His mother was a ferret. lean, yellow and pink eyed and a she devil to boot, says a writer in London Answers. His father was worse, a wild pole cat of the mountains, and a worse devil than ever. But he, the cherub, was so soft and furry and fat and creamy, and, though he had got pink eyes, there seemed to be nothing else of his mother and father about him. He never bit, he never spat, and he never used bad language, and he lived upon bread and milk, like a gentleman. So he was till the spring broke. It was their own fault, the ferreters. They took him out rabbiting, as usual. They put a collar with a bell on round his neck, as usual, and a long, long string on the collar, as usual, and they turned htm into a rabbit warren, as usual. And he sneezed three times, as usual, and h<4 walked docilely down the first rabbit hole he came to, as usual, to turn out the rabbits from their burrows, ns usual, that the sportsmen outside might shoot them as they bolted. So far, until he got Into the middle of the mazes of tunnels, the inky dark* J * i. js 11 _ Ji nesses, ana tne stuny near, iuu ui the smell of castor oil?don't know why, by the way?and he could hear the drumming of rabbits' feet fle^ng before his ghostly, terrible self, everything happened as usual. Then nothing did. He was pulled tip with a jerk that nearly choked him. He tried going forward, but it was all no good. He had only a yard of play either way. His line was entangled in a root. The hours passed, and the ferreters, after trying every device known to man to get him out, gave it up and went home. The cherub did not give it up. He worried slowly, and he chafed, he pulled, and tugged, he backed, and he sweated, and he sneezed, and finally his collar came undone or broke. The cherub sneezed three times, and walked three yards. Then he realized he was free. It was the first time in all his life he had been free, and it acted upon him. In that second his mother, plus his father, got to work In his own body, and he began. It was really very clean killing. Fifteen rabbits done to death, each with a c?i n rrla /">Toon f a n cr cfrnlro hphind the vivuu v**v w v?? ears?was not so bad for one small ferret. But he Improved, for he slew 20 in the next hour?leaving every carcass untouched where it lay?and, getting thirsty, came above ground for water. The water he did not And, but discovered fowls in a fowlhouse instead, and, as I said, being thirsty, drank blood. There were no live fowls In that hen roost when he lAt. He visited the hutches of the Belgian hares, which he slew, and the pigeon cote, where he got more blood. After that he returned a mile across country, killing three partridges on the way; drank at the dog's trough? biting the dog badly in the process? walked into his own hutch and was found curled up, calmly asleep, among the hay next morning. Rabbit Meat for Wartime Food. Wartime conservation of beef and pork has enabled a Kansan to develop a rather extraordinary business in the marketing of wild rabbits, both jacks and cottontails. A rabbit-packing plant has been established and is now shipping frozen bunnies by the tens of thousands. A recent contract called for 480.000 pounds of jackrabbit meat. The jacks average four pounds each when dressed. This means that approximately 120,000 rabbits were required to fill the order. The fur is disposed or at a nanasome profit. It is used in the manufacture of high-grade felt, such as enters into the making of men's hats. All waste products are converted into fertilizer. The industry also rids the country of a crop-destroying pest. ?Popular Mechanics Magazine. Teaching the Boys to 3:.ig. A distinguished young musician recently joined the English army for the purpose of teaching the boys to sing. Attached to the royal air force, he has been commissioned to train the men at the various centers in choral singing, thus aisnensins: with the necessity for bands. The effect upon the spirits, Jhe morale and the discipline of the men has been excellent. They have developed a keen interest in singing, and many of them have been found, to their own surprise, to possess excellent voices. In view of the success of the movement, it will probably be extended to other branches of the army, especially where the formation of a band is out of the question. Improves Revolver. By providing the ordinary revolver with a circular cartridge frame or clip, Joseph H. Wesson of Springfield, Mass., has given the older weapon all the convenient features of the newer automatic weapon ; that is, the rapidity of fire and quick reload. His clip, holding five or six catridges in position, sprvox to -nush them Into place in the revolver barrel at one operation, instead of individual loading, as is usually the case.
