A WCn,an's Fight With u Snake.

frOtu tHe ~. III hcBiTtofsl
Not long ago Mrs. Rachael Dederick,
wife of Frederick Dederick, II wagon
maker Of Cairo, Green county. waspass-
ing through field of blackberry bushes,
when she heard a queer noise. She
stopped and listened, and, as the noise
ceased, she again went upon her way.
After proceeding few steps further she
heard the noise again, which she now
recognized rs the whistle of black
snake known AZ the racer. She imme-
diately started to run, but before she
had gone dozen steps the snake caught
mp with her, and began to entwine his
coils about her body. She had small
tin pail in her hand ut the time, and,
while screaming for help began to fight
the snake with the pail, but it seemed
that every stroke she would make mt the
snakes head he would dodge and draw
his folds about his body tighter. She
continued to fight and scream this way
for nearly quarter of IN hour before
she got any response, but finally heard
her husbands answering cry. just then
the snake got soil around her neck and
throat, and she tainted. Her husband
crushed the snakes head with his boot
heel, and then released his wife and car
ried her to the house, where she re-
vived. She carried blue mark about
her throat for some time where the
snake had choked her. The snake was
eleven feet in length, and ~ large around
as n mans wrist.

k,MemOrable Painting.

4 fortnight ago painting 100 feet
long and 30 feet deep was hanging in
the Guildhall London, to remain Oh
view for week. The picture contains
upwards of one thousand figures and is
a representation of the battle Of Agin-
court. 1t was painted by Sir Robert
Kern Porter (painter OF the Siege OF
Seringapitam when nineteen years Of
age, and was about the year. 1919 pre-
sented by him to the corporation Of the
city of London. 1t has occasionally
been utilized Us II screen ut the Mansion
House but owing to its immense size it
has been found necessary to cut 1t into
three sections. The center piece, which
is 81 feet long, represents the battle ut
it's height. Tie side pieces are each %
feet long. The one Oh the right pOr-
trays the retreat Of the French army,
while left is a beautiful landscape, with

appointed to consider the aiivisability OF

More Salmon than Water.

Alaska Letter In Nan Francisco Buletin.l
Az for the salmon Us seen this morn
ing urging their way up the swift, brawl-
ing current-tens of thousands Of them,
side by side, with their backs out of
water in shallow places-nothing that l
could write may possibly give anything
like fair conception Of the extrava-
g,,nce Of their numbers. There is more
salmon apparently, bulk for bulk, than
water. In fording the stream the writh-
ing multitudes, crowding against one
another, could not get out OF ones way.
One Of our men waded out in the midst
OF them and amused himself by seizing
them above the tail and swinging them
over his head. Thousands of them
could thus be taken by hand while they
are making their way over the shadows
among the stones. Whatever may be
said OF other resources OF the territory,
it is hardly possible to exaggelate the
Importance Of her fisheries. Not to
mention cod, herring, halibut, etc.,
there are probably not less than thous'
and salmon streams in southern Alaska
as large or larger than this one (abou'
forty feet wide crowded with fine salmon

wear more than u month ago, and the
king salmon, one of the five species
recognized by the Indians, was running
