These two fair women had been the
favorite associates Of his wife, En-

the world had for five years deemed
dead. The lady had been his second
wife a fascinating American; and for
one fair summer she had ruled, 3 queen

The Brookfield Argus says: The
farmers in the Missouri Alliance
who actually farm killed the third
party sub-treasury propositions of
the extremists, and they did well.
If now appears that the whole third
party sub-treasury agitation was
due to a soeialistic wing of the alli-
ance labor people, which has its
hold and stronghold in the cities Of
the State, and, meeting secretly
and with barred caucuses, was en-
deavoring to harness the entire AL
lance of Missouri to its interests.
The socialistic wing went to War
rensburg to use the Alliance, but
the better and more conservative
sense of the real farmer defeated it.

RATHER CAUGHT BAREHANDED.
Foolhardy Feat Of an Eleven ear-OId
Boy-Nine Rattles.
From the New York Sun.

From tAe New YORK sun.
An eleven-year-old youngster OF
Monroe, Grange county, N. Y, is
the first person known in that sec-
ton to have caught and made pris-
one a live RATHER, without having
been bitten. One day last week the
little fellow took it in his head to
go up among the hills on a pleas
ure trip. The entire region sur
rounding Mombasia Lake is wild,
billy, and covered with woods,
among which are innumerable
rocks. The region is infested with
rattlesnakes, blacksnakes and cop
perheads, as well as others of the
harmless varieties. The only snakes
considered poisonous are the rat
tiers and copperheads.
The little fellow was tramping
around the rocks with no special
purpose, and suddenly ran across a
large rattlesnake that was lying
motionless on a fiat rock near some
bushes. Without stopping to con.
slider the danger of a close approach
to the serpent the boy walked eau
tiously up and seized it around the
body Just behind the head. The
snake squirmed and attempted te
release itself but the boy held on
with grit and determination until
the snake coiled itself about the
boys body. With the snake in
that position the boy walked back te
the village, and caused consterna.
ton among the natives when he
approached several that he knew
with the snake still squirming about
him and its mouth open to its full
capacity.
When the boy was told that ht
was holding a deadly rattlesnake ii
his hand he suddenly got alarmed
and would have released his hole
had he not been warned to cline
tight and avoid being bitten. Thu
snake was finally secured around
the head and rendered harmless, aftel
which he was uncoiled and placed il
a large box with a glass window il
it. On making an examination i
was found that the snake had MIN
~rattles and button. The snake i
still confined in the box and is Oh
exhibition. in one OF the villag,
stores.
The way the people account TO
the boys escape is, from the fac
that rattlesnakes shed their skin il
August, at which time they r yer.
stupid and partly blind. The littl
boy was barefooted at the time ant
that may have saved him. On hear
ing the account Of the boys daring
exploit his mother took him to
doctor to be examined, thinking b
might have been bitten on the body
but she was assured that he was al
fright.
