No Training Of Snakes.

One cannot train or teach q snake to do
anything whatever. Their brain power is
so limited that the marvel Is how they
have ever managed to survive in the great
competition, especially when one finds that
they are still on tho descending curve" of
evolution. Most Of them can be tanned to
some extent by constant human compan-
ionship and judicious handling (some spe-
oies very much more readily than others).
When they have learned to trust, to appre-
ciate the fact that there is no necessity for
self defense, then they may be trusted, a
principle which applies to most animals,
and there the scope and possibility Of their
education comes to an end.
After that the most that q skillful ex-
hibitor can do with them Is to adapt him
self and his actions to their movements,
which by familiarity he can pretty nearly
anticipate, SO that these may appear pur-
posive and Intelligent. He may affect to
listen to the serpent's counsels, or receive
it's kiss on his lips If its head inclines in
an upward direction, or to lure it from one
hand to the other, or to guide it to some
given spot, should it by chance glide hori.
zontally or downward, just as the Indian
snake charmer takes deceptive advantage
of the natural defiant attitude Of the we'll
nigh uctalnable cobra da capello. -Cham.

THE STOCKBROkER.
He IL Americas Single Contribution to the
Ca1lings of the World.

He IL Americas Single Contribution to the
Callings of the World.
Our single and signal contribution to
the callings of the world has been the
apotheosis of stockbroker. For the last
25 years the well to do father and mother
and their sons in our large cities have been
under tho spell of a craze for the brokerage
business. The consciousness that the re-
finements Of modern living cannot ade-
quately be supplied in large city to a
family whose income does not approx
mate $40, 900 year is oogent argument
In favor Of trying to grow rich rapidly,
and both the promising young man and
the general utility man welcomed the new
calling with open arms. "a .<s Il ~
Impellod by the notion that here was q
vocation which required no special knowl-
edge or attachments and very little cap
ital, which was pleasant, gentlemanly and
not unduly combining and which promised
large returns almost in tho twinkling of
an eye, hundreds and thousands of young
men became brokers, chiefly stockbro-
kers, but also cotton brokers, note brokers,
real estate brokers, insurance brokers and
brokers in nearly everything.
The field was undoubtedly rich one
for those who first entered it. There was
q need for the broker, and he was speedily
recognized as q valuable addition to the
machinery Of trade. Many huge fortunes
were made, and we have learned to asso.
ciate tho word broker with the possession
of large means, an imposing house on q
fashionable street and diverse docked and
stylish horses. There are stockholders in
all the great capitals of the world, but
nowhere has the vocation swallowed up
the sons Of the best people to the extent
years. And yet, apart from the opportuni-
ty it affords to grow rich rapidly, what
one good reason Is there why promising
young man should decide tt, buy and sell
stocks for living9-Robert Grant in

THE WESTERN FLATBoATMEN.

Not Always Deserving the Reputation That
Was Given Them.
General veile, in defending Abraham
Lincoln from the often published state.
mont that he was q fatboaSman In his
young days, seems buriened with the ter.
rible fact, as he'will have 1t, that those
bO.tmcn were of low grade as to morals,
dr,,nkards, etc. The general has no right,
in truth, to make those statements es to
tho character of the fatboatnen Of the
early days of the river settlements. 1t is
gross libel upon the general character OF
tho early settler. There were drunkards
among tho carly settlers the Same as now,
but they were not among the boatncn, for
tho very good reason that they could not
be relied on in time Of need In case Ut
storms, wind or any other emergency.
- The very reverse of the character which
General Veilo would give to those boat
men was the fact Many prominent farm.
ers would send their own produce, several
uniting to fill boat, or merchants and
other men would buy produce, fill u boat
end send it down the river in sober hands.
Christians Of all grades, even to tho
preacher, operated flatboats. One preach
or, remember, ran those boats even MS
long as Lincoln is said to have run on ono
and raised family Of boys who nearly all
did the same running the most OF their
lives, while many such boatmen rose from
that humble calling to be steamboatmen
even to captaincies. The late Captain
David, who recently died in Madison, had
his start on datboat more than so years
ago. This little story about ono of the
best citizens whom Vevay ever had may
show just how near "drunkard" got to
being a fatboatman. George G. Knox
was, first Of all, Methodist and tenn
perance man, and at first wool carder,
then q steam flour miller, and lastly q
1atboatman, at least 80 far as loading q
boat at the Vevay wharf He had no pa
thence with q drunkard, but accidentally got
hold of follow to help him load his boat
who soon developed the whisky In him SO
strongly as to cause tho good man to pull
of his coat, throw it on the ground and
say to it, "Lie there, Methodist, until I
thrash the whisky out Of this fellow"
And as ho was large and stout he SO wal.
loped the fellow as to sober him, and he
returned to work. There Is the story Of
old Heathcote Picket-of his fatboating
experience before any steamboat aoated
on the western waters. heard him relate
it in my very early youth, and he lived to
be over 100 years old. He made 16 trips
on flatboats to New Orleans and walked
back every time through tho Indians
country and was always treated kindly by
them. journal.

white rhinocoros once threw the hunte,
and his horse clean into the air. Mr.. Os'
wells adventure is thus described in The
Youths Companion:
On his way back to camp one evening
he saw long horned white rhinoceros
standing close to the path. Dismounting
from his horse, a fearless and fast animal,
he fired. The shot was too high, and the
wounded beast ran of. The hunter jumped
into the saddle and passing the rhinoceros
pulled up and fred the second barrel a.
the beast went by. It stopped short and
began walking toward the horse and his
rider.
The hunter sat still, 50 unexpected was
the movement, thinking tho beast was IN
its "flurry" and would fall dead. The
horse was as much surprised as his rider
and did not instantly answer the rein. The
hesitation cost him his life, for when he
turned his head round thick bush was
against his chest and prevented him from
getting out Of the way of the beast.
The rhinoceros, still walking, drove his
horn In under the horses flank and fairly
threw both him and his rider into the air.
As the horse turned over Oswen rolled of
and fell under the stirrup iron, which
scalped his head for four inches In length
and breadth.
Scrambling to his knees, Oswel saw
the horn of the rhinoceros actually within
the bend Of his leg. But the animal way
cred, and with the energy of self preserva-
ton the hunter sprang to his feet, intend
ing to run. He tottered, tripped and fell
to the ground within foot Of the animal
which passed without touching him. A
native rode up with another gun, and o.
we'll pulled him from his pony, mounted,
overlook the rhinoceros and killed him.
The horse died from his wound.
On another occasion Oswell's dogs had
brought q lioness to bay, but the thickness
Of the bush prevented him from seeing
her, though he stood up in his stirrups.
Suddenly roar on the horse's right quar-
ter caused him to turn his head. The
loness was clearing patch Of brush not
20 yards of. Jamming the spurs In, the
hunter tried to gallop off, but the noness
was too close. At the third bound she sat
up behind him. IT &
Having jumped short, she failed to get
hold with her mouth, but drove her front
claws well into the horses quarters and
hind foot underneath him and SO chung.
The horse, maddened by fright and pain,
became unmanagcable and ran under a
projecting bough, which swept the rider
from the saddle against the lioness, and
together they rolled to the ground.
The rider was stunned by striking his
head against q stump. The dogs came SO
close to the lioness that she, flustered at
being swept, from the horses back, turned
to fight with them and took no notice of
the PROSTATE man. When he came to him.
self, he saw indistinctly tho combatants,
fired and wounded dog. The lioness
escaped.

THE GROSSMAN CASE.
More Victims Of his Smooth Work
Looming up.

Grossman the Pine Nut operator,
who was arrested for defrauding A
Livingston by the sale of Pine Nut
mining claim he did not own. was ar
raigned in the Justice Court yester-
dav, and having no attorney asked
them to secure one.
1t appears that he sold Livingston
an eighth interest in piece Of ground
last February and gave deed. but
subsequently admitted that the ground
belonged to Mr. Schulz and he had to
do location work on it before it be-
came his. Livingston demanded the
return of his money, 1925, as seeing
him driving about and spending
money freely, concluded that he was
amply able to refund. Grossman fl
nally jumped the town, but was over
hauled at Reno and brought back by
Doc Benton.
1t appears that Grossman has sold
the same piece Of ground to other
people. Among his reported victims
are: Gen. Marlett, 5000 Homer Viii
son, $500; Joe Kasper, Johnny Mey-
ers, Jake Klien and the tailor in Abe
COINS, were also caught for various
amounts The case comes up at 10
