Do YOU not know that Mr.. Knott

Is it necessary, when travelling on a

interrogatories is anxiously looked

Killed by a Rattlesnake,

Near Memphis, Tenn, the other day,
while two boys, Jackson Moore and
John Harvey, aged about II years,
were hunting, they discovered large
rattlesnake coiled upon a rock, appar-
emily asleep. Moore said he would
capture the snake. He crept up to
the deadly rattler and by a quick
movement caught it firmly below the
head and held it at arms length in
triumph. Suddenly the snake coiled
itself around the boys arm. He be-
came frightened and attempted to
throw it off, when the reptile struck
him in the neck. Its fangs became
fastened in the flesh. The unfortu
nate victim screamed with horror, and
grasping the snake with both hands
tore itloose and flung it to the ground.
He then fell to the earth in swoon,
while his terrified friend fled for as
sistance. The nearest house was two
miles distant, and when help arrived
the poor lad was past help and died
in agony. The snake was found coil
ed close by, and when killed measured
four feet nine inches, and had Is rat

young man she had never seen. Mary
+. Knowlton, the adopted daughter of
Farmer Lafayette knowlton, was Il
bright girl of eighteen years. Some
months since she got into correspond

ofSaginaw, Mich, who had advertised
for wife. Her guardians strenuous
ly objected to her continuing CORE
spondence of this nature, but the cor
respondence was kept up, pictures en-
changed, and ultimately the young
man sent her direct proposal of mar
rage. She wanted to return favor
able reply, but her parents by adop-
ton opposed the step. Mary there
upon drank Strychnine, and died in
spasms.

A great many people have wondered
where the expression log cabin and
hard cider" used in the Harrison cam
paign of 1910, originated. From a
Harrison almanac, in possession of
Attorney VIM. Middleton, we learn
that an unlucky politician in stump
speech said that Harrison is poor
man who lives in log cabin and has
nothing better TO drink than hard
cider This expression was instantly
taken up by Harrison's friends, and
proved great campaign card for the
General.

tention, and without great personal
Inconvenience and loss, | could not

pie of West Virginia have been KIND

sion, so that they may be advised OF
my decision in the premises. 1t Is

gage with others in building a north
and south line of railroad through the
State, which is regarded, in a meas
ure, as a public advantage, as it will
largely develop the resources of the
State and add to its wealth and pros
perity. 1t is feared by my associates
and myself that my candidacy would
interfere with the proper care and
prosecution of this enterprise. hope
and believe the convention will select
and elect worthy, sound and pro-
gressive man, identified with West
Virginia and its development, who
will work for the advancement of the
people and the progress of the State. )"
