some snakes.

There are many desirable features about
lite in Eastern Oregon, and some that are
not desirable. Not the least among these
might be mentioned the prevalence Of SER
pents-not imaginary but real live crawl
ers-in some localities, and some Of these
belong to the poisonous class commonly
known as rattlesnakes. Apropos Of this we
were informed by a person who made Hood
River visit yesterday that girl only IA
years of age killed ten that day with club.
he says they were summing themselves in
the rocks when the girl came upon them
unawares and killed the number stated.
We forgot to inquire whether any escaped.
but presume some did. The story sounds
rather ''snakY," but our informant is a very
reliable person, and no doubt can prove the
truth of his statement.

FIowerToss LiveS.

A pathetic incident occurred in the
waits school in Pittsburgh q few
weeks ago. One of the teachers
brought beautiful red rose to school,
which, holding up before the scholars,
she asked: "Now children, how many
Of you know what this is?" Nearly
every little ono shook his head,
to indicate ignorance. One small
boy and couple Of little girls
piped out, with great Importance:
''Its a posie, please. ma'am."
But no one had ever heard of a rose.
Most Of the children had never seen
one before. The teacher put it in a
glass of water to preserve it, and when
school was dismissed each child was
rendered supremely blissful by the
gift of a tiny pedal. AS they fled out
of the door, each little waif clutched
his treasure tightly in his small hand,
while he murmured softly to himself
the name: "Pitty wose, pity wose"

Although French law prohibits
women from going about disguised in
mems clothes. except when they have
obtained permission from the prefect
of police, curiously enough. there is nc
legal obstacle to men parading the
streets in women's clothes. This fact
has just been brought to light by the
Paris courts, which have acquitted
man named Florentin Gosreider, who
was charged with wearing an unau.
