Ranchman Has Narrow Escape from
Being Bitten by an Angry Reptile.
San Francisco Examiner: S. P. Pax
ton, of Ukiah, had an engagement with
huge rattlesnake recently, from the
effects OF which he is not as yet out of
danger. Paxton was on his way to a
ranch which he owns about five miles
from this city. Always on the watch
for something to add to his already
large collection of nests, birds and ami
mails, he discovered what he supposed
to be a huge birds nest. Dismount-
ing, he crawled on his hands and
knees through the chapparal, and
was about to reach for the supposed
nest when the thing, giving no warn
lag but a hiss, struck at Mr. Paxton,
but fell short. Paxton turned and made
his way out of the chapparal as fast as
possible, with the snake after him. On
emerging from the chapparal Paxton
started on a run for his horse. secured
his rifle and shot the snake. 1t was a
long time before the gentleman could
calm himself so that he could take
measurements. The snake was five
feet four inches in length. and was as
large as a mans leg. 1t had eighteen
rattlers and 4 button. and is the larg-
est that has been killed in the valley
Considering that Mr.. Paxton has only
one arm to battle with. it is marvellous
that he escaped as well as he did. He
Is still quite Frustrated. and will be
more careful in the future

MANS Duty TO HIS MIND.

In spite Of the rain a well-flied house
greeted Rev. Z. b. Leavitt al the Unitarian
church last Sunday evening. when he gave
the second of his plain talks" on Chris
tiAn citizenship. His theme was a man :
duty 10 his mind" Mr.. Leavitt said in
substance: The reason We owe so much TO
the training Of the body and the mind is
because nothing to do is the parent Of all
vice The training of the mind is in an
uncommon degree defence against tempt
ations. The great problem of teacher and
preacher and reformer is just TO open our
eyes TO see and 10 teach US to observe; Cor
what one sees depends not at all on what
he looks al, but upon what he has been
trained TO see II the mind is not exercis-
edAnd trained by something besides news
papers and novels it becomes weak and
flAbby like the body fed upon Cruel. Every
man must educate himself, no matter
whether he goes 20 college for this educa-
ton, or seeks it in the wider field outside.
Education means ito bring out If there
is nothing 70 be brought out no amount OF
education avails anything Il IS a splendid
thing 10 Try to educate oneself, but very
poor thing 10 Try 10 be educated. The
preacher urged the young men not 70 join
the modern tribe of the Pooh, PoOhs,
who make Il their PRIDE 10 sneer al all en-
thusiAsm, but TO be earnest, TO have con
yictions, to make up their minds which
way the work Of God leads them. For.
tunes 60 up and down, kings and empires
change, but these men Of convictions, Of
trained minds, remain kings OF the brain
of the heart, of the soul-scientists, philos-
ophers, poets" These men are not affected
by any panics, by money market, by ques
tions of over supply. Here are worlds
to which you can retire unaffected by tbs
ups and downs Of common humanity. Their
are no finer minds on earth than you car
| freely associate with. They are Away
ready TO speak at your wish, or TO be silen
if you are tired. II you cultivate the in
/ tellectuAl side OF your nature You hay,

The third of these ''plain talks will b,
| given next Sunday evening, when th'
| theme will be "A mans duty to the state
| politics and patriotism"
