The Editor Gives Strange Names to the
Game He Receives.
The editor OF the Sissons Mascot is
deputy fish and game commissioner.
He wears the badge of his Office out
side his coat and hardly week goes
by that he does not inveigh, editorial
ly, against the shooting of game out
of season.
The Siskiyous, says the San Francis
co Examiner, are full Of deer now and
the mountaineers all have guns. Nat
turally pretty much all the time peo-
pie are coming into the Mascot Office
with launches and saddles of wild
meat, and as each subscriber deposits
his burden he glances at the editors
badge and says:
'Here is hunk of bear meat"
Old Shasta Joe came down from the
mountain the other day and called on
the editor with contribution.

tired of bear meat" he said, $50 /

Since this the editor has been ia.

his last issue he acknowledges receipt
of sections of hippotamus, casowary,
giraffe, walrus and megatherium.

The TIPPING EVIL.
1t Cannot BE Stopped Says New York
Man About Town.

Man About Town.
81 see," remarked a well-known man
about town the other day, to a New
York Herald reporter, that we are in
the midst of another of those periodic
outbreaks against tipping, but it won't
make bit of difference; tipping will
go on just the same. Some few people
will conceive the notion that as mat
ter of principle they ought to refrain
from tipping and they will try it for a
few days and then will conclude that
for the sake of their own peace of mind
they'd better tip. They'll continue
confirmed 'tippers' for the rest of their
days.
1.-The fact is it requires more courage
to rebel against the tipping system
than it does to revolt against almost
any other social custom. know
whereof | speak, for I've been there, >
and I'll just tell you how it works
When you withhold the usual tip you
become painfully aware that the wait
er thinks you are frightfully mean.
You would like to explain to him that
you are only making noble and
heroic fight for principle, but of course
that is out of the question. Now, moth
ing hurts a mans pride so much as to
feel that somebody thinks him mean.
lie could better endure being thought
gambler or a 'bunco steerer.' or a
man who didn't pay his debts. You
become afraid to look that waiter in
the face. Next time you dine some
where else, and again incur the odium
of undeserved contempt. You don't
get hardened to it; you hate it worse
each time, and after it has gone ON
three or four days you just say to YOUR
self: Hang it"-or something else
this thing has got to stop. | can't
stand having people think I'm mean
when amt; devil take the principle
OF the thingn Then you resume tin
ping and are happy once more"

The Horrible Death of a
Young Girl.
Attacked by Seven Big
Moccasin Snakes.
Her Agonized Father Finds
Her Dead.
After a Battle Of an Hour with the
Reptiles He Secures His
Daughters Body.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. l0.-l Associ'
sted Press. Minnie Hightower, the l6.
year-old daughter OF Hiram Hightower,
trapper and fisherman who lives on
Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas, was killed
by moccssin snakes Saturday in a
singular and horrible manner. The
story was told today by man who saw
her body.
The moccasin snake loees its vision
almost entirely during the month OF
August, just before it sheds its skin.
During this period Of blindness the
reptile is very vicious and strikes at
every noise. Horseshoe Lake is noted
for the mum Der of snakes to be found
in its waters and along the banks, but
Miss Highto yer had killed hundreds OF
the reptiles and had little fear of them.
Saturday che pulled her canoe to a
drift of logs in the middle of the lake
| for the purpose OF fishing.
When Hightower rHturned at noon
he looked toward the drift end was sur
prised to see his daughter stretched out
on the logs. He padded quickly to the
island, scarcely 100 yards from the bank.
Lying on the logs was the girl, dead,
swollen and discoIored almost beyond
recognition. Hightower counted seven
large moccasins coiled on and around
the body. She WAS barefooted, and the
marks of the serpents' fangs were on
her feet. legs, face and neck.
The snakes showed no disposition &c
retreat when the agonized father ap
preached. They coiled and struck a.
him as coon as he set foot on the logs
and it took him nearly an hour to re
cover the body.
