Il once knew an old unreconstructed
Confederate in Arkansas who had a
colony of rattlesnakes that were trained
to play Dixie with their rattles TO his
intense ediication," said Colonel J. S.
Evans, of Meridian, Miss.
"The man belonged to my regiment
during the war, and he had rattle
snake that followed him all through the
Louisiana campaign like faithful dog.
He didn't join the army until near the
close Of the trouble, and he brought his
snake with him. When the reptile got
tired ON the march her master would
coil her around his neck and trudge
along with his pet until camp was
struck, AT night he put the snake in a
circle formed with hair rope, so as to
keep her from crawling around to the
dread of other soldiers. During battle
that snake would dart in and ont be
tween the ranks Of the fighting men un-
til she found her master, when she
would stick her tail straight into the air
and rattle off the first few bars of Dixie
with pronounced distinctness and the
most ecstatic delight. Her master had
of course taught her to do it.
"After the war he took his snake back
to tho Arkansas farm, and in little
while her progeny was wonderful. When
went to see him fifteen years ago his
barnyard was given over TO rattlesnakes,
and ON a signal from him, by ringing a
bell, the reptiles would dash to the CEN
ter Of the yard, and the clang of Dixie
that the swift movements of their tails
produced was rs deafening as it was in
spring. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The July number of Romance is peculiarly
suited to the season. An old-tlme Fourth-of-
July story by Helen Lee Sargent is one of
its features, and tales by Miss Milford, F. w.
Robinson, Edmond About, Alphonse Daudet,
Henri Paget and Ernest D'Hervilly, figure
among its contents. There are also striking
original sketches by Lieut.. J. H. Scott, Annie
w. Sanborn and A.. G.. Garfield. Romance
is distinguished for its excellent humorous
stories, and several appear most appropriate
ly in this hot-weather number. A half dozen
graceful love stories vie with them in amuse-
ment and interest. Two ghost stories, sever
al thrilling narratives of adventure, the ex-
quisite pathos of "The Siege of Berlin, and the
delicate drollery of "The Wizard of Plaisance''
combine to make the whole issue one of extra
ordinary merit and attractiveness. The mag
azine is issued by Romance Publishing Com
pany, Clinton Hall, Aston Place, New York
The price is 25 cents a number; subscrip-
lions, $3.50. a year.

Notes From q Traveller.

Some OF the most fertile land in the state
is to be found between Holdrege and the Col
orado line and as a grazing country there is
no inner in the land.
To ride across the praires of Nebraska to-
day it is almost impossible to imagine that
but twenty years ago it was the htme of the
Indians and the buffalo. The advance of
civilization soon works wonderful changes III
the appearance of the great west.
If NEBRASKA does not produce a splendid
crop OF cereals this year she has certainly
blinded the eye, dulled the intellect and be-
numbed the understanding of the observer of
the promising sign she has displayed in beau
tiful green ordered with sunshine and spread
upon her broad and rolling p%rairies.

Of the early settlement of America are fast

Crops of all kinds along the b. & NJ. from
Hastings to the Colorado line never looked

Are you troubled with corns or bunions? If
so, let us give you a little advice. Pare them
down as closely as possible without drawing
blood; then soak them in warm waterto soften
them and apply Chamberlain's Pain Balm
twice daily, rubbing them vigorously for a
few minutes at each application. A corn
plaster should be worn for a few days to pro-
tect them from the shoe. As a general lini-
ment for %sprains, bruises, lame back or rheu-
matism, Pain Balm is all that can be desired.
