from a defect in the kitchen

Poor Bunny Evidently
Wasn’t Traveling Fast
C. G. K. relates that he went on
a hunting trip recently with a
friend who is a fine field shot and a
only a mediocre shot, was warned
repeatedly by the experienced hunts-
man never to shoot sitting game.
«If the rabbit doesn’t offer to run,
scare him up and make him run-
don’t shoot him sitting. Give him
a chance,” the sportsman insisted.
The hunters separated, C. G. K.
taking a course through a ravine
out of sight of the good sport. Pres-
ently he came upon a rabbit sitting
up under a tree—a perfect mark.
He couldn’t resist, and blazed away,
getting the rabbit neatly. “Did you
get him!” callel the sportsman
from over the bill. “Yep.” "Was
he running?” “Sure he was run-
ning,” replied Mr. K. “My friend
came over the hill just in time to
see me pick up the rabbit," says Mr.
K. “But it slipped out of my hand
and fell to the ground. Its leg was
fastened in a steel trap."—Kansas
City Times.
NOTHIN' ELSE BUT
Wifey—We women have decided
to start today to clean up the mo-
vies.
Hubby—Which means, I suppose,
that the kitchen will still have to go
a little longer.
Telegrapher Found Star
As he walked home in the early
mornings a telegraph operator in
South Africa had a habit of study-
ing the starry sky. One morning
he was startled by seeing a strange
star in the constellation Pictor, and
the idea struck him immediately
that it must be a new one. He veri-
fied his discovery after breakfast,
then telegraphed to the observatory
at the Cape of Good Hope, which
announced it to the world, one of
the moot noteworthy astronomical
events in months, says Popular
Science Monthly.
The new star, known as “Nova
Pictoris,” u especially interesting OF or

Sun His Timepiece
For 77 years Edward Miller, a
farmer living near Tivoli, Pa., has
done his work and kept all appoint-1
ments without carrying a watch. We
relies entirely upon the sun as his
timepiece, and can tell the time of
the day to within a few minutes
when the sun is shining. As to times
when the sun is hidden by clouds,
Mr. Miller said that this did not in-
convenience him as he has no desire
to go anywhere when it is cloudy or
dreary.
