Peter Backed Out.

A New Orleans letter to the Philadel-
phia Press contains an account of q
singular adventure that befell Louis
lana boy, Peter Sykes by name, who
drives milk cart for his father. He
was on the road about sunrise, pretty
dozy and perhaps sleeping little, when
sudden jolt shook him wide awake.
Instantly he became aware Of hor-
rible thing. By some unaccountable
means big rattlesnake had found its
way into the cart, and was wrapped
about the neck of one Of the large milk
cans. The fellow looked as if he were
all ready to strike. That was an awful
moment for Peter.
The cart was tight little box Of a
place. The two cans filled up the front,
and the drivers seat was we'll in the
rear. A covering Of black oilcloth shut
the boy in. There was a narrow door
space ON either side, to be sure, but as
it happened Peter had fastened down
both the flaps to keep out the morning
chill.
It would not do to stop the cart, lest
the sudden jar should hasten the snakes s
movements. A flash Of thought, like an
inspiration. came to the boy. With his
eye still fixed on the reptile. he drew
his knife from his pocket and whipped
the blade across the tight oilcloth be-
hind him, making wide cash. Then
shouting Whoa" to the horse, he let
go the reins and dropped headforemost
out of the cart.
Luckily the horse stopped, and po-
liceman who happened along at the mo-
ment helped Peter to kill the snake.
According to the story, the fellow meas
ured feet and carried ten rattles.

The day finally arrived, and early IN

in discovering that Johannes Sunday

were at one informed of the fact, and
Johannes was followed at a distance by
one of the boys. Soon Fla was seen wad-
ding through the village street, also
carrying a bundle, and the villagers
were now sure that something was about
to happen. Fla was followed, and was
seen to enter the forest. Here she met
Johannes, and both were busy taking off
their everyday dress when, with hor-
rible yell, the entire population Of the
village was seen approaching. "Look
out for the wolvesp they cried. "They
are biting everybody" Fla and Jo-
hannes did not stand on ceremony. In
his flannel underwear, leaving his Sum-

The minister was not slow to see the

A GREAT ORGANIZATION.

Whether 1t is true or not, as Christian
Endeavorer puts it. ave are guided by the
hand of Providence" the fact remains
that the world gives no account OF such
growth of religious organization as the
Christian Endeavorers. Sixteen years ago
it had no existence. To-day it has more
than 10000 local societies. it's total mem
bership is above 5000, 900 and it has got
foothold In nearly every country in the
world. 1t is doubtful if the Christian
church made as much substantial progress
iG half-dozen generations as this organ
ization has in less than sixteen years. No
doubt its great strength lies in its indie.
pendence OF the churches-that is. il is
non-sectarian. "For Christ and the
church" is its motto, but "church" means
place to worship God. lnfdels may
scott at the purpose and efforts of the En-
deavorers, but counting religion out of the
question, no sensible person will deny
that this great organization of young
people is doing mighty work in advanc-
ing civilization to higher and better levels

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

"lts no country for a decent man to livein,
and poor man has 40 business going there,
but think we have a good thing down in So
nora,' said Bolton Rogers yesterday as he re-
cIlned among lot of sofa pillows on luxuri-
GUS divan in his apartments at the Baldwin.
His coat was off, and the leisurely manner in
which he pulled at fragrant Havana enpha-
sized the impression that he sincerely believes
his recently acquired mining property in Mex
leo is good thing.
Mr.. Rogers was born in San Francisco but
Tor the last twenty years has lived in Seattle.
where he has served in every department OF
the city police force. Several years ago he was
chief OF the detective bureau, and in 1891 he
became Chief of Police. position from which
he has only recently retired, but not from old
age, for he is apparently little more than
thirty years old.
This property OF ours, !" resumed Mr.. Rogers,
lis about seventy miles below the interna-
tionsl line. 1t is placer region, and we have
water enough in sight-only a little stream,
outfits river in that region, for il runs all
the year round. There's no hoodoo there. Men
that know nothing about mining haven't
swarmed into the place, expecting to shovel
up pay dirt most anywhere.
"We're satisfied. So far we've just been tap
ping here and there in the gravel to see what
We have. Consequently things are i'll posi-
ton where there isn't much definite informa-
ton. My partner Is an old miner; lived in
Tombstone twenty years.
There's hoodoo at that place. It's this
way: You and l and some other fellow own
three big mines that are full of water. You
won't pump out, because that will drain the
other two mines, ana l won't pump because it
viii save you that much. So we sit and none
of Us will do anything"
"The outlook for raisins is bright and much
better than it was a year ago." said Lee L.
Gray yesterday at the Occidental. Mr.. Gray is
extensively interested in the raisin industry
81 Fresno, but has come TO town on business
connected with the equipment OF the Fruit
growers Warehouse Company, which he has
recently organized.
"The idea." he explained, "is to have a large
warehouse where the producers can store their
fruit, borrow money on 1t at 8 per cent and
wait for a decent price. The fundamental
principle is TO stop consignment. Before, the
producer had to ship his crop at once and get
what 1T would bring when the consi gnment
reached the Eastern markets. Now this ware
until the producers can get living price for
them. The scheme has spread like wildhre
and the growers are taking hold of the idea.
"The raisin crop is fully 40 per cent short
this ar, but the outlook for prices is good.
Then that new winery that is going up near
Fresno will also shorten the raisin crop. II
will take large part OF the second crop OF
muscats. That viii all tend TO raise prices. So
If the iobbers East have the dough we will
get it,
