A GOOD SNAKE STORY.

Once in while the Atlanta Cen
stitutioa relates tale that is calcu-
lated to shake the average readers
confdence:in it's veracity, even though
the story be vouehed fer. The fol-
lowing is striking example: cdr. /.
n. CLANCY used to practice medicine
in CaroIltton. Henow keeps hotel
in Bremen. He went to Carr0llton
the other day In his buggy and, while
there, traded an old debt for a good
horse and started out for Boston in
his new buggy, leading his new horse.
When be was nearing the Little Tai
!apoosa river bridge. at kingsberry
mill, he suddenly heard a roaring
among the trees, which he supposed
to be a storm. Looking up the hill
he saw the forest in commotlon and
the trees falling and bending toward
him, and in the midst of it a huge
body which proved to be snake.
The doctor pat whip to his horse and
was quickly on the bridge. Feeling
the buggy jerk he looked and
saw the snake swallow the horse he
was leading and plunge into the river
just above the bridge, and as the
snake poked his head out of the other
bank of the stream. his tail still upon
the side of the hill, his body reached
clear across the river. The horse,
having on new shoes, kicked through
the stomach of the snake, and the
snake stoped and the stream was
damned, and the water rose and float
ed the snake to level with the brid-
&c. The doctor jumped out Of the
buggy, took out a big knife, and, cut
ting the hole larger where the horse S
feet were sticking out of the snake s
body, the horse founced out and
mounted the bridge, The doctor
secured him to his buggy and drove
on, b4t by this time the water had
backed till the horse had to swim tt
the low ground, but they made then
escape.

A Visit tn Dnm

1t was during my second visit to Paris
in 1912 that | met Dumas. Whenever |
called | was told that he was not up yet,
until I concluded that he spent the whole
day in bed. At last, when I had called
half a dozen times in vain, I sent up my
letter and determined to wait until he
should get up. After awhile the servant
returned and asked me to accompany
him to NJ. Dumas bedroom. 1t was a
splendidly furnished room, but in great
disorder. AS | entered Dumas looked
up, nodded kindly to me and said, "Sit
down a minute; | am just having a visit
from a lady" and seeing my astonish-
ment he burst into a hearty laugh and
added: at is my muse. She will be
going directly"
He was sitting up in bed as he said
this, writing at lightning speed in a
clear, beautiful hand, and. shying each
sheet as he finished it across the floor in
all directions. l could scarcely step for
fear of spelling his manuscript. l
waited for ten or fifteen minutes, during
which he kept scratching away, crying
out every now and then, "Viva! Bon,
mon garcon!" Excellent Alexandre!'
AT last, with a jerk as of an earthquake,
he rolled his huge form out of bed,
wrapped the blanket about him toga
fashion, and in this costume advanced
toward me, declaiming furiously at the
top of his voice. AS he strobe along
with theatrical gestures l fell back, half
alarmed at his vehemence, and when l
had reached the door he seized me by
the lapels of my coat, shook me gently
and said: "Now isn't that magnificent,
eh? Superb; worthy of Racine!' l as
sented, as soon as l could catch my
breath, that it was very magnificent.

A SORRY SIGHT.

1t would have been impossible once to
have had convention like that one OF
two days ago dominated by federal off,
GERS like United States Marshal Gard
and the rest. The sentiment of people
less used to such spectaclea would have
been irresistibly against it here and in
any community in the country. But
the average delegate is today saying that
the government officials have made a
systematic campaign on behalf of the
candidate who is generally expected to
be nominated for congress in this dis
trict. One gentleman openly charges
that Santa Barbara county will be rep
resented by delegates appointed by the
collector and the marshal, and that no
primaries were called or permitted to
be held. AS to the exact truth Of this
we cannot state or even know; but this,
in common with other hard sayings, is
openly talked on the streets.
The Republican party has little

eaowrH or ouR coAsrINa raADE.

The Southern Pacific folks will bull d
up big wharf and warehouse at their
new quarters north of Santa Monica.
This is the outgrowth of the gradual
expansion of the southern coast trade,
which has long since found San Pedro
too small to do the whole of it.
Redondo has about three years exist
ence as seaport town and is already
doing larger business than San Pedro
did up to the time it was twelve years
old, yet San Pedro was never more pros
porous than today. Redondo averages
a trifle in excess of sixty tons per day
and her largest receipts for one day
were when the Santa Rosa, one day last
week, landed 302 tons on that wharf in
six hours and four minutes from the
time the lines were fast. This was just
an hour faster than Captain Alexander
had calculated upon, and that gentle
man was very much pleased.
The old wharf at Santa Monica, built
in 1874 by Senator Jones of Nevada, was
very long one and built with great
business expectations which were
destined never to be realized. 1t sue
cumbed to the ravages of the native
teredo, long before the Australian Ii m
noria began to take out his naturaliza-
ton papers and domesticate himself in
American waters. HID the senator
waited about ten years longer, the wharf
and railway would have been really
good investment.
But the new wharf will be big one,
and it will be capable of doing heavy
business. The Southern Pacific is Pc
culiar corporation, being never in a
hurry to do anything. It never makes
any Improvements to anticipate the
needs of it's traffic, but when it finds
that it cannot get along without those
improvements, il does not hesitate to
spend the biggest kind of money in their
construction. 1t is going to build at
Santa Monica simply because it has no
interest at Redondo, and because the
business at San Pedro has grown SO
steadily that it needs more track room
than the company can obtain at that
place.
The difference between the. situation
in 1886 and at the present writing, lies
in the fact that then there was a
"boom," having no real basis for the
feverish initiation of prices which pre-
vailed at that time. Now there is nc
"boom" Whatever. The growth of the
coasting trade is merely proportionate to
the gradual settlement of the country
tributary to Los Angeles, as the dis.
tributor and to San Pedro, Redondo and
Santa Monica, as the embarcaderos
Values have been on the slow-and-sure
increase for the past two years, and thai
is far better than any boom. The in
crease of the coastwise trade indicates 9
healthy growth and forward mach
that knows no retreat.
