14 EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY. FOOLS THE RABBITS WITH A PHONOGRAPH. There is a law in Lake County, Illinois, against chasing the rabbit out of his warm burrow or brush heap by means of the squeaking ferret. The Chicago Tribune of December 13, contained an article telling at length how a hunter gets around the law by means of a Phonograph. He made a Record of a squeaking ferret and with it succeeds in frightening the rabbits as much as with the real article. The squire who was asked to arrest the offender refused and reasoned thus: Suppose a gang of men should surround your house, and hoot, and yell, and hammer on the doors until you ran out in a fright and then robbed your house. That would be riot and robbery. But suppose some one should load up a Phonograph with these yells, and hoots, and cries, and set the machine outside your house some night and turn it loose— you couldn't arrest any one for riot, could you? It would be a practical joke, wouldn't it? And no judge or jury could hold you for a practical joke played on a rabbit, could it? Well, I guess not." In the meantime, says the Tribune, the mere dog who "knows his master's voice" is entirely passe in Lake County, Illinois. SUSPENDED LIST, JANUARY I, 1904 SUPERSEDING ALL PREVIOUS LISTS. COLORADO.
