In his new buggy, leading his new horse.
When he was nearing the Little Tai
lapoosa river bridge at Kingsberry's
mill he suddenly heard roaring among
the trees, which he instantly supposed
to be storm. Looking up the hill he
saw the forest in comInotion and the trees
falling and bending toward him, and in
the midst Of it huge body, which
proved to be snake.
The doctor put whip to his horse and
was quickly on the bridge. Feeling the
buggy jerk he looked back and saw the
snake swallow the horse he was leading
and plunge into the river just above the
bridge, and just as the snake polzed his
head out on the other bank of the stream
his tail was still up on the side of the
hill, his body reaching clear across the
river.
The horse, having on new shoes,
kicked through the stomach of the
snake, and the snake stopped and the
stream was damned, and the water rose
and foated the snake to level with the
bridge. The doctor jumped out of the
buggy, took out big knife and, cutting
the hole larger where the horses feet
were sticking out of the snakes body,
the horse hounced out and mounted the
bridge. The doctor secured him to his
buggy and drove on, but by this time
the water had backed till the horse had
to swim the low ground, but they made
their escape.-Atlanta Constitution

TWO OPINIONS.
They Came Down from the Supreme
Court.

They Came Down from the Supreme
Court.
The clerk OF the state supreme court
yesterday received two decisions, Of
which the following are the points:
The first was in the matter OF the
estate of Henry S. Burton. The pro-
ceeding was taken to have the court de-
termine the rights of all persons to the
estate of Henry S. Burton and fix upon
whom distribution thereof should be
made. The court below found that five
sixths of the Rancho Jamul, tract Of
S125 acres in San Diego county, had
descended to Maria A. Burton, Nellie de
Pedrorena and Henry H. Burton, and
that through the foreclosure of mort
gage executed by these heirs, the
plaintiff, Maggie Leach, executrix of the
will of Wallace Leach, deceased, had
succeeded to the property. The supreme
court affirms the Judgment.
An opinion was handed down also in
the case of Morrill, ct al, appellants,
vs.. Nightengale ct al. This is the case
in which certain members of the Mil
waukee Furniture company sought to
enforce against Newell Nightengale a
contract which the latter claimed he
had entered into upon duress. The
amount claimed was $4,000. The case
was tried few years ago before Judge
Wade and verdict was rendered for
Nightengale. The supreme court affirms
the judgment.

TWO Powarfnl Raadinps.

The audience which greeted Mr.. Gable
on Saturday evening at the Los Angeles
theater was appreciative and hearty.
Mr.. Gable was heard to say that he
hoped it would be his good fortune to
see as appreciative one tonight. Rev.
Mr.. Bugbee named Charles Dickens and
George W. Gable as the two men of our
time possessing both creative powers of
the novelist and the re-creative power of
the actor. Every trick of manner and
speech, every characteristic pose and
gesture OF the street urohin, the piquant
accent and significant shrug OF the
creole. and the boisterous fervor of the
backwood's parson were all reproduced
with most telling effect. Tuesday even

thority severe) will be presented, and
quaint creole songs in Mr.. Cables fine
tenor will be added. To enjoy rare
treat, and to aid the worthy object
which the ladies have in hand, hear

Olives in California.

1t is said that olive growing will have
wonderful impetus throughout south
ern California during the next few
months, because of the present very
large crop of olives, the introduction of
new methods and machinery for making
olive oil, and especially because of the
splendid prices the olive growers are
getting for their crop this season. Olive
growing has reached such stage in
Pomona valley that two olive mills are
now being built for immediate use
there. Prices for cured or picked olives
are as high as ever, and the demand for
olive oil is far in excess of the supply

WHOM DID CAIN MARRY?
A Sunday Thought by Man of tn
World,

a Sunday Thought by Man of the
World.
"Whom did Cain marry?" is ques-
ton often asked in derision by those
who reject the Bible. Col. Ingersoll
and other celebrities among the "wise
men" who discover mistakes" and
hurl their shafts of rdicule at the in
spired writings, have asked the
question.
The question is asked because the
narrative giving history of the Gre
alton and of the human race is silent
as to there being any other woman in
the world except Eve until the wife OF
Cain is abruptly mentioned.
The truth is, at the time Cain
"knew his wife" the earth must have
had over 5000 population.
Cain, the first born upon earth, from
all can learn, was born about year
after Adam and Eve were banished
from the garden. He slew his brother

"Baking Powders" and the Public Health.

From the AUSTIN Tex, Medical Journal)
The attention of the sanitary Off
GERS of the United States government
has been directed to the matter of bak.
ing powders at various times. Prof
HI. A. Mott, chemist for the govern.
ment, has made an analysis of over
one hundred brands of baking pow
ders, bought in the open market. He
found many of them chad lot" The
Royal he reported as perfectly pure
and wholesome, but in the others he
found lime, alum, etc., in quantities
sometimes as high as II per cent. of
their entire weight.
Actuated partly by curiosity, and
partly by an interest in the subject,
we caused an examination of this
brand, the Royal Baking Powder, to
be made by competent chemist, and
assured ourselves gifts purity. Doubt
less there are other brands which are
pure, or nearly so; but q conspicuous
position has been given this one in
particular by published analysis and
testimonials OF absolute purity by
such men as Prof. III. A. Mott, DR.. w.
G.. Tucker, professor Of chemistry of
the Albany, N. Y, Medical College;
Prof. McMutrie, late chemist of the
agricultural department ofthe United
States government, and by Prof NAL
lett, of the Virginia University, well
known to all Texans as a thorough
and conscientious chemist.
1t is not claimed that all baking
powder adulteratSons are harmful, but
it is to be urged that there is great
danger in the use of those miscellane-
GUS powders which flood the market,
or are peddled from door to door,
whose contents are not known, or are
of doubtful quality. When, therefore,
we find so conspicuous an example of
purity in an article of food as is shown
by the analysis of the Royal, the pub
lie and the medical profession should
show their appreciation of it; should
regard it as benefaction; and part
of the care exercised by the family
physician on behalf of the health of
his constituency, if directed to advise
the use of such pure articles of food
only would doubtless prove protect
i've measure against future ailment,
