Mrs. Joseph Hood, accompanied by her

wildly for nearly a mile. Mrs Hood
dropped the reins ana chung to her

The state of Texas has long beer

While passing through "A pasture near
Greenyille the other day two negroes
saw a two-year-old steer lying down as
If dead. When they approached the
PROSTATE beast the men were surprised
TO find that two snakes were wound
about the animals neck so tightly as
TO almost shut off the air, and the steer

these weapons, ana after considerable
trouble succeeded in unwinding them
from the neck of the steer, which soon
regained its strength and scampered
away, none the worse for its unusual
and unpleasant experience.
The snakes were impaled on the tines
of the pitchforks and taken TO the
house. There they We're placed in a box
in which they were conveyed to Green

been compelled to wear the reptiles as
a neCktie.
T~heserpents were five or six feet long
and we're notified with dark brown on
the back and red splotches along their
sides. They were of a species unknown
TO most Texans who saw them, al
though some declared that they were
chicken snakes.
The snakes attracted much atten-
tion while they were on exhibition, and
there was much speculation as to how
they succeeded in cntwining themselves
around the steers neck and many
guesses as to what their purpose was.
There seems to be no doubt that but
for the timely interference of the ne
groes the steer would have been killed,
AS he was almost dead when discover
ed, and was so exhausted that he was
making no effort to free himself from
their coils. TIE snakes were powerful
constructors, and it required the tx
crcise of much strength to tear them
loose from their victim.
And this Is why cattle-raisers in
Texas think their steers need protec,

will be effective. Cattle men say tina
they have enough to contend with with

"AiN'h w
myers unsa"Ory career. A more gen
orally offensive and blatant man than
Schweninger probably does not live in
Germany. He was found guilty. long
before Bismarck knew him. of an
atrocious act in a public place. His
offence was against the widow OF his
best friend: and it was committed at
the grave to which she had gone with
flowers. His character, as well as his
reputation, was therefore a matter of
record when Bismarck went to- him to
have his increasing weight reduced.
Schwoningcr reduced it. Just how
SchWeningcr induced Bismarck to for
get the past has not been made public;
at all events. he did whcedle him into
forgetting or fOrgiying II and into
making him. the dcspised and re-
preached Schweninger. a regular pro-
fcssor in Berlin University.
The announcement of SChweninger's
appointment was the signal for a
fierce onslaught by the faculty and the
Berlin press on both Bismarck and his
protege. The professors protested
against being forced TO associate with
a man of Schweninger's character.
They interested Parliament in their
case against the intruder. The Prus-
sian Minister of Public instruction was
asked in Parliament to explain how a
man, convicted of an atrocious act in
a public place. as Schweninger had
been, could be honored with a place
among the honorable men of the Bcr-
lin faculty; also. how it was possible
that a man OF such character could be
elevated to a place of influence over the
German youth.
A person reading, eve today. the
parliamentary record of this interpret
lation and the answer, Is impressed
with the apologize humility. almost
shame, which was evident in Herr Won
Gossler's explanation. II was all true,
he said. Schweninger had done the dis
graceful thing charged; the record of
his disgrace was to be found in Mu-
nich's criminal court; but he had re-
deemed himself by curing Bismarck of
fairness. For this great service his other
shortcomings should be overlooked.
So SchweninEer's appointment was
maintained, despite the cutlery of pro-
~fessors. editors and deputies, and he
was forced upon the Berlin faculty TO
be the associate Of men like Mommscn
and Helmholt2, and Treitschke and
Scmollcr. 1t is doubtful IL Schwen-
niger ever got any satisfaction out OF
the storming and capture Of the pro
f~essor's chair. He was in the faculty
TO be sure. and Bismarck stood behind
him to prevent his being pushed out
yet the faculty did not turn out
to be all Schweningcr had hoped
to find il. Whichever way he
turned he faced a social boy
colt. He called on professor after pro.
~fessor, as is customary with IA new
member of a German university fac
r',y, and was recci ted by each Will
