within! They got down ? *v- uv turns and eved him un nit uui.u , . through -the cracks. Then there was held a council of war. It was agreed that the big boy bhould qpen the door, after standing the gum on end and reaching down for the rabbit. This was a first experience and a painful one. So much hung on the issue. The big boy got h good grip, after being scratched t>n the hand, and arm, for a ^>ent up rabbit will scratch to save himself, and he drew out the prize. Then, according to agreement, the little boy got hold ol the hind legs and ^they stretched the rabbit between .them. If they had been larger and with a trifle more experience, they would have knocked the rabbit on the head at once; but they failed to think of that. Holding the rabbit between them they got over the first fence and found the place where a paling was off in the garden (a thing every small boy used to know) and took the rabbit through. It was anjeasy matter then lo take him through the garden to the gute and thus around to the front of the house. . Visions of Rabbits. ----- -? It was a glorious Uiiy, was perfect. Vision following vision of large masses of rabbits, caught in succession. Every wide chimney on th,e plftce Was already filled with rabbit flesh hung up to dry. The sun was bright, skies were soft; all nature rested in a haze of contentment and satisfaction; and back of all that was seen there rose; topping the hills and with the sunlight streaming from spires and llattlcments those grand Castles in Spain, on which so many an object soul has fed. and in contemplating which so many a hungry heart has foutni delight. v . There, held fast between them, was this glorious rabbit. There remained one thing only to make happiness complete, namely, showing the prize to mother. They were so full of deep joy they could hardly call her, but she canjie and was viewing with mother love and mother pride, not the rabU/v,'? ?KAi?crKt hut thn inv L)ll, iX? L lie wyo luuugiiv, "-V .... that was in the boys' hearts. Bliss had reached its acme. There was nothing else to live for. Just then, however, the rabbit, which had beer still as a mouse, gave u leap and was gone like a flash across the yard and through the fence. The whole world came tumbling down. It was a miserable, sickening wreck of high hopes. No disaster ever even approached it. There was no longer beauty in anything; it was a common sorry day, To quiet their stormy and passionate sobs, their mother called up a negro and had him get out all the clogs-on the place. They went after that rabbit, and. during the morning, there was a .pile of rabbits caught. i i But never the lost rabbit. He was | gone for good. He was not measured; I it ifcould have been art insult to have I suggested such a thing; for he was the biggest rabbit that ever Hyed. How big I do not knov; but his ears looked like mules' cars and he himself bigger than a fox anyhow. I . Somewhere out there, in the Land of Used-to-be, that rabbit.hid himself. After which account ?very scientist present endorsed the tale; every one had seen the same rabbit; and he Always got away. Dr. Palxjier admitted that he had seen him ahd that he was digger than ?*dny "rabbit ever taken, hy.anybody.

The Russian geasants have fared best under Soviet rule, despite the fact that the government laid stress on the betterment of the condition of the city workmen ? and communists, who are mostly, city <tnd to\rn workers, according to an Associated Press correspondent" writing from Moscow. Except .in the famine areas where ove^ 2,0,000,000 are necessitous peasants, the farming population has kept the pot boiling and managed to eat much, more regularly than the city men, . TJhe great majority of the metropolitan population has returned .to the larro. The Bolshevik prevention of free interior trade has ' starved the cities whose people had to go to the country for food carrying with them their personal belonging which they traded for potatoes and flour. Ah a consequence tho thrifty farmers have become wealthy. As wealth goes In the village- they have horded rubles, household articles and wearing apparel which the city folk have prought in exchange for bread. The peasant women also have t&ken on the fashions of their city sisters, struggling in vain to make themi selves grand dames. With three cows a litter of .pigs, a flock of chickens and a potato patch, the peasant woman 'had the most desired commodities in. Russia and she exchanged flour, vegetables and meat for the trappings of city life. -Humble cabins are filled with gaudy tapestries, gilt furniture, pianos, musical instruments, Dresden china, hideous marble and bronze ornaments, silver dishes, opera coots and shoeH. The rugged peasant girls with broad shoulders, muscular arms aihl large feet, which is the result of years of ploughing and hoeing and woodchopping,' present a strange appearance in their, tiny aigretted hats, short skirts and slippers which the village shoemakers have fashioned after the Parisian models for feet oniy accustomed to the boulevards. Investigation seems ^to show that the peasants are generally pleased with the government's -new syBtem of taxation whereby the farmers .must surrender a fixed percentage of their omnia in tnvp*? tnr thf>v nrf- firtdine it far more preferable to the old requisition system. They are not resisting it to any considerable extent and seem confident that only a fixed amount will be taken. The present system 0/ free trade reminds them of old tlihes and they are generally showing satisfaction. The government seems to be gradually winning them over in a half-hearted way. Meantime the government finds its pet protegees?the city workmen? are faring worse and worse and they seem much disgruntled. Free trade Is of no assistance as the people are lacking the money to buy. In addition the government is unloading the responsibility for the feeding_of the workmen. The outcome of the complete monopolization of trade is probably wholly different than Jthe party leadership intended and the party are now finding it diffucult to explain their good intentions to the industrialists whose families lack food and clothing.
