They are also clear, trans

fit and stand upright; shape

"Don't waste your time with the branches

Said tho farmer 10 his son;
"But lay your axe To the root Of the tree,
And your work Is sooner done"
Then Hike good and dutiful boy,
Not a word back did he say,
But laid his axe at the root Of the tree,
And went of and fished all day.

Arguments Against Responsibility for
Any Debts of Virginia.
ny telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Attorney.Gen
Miller and Solicitor-General Taft to-day
gave a hearing 10 Governor Fleming, At
orney-General Caldwell. and Ex-Governor
Wilson, of West Virginia, in support #
the claim Of that State for refund Of direct
tax collected from its citizens amounting
to SlSl 900. The payment of this claim has
been suspended by the accounting officers
of the Treasury pending a settlement of
the question IA to the liability Of West
Virginia for certain bonds issued by Viz
GINA before the division of the State and
now held by the Government IN trust for
certain IndIen tribes. The hearing lasted
several hours. and the tenor OF the argyll
ments was against the responsibility Of
West Virginia for any and all debts OF Vir-
GINA. Nothing has been heard from the
authorities OF the latter State on the sub
ject. hut a syndicate holding large
amount of the bonds referred to has ex-
pressed desire TO be heard in opposition
10 the stand taken by the authorities Of
West Virginia. The Attorney General SAID
to-day that he would give the bondh6lders
an opportunity 10 present their side OF the
case before taking any further action.

THE FIGHT AT CHARLOTTE.
The Court Threatened Some of the Too
Enthusiastics with the Jail.

The Court Threatened Some of the Too
Enthusiastic with the Jail.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., Dec. 15.-This is
probably the last day of the fight between
the liquor men and the county commits
s~ioners, which has been going on for the
past seven days. Mr.. John HOWE, a
country man, who thought he would try
it, withdrew his application for license
this morning, and that reduced the thing
down to one application, that Of Capt. J.
Roesseler. They have had his character
in the crucible all day. The court had
been moved from the building in the
rear CT the court house to the court room
itself, and that large hall was crowded.
Capt. A. Burwell conducted Captain
BOOKSELLERS case. AS soon as Captain
Roelessler's application was made they
sprung or him that some time ago he
was guilty Of crookedness in making an
assignment. Captain Burwell objected
to this and there was speech making and
~wrangling for two or three hours. Cap
tain Burwell was at times cheered in his
remarks. This chafed the county COM
~missioners, and finally Esquire Hilton
arose from his chair and announced that
unless more respect was shown "the
court he would send some n to Jail.
Captain Burwell arose and tapping him
self upon the breast, said: II intend to
tell you what the law is, even if you do
send ME to Jail. After this little furry
things proceeded along quietly for
a while. DR.. McAden was the principle
witness, and he said that in his assign
ments Captain Roessler had acted as
though he was right. All this afternoon
the county commissioners have heard the
evidence, and at & o'clock adjourned till
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, when
further evidences in this case will be
heard.

Snakes in West Virginia.

1t is evident that West Virginia does
not intend to be relegated to the back
ground while the narration of snake
stories is going on, and she relates
through the medium of a dispatch the
following bouncer: while two lumber
men named McCray and Deuers were
telling timber near Cleveland, Webster
county, they cut down a large linn tree
which was literally alive with snakes OF
a variety before found in this vi
cinity. They were brown in color, large
in size-having yellow jaws, from which
they continuously evicted a shiny mat
ter-and were exceedingly vicious, at
lacking the men as o as the tree fell.
After killing a large number, McCray
and Deuers were obliged to retreat. Sc
curing assistance, they returned to the
spot and a general slaughter took place,
not less than 500 reptiles being killed.
Investigation was then made and from
1900 to 1900 eggs were found in various
parts of the tree"

4 Six-year-OId Giant.

There is a remarkable specimen Of a
boy in the New Jersey Reform school at
Jamesburg. He has been made d ward
of the state because it is not considered
safe for him to be at large. He is only
six years old, but has the and
the maturity Of a young man Of twenty
and the mustache of a man much older.
He is called by the medical men who
have examined him a ~precociOus baby
and a wonder in more ways than one.
His name is Herman Hofer. He is more
than foul feet in height, has, a nicely
curled blond mustache and can strike
from the shoulder with the force Of a
sledgehammer. He can move a barrel
of -four and lift easily a 200 pound
weight. His parents have found it i'm
possible to control him.
The boy is not only the admiration of
his companions, but the terror Of the
neighborhood. He can whip any boy in
Trenton, and he occasionally amused
himself by playing David to the town
Philistines, The parents were forced to
appeal to Judge Robert S.. Woodruff, of
the Mercer circuit court, to put him in
subsection. He was examined by DR..
Horace G.. Wetherill, who pronounced
him a phenomenon and a~remarkable
case. The boy is now at Jamesburg and
the wonder Of the institution. He has
not yet made any trouble. He is too
deeply interested in his new surround
ings. He is attending the school, but
the teachers have not yet reached a con-
clusion as to the trend of his mind
