The eminent naturalist, the late
Frank Buckland, when surgeon in
the Second Life guards, was one day
called to attend to trooper who had
blown his brains out with a pistol
The man died, and some time after
ward belief in luck, either good or
bad, prompted Buckland to inquire
what had become of the weapon.
The colonel showed him the firearm
readily, but laughed when Buckland
declared that he thought it would be
best to destroy the fatal weapon.
Nevertheless only short time after
Buckland was called to attend to the
colonel's servant, who had attempted
to kill himself with the very same

Danrerous Pun Adders.

Dogs become frequent victims to
snakes in South Africa through their
keen sense of smell and their deter
mination to investigate. One splen-
did large dog and two fox terriers
met with their death near Port Eliz-
abeth through the bite Of puff adders.
Though there are other highly ven
omous and equally abundant snakes
at the cape. they are more of the
active cobra kind, while the puff
adders are extremely sluggish and
inactive reptiles which do not get
out of the way. but lie half hidden
among the herbage or among roots
and stones. with which they assimi-
late in color. By their hiss they be-
tray themselves when danger threat

A. J. DREXEL DEAD.
WeII.knoWn Banker Expires Suddenly il
GERMANY

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 3O.-A pri-
vate cablegram received at Drexels
banking house states that A. j. Drexel
died to-day at Carlsbad, Germany. Mr..
Drexel left for Europe few weeks ago
in fairly goo d health.
MIR. DreXel was born in Philadel phia
in 1926. His father, Francis Martin
Drexel, was the founder Of the largest
banking institution in the Quaker City.
After the death of the senior DreXel
he was succeeded in business by Antho-
nv j. and the late Francis A. Drexel,
under whose management the banking
house became the largest and most sue
cessful enterprise of it's kind in Ameri-
ca. 1t had worldwide reputation,
and the name oi Drexel u Co. was
known to nearly every business house
on the face of the globe.
Anthony J. Drexel entered the bank
when only Is years # age, before he
had completed his sta lies at school. 1t
was his aim in life to build up the insti-
tuition which had been SO successfully
carried on by his father, and the history
of the bank is the history Of Mr.. Drexel's
life. Its rapid growth was due in a
great measure tc his directing hand.
He was quick and had an intllitive per-
ception, which enabled him to decide
promptly in all matters Of important
business. He was of a generous dispo-
sition and there are many instances
where he has saved institutions from
ruin and disgrace by extending them
relief when disaster stared them in the
face.
The reputation of the Drexel banking
houses for fair dealings has always been
maintained on the highest plane. The
loans, credits and transactions Of the
Drexel houses, for the past third Of a
century, have extended all over the
commercial world. Anthony J. Drexel
was noted for his liberality in assisting
charitable and benevolent projects.
The Drexel Institute in Philadelphia,
which he recently founded and heavily
endowed, has already achieved wide
ventilation

State Dispensaries Where ''Budge' Must

State Dispensaries Where s'Budge' Must
Be Purchased Hereafter.
CHARLESTON, S. c., July 1.-The peo-
pie of the Palmetto State at y O'Clock
last night entered upon the new dispen-
sation, and the government takes
charge Of all the whisky business.
From the official returns it appears that
the state will open dispensaries in nine
teen out of thirtv-four counties in the
state. The situation all over South
Carolina is peculiar one. In
Charleston there was a huge whls-
Ky fair all day yesterday. The
air was filed with the tintinnabu-
lation of the auction bells with the cries
of the auctioneer. In dozens of liquor
stores are crowds of American citizens
buying whisky and wine and beer to lay
in stock against the dry spell. In the
fashionable groceries extra forces OF
clerks had been at work day and night
for week or more putting up demi-
johns and kegs Of whisky, brandy, rum.
gin and wines, and a battalion of drays
and delivery wagons have been en-
road depots and to the homes of pur-
chasers. 1t is no eXaggeration to say
that there were not 10000 out of the
10000 homes Of white people in the city
that are not provided with supply Of
liquors to last for six months at least
Two hundred bar-rooms in this city
closed their doors at midnight last
night. Many Of these will be reopened
for restaurants for the serving OF
lunches and soft drinks. 1t is probable
that 100 or more blind tigers will open
their side doors. The governor has al
ready organized secret constabulary
all over the state but refuses to give the
name of the appointees. Altogether
there is promise of lively times in the
months
