DOES NOTTALk OF SNAKES SOW.
Tim Murphy Had an Experience He Will

vile on horseback. Tim Murphy, an
1rishman. was Il lieutenant of the
Atlanta police force. He varied to
60 too and we consented. On our way
to Clarksville, through the mountain
Gus sections of the State, we killed two
large rattle-snakes. Murphy was
amazed and frightened. He wanted to
know if snakes were plentiful and We
told him that they were. We told him
that at Carksvile they had often been
found in the rooms of guests at the
holrI. Tim hated TO turn back and 50
went on.
I'VE knew that at Clarksville a
saloon keeper had a stunned bull snake.
and we concOcted a plan to make Tim
wish he had never left Atlanta. We
got to the Old-fashioned hotel all
rghl. We we're put in u big room
with four beds in it. We drank good
d' a and Tim was in excellent spirits.
Tim pulled off everything but his
shirt He lay down, face foremost,
across the bed. Then tied a string
around the neck Of the snake, put a
fish hook at the other end of the line
and cautiously hitched the hook to
Tim shirt.
The next time he turned around he
got "a glimpse of the snake. Holy
schmokel he yelled. Look and
then he made a da0h for the window.
As he jumped out of the window the
t~h-hook pricked him in the back.
He uttered an awful yell, said he had
been bitten and went flying through
the sandy streets of the town, dressed
in Congo style. We followed and
tried to catch him. At every step he
swore he had been bitten and that he
would die. We overhauled him after
the whole town had been aroused.
We took him back to the hotel and
filled him with whiskey, telling him
that was the only cure for a snake bite.
The next morning he went to Atlanta
and took a course under physician
for snake bites. For years after that
Tim would brag about killing twenty
snakes at one time and of having bee n
bitten by one of them. He did not
learn Of the trick for five years and
then he threatened to take my life.

commonly supposed" remarked a
physician. From my own observation
and from what l can learn | should
judge that the bruises and slight
sprans of hands, arms and legs sus-
tanned by passengers in 4 year figure up
in the thousands. OF course in nine
tcnths of the cases the Victims are who'll
ly to blame. The injured person is fully
aware of this. and nurses his hruIsc or
Sprain and nothing is said of it. Even
in many instances where the employ
ers are partly to blame the victims will
overlook the carclcssness of the COM
pany's servants and will not commune
cate the fact to the Office. Once In
awhile the railway company will pav

THE BRAIN.
NourishCd More Than Other Organs,
Hence Does Not Grow Old.

There are two parts OF th' human or
ganism. which. if Wisely used. large
ly escape ;he decay of old age. These
two are the brain and the heart. Per-
sons who think often wonder why
brain-WOrNtrs statesmen anI
others should continue to work with
almost unimpairrd activity and energy
up to q period when most of the organs
and functions Of the body are in con-
dition of advanced decay.
The normal brain remains vigorous
to the last. because its nutrition is es-
pecially provided for. About middle life,
or little later. the general arteries OF
the body begin to lose their elasticity.
and to weaken SLOWLY but surely.
They become. therefore. much less
efficient carriers of the nutrient blood
of the capillary areas. But this is not
the case with the internal carotids,
which supply the capillary areas of thu
brain. On the contrary, these large YES.
sells continue to retain their elasticity,
so that the blood pressure remains
higher than within the capillary area
of any other organ of the body. The
blood paths of the brain being thus
kept open, the brain tissue is better
nourishcd than the other tissues of the
body.
