A Great Den OF Snakes.

In the extension of the Central Branch
road from Beloit to Cawker city, Kas.,
the line passes through the town Of
Glen Elder. A short distance from Glen
Elder, ON the Solomon River, is a steep
and rocky bluff, about fifty-five feet
high, large portion of which was
blasted away to make room for the road
bed. A few days ago blast of nitro
glycerine caps and giant powder tore
off large part of the bluff, and down
the declivity came writhing and rolling
a bunch of snakes almost as large as q
barrel. They were of different varie-
ties, rattlesnakes predominating, with
racers, adders, garters, etc. When first
routed from their warm bed they were
active and dangerous, but the severe
cold soon made them comparatively
harmless, and they were killed by the
men without muoi; trouble, or covered
up in the dump by earth and stone.
Every blast since the first batch APP
peared, has brought another huge bum
die of reptiles. Every hour moving,
writhing lump comes rolling down the
hills, only to separate ut the foot, and
those that escape the laborer's pick and
shovel crawl off to get covered up in
the dump. Thousands of snakes have
been unearthed and killed. Not one case
of snake bite has yet occurred, notwith-
standing that it is many times almost
impossible to avoid stepping on the SER
penis. Most Of the snakes are as large
round as O mans wrist, and about three
and half feet long. Farmers say that
this is the regular winter den OF these
venomous creatures, and that during
the autumn snakes are seen headed in
the direction of the bluffs, and the only
way they can be turned from their
course is to kill them. From the Afchi-
son (Kss.) Patriot.

Daniel webster's Financial Weakness.

Every once in O while somebody con-
tradicts in the public prints the stories
always circulating about Daniel Web.
ster's extreme carelessness in money
matters. A writer in the Boston Ad-
rertiser has Just denied that Rufus
Choate ever lost dollar by indorsing
the Massachusetts, statesman's notes,
and that the latter invariably paid strict
attention to his paper maturing at the
Merchants Bank in that city. II this
be so, Choate and the Merchants Bank
must have been exceptionally treated
by the great expounder, who was half
a Herold Skimpole, though in a grand I,
lofty way. At this late day there can
hardly be any doubt as to Webster's
financial habits, notorious in Boston
and Washington, and almost every
where else in fact. Some of his friends
used to say that he did not contract
those habits until he had been long
time in the. United States Senate and
been obliged to relinquish very lucra-
tive practice This can scarcely be COR
rect, because persons who knew him in
timately in his early life were wont to
speak Of him, to put it. delicately, as
entirely devoid of business methods
and business ideas. Charles Sumner
mentioned more than once an expert
ence he had with the god-like Daniel,
whose successor he was (1S5O) in the
national Senate. It was while Sumner
was practicing law in Boston, years be-
fore he had acquired any general repu-
tation. He and Webster had defended
the Commonwealth in suit, and had
been allowed $1,000 for their services.
One. day Webster stepped into Sum-
ner's office and said: Tim going over
to the State House, Sumner, to get my
$1,000, and Ill get yours, too, If you
like" Sumner lit seems that he had
some knowledge of his late associates
peculiarities) declined the proposal
with thanks, and when it was urged,
declared emphatically that he preferred
to let his money remain where it was.
"All right, then, replied Webster, and
departed. But when he went to the
State House he drew Summers fee as
well as his own, the clerk having no
doubt that he had been authorized to
do so and the eminent barrister, it is
understood, died indebted to his
younger colleague for the amount.
Webster's fame was that he never took
any notice of his debts, and that he was
totally reckless of money. All he
wanted was supplied by his Boston adj
mirers, and it slipped through his fin
gers like quicksilver. He appeared to
beso fully aware of his idiosyncrasy as
to jest about it. A Virginian politician
orce told him in Washington that he
o1ght to be Southerner, because he
vas so genial and so eloquent. "That
is not the only reason" remarked the
senator. What is another?" Be-
cause I never pay my debts" Daniel
Webster was unquestionably a great
orator, great lawyer, great intellect
ual and political force but surely no
body who ever knew him would charge
him with the smallest concern about
Lis debts.--N. Y. Times.

WHAT rs THE MATTER docs it ever
occur to our people to ask themselves
why it is that States all around us, like
Georgia and Texas, and to the north of
us like Illinois and Iowa aud Wisconsin,
are filing up with emigrants from the
older States and from Europe-coloniz-
ing vast areas of idle territory and maxi
ing it blossom with rich harveSts, and
breaking primeval silence with the hum
of industry, drawing to themselves cap
ital and labor and the attendant bless
ings of prosperity and Development
does it ever occur to our people, we
say, to wonder why this is going on all
around Louisiana, whilst here the inn
migrant comes like q mosquito in Janu-
airy, and with an uneasy, pervading air
of being ready to flee from us at every
unwonted sight or sound? Have we
ever considered whether this may not
be our fault in some degree? We can't
tell, ourselves. just how this is, but
there is something the matter, and it
ought to be looked into. There is
something about Louisiana that forbids
the peaceful stranger. Orleans

" He Stands Fire!"

Some time ago was walking along
the Strand, in London, when overlook
one OF the finest-l looking soldiers I had
ever seen. A conversation ensued, in
the course of which I said to him.
There is one thing in connection with
soldiers which puzzles me-"
GO What is that, sir?" asked the SOL
dier.
1 replied "No one dares to doubt
the S-avery of q British soldier he will
rush up to the cannon's mouth, although
he knows it will be certain death for
him to do SO and yet many British
soldier, SO brave, so courageous, and 80
daring, is ashamed to kneei down in the
barrack.room and offer up the prayer
taught him by his mother. I cannot
understand Mat of the British soldier"
Well, sir, that's true very few men
have courage to do that"
How is this-how do you account
for it?" I inquired.
Well, sir, you remind me of what
occurred in my own bedroom at the bar
racks a short time ago. A fresh man
came in, and the first night, when he
was going to bed, he knelt down by his
bedside to pray. And there was hull
labalool While he was on his knees
some of the men threw their belts at
him, some laughed, some whistled, and
one fellow jumped over a bed and
shouted in his ears, but the newcomer
was firm, and went on with his prayer.
On the second night every one was on
the lookout to see whether he would
kneel down again. As soon as the man
bent his knees, a strange scene followed.
Whistling, ieering and hooking was
general, and belts were again hurled at
his head. Still he went on saying his
prayers, aud seemed not to notice their
jeers or abuse. On the third night,
when he began to pray, there was not
so much noise as ON the second night.
On the fourth and fifth nights he con-
tinued his prayers. but on each sue
ceeding night the opposition grew less
and less. On the sixth night, while he
was kneeling, one of the soldiers in the
room exclaimed, He stands fire. He
stands fire. He's genuine ! And from
that night every man in the room began
to respect hint. b. SmiMies, IN

Over Seventy Miles an Hour.

1t has been rumored among few OF
the ice yachtsmen for some time that
Capt. Winslow was having boat built
that would soon make her appearance
and would eclipse anything yet built
in the way OF an iceboat. Yesterday,
while the leading yachtsmen were TAX
moaore Booth, their attention was di-
rected to yacht making her way down
the river. When she was first seen she
was rounding Crumb Elbow, about five
miles distant, and in six minutes from
that time she passed the brewery, going
at the rate of seventy miles an hour.
Such an excitement among the ice
yachtsmen has seldom been witnessed.
There was only one person present who
knew anything about the new yacht,
and he stated that she was called the
Lucille, owned and being sailed by
Capt. Winslow, and that he would Issue
a challenge, on his return, to any yacht
in the world. Capt. Winslow, after
passing the brewery three miles, re-
turned and received the congratulations
of all present at the appearance of his
boat. In size, beauty, and cost she
surpasses anything yet. built, and her
owner is certain she can beat anything
yet put on the ice. She is O third
larger than Mr.. Roosevelt's hicle, and
carries double the amount of canvas of
Mr.. Knights Haze.
The wind at the time was from the
west, and blowing strong, and ten of
the gentlemen present, Mr.. Booth,
Capts. Knight, Martin, and Lawson,
Davids Of the Eagle. the veteran ice
yachtsman Henry s. Frost, and others,
took seats aboard the Lucille. The Or
der was given to cut loose, and away
she few toward New Hamburg, laying
one straight course, and reaching there
in just nine minutes from the start, the
distance being by measurement nine
and three-quarter miles. When the
Lucille started for home, she was ac-
companied for short distance by the
Phantom, Flying Cloud, Zephyr, and
QuickStep, of the New Hamburg Club.
She ran away from them all within two
miles, and made the extraordinary run
of niLe miles in 7:10, from the start to
the stakeboat above the brewery. Each
mile on the ice is staked between New
Hamburg and Poughkeepsie, and there
can be no mistake as to the time, as two
time watches we're held by Messrs.
Frost and Davids, and agreed within
two seconds. This is, undoubtedly,
the fastest time ever made by an ice
boat or any other boat. The great race
for the Commodore Kidd pennant will
take place tomorrow. The Lucille is

A SCENE AT "OLD HIcKoRY's I"
DEATH BED.-Mrs. Wilcox was present
at the Generals death, one bright and
beautiful Sabbath morning in the June
of 1916. and she describes it as scene
never to be forgotten. He babe them

were in tears, and when he had breathed
his last the outburst of grief was ire
pressible. The congregation at the
little Presbyterian church on the plan
tation, which the General had built to
crafty his deceased wife, the morning
service over, came flocking to the man
sion as his eyes we're closing, and ad-
ded their bewailment to the general sor-
row.
Shortly after this mournful event.
Mrs. W. encountered an old servrnt in
the kitchen, who was sobbing as though
her heart would break.

No SALOONS IN VINELAND.-The re-
suit of this beneficent law should be
judged by its fruits. After much ex-
perience with inebriate asylums / am
convinced there is more practical re-
formatory influence in Vineland than
any institution. The violation of the
law does not destroy its effectiveness,
any more than the violation of the law
against burglary or other crimes, and
the whole sentiment of the community
is in favor of its enforcement. This
law has done more for the industrial
development, the value of property,
the moral good and the good name Of
Vineland than any one thing.
Many people are not aware that some
of the best of men are inebriates, with
temptations constantly before them
and even violators OF all the laws of
God and men. Liquor changes their
natures. The best scientists and ply
sicians say it makes them insane.
These very men, away from temptation,
are good fathers, husbands and SONS.
As proof of the truth of this remark
we have only to look for the fruits of
it in Vineland. Low taxes, almost
nothing for police and poor expenses,
and hundreds of individuals entirely
reformed. Much of the virtue of this
depends upon the absence of tempta-
tion. - Vinela,ad Weekly.
