Charmed by a Snake.

Snakes travel good deal on their
reputation. They scare birds and small
animals SO they become helpless. We all
know this to be fact. And then when
they get in tight place with a man
they try to run bluff on him. A law
yer in our town once met rattlesnake
down in the Ozarks and began to expert
ment, or rather to let the snake expert
ment, to see if there was anything in
the snake charming theory. He said
that the snakes eyes got brighter and
brighter, and his scales became glisten-
ing and his body seemed to swell up a
little thicker, and the whole outfit be-
came so engrossing that he finally ran
away from the snake in dead scare
and didn't get over it for good while
after. He told me that it was his belief
that if he had kept company with that
snake much longer he would have lost
his wits. Forest and Stream.

IHe ORIGIN oE MAN.
Ancient Beliefs That Trees Were the An
cestors of the Human Race.


The descent Of the human race from
some particular species of tree is one Of
the oldest myths that can be found rum
ming through the folk stories Of every
nation. In Virgil we find reference
to the race of "men who took their birth
from trunks of trees" and among some
Of the early commentators on that
statement we even find speoulations as
to the particular species of tree from
which the race sprung. The very earliest
Egyptians as well as those who lived
under later dynasties had legend Of
the ''tree of life," and many of the
leading investigators, both ancient and
modern, have expressed the opinion
that from Egypt came the Biblical story
of the stree of knowledge Of good and
evil" which graced the original garden
made by the All Wise for our first par
ents.
Professor Thistelton (see his "Folk
Lore of Plants') believes that the Scrip
tural narrative cited is a survival of the
belief in the "tree descent of man, I"
and that the abiding faith Of mankind
in the tradition again crops out in Rev
elation, where the stree Of life''
plays as important part as that Of the
famous tree mentioned in the first book
of the Bible. The natives of Madagascar
have tradition which is believed and
perpetuated among them to the effect
that the first man was born alive from
tree, and that he Immediately set
about making himself "a helpmeet, +"
fashioning her from knotted limb by
the aid of mussel shell carving knife.
Marsden's History Of Sumatra" tells
us that the people Of the Philippine is
lands also have the tree descent legend
among them, and King, in his "Life
Among the Bushmen Of Australia, u
says that the people there habitually
live among the trees, because ''they are
taught from infancy that their early
ancestors were trees endowed with the
faculty Of speaking and moving about
from place to place. "-St Louis Re-

ne WAS A DAISY.
Bat ~ Reporter He Made an Awful Blum
der on n Big Scoop.


"As funny thing as ever knew Of
In the newspaper business, ]" said the re-
formed reporter, twas the way Sandy
Mclean gave the Chicago Tribune
scoop. Now, Sandy, to my way of think
ing, is the best reporter in Chicago. He
was q lawyer once, and mighty good
one, but he saw that the law had no
such opportunities as the newspaper
business, and he came to Chicago from
the Iowa town where he was practicing
and began work on one of the big
dailies. He hadn't been there week be-
fore the managing editor realized that
he had star, and Sandy was given ev-
cry opportunity to make himself name.
He made it too He was put ON big
story after big story and beat every 9TH
er reporter in the city. After time he
got to The Tribune and kept up his bril-
liant work. He was with The Tribune
for long time. The Herald and other
papers wanted him, but Sandy stuck to
The Tribune. He got a bit free and gay,
but the old man put up with him. FL
nally patience ceased to be virtue, and
one day Sandy drifted into the office
only to be told that they thought they
might be able to get out paper without
him If they hustled.
''He went out whistling gayly and
walked over to The Herald Office. He
told them The Tribune people had Just
fred him and asked for job. The Her.
aid was too glad to get him. They snap.
ped him up right away. The next day
Sandy reported for an assignment The
city editor Of The Herald put him on a
big story he had been keeping on the
ice for awhile and told Sandy that it
was exclusive.
"Sandy went out and got the facts.
He found that he was the first and only
newspaper man who knew anything
about the tale, and it was corker. He
started back to the office to write it up.
He had been so used to going to The
| Tribune Office that he mechanically got
off the car there and walked up into the
local room. He sat down at his old desk,
wrote the story and handed it to The city
| editor. The city editor saw that the
story was sensational, put scare head
on it and ran it on the first page. The
Tribune was the only paper that had it,
and Sandy did not wake up to what he
had done until he had got note from
The Herald city editor next morning
calling him all sorts of names and dis
charging him. He got back on The
Tribune, though, and he's there yet. y

SIGNING THE DECLARATION.
Flies Pestered the Fathers of the Republic
as They Created It.

r
as They Created It.
Jefferson was fond of telling q story
which illustrates in forcible manner
the Importance that absurdly insignifi-
can't matters may sometimes assume.
When the deliberative body that gave
the world the Declaration Of Independ-
ence was in session, It's proceedings
were conducted in hall close to which
was situated livery stable. The
weather was warm, and from the stable
came swarms of flies that lighted on the
legs of the honorable members, and Bit
ing through the thin silk stockings then
in fashion gave infinite annoyance. It
was no uncommon sight, said jefferson,
to see a member making speech with
large handkerchief in hand and paus-
ing at every moment to thrash the flies
from his thinly protected calves.
The opinion of the body was not
unanimous in favor Of the document,
and, under other circumstances, discus
sion might have been protracted for
days, il not weeks, but the flies were
intolerable. Efforts were made to find
duOblcI AuA1, lEco lIOlA tll6 ptouS, Uub III
vain. AS the weather became warmer
the flies grew worse, and the Tapping Of
handkerchiefs was heard all over the
hall as an accompaniment to the voices
of the speakers.
In despair at last some one suggested
that matters be hurried, so that the
body might adjourn and get away from
the flies. There were q few mild pro-
tests, but no one needed them, the i'm
mortal declaration was hurriedly copied,
and, with handkerchiefs in hand fight
ing flies as they came, the members
hastened up to the table to sign the au-
then.ic copy and leave the flies in the
lurch.
Had it not been for the livery stable
and its inmates there is no telling when
the document would have been com.
pleted, but it certainly would not have
been signed on the Fourth. -Philadel.

FINISHED POETRY
Patient Labor as Much as Fine Frenzy .
Factor In Its Production.

Patient Labor as Much as Fine Frenzy .
Factor In Its Production.
There are yet some persons left who
fancy that poetry is the product Of a
fine frenzy; that the poet genius awakes
from a sublimated cataleptic trance to
fill page after page with effortless
beatitudes. "A number of manuscript
sheets Of Longfellow's Excelsior, -
which may be found in Harvard, should
not only explode this theory, but give
hope to many a discouraged amateur.
As Longfellow first constructed the first
verse Of this poem it ran:
The shades of night were falling fast
AS through an Alpine village passed
A youth who, as the peasants sung,
Responded In an unknown tongue,
Excelsior.
This was manifestly weak, as the
only obvious reason why the Alpine
peasants sung was that they might af-
ford rhyme for the youth S response
in an unknown tongue. A second trial
at the verse, however, not only failed to
improve it, but arranged it in such
form that it is difficult to believe Long
fellow guilty of the fault. The last two
lines of the verse were made to read:
A youth who bore pearl of price,
A banner with the strange device.
There are not many, even among the
magazine poets Of today, who would
consent to refer to banner as "a pearl
of price" But the poet had by this time
three lines to his liking, and the substi-
tuition of "a youth who bore mid snow
and ice" completed the verse as 1t has
been read and spoken throughout the
length and breadth of the land, all of
which goes to show that the genius Of
the poet is in the conception, and that
the production Of the poem. being quite
another matter, lies solely in the direc-
tion of patient labor. Chicago Herald.

INCREASE IN CRIME,

Minnesota's Prison Population Increased
Rapidly the Past Quarter.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 1.-THE board of cor
rections and charities has completed
the quarterly statement of the popula-
ton of state institutions. Some inter-
esting figures appear in this connec-
ton. The number of insane patients
in the state hospital is now 2,6O7. Two
years ago it was estimated that the
number, Oct. 81, 1894, would be 2,647:
should the patients in the hospital con-
tinue to increase for the next two years
at the same rate as the past two years
(7.s per cent per year), we shall have,
Oct. 81, 1895, 2,795; Oct. 81, 1896, 1896
patients; Oct. 81, 1897, 2,312. The in
crease in the number of convicts, ex-
Guiding United States prisoners from
other states, was 462, Oct. 81, 1893, and
531 Oct. 81, 1894, an increase of 10 per
cent, whereas the increase for several
years previous had not been more than
or per cent yearly. This increase,
Secretary Hart thinks, is partly attrib-
utable to the hard times.

created vacancy in the Chippewa In.
dian commission. Campbell was chair
man of this commission, which has

will not recommend filing the vacancy,
because the work Of the commission
has not succeeded in accomplishing the
result, for which it was appointed. Mr..
Campbell was in Washington at the
time of his appointment as marshal, re-
ceiving instructions in his duties as
chairman Of the Indian commission,
and had been informed by Secretary
Smith that in case results did not speed.

the commission would probably be
abandoned. The failure has been in
not getting the Indians to take their

CHIEFS OF DIVISIONS.

Said Their Positions Will Soon Be Put in

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE intima-

sion in announcing the recent extern
sions in the civil service, by the presi-
dent, that further extensions were to
be early made has been discussed in
the departments and among officials
who know, and it is said the next ex-
tension will include chiefs of divisions
n the various departments, which
would be very important move. The
salaries paid to these officers are $4,000
each. They have always been held as
political plums for the smaller poll
ticians who seek Office in Washington,
aud it is claimed that oftentimes they
are appointed without any fitness
whatever for the positions they
hold. In many cases the assistant
chiefs do all the business of division
during an entire administration. Some
times it has been suggested that these
assistants be promoted, but they gener-
ally decline because they fear a new
administration might dispense with
them, and tney would be out of posi-
ton. II tn civil service system should
be extended to chiefs of divisions, it
will certainly be Of great Importance to
the service and accomplish what the
commission has long contended for.

Nearly Half the Ballots Cast in Denver

DENVER, Nov. lit is safe to say
that not less than half the votes cast in
this city were those of women. Out of
total registration of 10000 in Arapa-
hoe county fully $4,000 were women.
and as about half OF the men on the
books were registered last year, and
many Of them have left the city, while
the female registration is new, it is
likely that ree-sevenths of the legal
voters are women. The polls opened at
2 o'clock, and at that time scores of
women were in line at every precinct.

the city directed by committee women,
