He Crows and Chuckles Over a Flat
headed Adder Coiled in His Lap
From the Philadelphia Press.
SoMERvILLE. DC 14.-This morning the
family of William Porter left their child, a
1-year-old boy, playing upon their kitchen
floor, while they busted themselves with
their work upstairs. Shortly after they
heard the youngster Growing and laughing,
and one of the women ran down stairs to
see who or what it was that was furnishing
the youngsters amusement.
She was Mortified to find snake coiled UP
on the baby's lap with its head on line
with his face. The child was stroking the
snakes body and laughing at its dangerous
plaything. and the snake apparently en-
joyed it as much as the child. as it made no
demonstrations of anger.
The reptile was driven off and killed. 1t
was yard long, and. from the description
which the family give of it. it is supposed
to have been a hat-headed adder The
child manifested great grief at being de-
prived of his source of amusem emit.

Effect of the hegistration of Blacks
Upon Congressional Elections.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 16.-The split in the
Democratic party has caused the demo-
cratic congressional candidates some un-
easiness. While tho Haskellites do not ask
any black votes and will make no ar
rangement, and will have no understanding
with the republicans. it is believed that the
disposition of the blacks is to vote the Has
kell ticket To do that they will
have to register. With reference
to the matter the Tilllnanites
say; "Down in the black district Judge
Haskelfs friends may be willing to pils up
a huge negro registration aud vote for him,
but they cannot do it wi hout piling up the
same vote against Elliott, Tillman. Braw-
ley, and Stacknouse, the four democratic
nominees for congress-" II the blacks
should determine to vote the Haskell ticket
the political complexion of the South Caro-
lima delegation to congress may be changed
considerably. If the negroes are allowed to
vote at the state polls, they will vote at the
congress polls, and this will make a differ
ence in the outcome.

some figures about her, and womankind in

to be, say, go years old. Women don't like
to die any more than men do-not as much
for women never grow old, you know.
Listen to me: She will eat one pound Of
beef, mutton. or some other flesh every
day. That's 365 ponnds of meat In wear.
In sixty years it's 81 300 pounds. How's
that for fragile? She will eat as much
bread and as much vegetables per diem.
and there you have in sixty years IS, 800

after six months; there is no equity
of redemption and the sale becomes
absolute.
We believe our present foreclos-
ure law is not founded on principles
of justice and fairness to the farmer
and should be amended.
Times are hard and but few COM
panies or individuals are loaning
money on real estate security in
western Kansas. A great many
mortgages will become due within
the next year or two and it may be
difficult, in many instances, to re-
new the loans, to say nothing about
paying off the mortgages.
With a redemption law the lend
err would get his interest the same
and the farmer would have an OPP
portunity either to pay of his mort
gage, or make a turn Of some kind,
so that he would not loose all.

The Question Of interest.

SENATOR CULLoM, of Illinois, has
introduced a bill authorizing the
secretary Of the treasury to make
loans to the farmers Of the United
States, out of any money not other
wise appropriated, at two per cent.
per annum and secure payment by
mortgage on the land.
While we would all like to see
the farmers secure money at a low
rate of interest, there is no POSSIBLE
ity, we think, that this bill will ever
become a law.
That there would be bitter and
determined opposition on the part
of corporations and money lenders
generally there is no reason to
doubt; but aside from the OPPOSE
ton the bill is certain to engender
from those interested in its defeat,
we are inclined to think that it is
impracticable and ought not to pass.
There are numerous reasons why
in our opinion the bill is objection
able. One is that it savOrs too
much of class legislation. Another
is that the general government can
not afford to carry on real estate
and brokers' office.
1t is not to be assumed that the
government will be more
careful in placing loans than private
who are dealing with
their own funds, and the inevitable
result would be that a great many
mortgages would be foreclosed and
the land owned by the government.
The question of interest is one of
grave Importance, particularly to
the farmers of western Kansas. In
all new countries values are more or
less unstable and, as a consequence,
securities are uncertain, and in order
to induce money lenders to take the
risk a higher rate Of interest must
be offered.
The experience Of loan companies
for the last two years has not been
satisfactory, notwithstand-
ing the high rate of interest secured
The time will come when money
will be as cheap here as elsewhere,
but it viii not be until real estate
has an intrinsic value of its own,
not dependent upon initiation and
speculation.
