- city to listen to the lecture of Pro-
fessor e. H. Griggs of Stanford
on the subject of Dante's Terrestrial
Paradise"
With his usual magnetism and clear,
forcible manner of presenting a theme,
Professor Griggs held the keen attention
of his audience for an hour and a half
while he discussed the difference between
medieval and modern thought, Dan
te's theories of life. as expressed in the
Paradise" and the lessons of our own
meditation and guidance which we may
draw from the latter. A few thoughts
are gathered here and there from the adj
dress, which was full of thought and feel
ing.
AT the beginning of canto q we find
Dante and Virgil emerging from the last
part of the Purgatorio into the first heav-
en-, which is the Terrestrial Paradise.
Each must pass through a circle of fire
to gain this paradise at the top of a
mountain, which was pushed up through
Purgatory. This is typical of the emerg-
ence from sin through the fires of purffl-
cation. 1t does not matter much to the
universe whether we are good or
evil, but it is of life and death Importance
to ourselves.
when ascending the mountain toward
the good is as natural and spontaneous is
going down hill, we can then be sure that
we are approaching the image and like
ness of God. Then actions which are help
full to ourselves and others become pleas

SNAKE WITH A STINGER.

An Indian Territory Reptile That
 Struck and Fought With It's Tail
 J. A. Smith, who lives in the Indian Territory, is a reliable man, and peo- pie who hear him tell the following story believe it:
 Saturday afternoon I saw snake lying by the roadside and went to kill it. I wore 8 heavy pair of boots and thought of stamping it on the head, as I have done many one before, but something prompted me to pursue an- other method, and I verify believe that this second thought saved my life I picked up stick and struck the snake heavy blow on the back, wounding it so that it could only wriggle.
 "It was a peculiar kind of reptile, bearing many of the marks of a rattle snake, and thinking it was rattler, I looked at 1t to see why it did not rattle, as such snakes always do This examination proved that the snake was not rattler It had a stubby tail, blunt and hard, which looked almost as much like the head of a snake as the head itself I noticed when looking at this tail that the snake turned it up- ward, and whatjI took to be stinger darted out quickly, lightning like, and
 threatening at once placed a forked stick on it's head to prevent any dan- ger from that quarter, and neighbor
 and myself examined it, and sure enough there was a stinger about an inch long on the tail.
 Knowing such a snake to be curi- osity, took it to my wife at the house and intended preserving it. My wife, Mrs. Nancy Smith; Peter Maytubbi,
 Bethel Gladden., Mrs. Thomas Lancas- ter and others examined the snake and all saw the stinger clearly and plainly, watching it for long time, and every time a stick or anything foreign would touch it the reptile would throw out it's stinger menacingly. I took care of it and Sunday sent 1t to Denison to Dr. J. L. Jones for him to make an examin- ation of it and see what the stinger was like, and if deadly poison, which believe it to be. The neighbor who
 brought the snake in did not under stand what was wanted, and after a
 cursory glance at the snake the doc tor told the man it was copperhead and it was thrown out in the alley. I came in to-day to look for it, and we made diligent search, but failed to find it. l wanted some man posted on such matters to ascertain what kind of reptile it was, the darkies having told of killing snakes that had sting CTS twenty-five years ago, and wanted to satisfy myself if there was poison in the sting as in the fangs. As to there being a stinger there is not the slightest doubt, for myself and wife and the people named above saw it, as did others. From the Galveston News.
