DEATH IN THE! SERPENT TREE. The Terrible Agent Of: Death En-
 pieyed by the Savages ef Mada.
 gaScar.

Far Tn the interior of Madagascar
 dwells a remnant of the tribe of
 the Mkodes, 8 diminutive race of
 primitive people. These ab9r-
 igines never exceed foug feet eight inches in height, always go:perfect-
 ly naked, and have no other relig- ion than the worship of the serpent tree. Near where the Mkodes live in caverns, the serpent tree, hidden in what appears to. be impenetrable: forest, awaits it's victims. When these superstitious little people wish to banish some evil or court some favor they assemble here, dancing and singing around theiE verdant object of worship
 The trunk of the tree resembles 8 pineapple in shape, is about eight feet high, black and hard as iron.
 From the top of the cone eight
 leaves hang to the ground. These are about twelve feet long, very
 thick and end in sharp points.
 Stout thorns cover the inner side.
 The top of the cone is white, round, and from afar, looks like a small
 dinner plate turned down on a
 larger one. This larger ''plate" contains a clear, viscous liquid,
 known to possess exceedingly
 intoxicating and soporifc proper ties. Just below it extend six greer and hairy shoots about eight feet long and sharp pointed
 Above these, from between the two
 "plates," six white plume-like tendrils rise vertically about six feet. They are in constant motion, shooting and twisting around with
 bewildering rapidity. The faint, hissing noise thereby produced strengthens the illusion that these tendrlls are snakes performing a hideous dance.
 Wilder and wilder grew the natives around the tree; wilder and wilder sounds the chant. Finally the savages with rush surround one of the females, and at the point of their wicked javelins force her to mount to the top of the tree. There she sits terror stricken The mob yells: "Drink, drink" In desperation the unfort- unate victim at last scoops up some of the fatal liquid with the hollow of her hand, drinks it. and jumps to her feet, shouting and gesticu- lating wildly among the vicious snaky tendrils. One of the tendrils coils about her neck, others wind around her arms and legs. The woman gives vent to horrible shrieks and more demOniacal | While her struggles al ready grow fainter and fainter, the horizontal hairy shoots suddenly rise one by one, like great green snakes, and twine themselves with relentless force around her. It is vivid interpretation of Laocoon'. fate without the beauty of that hero's death.
 The woman struggles no longer. Now, almost incredible, the eight leaves raise their tips from the ground; they rise higher and higher until they inclose the victim as in : case or iron, they press closer and closer, until-oh, horror, the serpent trees store of lethe, mingled with the blood of the human sacrifice, oozes through the interstices. With 8 yell of mad delight the savages rush: to the tree and lap up every drop Of the horrid fluid. The god is appeased. -New Fork World.

It also, regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at work, when your system will be free from poison and the whole body invigorated. You get THE BEST BLOOD when. your system Is In Al condition, and that will only be when the Liver is kept active. Try a Liver Remedy once and note the difference. But take only SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR Tt is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR which makes the. difference. Take it in powder or in liquid already prepared, or make a tea of the powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU- LATOR. You'll find the RED z on every package. Look for it.

deny it either. Mr.. Weed has about
as much admiration for Pompadour
Jim as he has little time for the lanky
Australian, and he bases his views on
what he has actually seen and knows
of the two men, for there are few men
who have more intelligently followed
the hghters for the past few years than
has this same Mr.. Weed.
That Corbett can best Fitzsimmons
he has no doubt, and is perfectly will
ing to back up his opinion with his
bank roll, if necessary. He is as
staunch an admirer of Corbett as he
was of Sullivan in the latters halcyon
days, and has, ever since the Boston
1an's defeat by Gentleman Jim, been
convinced that there is nobody in sport
ing circles now who can best him. In
conversation at the Metropolitan last
nlSht, he said that Corbett could whip
Australian Bob at any mark in the
road, and stood ready to do it. Weed
points out that Corbett broke into his
theatrical trip, paid his own expenses
and those of his training force to the
South to meet the man who was being
paid by Dan Stuart, and who never
really intended to fight him. In his
opinion Corbett will make Fitzsimmons
nght' II In no other way, wherever and
whenever he meets him.
Fitzsimmons' victory over Maher en-
titles him, in Weeds opinion, to
match with Corbett for the worlds
championship, and Corbett, he 2ys,
was never more willing or anxious to
night in his life than at present.
