Marion Earnest and Frank Hedge,
two well-known citizens of Montpelier,
Ind, shiver yet when they speak of
their last Tuesdays adventure. Early
guns and started out cunning. While
beating about four-acre swamp. they
suddenly saw monster snake of the
''blue racer" kind rushing toward them
with its head well back and its flashing
eyes darting venomous glances into their
faces. A shudder ran through their
bodies from head to foot. Both of them
had double-barrel ShotgunS, but had no
thought of these as they ran for dear
life, until retreat was cut off by high
fence. Then Hedge turned, brought
his gun to his shoulder and shot the
snake, which was only few yards away.
1t measured nearly seven feet in length
and had been stirred to such an I'M
wonted display of courage by the fact
that it had had nothing to eat for week
or more.
While A H. Washburn. who lives ten
miles north of Quitman, Ga, was pass
ing around the back of his plantation
accompanied by two dogs-one bull
dog, the other a small one, the small
dog was suddenly attacked by monster
rattlesnake, which sprang upon him and
held him to the ground with its mouth.
The larger dog seeing the trouble, went
bravely to the rescue. The snake i'm
mediately released the small dog and
Sprang for the larger one, biting him in
the neck. Mr.. Washburn had in the
meantime got hold of a fence rail and
started for the scene of battle. On see
ing Mr.. Washburn, the snake left the
dogs and sprang for him. The old
gentleman backed few steps and gath
ering his energies, struck at his snake
ship with the rail. The rail took effect
on the snakes head and stunned him.
Then Mr.. Washburn got in his work and
in few minutes killed the reptile. The
snake was as large as a mans thigh and
seven feet long, an old settler evidently
Strange to say, the small dog recovered,
but the large bulldog died the next day.
A few. days ago, as the Misses Mary
and Della Moore, two Maryland girls, re-
siding about one mile from POcomOke,
were walking over their farm, superin-
tending the farm work, which they have
been doing during the illness of their
father, they sat down OH a log near
fence to rest. After talking for some
moments they arose to resume their
walk. Miss Mamie at that moment felt
heavy weight, which seemed to drag
her dress down behind. She requested
her sister to look and ascertain what
was the matter, and the latter on looking
discovered to the horror of both that a
large copperhead snake was coiled upon
her hustle. The snake was Immediately
knocked off and dispatched by the
plucky young women. 1t measured five
feet one inch in length and was about as
thick as a mans wrist.

CLEVELAND AND THURMAN.

The announcement of the results of
the st. Louis convention falls like
benediction on the ears of the American
people. Both the ticket and the plat
form are guarantee that the Demo-
cratic party sincerely and faithfully ad-
heres to the cause of the people, despite
the assaults of open foes and pre-
tended friends, and consecrates itself
anew to the great work that is before it.
There was no faltering at ST. Louis in
determining the question as to whether
the Democratic party should march I'M
der the banner of monopoly or the BAN
ner of the people. There was but one
voice, and as it was raised in loud ac-
claim that the cause of Democracy was,
had been, and forever should be the
cause of the people.
Devotion to the principles of a pure
and tsue Democracy could not have
been more forcibly demonstrated by the
convention than was done by the unani-
nous denomination of GROVER CLEvE-
LAND, the man who has been foremost
in restoring the government to its orig
inal prpose-of making it a govern
ment of the people, administered by the
people, and for the benefit of the peo-
pie. AS an instrument in the hands of
his party he has been faithful in the
performance of the trust committed to
him in restoring the forms of constitu-
tional government and in rescuing the
nation from the grasp of the mOnop-
olist. No more emphatic expression
could have been given by the national
Democracy of its determination to sup
port the president in his brave and hon
est fight against monopoly than was
given by associating ALLEN G. THUR
The issue presented by the nomina-
ton of CLEVELAND and THURMAN on
the platform adopted at ST. Louis yes
terday is well defined. There is no
danger of misconstruing it and no
chance to dodge it. The Democratic
party occupies bold, manly outspoken
position Oh the question that is upper
most in the American mind to-day, and
OH that issue it proposes to force the
fighting all along the line. The princi-
pies involved in this issue are not new
they are as old as human govern
ment; for in all ages of the word two
principles have contended for the mas
terry in government-one that the
favored few should govern and live in
idle luxury; the other that the toiling
many should control and shape public
affairs for their own benefit. The
champions OF the latter named their
candidates at st. Louis yesterday. The
advocates of the former viii name theirs
at Chicago two weeks hence; and upon
the issue thus joined the battle will be
waged.
Having arrayed themselves under the
banner of the people with the names OF
the peoples two great champions in
scribed upon its folds, and imbued with
the principles of pure constitutional
liberty, our national Democracy enters
the contest with strong hearts and con-
fident of a glorious triumph.

and work was Immediately furnished
the stranger At first he declined to
give his name or address, but finally
yielded, and told the officer in COM
mand that he was Pete, the plow-boy'
from Nantucket. He was at first
looked upon as a species of simpleton,
but when he became generally known,
and had proved himself to be worth
two men at manual labor, he became a
tavcrite. The fort completed, he en-
tered the regular service. The uni
form of private made a decided
change for the better in his personal
appearance. Hs was but a raw recruit,
yet in this he was not alone, for the one
hundred and sixty men that comprised
the little garrison were inexperienced
soldiers, hurriedly gathered together.
Along toward the middle of July,
young man arrived at the fort, and was
pressed into the service. He gave his
name as Albert Wright, and claimed
Boston as his home. His gentle, pol
ished manners contrasted greatly with
his shabby attire, but, after he had
been in the fort few days, and had
exchanged the garb of a citizen for the
uniform of a soldier, he was an altered
man He formed an attachment for
Pete, and the two might be found in
each others company at all times, save
when ON duty. Pete told Albert where
he had come from, and why he had left
Nantucket. Albert, in return, told
Pete that he had left Boston to search
for missing friend, nothing more.
Fort Stephenson had been erected for
an express purpose, aud was destined
to withstand furious assault. On the
morning of August the assault was
made. Within the little fort there were
but one hundred and sixty men, under
the command of Major Croghan. Out

Proctor, there were five hundred British
regulars. besides three thousand In

wind was blowing furious gale, MAX
ing even the logs in the solid little
structure creak under the strain. Pete
paused but Il moment, yet that moment
was the turning-point in his life. Miss
Lowrey. who was eagerly watching
his movements and wondering what
meaning could be attached to his
strange actions, resolved, in her own
peculiar way, to put him to the test.
Just as Pete was about to slide the
bolt, he was stopped short by the voice
of Miss Lowrey, saying:
Pete, you seem to be afraid of the
Storm
Pete turned and looked her full in
the face. An angry flush sutfused his
countenance, while his voice was fierce
to demonstrate to her the fact that ne
was in earnest in what he said, and
wicked enough to make Joshua Banks
tremble perceptibly.
Miss Lowrey," he said, II beg
pardon for remaining in your presence
so long. Perhaps I'm a coward; per-
haps not. You can reckon on not be-
ing troubled with me for some time"
Turning to Joshua, he continued:
Josh, you are brave man, and can
take good care of Miss Lowrey. You'll
see me again"
The door opened; he cast defiant
look at the astonished couple, and then
disappeared in the darkness. The next
morning he was missing, and only two
knew the cause of his strange disap-
pearance, and for some reason or other
they did not mention the fact to any
one.
The war with England was then be-
ing waged with unabated fury and en-
thusiasm. Early in April, 1913, work
was begun on Fort Stephenson, on the
Sandusky river. One morning, about
week after the ground had been
broken, stranger presented himself,

He handed her the packet, and rose
to leave. She looked up at him, and
with tears in her eyes, said:
please remain u few minutes
longer"
Pete fell back in his chair, and toyed
with his hat, while Mrs. Wright broke
the seal of the packet and looked hur-
riedly over its contents. There was
one little note that attracted her atten-
ton, and she blushed deeply as she
read the following:
The man who will deliver this to you is, not
withstandIng your doubts to the contrary, q
brave man.
UnknOwingly Pete had brought her
proof positive that he was not a cow
ard.
She rose from her seat, gathered up
the contents Of the packet, and walking
over to the hearth, tossed them on the
burning logs, saying as she did So:
