HOW I CAUGHT RABBITS 

Frank H. Turner 9 

One day I went to set rabbit traps. I set one in a brush pile. I put some cabbage in it and put some apples around the outside.

In the morning I got up right early and went back to the traps. When I got there, I saw a rabbit sticking his nose out of a hole, which he gnawed in.

I ran up to the trap and opened it. I held him up and cracked him aside of the head and killed him.

I took him to the store and sold him for thirty cents.
