THE EooL-KILLER WANTED.
A Young Man with Rattiesnake in
street Car.


Street Car.
Rather an exciting affair, in which
a rattlesnake played the most impor-
tant part occurred in a Post street.
cable car recently. according to the
San Francisco Chronicle. At the
corner of Stockton street Il tall ca
demonstrating youth boarded the
car. In one hand he held large tin
can covered with bit of newspaper
No enc would have paid any atten-
ton to him if he had not kept tapping
on the can with his finger and hold
ing it up to his car, while pleased grin
overspread his features. Aqueer buzz
zing sound seemed to issue from the
can. and at times was plainly heard
above the rumble of the car Finally
woman seated near asked what the
can contained.
"A rattlesnake was the careless
reply.
Without delay she signaled the con-
ductor to stop the car and left in
hurry, terror depicted on her face.
Still the loud buzzing continued.
Good Joke, young man, good joke
to make her think you had rattle
snake in that can. said little man in
treble voice, rubbing his hands to-
gether. as Turk street was reached
why, about forty years ago
But the little old man never finished
the sentence, for as he tapped the can
with his cane to illustrate his reminis-
cent remarks, and tapped it so hard
that the paper was broken and the
ugly black head OF vicious specimen
of crotalus horridus protruded In the
excitement the can was dropped on
the car floor and the snake escape64
from it
EB-z-z-z-tl B-z-z-z!
The car was filled with sounds that
resembled a chorus of half a dozen
locusts as the reptile assumed spiral
shape and prepared to strike the first
moving object within reach The OBJ
ject happened to be the little mans
leg. He nearly tainted from fright
and was too feeble to get up on the
seats as quickly as the other passen-
gers did
The rattler suddenly Strengthened
out his body and struck but miscal-
culated the distance and the little
mans life was saved, for he was
dragged out OF reach OF the deadly
fangs before the snake could strike
again. The car was stopped and the
remaining passengers alighted, leav-
ing the rather in full possession, but
not for long. because the gripman en-
tered with long iron crowbar. He
dealt a blow at the snake but missed.
and, had ne not jumped back in the
nick of time, the enraged reptiles
fangs would have been buried in his
leg The second blow broke the rat
tiers back and he was soon dispatched
ard thrown into the street.

The arronQ tcQN

me UrOng cay,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
curing it. The poisonous, irrita-
ting snuffs, strong caustic solutions,
creams" balms and the like may,
perhaps, palliate for 4 time. But
they may drive the disease to the
lungs. The wrong way is full of
danger.
The right way is a proved one.
It's with DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy. 1t cures, perfectly and per
mancntly, by its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties,
tie worst cases of Chronic Catarrh.
1t has proved itself right, thou
sands of times, when everything
else has failed.
And this makes its proprietors
willing to prove that it's the right
thing for yo,t, no matter how bad
your case or of how long standing.
If they can't cure your Catarrh,
they'll pay you $500 in cash.
They mean it.
They're certain of their medi-
cine.
