A strange petrincation was recently
found In Kentucky which closely re-
sembles huge rattleenake. Whether
or not 1t be that is question upon
which scientists are divided
The curiosity was found by Farmer
John NJ Brown In the mountainous
regions OF Wayne County. Ky. When
be came upon II suddenly he thought
II a big live snake aud was frightened.
But when he saw his mistake he made
an examination and decided that the
find was worth removing to his yard.
where IL now lies. Mr.. Brown de-
scribes II as follows
1T has n head exactly resembling a
rattler's head. but It is a little large In
proportion to the body-not enough,
however. TO dispose OF the theory OF II
having been a snake lts head meas
ures eight inches across in the widest
place It was twenty-one feet long
when first got it. but the relic hunt
ers have broken on and purloined
about three feet Of its tail. It is six
teen inches IN circumference and the
largest part OF its body which is some
aearer the head than the tail. II has tha
natural taper Of the snaBe; in fact, In
every particular It resembles a huge
rattler In a coiled position"

SHIPS RANGE OF ACTION

CLOSE QUARTERS "pusINEss" As PICTURED
BY POOR ARTISTS.
"The pictures in some Of the burn-or-
angc newspapers of battleships in action
are about as funny rs the Japanese idea Of
prospective" said naval officer to u
newspaper reporter. "These pictures rep
resent the opposing ships blazing away at
each other with l3-inch rifles at n range of
about hundred feet, and the artists GER
tainly work up the thing to make it look
terrific enough in all conscience. It's q
wonder to me they don't represent the
crews Of opposing ships in the act Of using
graphing irons, rs they did in engage
ments at close quarters In the days of the
old 7O-gun frigates As matter Of fact,
If either battleship In an engagement be
tween vessels of to-day got within such a
range Of another, or any thing like it, it
would simply be Il matter of the first shot
One big shell delivered Mt such a rnngr
would leave only the debris of the struck
ship floating on the surface of the water
Modern ships of war are not dcyiscd to
get Within any such range of each Other
in action The nearest that any Of the
opposing ships in the great naval bnttlc at
Manila got to each other was trillc uu.
der two miles, and what one battleship
can do to another at that range Is some
thing beyond calculation The naval en-
gagement of this era is very largely n mat
ter of manoeuvring-of presenting the
smallest possible target to the guns of the
enemy's ship, and of forcing the enemy tC
present the biggest hold to the range
finders. When the commander of shiT
| i'm the coming engagements can contrivC
to get his work on the enemy's vessels
while only pointing his nose in their di
rection-leaving them practically only {
rnzor's edge target--he IS liable TO ent
them up. But while there is still drill
in the United States Navy called "repel
ling boarders, the drill is only retained

/ be done in the coming fights will be don,
by prize crews taking possession of beater
ships after tho latter have struck thei
colors.

Art In Sandwich Making.

Ninety-nine women in hundred max
ing sandwiches for company expected in
the evening, and wanting them crustless
will cut the crust off after slicing the bread
Take whole loaf of bread, cut the sides
and top crust off, leaving the bottom crust
on. Then, having squared off one end,
spread on your deviled ham, sardlne paste
or whatever and cut thin slice buck to
the bottom crust. Release the slice by
running your knife down just inside the
bottom crust Then neither the bread nor
your temper is orumpled.

Trashy novels and the yellow
journals usurp large place in the
literature of the day superadded
are the magazines with so-called
short stories and the world of en-
ticing novelettes. Then come those
pretentious works which assume TO
take a high place in the literary
world, captivating by the dexterous
application of fine phraseology,
which often veilspoverty of thought

may we'll be doubted He can put
this victory down to his own per

which he is held by his fellow citi-

in the face of the allegations made

then slapping them on their knees very
angrily, until tho president rang his
great bell, and they quoted down lest
he might put on his hat and adjourn

Miss Maud Gribble.

We are panied to chronicle the
death of Miss Maud Gribble, young
est daughter OF Mrs. Susannah Crib
BILE, who departed this life on Thurs
day, March 81, 1903.
Maud was born In Waldwick, where
she resided, with the exception of one
year spent in the city OF Mineral
Point. She was II bright, intelligent
girl of sixteen years, the JOY and com
fort of her mother, loving sister,
and favorite companion with many
friends and schoolmates. TO know
her was to love her. 1t Is sad indeed
to think that II life SO young and
beautiful should be called from earth
40 soon. Maud had not enjoyed good
health for some time past, and about
two months ago, thinking u change in
climate might In some way benefit her,
she went in company with her mother
to Colorado, and later ON to Wyo-
ming to visit her aunt Mrs. Dickin-
son. Mt whose home she died. During
her last illness she kindly remembered
those whom she was leaving, and sent
through her mother an atfectionate
farewell to her many friends in Wis
consin. Later she bade her mother
II loving goodbye, said she was will
ling to go, but oh SO sorry to leave
her mother who was ever SO kind and
thoughtful for her.
Monday the remains we're brought
to llollandale, then taken to her farm
home, where, ON Tuesday, funeral SER
vices were conducted in the presence
of many sorrowing friends and com
panions. She was laid to rest In
Graceland cemetery, Mineral Point,
together with brothers, sisters and
father.
The bercavcd mother, sis.cr and
brothers have the sympathies of the
entire community in this thair time of
great trouble.
