In Florida the other day two little
children while at play saw moccasin
snake and tried to capture tit was
such a pretty thing. They are now
sleeping side by side, and two newly
made graves tell the sad story of the
end of two lives. which if lived might
give profit to the world. The sad af-
fair reminds us that there are other
serpents in this world that look Just
as nice. but in whose fangs there is a
deadly poison far more fatal than that
of the deadly moccasin snake Grown
up men and women are, however. as
innocent of the danger as were the
little ones who thought the serpent so
pretty and nice to fondle. There is a
word of warning in the sad incident
recorded. Avoid the serpent in every
form. It has wiped the grandest ma
tons off the map. 1t makes quick
work of individuals.

Major General Miles has Just re
turned TO Washington after a five
months tour of Europe, during which
he studied the methods employed by
the European militia. One point noted
by General Miles was the large use
made in Europe of American weapons.
notably machine, rapid fire and small
guns. At Aldershot every one of the
British regiments that swept past in
review was followed by a machine gun
of American invention. The entire
British army was armed with a rifle
designed by an American. The gen
eral also says that the Germans have
quietly begun the purchase of a num-
Der of American machine guns. Rus
sia also uses American ideas in her
army, and it is. believed by the gen
eral that only the enormous expense
of making change in the present sys-
tenn has operated to prevent the French
from adopting the same machine and
ranid-tfte guns.

Miss Quincy protests against willful
sadness in literature, but people like
to weep. The most popular novels OF
the last three years have been sad en-
ough to produce confirmed melan-
choly on the part of every person who
has read them. The more successful
plays of the period are built on human
misfortune and agony. The more
novelreaders and play-goers weep the
happier they are; and if originally de-
cent heroines are Inundated to the
dust and beyond any hope of recovery,
the enjoyment is intense.

Another Opinion.
DIroR OF EXAMINER:

EDITOR OF EXAMINER:
noticed in your paper of January %
that you mentioned few points in RI
gard to the estray law.
We will agree with you on that beirle
poor law, and would suggest that y
law be passed that would not allow
everybody and anybody to advertise
estrays, but have one man in each town
appointed by the commissioners or by
petition to the same, and lie should be
a man able to read brands and not guess
at them, and all animals should be adj
Yertised in county paper for at least
sixty days before they can be sold and
after all expenses are taken ont of the
proceeds of the sale of estray, the bal
ance should be turned in to help the
district schools out. BY all means do
not allow notices to be posted up, for it
looks as though that it were nothing
more nor less than a easy way to SNUG
gle the animal. 1t encourages man to
run in estrays and get them for nothing.
I think the people of Bear Lake are
asleep. Why don't they call a mass
meeting and find out what we want and
then ask for it. We cannot hope to get
anything if we do not ask for it. We
have sent men, and men that we can
trust to the legislature to do all that
lay IN their power for the benefit Of
Bear Lake and its people.
Now let US let them know what we
want or ever after hold our tongs, ii we
lea re everything to them. We could
make good plea for our grazing lands
and of our streams being befouled with
sheep herds camping on our water edges
and then the frespit water and rains
washing every thing into our streams.
Let some one call a mass melting for
we stand in need very badly.
