Il keen whistle it sprang at the young man.
and before Mr.. Hill could resist it entwined
itself around his body and arms Hill
could not get his knife, but managing to
get one hand partially loose he grusped the
snake and began tugging away for dear
life. Fortunately, his dog was with him,
and seeing the peril of his master came to
his relief Hill, with the assistance of the
dog, managed to free himself from the af
fectionate embrace of his snakeship, which
then run up cedar tree a short distance
away.
Hill gathered some stones, and, going ur
to within ten feet of the tree, was prcpar
ing to dilodge the snake with the argu.

the small boy in his apple tree, but the
snake did not wait for Mr.. Hill to renew
the battle Springing from the tree it
made II second attack upon him, but us it
came Mr.. Hill threw up his arm and
warded it off Before it recovered itself
the dog again attacked it, and this time
succeeded in breaking the back Of the snake

ice water tank in Il Pullman car It is
loaded with two quarts of coal, the small
three inch pipe adjusted tn the chimney
and the coal lighted. After burninga while
the draft is shut off, and the stove is
wheeled around the room. The room is
warmed in sections First it is wheeled
up to the old man, who throws out his fin
gers, then across to the old lady, who EN-
braces it, and then up to the baby Then
it is wheeled back to the chimney, the
draft opened and the fire reliindled. There
are usually two chimney holes about the
room.
"After one room has been treated to a
fire the stove is rolled into the hall or into
another room, or taken by the handle and
carried upstairs. The same stove is used
in the bedroom to dress by rolled into tn

1T is hardly possible 70 be original in
such big world as this, said dear old
lady. ~ don't feel very lonely in any of
my prejudices. Somebody is sure to share
them" Two ladies travelling together rec
orled a solemn resolution before starting
that If they made acquaintance by the
way they would cannily avoid telling their
own destination
For" said they, according to the tales
we have heard, casual acquaintance are
always Offering their company on any
route, and we don't propose being saddled
with unwelc0nle companions"
Now it happened that they did make
many acquaintance, and shat all these
people studiously avoided any reference to
their own plans of travel What could the
reason beP Neither of the two ladies guessed
until one evening chance bit Of CONVEX
sation, overheard on shipboard, enlight,
ened them.
"Don't tell II soul where we are going
dear" lady was saying TO her husband.
''or we shall have some of these small par
ties joining us Don't lie, dear. but evade
them somehow
Then the two travellers looked at each
other with eyes opened to a wider worldly
experience. For the first time they realized
that they were not merely avoiders Of
others, !;;;;t persons 70 he avoided.
The anecdote finds parallel in the true
story Of ahree teachers who went for n few
weeks to summer resort, and resolved
beforehand to tell no one their occupation.

their spokeswoman, and with this the

The New Era exhibits a great deal
of hilarity over Clarksville's discom-
torture for the figures in the census,
reports depriving her of $500 popu
lation in the count, to which sine is
entitled, and suggests in the way OF
consolation that while GAINESVILLE
may not have as many people as
Hopkinsville by thousand or more,
she has more than Casky station and
Pembroke unit i. This is indeed
more generous than was to be eX-
pected in our neighbor, who is al
ways claiming the earth and all
therein, but either one of these flour
ishing country towns can boast of a
larger population than Hopkinsville
has outside of the lunatic asylum.

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated us not requiring much
attention.; the assumption being that
they will soon pass of, and it is only
when case Of iull-hedged sickness de-
yelops Itself that the consequences Of
that neglect are fully realized. As a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting OF blood
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
