A CORY SNAKE TALE.
The Captain Barely Escaped and Then
Saw = Wonderful Battle

The Captain Barely Escaped and Then
Saw . Wonderful Battle
Over ou the reclaimed sugar lands
at st. Cloud are found some of the
biggest snakes. rattlers and mocca
sins in this section of the state. Whilo
Captain Winter was riding down a
path near the creek big reptile
sprang at him from beside the path,
catching his leather boot The ser
pent's fangs could not penetrate the
leather, but hung there, dangling.
The captain was greatly startled,
but bent down and cut at the reptile
with his riding whip, breaking its
neck. Almost instantly one of the
tree snakes that are found in this
section dropped down from an over
hanging branch and coiled around
his neck, and almost at the same i'll
slant another rattler on the other
side of the horse made a spring, fas,
tening on his heavy corduroy trou-
sers.
The horse set of on a run and the
captain was unseated, being thrown
into the middle of the bushes. The
big rattler was thrown of by his
fall, but the tree snake still hung
around his neck, and its folds grail
ually frightened, choking him. Tie
captain seized its throat with bis
right hand and with his left he
tried to untwist its coils. The snake
was big one, and he had terrible
struggle with II. Again and again
it would force its big head into his
face, its wicked red eyes cleaning
with malice and rage, while its fork
ed tongue ran out, and its sickenirg 9
breath almost overcame him. Coil
after coil he hurriedly unwound
from around his neck, relieving his
breathing until at last he was en-
tirely free. His grasp on its throat
became tighter, and he strangled 1t,
having no weapon with him. As
it's folds relaxed hs cast il from him.
While waiting he heard hissing &
by his side, and, glancing around,
he saw two reptiles coiled, almost
ready to spring. A third hiss on
the other side showed him a rattlcr
in the act of springing. The captain
jumped for his life. and as he did SO
the snakes sprang at the same time,
and by a funny coincidence they
missed the captain and struck each
other in midair. They fell in con
vulsive heap, fighting each other
tooth and nail. The captain bad
sprung to a tree stump and stoOd
there watching the strange combat.
One of the serpents had caught the
other in its fanSs, and the wounded
one was striking viciously at the
other two. Ii was a three cornerec
fight of a most vicious and deter
mined character. The snakes would
coil up and spring at each other, IN
f1icting wounds, their furious eye
blazing fire, while their kissing anC
rafting made terrible din. Final
ly one of them fell over in its deatl
agony, the poison having workeC
into its system, and shortly aftei
that both the others also fell, writh
ing.
The captain did not wait to see tn,
end, but with vigorous leaps gain
ed the path and started after hi
runaway horse, which he found hal
: a mile farther on, and the captail
mounted and came to town -Bui

Secret of Human Happiness.

ness is an open secret. Itneeds
no weird incarnation. no mystic
rious alchemy to bring it forth.
Itisa secret only in the sense
that many search for it in vain.
True happiness is in the reach
of every son of Adams race,
and vet so few have found it
that the race is enshrouded in
gloom and anchored to misery.
another proposition that may
at first seem incredible IS that
since the birth of the human
race this secret of happiness
has been the Holy Grail, the
Golden Fleece. the Philosoph-
er's stone of humanity. Every
human beng old and young.
cultured or unrefned. civilized
or savage, Of whatsoever age.
cline, or condition has ever.
and only sought this secret. lC
has been the ultimate rule Of
the human race. The individ-
uaI may not himself realize this
but his most arduous toll even
is undertaken with this in view.
A man may say. mo. | labor
to excel in my profession" |
answer, it is because this excel
lence only you think can make
you happy. Another says, mo.
labor to support my family"
answer, it is because you
could not be happy if their
wants were not supplied, and
find your greatest happiness in
their comfort.
One truth must be we'll un-
derstood before we proceed in
our search. Nothing can make
US happy that fails to satisfy.
Solomon experimental along
three we'll defined lines. wealth,
ambition. and self qualification.
He had thorough opportunities
for experimenting. He had
untold wealth. He reached the
very pinacle of human fame
and glory. He had unlimited
means of gratifying selfish de-
sire, and pleasure. After a
thorough trial of these agencies
IN the search for THAT good
thing which the sons of men
should do under the heavens
all the days of their life" +" be
declared in bitterness, "All is
vanity and vexation of Spirit. .
Solomon. the wise man. was
right. None of these thing:
satisfy, and none can make
happy. After a long life o.
failure and disappointment Sol
ONION solved the vexing prob
lem and left on record his con
cluslon for those who had no
the means, or inclination fo
searching. Let us hear th,
conclusion of the whole matter
fear God and keep his com
mandments, for this is the who'll
duty of man." Now Solomon
conclusion is in beautiful &C
cord with a profound law o
human nature. Men are prom
to confuse the body with tn
soul. They almost invariabl,
confuse pleasure with happi
ness. Wealth. Ambition, an
Pursuit Of Worldliness may
and undoubtedly do bring pleas
ure. but cannot give true hap
plness. There is the same di
ference between pleasure an
happiness as between cart
and heaven. as between tim
and eternity, as between tn
body and the spirit. Pleasur
is of the earth, earthly. HaI

RESENTED AN INSULT
An Arkansaw Soldier Felled Naughty New Yorker for an Insult to the
 South.

There came near being Q very serious riot Wednesday after noon between the First and Second Arkansas and Ninth New York The trouble was caused by 8 re- mark made by one of the New Workers to the effect that a negro in the north was as good as a southern white man. No sooner than the remark had passed from the New York mans lips than Private Wilson, of the First Arkan sas, who was standing near him, landed a stiff right swing on his cranium, felling him to the ground. At this a crowd of New Workers surrounded Wilson and things be. gan to look rather squally for the Arkansan when he suddenly drew keen bladed knife and slashed his way through the crowd and return ed to the camp. No one was cut in the melee. A large crowd of New Workers soon appeared at the camp of the First Arkansas and demand ed that Wilson be turned over to them. This, of course, was refused, and it appeared that a general fight would result, when Col. Chandler ran to the scene and succeeded in quelling the disturbance. Wilson was arrested and a court.martial has been ordered 10 try him today Arkansas Democrat

Every woman should realize that her health is like bank account At the out set she has so much deposited to her credit in the bank of health If she draws out more than she puts in she will soon over draw her account. An over-drawn account ill the bank of health means one of two things, a life of hopeless suffering or an early death
 The woman who neglects her health i'll womanly way is making big drafts on her account with the bank of health and will soon be physical bankrupt Disorders of this description wreck woman's general health quicker than anything else in the world. They soon transform q healthy, happy, aniablc woman into q weak, siclsly, fretful and Respondent invalid They ut terly unfit a woman for wifehood or mother hood For all disorders of this nature Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is the best of all medicines. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned in maternity, giving them health, strength, vigor and elasticity. It relieves pain allays inflammation, checks debilitating drains, and quickly subdues all other symp- toms. It at once stops the dragging pains and sinking spells, the nervousness, the digestive disturbances and other complica- tions that arise from the same cause. Taken during the months of expectant maternity 1t banishes the usual discomforts and makes baby's advent easy and almost pain less. If insures the newcomers health and plentiful supply of nourishment Thousands of women have testified to its marvellous merits. An honest dealer will not suggest an inferior substitute for the sake of extra profit.
