But he was a great institution, this healthy, noisy farmer lad. It was a hard job to get him up in the morning, but when he did get up he would go and feed and "tend to the horses," then come to breakfast. It nZh(,?Laoi°^ get him out of bed, but finally he would go hitch up and plow from sun to sun.. He would break ground, or plow corn, or build fence, or work all day in the harvest field, but he would rather have a spell of sickness than work a half hour in the garden. He would dig up half an acre of ground looking for "fishworms," but hosing in the garden was worse than a jail sentence. The bright spots in his life were place, everything was either before or after "me over before! moments carried him over the hill, out of sight ol the the wall, the old powder horn and leather shot pouch were taken charge of by the older brother, the younger brother carrying the game sack, and the visiting member shouldering the ax. Then with the shepherd, the rat terrier and the cur jumping about, the whole outfit started for the nearest brush patch. Before they got a hundred yards from the house, a track was discover ed. It was fresh—had evidently been made late in the night, since the snow had stopped falling. It was followed to the old brush fence and there lost in dozens of others. Just as the older brother crossed the fence out jumped a bunny. All hands let out a yell, the dogs went In hot pursuit and when the boys finally caught up all three dogs were at the biggest brush pile in the woods. "Ole Shep" was standing at one side of the pile and "Ole Ring" on the other, while the little dog was barking and tear ing around as if he was going to eat. the whole thing up right then and there'. f'he visitor got up on the pile, jump ed up and down, punched a rail down through and— "There he goes!" .The old musket was here brought into play, and Just as its owner was sure he "had him" the cap snapped and he was gone. A new cap was. put on, a few remarks made and just then the little dog barked "treed." This was the signal for another scramble, and after' a short rush through the bushes, the little dog was found vainly trying to get in a hoi low log. Here was a. cinch. The gun- was alright, when the rabbit was "settin'," and the dogs could catch one once in a while, but once in a log, bunny was a sure goner. The boys knew this, log of old. It? was hollow clear through. They had i.aiiriiii "*TWf**h-~ THE OTTUMWA COURIER? looked,-through it many times both in| cummer and winter. Now each in turn got down on his knees and looked into! the log—it was dark—bunny was I there. I A stick of wood was put in each end of the log, against the wild protests cf the terrier. The ax was now brought into play, and each took turns chop ping. Finally the hollow in the center was reached and a long switch was pushed in the ond where the cotton tail had been located. After a: vigor ous punching bunny was forced to back up against- the hand that was thrust in the hole that had been chop ped, and he was brought out and his head unceremoniously cracked against the log. Then the hunt was resumed and aft er running around awhile, one was found "settin.'". Here the old gim was called on to perform upon bre'r rabbit's head at a distance of about four and one-half feet. The first cap didn't go but the second one did, and cacli one of the' game carriers had a rabbit. It was now noon, and they were about two miles from home. Although none would admit it all were getting hungry. The two rabbits were getting heavy. By common consent they now hunted in the direction of home, and just after crossing the creek "ole Sliep," struck a squirrel track that took him back over a hill a couple of hundred yards, and finally "treed" him in a tall hickory that had a nest in it. Sticks were thrown and raked up and i.'Lgfni down against the tree trunk,, but it f, took a shot from the gun to bring the another! old fox out. and then he went clear to the top. Hurriedly the gun was load ed and after walking around the tree three or four times, a second shot made old bushjf' tail jump out of the tree and the dogs made short work of him. The homewai'g trail was again ta ken, and all the game seemed to have left the country.' The dogs followed instead of hunting, and when the home rainy days and Sundays.

Fowler and W. K.

It was attended li.v all the members of the committee and a nninher ol the operators of the state. The meeting was called to arrange for the convention of the association, to lie held in lies Moines next month, and for the sessions of the coal scale conference with tlie miners. It was announced oHlclallv that the an nual meeting of the 1 ill Toil Mine Workers for district thirteen. Ineluillni all of Iowa aul a portion of Missouri, will he held in Dcs Moines. March 3. The operators will hold their uunual meet ing March 9. at which the scale and prob able concessions* will be discussed and de cided upon. On March 10 there will le joint convention of both miners and miue operators, at which the prospects for the vear commencing April 1 will be discussed. This will be followed March 11, and as manr davs thereafter as inav be consumed in reaching an agreement, by sessions of the joint, scale committee of tbe two or ganizations. At the meeting yesterday the approach ing scale conference was discussed infor mally. The general opinion seemed to be that the action of the national conference at Indianapolis In fixing a basing scale for Illinois will make the work easier In Iowiu and that It will he followed very closely. The general opinion is that there will be an advanec of not to exceed 10 cents a ton iu the price to be paid for mining coal, and an advance from $2.09 for day work to $2-37 for mine employes with a propor tionate increase* amounting to about 12Vfc per cent for entry work, etc. Operators indulged in an informal dis cussion of the c^r situation. This devel oped that there has lieen a decided short age tu cars on nearly all but the Jsortli wesforu lines. Complaints were made more particularly against the Rock Island road.- The charge is that the railroads have sent their flrst class coal cars east to carry out a better grade of freight, such as building materials, steel, etc., and that tlie old cars are being held for local dc mand -'Tbese are as a rule of smaller ca pacity, and though furnished In consider able numbers, do not meet the require ments of the mines. In some Instances lack of sufficient motive power and a de sire tcf use engines to haul higher class freight was asslgued as a caube for the difficulty in getting cars. MUSICAL AT HIGHLAND CENTER.
