irtlllzlngn Jucli Rabbit.
While my friend Clyde and myself
were out in the hills back of the Golden
Gato Park last week, a Jack rabbit came
along, and stopped to look at us.
'If I had thought to bring my revol
ver along wo would liavo jack on toast
for breakfast to morrow," 1 remarked.
"Not with my consont," he replied.
"What renson can you glvo for not
consenting?"
"A rabbit saved my life, and I havo
not killed ono since, and will never kill
ono again."
"How did ho manage to savo your
life?"
"Three years ago I was living in Mon
tana. A bineltcr had JuBt been built,
and it created a demand for silver rock.
I owned an interest In a lead that had
been sunk on SO feet. Thinking tho
time had como to mako it available, I
concluded to go there and get sotno ore
and have It tested. I did so; and reach
ed tho placo just In time to take shelter
In tho mine from a terrible hailstorm. I
lighted my candle, went to tho bottom,
and went to work. I had not been
thero more than five minutes when I
heard a nolso that sounded liko a can
non. The rock over my head shook,
and In a moment tho shafL behind me
caved. Vou can Imaglno my feelings
better then I'can describe them, when
I found myself burled alive. I trem
ble oven at this distant day when I
think of that moment. The roof of the
shaft was rocks, and when they came
down they did not pack so tight but
what tho air came through. Thero was
nothing that I could do to release my.
self. I knew that if relief did not come
from tho outsldo I must perish. No ono
knew I had gone thero. A road.-'run
past the mouth of tho shaft; but It was
not traveled much, and I was' not like
ly to attract attention by calling; never
thelcsa, I shouted at Intervals all day,
The following morning I commenced
calling again; and all day, whenever
thought I heard a sound, I shouted.
"When night canio again all hopes of
being released had abandoned me. One
thing added great bitterness to my suf-
feriuge. I owed quite a largo amount
of money, and, should my futu remain
unknown, my creditors would think I
had fled to defraud them, and my name
would bo stigmatized.
"I will not dwell on tho agonies I en
dured; I am sorry I cannot forget
them
"Tho morning of the fourth day of
my imprisonment I heard something
crawl into my grave. I lighted my
cauaie ana saw a rauuit. rnero was
only ono aperture largo enough to ad
mit him; I closed It to prevent his es
cape. I saw In him food to appease, my
hunger, and toy hand wasraUctl to kill
him, when a thought occurred to me
that prevented ttie blow from descend
Ing. I had two fish lines; their united.
length would reach to the road. I took
off my shirt, tore It Into strings, tied
them together, and on to the fish lines,
I wore a long, gold watch chain; I
tied It on to the part of the line that
would cross the road. I then cut ser.
cral leaves from my diary, wrote on
tliem'.my condition, Sand-tied them on
to that part of the line that would be
on the outside. I then tied tlio end made
oufeof my shirt around; Jack's neck and
let him out. lie soon- reached the end
of the line, and I knew by the way ho
was pulling that he was making despe.
rate attempt? to escape. Soon the tut;.
glng stopped, and knowing that gnaw
Ing was Jack's chief accomplishment
I thought he had cut himself loose
About threo hours afterward I felt tho
line pulled, and some one called; I tried
to answer, but the hoarso noise I made
died in the cavern. I then pulled the
line to show that I wa-i not dead
"All grew still again, and I knew
tho man had gone for assistance. Then
came tho sound of voices; I pulled In
ine line, ana It brought mo rood. It
took all the men who worked in tho
shaft nine hours to reach me.
"A very large pine treo that stood
near the shaft had been the cause of
my misfortune. It had been dead a
number of yearn,, and the storm had
blown It over." The terrible blow It
struok the ground had caused tho cave.
"Jack bad wound the line around a
bush, and tied himself so short that he
was imprisoned outside as securely as I
had been Inside. Ho was taken to town,
put in a large cage, and supplied with
all the rabbit delicacies tho market af
forded. He however, did not thrive,
and the boys believing that he 'pined In
thought,' voted to set him freo. ne
was taken back to his old girdling
grounds and liberated.

Showing tlio Hoys In Wnslioo
how to Shoot.
Recently, at a saloon on tho Divide,
somo men were discussing tho shooting
affray which occurred during tbo morn
ing between tho two brothers-in-law.
Fallman and Ward. It was agreed on
all hands that U was shocking bad
shooting a discredit to Washoo. At
last a Plocho man bantered a Comstock
man, whom he knew to bo a good
shot with a pistol, to go out In the back
yard with hltn and do some shooting,
Just to show tho "boys" how It should
be done. In tho saloon was a box of
eggs, and what tho Plochcr proposed
was that each Bhoot two eggs off the bare
head ot the other at tho distance of ten
paces, the ono missing to treat the crowd.
Tho Comstocker was bound not to be
bluffed by a man from the other end of
the Stato, so to lift back yard all hands
adjourned. Each, man used his own
six-shooter. Tho Comstock first "bus
ted" his egg on tho topof thePiocher's
head, which exploit was loudly applau
ded by all present. It was then tho
Piocher's turn to shoot, and an eug was
produced to be placed upon tho head of
the Comstocker, but when ho removed
his hat thero was a great laugh, for the
top of his head was as smooth as a bit
Hard ball. For full ten minutes all
hands tried tn vain to mako an egg
stand on his head. It couldn't bo douo.
Tho Piocher than taunted tho Com
stocker with having gone Into the ar
rangement knowing that ho was safe,
The latter told him to set up his egg aud
It was all right ho was there. The
Procher went Into tho saloon, and a
moment after camo out with a handful
of flour, which he dabbed upon tho bald
head of the Comstocker, and then trl
umphantly planted in It his egg, fell
back ten steps, and then knocked it off.
The Comstocker then told him to set up
his second egg and shot at it, as lie
didn't want to have his head chalked
twice during the game. This was done,
and the wreck of a second egg streamed
over the Comatocker's pate. Tho Pio
cher now stood out with his last egg on
his head. The Comstocker raised his
pistol.and fired. Tho Piocher bounded
a yard Into the air, and tho egg bounced
whole from his head. "I've lostl" said
the Comstocker. "Let all come and
take a drink. By a slip I'vo put balf
the width of my bullet through the top
of his left earl" and so It proved upon
measurement. Virginia Enterprise.

A bride and groom, answering to tho
names of Andrew and Susy, were field
hands ot unimpeachable Guinea blood
and both had passed the first half-cen
tury of life. Their dress, howovcr,
showed that they had not entirely es
chowed the follies of their youth, for,
though rude and cheap, as became their
condition, It was nevertheless emoei
llshed with those bits of gewgaws and
glaring finery of bright-colored ribbons
and ties in which the negro delights.
With the most decorous gravity tho
preacher began :
"Andrew, does you lub dls yer wo

"I duz so," was tho reply.
