A WOMAN'S COURAGE.
She Killed Cobra, Saved Her Husband
and Then tainted.

Women, remarked rather patron
izing young man, possess q certain
courage of endurance, but when it
comes to the facing Of an alarming
danger they weaken and succumb to
nerves"
81 hate to be personal" said a wom-
an, "but 1 once faced what you will
admit was an alarming danger. My
husband, who was stationed in India,
was stricken down by fever. On the day
the crisis was expected the doctor said
that his life hung ON thread, but there
was still chance Of recovery if he
should fall into natural sleep which
remained unbroken for certain length
of time
After hours Of tossing and moaning
l had the joy Of seeing him pass into
slumber, which grew more natural as l
sat, almost holding my breath, across
the room. When hope was becoming
joyful assurance, through the long Win
dow large hooded cobra glided into
the room and made straight for the bed,
raising its head and softly kissing.
For one horrible instant / was para
lyzed, while the snake reared and
swerved about to insinuate itself among
the pillows But it dropped and coil I'd
itself on the floor beside the bed. The
power Of motion returned to me, and I
crept across the room, raised my foot
and ground my heel into the flattened
head with its coldly glittering eyes.
The creature writhed furiously, coiled
itself around my ankle like vice, but
held my ground till the folds relaxed
and 1 knew the snake was dead. The
doctor found me ON the floor in dead
faint when he called. My husband re-
covered rapidly, and treasured as his
dearest possession worn kid slipper"

who will rid me Of this insolent priest?'
Whereupon four loyal knights, who
were doubtless of Scotch extraction,
and who therefore could not take q
joke, thought the king in dead earnest
and actually butchered the misguided
archbishop in a sickening manner before
the altar. This was in ITO.
Henry, who was in France when this
occurred, was thoroughly Mortified and
frightened, no doubt, so much so, in
fact that he agreed to make pilgrim
age barefoot to the tomb of a Beckett,
but even this did not place him upon a
firm footing with the clergy, who pa
raded Becket's assassination ON all oc-
casions and thus strengthened this OPP
position to the king BILL NYE.

Miss Ouint'a Degree.

Miss Katherine Mordant Quint, a
daughter of Rev. A. H. Quint, has re
ceived the degree Of A. M. from Dart
mouth college. She was the first young
woman accepted by the trustees for a
postgraduate course, and her fine schol-
arship, in their opinion, amply justifies
the new departure. Miss CUNTS accept
ance by the trustees was due wholly to
her own exertions and came about as
the result of her petition to President
Tucker of Dartmouth college asking for
the privilege of taking a postgraduate
course. Miss Quint is the first woman
TO be thus honored by this college and
receives it after but one years resident
study. Woman Journal.

The age of chivalry, which yielded
such good material to the poet and ro-
mancer, was no doubt essential to the
growth of civilization, but it must have
been an unhappy period for legitimate

flourish while the entire population
spread itself OYER the bleaching boards

As an INDEPENDENT reporter was
making the rounds this morning, a
prominent citizen and taxpayer Of
Elko met him and complained of the
hoodlum actions of several boys of
Elko Ringing in age from Il to 16
years. The gentleman stated that a

those Of the Christian Endeavor, : to
such an extent that it is becoming
unbearable. These boys in, various
ways, such as tapping on the win
dows, rafting the doors, loud and un ,

feet and many Others to numerous to
mention, attempt TO disturb the meet

taking part in the Christian Endeav:

known, have been requested time and
again to behave themselves, but they
pay no attention whatever to the re-

that severe measures must be inaugu-
rated to give the people the protec:

venszueia Objects to the Refusal to Keep
Railroads Running
New YORK, Feb. "a special to the
World from Chicago says:
The trouble over the English railroad be-
tween Guantana and Barcelona threatens
to bring about serious internatio nal COM
plication. Super intendent White, who
suspended the service. refuses to obey tho
orders Of the minister of public works,
Bournal Sierra, 10 resume, an1 says he
will await Instructions from London.
Tho minister has imposed a fine of
500 a day until trains shall be
run, and this complication has provoked
bitter comments here against EngIishmen
The prsss says that British action regard
ing concessions in weaker countries is al
ways unjust and arrogant, that Great Brit
ain is quick to claim damages and to
enforce them with warships when resist
ance is impossible, and is never willing TO
comply with the law.
The press urges the government to pay
the railroad nothing under the guarantee
which provides that the road must trans.
port 800 tons OF coal from the mines at
Guantana before payment begins. At
the time the railroad ceased operations 800
tons had been moved. The present contract
1t is held, however, demands that it's trans
portation shall be continuous. The action
of the government in imposing the 500
daily fine has given great satisfaction
here. President Crespo has returned to
Caracas and will remain here several days.

shortly after the organization of the
guards, and she says it is as true now
as it was then:
"This country is good enough for
anybody, and I think more Of the
American flag than I do of my life.
I'd be ready to die any time fighting
for the Red, White and Blue. My
mother, to tease me, sings God Save
the Queen. Then we four girls begin
singing America. I have my room at
home decorated with American flags,
and big American flag hangs from
the head of the bed. l like to look at
it the last thing before closing my eyes
at night, and want to see it the first
thing in the morning. My father is q
dyed-in-the-wool Englishman, and I
keep telling him that he ought to have
stayed in England. But would part
from my family any time to fight for
Old Glory. Ny body may be English,
but my soul is American"

enough to please the biggest jingo that
ever lived.

DETECTIVES PUZZLED
Over the Murder and Bebeading of cincln.
natl Woman


natl Woman
CINCINNATI, o., Feb. "a hundred diff
ferent clews 10 the murder and beheadng
of woman near TT. Thomas on Thursday
night are floating today. Many of them
have been traced to worthless origin. The
sheriff of Campbell county, Kentucky, and
all the detectives on both sides of the river
are working on the case. Not single ar
rest has been made and not single sus-
picion has settled upon any man as the per-
petrator, nor has any thread been dis
covered likely to lead to the Identification
of the woman. All the ponds, as we'll as
the reservoir, have been dragged. The
water is going out of the reservoir as it has
been for 25 hours. 1t will be we'll towards
noon tomorrow before it will be empty.
Then search in the mud for the head can
be made. Meantime. rumor is busy on all
the streets tonight. One story generally
Gil culated is that the head has been found
and that the murderer, Fort Thomas
soldier, has committed suicide.
Investigation at frat hand has shown
this to be wholly false. There is theory
on which there is a general agreement and
that is that the woman was murdered in
an attempt to take either money or papers
from her person. This opinion is justified
by the signs of a struggle and the torn con-
diIion of the woman's clothing.
