reaches out for the sweetmeat in the matter
of snakes. And, soon or late, it might have
been expected perhaps The section whose
women are veritable queens ought naturally
show up something handsome in the serpen-

mp at the inference, either. Didn't Eve sus-
tain some sort of relations with a serpent
we'd like to know? A Boone county Ky
farmer-it's always a farmer, you might
have notced-found an unusually ridgy
protuberance that wound upward about the
trunk of a big tree in his Locality. He
brought his boy to see it and the lad,
prmed for a lark, made small bones Of
climbing up the impromptu ladder. He
was barely ensconsed in neat nook alott
when the spiral protuberance began to
squirm lazily misunderstanding an aston
shed youngster high and dry. Mark what
followed, We emuators of Annanias Stalk
ing his chance for fame on one bold venture
that enterprising agrculturst whipped out
a horse pistol, fired into space and the scar
ed "sarpiut9 ineontinently turned tail and,
as best he could, hustled up the tree
again. Whereupon the agile youth grace
fully avaied himself Of the restored stair
way and sought the vicinity Of his delight

clingin'. Kentucky wants to know what's
the matter with her taking the belt? Why
nothing. Give it to her. Only an Ochil-

SHATTERED RINGS.

The INrER.OcEAN has frequently
warned the Republican party of the
impending danger which threatened
its future. With a majority of be-
tween fifty and a hundred thousand
some Of the party leaders seemed to
defy public opinion. In some counties,
where the party was very strong, extrav.
agance predominated, rings were formed
to bleed the taxpayers and every posi-
BILE form Of political brutality was inaug.
urated. The inevitable result was de.
feat, and it came. In Cass county,
where the Edwards gang have been fat
tening at the public crib, where courts
have been corrupted and other sacred
popular rights tempered with, a comb.
nation of Democrats and farmers has
been successful over the old tricksters.
Walshism in Grand Forks county and
La Mou.eism in Pembina were put
down in the September conventions
and the verdict in those conventions
has been sustained at the polls. Ir
Kidder county the bulldozer Kernal w
F. Steele is defeated. In Trail county
the Faulk ring, with its Plummer at
tachment, has been shattered. In al
these counties, which boosted of MAORI
ties which seemed impregnable, the cor
rupt leaders have been ''snowed under.
