The Little Snakes.

{. LOUIS ClOD6-DemOCTau.
A bare-legged boy riding a rake on one
of the divides near the Santa Fe trail,
dragged into the window a RATHER; but,
instead of coiling and giving forth de-
fant buzz, the snake manifested every in
clination to get off peaceably. The average
Kansas lad would have taken a strap from
his harness, given the reptile two Or
three paralyzing taps. counted the rattles,
and gone on his way before anybody dis
covered the rake was idle. Not so did Billy
Woodward, who is only few months from
county Donegal and possessed of the album
dant natural curiosity of an Irish boy
abroad. He got down from his high seat
and began to study natural history. The
snake tried to run away, but Billy ''headed
her off,: as he said afterward. Once or
twice the fugitive coiled and threatened, to
the boys great delight. For fifteen
minutes the teasing went on, and then the
snake darted her head into hole in the
prairie sod. Perhaps a third of her
length was concealed, while there came
from underground noise which the boy
said sounded like "a queer kind of cluck-
ing" By the time he had got trace chain
loose the snake was out of the hole and
wriggling slowly toward the uncut grass.
Billy followed her up, fetched her
couple of cracks" and supposed the sport
was over.
Later in the day party of hunters came
along and the boy exhibited his trophy,
and told what he had seen. One of the
hunters, ranchman of varied experience
got out his pocket-knife, and with the
remark that he guessed he could show
the others something about rattlesnakes
they never knew before, stopped down
and drew the sharp blade across the
thickest fold of the dead snake. Out
squirmed eleven young rattlers, all of
size, say eight inches long and as large
around as lead pencil. They were very
lively family and had to be laid out one at
time Billy's eyes grew big as he saw
the revelation which added the best part to
his snake story. The ranchman said that
when overtaken with her young the ma
ternal RATHER will, as a last means of pro-
lection, swallow the little ones.
She calls them with noise
which is combination of cluck
and whistle. Very rarely does it hap
pen that the act is witnessed. In all his
experience the ranchman said he had never
seen this snake-swallowing performance
but once. Then he had come upon the
mother snake and her young summing among
the stones. They had tried to get away,
but failing, the young had glided into the
mouth of the old one in response to the
peculiar cali, and had disappeared before
his eyes.

HanpineSs q Habit.

Every permanent state of mind is
largely the effect of habit Just as we
can perform an action so continually
that it comes to be habitual, so we can
encourage conditions of mind till
they, too, come to be habit, of think
ing and even of feeling. Every
thoughtful parent and teacher recog-
nizes this IN the training of youtb
The child who is constantly thwarted
or scoIded or ridiculed has constantly
aroused within him feelings of resent
ment, of encouragement, or misery,
and these grow to be habitual, and a
character for ill-temper or moroseness
or dependency is formed. On the
other hand, the child who is wisely
treated, whose facilities are brought
into action, who is encouraged to- do
well, who is surrounded with cheerful
faces and orderly arrangement, be-
comes accustomed to corresponding
habits of thought and feeling. The
exercise of self control, Of truthful
ness, of honesty, and other essential
qualities. nor only result in habitual
actions of tie same nature, but in
habitual feelings or states of mind
that induce those actions. So the con.
ditions which we call happiness is
likewise acquired to a considerable
degree. 1t involves within it many
things, but they are not impossible to
secure, and when we have discovered
them it rests with US to encourageor
discourage them. Happiness is not
oniy privilege, bus duty, not a
mere outward good that may perhaps
come to us, but an inward possession
that we are bound to attain. When
we remember the contagious charac-
ter of happiness. the strength, cour-
age, and hope it excites by its very
presence and the power for good it
exerts in every direction, we cannot
doubt our obligation to attain as much
of it as Observation-Disclosures Led

Dishonesty In Trade.

There is hardly an article of manu-
featured merchandise made orimport-
ed in the United States that has not its
authorizations or limitations; and there
are but few articles of raw material
that are not in some manner adulter-
ated. What is needed is a law that
shall compel all men to Go an honest
business; law that shall apply alike
to the rich and the poor; a law that
shall punish the man who sells with
a false balance, the same as the man
who steals loaf of bread; law that
shall punish the man who makes and
sells counterfeit article Of mercban-
disc, the same as the man VINO makes
and circulates counterfeit coin.
Candy made of or colored with poi
sonous substances, is justly under
legal ban. Inspection IN manufac-
tories of cheap confectionery IN New
York city last week, resulted In the
confscation and destruction of over
two tons of the stuff too vile to be
eaten. AS candy is consumed chiefly
by children, whose tender age makes
them peculiarly susceptible to the
effects of the poison contained IN the
coloring matters, who are unable to
detect anything dangerous in the
bright hues which render the sweet
meats attractive to the eye, the
enormity of the manufacture of poi
sonous compounds is aggravated.
Not only should the abominable stuff
be confscated and destroyed, but
the makers and sellers of it should
be held to a legal accountability.
There are great quantities Of cheap
and unwholesorne confectionery in
the markets, which, being filled with
danger, should BE scrupulously let
alone. Unfortunately its greatest
sale is to those who are unable to
Judge of its true character. Sharp
official Inspection is the only safe
guard
Reader, do you realize that this foul
confectionery is not only sold to the
children of New York, but to children
in every large and small town In the
United States? Dealers don't pretend
to know or care if there is only de-
mand. They buy innocently and sell
for the large profits. Poison candy
makes business for the physician and
the undertaken. VIII parents give
heed to these warnings and thus pro-
tect the lives Of their dear little ones?

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.
correspondence Between General
Washington and Alexander Ham
iIton,
The Inter Ocean.

iIton.
The Inter Ocean.
A letter to the Baltimore Sun from
Cambridge, Md, states that IN box
hidden away in a cellar connected
with one of the Oldest houses IN Cam
bridge, Nd. once the property of the
Murray Family and now belonging to
Col. Clement Sullivan, whose moth
er is a Murray, has been found a
record containing Ia fair manuscript
volumes embracing a correspondence
between William Van Murray, Am
erican Minister Resident and Envoy
Extraordinary to the Netherlands,
and General Washington and Alex
ander Hamilton.
These letters were written after the
battle of MarengO had made Napo-
leon the arbiter of Europe. and they
extend from the year 1897 to the year
1899. At that time the career of the
French Republic was matter of alb
sorbing political interest, and party
lines in this country were drawn by
sympathy. with France or England.
General Lafayette had announced his
wish and intention to revisit America,
but while publicly favoring his pro-
posed visit Washington and Hamil-
ton fearing the tendencies of Jeffer-
son, then a prominent candidate for
the Presidency, and the probability
that Lafayette would do all he could
to secure his election, were strOngly
opposed to Lafay cites visit. To pre-
vent the consummation of such a de
sign they opened and carried on
correspondence with William Van
Murray, the American envoy to the
Netherlands, who also informally
represented our country with refer
ence to France. They urged that
every obstacle should be interpoSed to
his coming and every possible expe-
dent be adopted. This correspondence
gave q history of this remarkable
intrigue, for as such it must be char
acterized. It embraces the letters
written in connection herewith. The
devOut aud sincere patriotism of
Washington was unquestionably the
motive that influenced his conduct.
These letters are copied in four
volumes, and the writing is close,
neat, and perfectly preserved. Col.
Sullivan to whom they belonged, pre-
scented theEa to the Liberiau of Con
gress to be valued. On his recon-
mendation a joint committee has been
appointed by Congress to consider the
propriety Of purchasing them. This
committee has recommended that
S., 900 be appropriated for their pur-
chase. On one of the pages is a

.WO Strange DUels.
Field of Honor.


On the Sd of May, 1908, took place
the spectacular duel between NJ. De
Grandpre and NJ. De Pigne In balloons
above Paris. An immense crowd of
people had assembled in a field near
the Tuileries. Each principal was
accompanied by one second; the
weapons were blunderbusses and the
terms were to ire at will. The ascent
took plape before noon, and when at
height of nine hundred feet, and
within eight yards of each other, De
Pigne opened fire and the masses be-
low set up a great shout. But De
Pigne missed, while De Grandpre
blazed away. Another shout and
then all was still, for De Pigne's bal
loon had collapsed; the basket had
turned over and let the occupants
out, and they came down through the
air head first and we're dashed to pieces
on the housetops.
Another strange French duel was
this: Captain Raoul De We're and
Colonel Barber Dufal, of Psris, dur
ing quarrel, agreed to settle the
matter by getting into coach with
daggers in their right hands and with
left arms tied. and fighting while the
carriage was being driven twice
around the Place Du Carroussel by
their seconds. Raoul was killed and
Barber Dufal was MORALLY wounded.

THE HONEST FARMER.

Happy l count the farmers life,
Its various round of wholesome toll;
An honest man with loving wife,
And offspring native to the soil.
Thrice happy, surely. In his breast
Plain wisdom and the trust in God;
His path more straight from east to west
Than politician ever trod.
His gains no loss to other men,
His stalwart blows infiict no wound;
Not busy with his tongue or pen,
He questions truthful sky AMI ground.
Partner with seasons and the sun,
Natures co-worker; all his skill,
Obedience, ey'n as waters run,
Winds blow, herb, beast, their law fulfil.
A vigorous youthhood, clean and bold,
manly manhood, cheerful age,
His comely children proudly hold
Their parentage best heritage.
Unhealthy work, false mirth, chicane.
Guiit-needless woe, and useless strife
o cities vain, insane, insane!
How happy is the farmers life!
