WATER SNAKE FIGHTS EEL.
Terrific Combat Which Finally Ended In
the Eers Escape

Terrific Combat Which Finally Ended In
the Eels Escape,
ibid you ever know that there is a
deadly antipathy between common
water snake and an eel? asked the
fisherman, reports the Indianapolis SEN
tinel. "Well, I never knew it until an
experience that [ had in witnessing
fight between the two. Personally I
have the greatest dread of cells. I'm
more afraid of them than / am of a
snake, and you can imagine my chagrin
when | happened to hook one on one of
my fishing expeditions. I was afraid to
touch it, and all I could do was to let it
bangle in the air. I could not get it off
my hook, and I was meditating what to
do, when altogether unnoticed [ allowed
the Shiny object to drop down into the
water. In moment l saw big water
snake make n dive for it. At the first
lunge it caught the neck of the eel
squarely between it's teeth and I could
see it sink it's ugly-looking fangs into
the cells flesh. [ waited anxiously to
see the developments. With it's grim
hold still on the cells neck the snake,
quick as 1t takes to tell it, wrapped it's
sinuous body around it's antagonists
neck in an effort to squeeze it to death.
The body of the eel was too sleek, how
ever, and the snakes coils, despite ell
it could do, would slip down into the
water. Time and time again it tried to
squeeze the life out of it's antagonist,
never for an instant releasing it's hold
on the eel's neck, but the body of the
latter was too sleek for it, and every
time it would slip down. Finally the
hook broke, and the eel made good it's
escape"

Last snmner one of oar GRAND child

Last summer one OF our grand children
was sick with a severe bowel trouble.
Our doctors remedies had failed, then
we tried Chamherlains Colo, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave very
speedy relief. We regard it as the best
medicine ever put on the market for
bowel COMPLAINTS Mrs. E. G. Gregory,
Frederickstown, Nj 10. This certainly is the
best medicine ever put GU the market for
dysentery, summer complaint, collie and
cholera infantum in children. It never
fails to give prompt relief when used in
reasonable time and the plain printed
directions are followed Many mothers
have expressed their gratitude for the
cures it has effected. For sale by John

Quite Big Man with Sixty Others to
Help Him.


The queens state coachman, Edward
Miller, is an old ard faithful servant,
who has held his post for SO years, says
Spare Moments. He drove the queen
to the duke of York s wedding, on which
occasion he handled four horses from
the box. There were no postillions.
The supreme control of the royal sta
bles rests, of course, with the master
Of the house, an office at present held
by the duke of Portland Next to his
grace in command in the crown equerry,
Sir Henry Ewart, who is really the act
ing chief. Sir Henry, by the way looks
after the naming of the horses. His
duties, however, are not all so light as
this one. The immediate control of
the news is in the hands of Mr.. Nicholas,
who was formerly lieutenant in the
royal horse artillery. He has under
him g, staff of about 60 officials. One
Of the most interesting relics of old
Buckingham house is the riding
horse" which has other interests than
that of the granmarian's escape. In
it the royal children were taught horse
manship, and on the wall one may see
the iron brackets used when they
practiced lemon cutting.

BAPTIZED IN a WIG.
r4aughable Result Due to a Converts Greaa
Personal Pride

y4aughable Result Due to Converts Great
Personal Pride.
It was proved at baptizing few
days ago that it is we'll to go well pre-
pared if you are to be baptized. A cit
izen who was immersed at the last oc-
currence of this kind can testify to this
effect. This gentleman, saws the Louis
vile Commercial, had intended to be
baptized, but it took him long time to
make up his mind. Atlast, however, he
came to decision, and the minister led
him to pool. So far all was we'll.
The trouble commenced as soon as
the minister tried to put the citizens
head under the water. The citizen ap-
parently did not object to standing in
the water up to his ears, but further, or
rather deeper, he did not wish to go.
Finally, as last resort, the minister
placed his hand on his head and began
to bear down. AS he did so the citizens
mass of hair slipped from his head, and
the minister found himself standing
with wig in his hand, while the bald
head of the citizen doomed up conspic-
uously
After this there was no trouble in get
ting this head under the water. The
citizen had always carefully concealed
the fact that he was bald, and when he
was found out he went under the water
SO willing and stayed so long that the
spectators became frightened. He was
taken out very much ashamed of him
