Yet most women desire their gowns to be killing. According to a scientist, all men will be baldheaded in 500 years. It’s a cinch they will if they live until then.

MILLIONS IN "JACKS”

Kansan Has 10,000 Fenced in and Corn-Fed on Ranch.' Confident That Sunflower Venison Will Bring Him a Fortune and Solve Perplexing Meat .Problem. Kansas City, Mo.—lt’s easy to Treat the high cost of living. All you have to do is to eat a jack rabbit and like It Very simple, indeed. Numerous experiments have beeD tried for the cheapening of meat. They range all the way from "frog ranches” to "bear farms,” including deer preserves and wild geese hatcheries. But the one thing that is to remove the underpinning from the market quotations ou beef is the Kansas jack rabbit. At least that is what Samuel G. Crawford says. Mr. Crawford also says that he has the making of a mighty nifty little rabbit ranch near Grace, Kan., and that he lias come to Kansas City to arrange for cold storage facilities necessary to- the handling of “Sunflower venison.” It may be Mr. Crawford was dreaming as he sat in the lobby of the Hotel White looking at the rain through a haze of cigar smoke. He says that the wasn’t. In fact, Mr. Crawford was emphatic in the declaration that he has a real, bona fide, about-to-be-pros-perous reservation for long-eared bunnies in the immediate vicinity of Grace, and that “there's millions in. it.” —But give Mr. Crawford a chance to speak for himself. “Sounds funny, does it?” says Mr. Crawford, says he, passing the cigars, “but it ain’t no joke. Neither am I trying to sell stock in the enterprise. You see, I’ve leased several hundred acres of land in northwestern Kansas, just about halfway between Grace and Quickville. 1 reckon I’ve got as many as 10,000 jack rabbits in chicken wire inclosure. I got most of ’em from a rabbit drive, which I promoted among tht, farmers of that county. The rest I g/*t for eight cents apiece from the farmer boys who trap ’em. I’m feeding ’em corn, and they fatten up like steers—-weigh eight or ten pounds in prime condition. "And talk about your good eatin* — say, fellows, if you never sunk your teeth into a stall-fed Kansas jack rabbit, you don’t know what eatin’ is—that’s all. Have another cigar? “I’m going to wait until the cold weather and then begin to kill off these rabbits. I’m going to ship ’em In carload lots to Kansas City, and put ’em in cold storage.

San Francisco, Cal. —Corroborating in every detail the story of the discovery of the blond Eskimo tribes recently given the world'of science by Vilhajlmer Stefansson, his partner in arctic explorations, Dr. Rudolph Margin Anderson ot Forest City, lowa, arrived here recently on the whaler Belvederq after four and a half years in the frozen north. He was accompanied by Prof. E. Dekoven Leffingwell of Pasadena, Cal., who has passed three and a half years making observations in the vicinity of the Flaxman islands and surveying and mapping about 150 miles of the coast line. “It was over on the Cape Bexley territory, on the mainland and on Prince Albert sound, across and to the south of the Dolphin and Union straits, that Stefansson first got in touch with blond aborigines,” said Dr losT most of our dogs while at Cape Barry, Langton bay and Franklyn ! bay, where we had wintered. Stefansson and I parted company, he leaving with two Eskimos for the east, while I pukhed on to the Mackenzie delta for supplies. We met again at Langton bay in the autumn of 1910 and he told me of the queer tribe he had discovered. . “In December we started out and were thirty-one days crossing 300 miles of the; worst strip of land we ! ever encountered.

BACK TO KNEE BREECHES

Berlin So&lety’s Aim Is to Reform Men’s Wearing Apparel—Hat to Be Abolished. Berlin.—A “Society for the Reform of Men’s Apparel” has just been launched for the purpose of inducing men to break away from such “freaks of fashion” as trousers, waistcoats, shirts, suspenders, collars, neckties and hats. For working and the ordinary purpose of wear the reformers desire to substitute smock or blouse suits, and instead of the prevailing form of evening dress, knee breeches and high buttoned jackets, which shall obviate the necessity of either shirts or linen collars. , —r — The hat, if the reformers have their way, will be entirely abolished, although they are willing to allow it to disappear gradually by accustoming men to wear a straw head covering of some sort, both summer and winter,

A Boston clubman recently returned from a visit to New York city. In discussing his trip one of his friends asked him whether he had a policeman in his pocket.

A FRIEND’S ADVICE Something Worth Listening To. mmm A young Nebr. man was advised by a friend to eat Grape-Nuts because he was all run down from a spell of fever.
