A VARIABLE SNAKE STORY.

During the late ''cold spelr Joe
Warden, Charlie Peery, Will Moore
and perhaps others were turkey
hunting on the Peak and come upon
the track of huge snake, Literally
abe trail of serpent. They follow
ed the spoor to the south of the
Peak where they found an immense
black snake asleep in little spot of
sunshine which Warden declares
was not much bigger than a buck
wheat cake and so we'll defined was
the erea Of warmth that about three
inches of the tail which projected
into the shadow was found to be
frozen stark and stiff. Ard this
is absolutely and literally
true, if we can believe the solemn
observation of the three able bodied
witnesses. They all differ as to the
length of the va, mint. however.

New York Tribune" Almanac.

! 1t IS lmpracticable to issue an alma
nae worthy of the name in anv wear
before the first of January, because
there are certain important and neces-
sary statistics which cannot be offic-
lally be obtained before that date. A
certain so-called syndicate almanac. n
lew years ago, made a desperate at
Tempt to be on the market ahead of all
competitors in order to enjoy the ad-
Vantages Of being first on sale: and to
accomplish the result it copied about
hundred pages from the Tribune AL
manac of the year before and hum
plugged the public by printing ancient
hgures as brand new statistics No
one can allege such conduct against
The Tribune Almanac itself, which is
standard authority and is Just what it
purports to be. The Tribune Almanac
Tor 1898 Is one of the best numbers
ever issued by that conservative and
and careful newspaper. 1t contains
$40 pages, about 90 more than usuol
and Is an admirable book of reference
and compendium of the facts. statis-
ties and matters to which the Ameri-
can citizen to refer to a hundred time Il
year. For data of public nature one
can scarcely refer to the Tribune AL
manac IN vain, no matter what the
topic Is. People do not always know
where to look for a Constitution of the
United States. 1t can be found in the
Tribune Almanac for 1903. The new
Constitution of the State of New York
which cut such an important figure in
last years municipal campaign in New
York City, is there also. The names
and salaries of government officials
and the leading officers of the States is
given; and thousand other things Of

Success in Striking" Titles.

The success of striking title to an
article or story is understood bv no
American periodical so well as the La
d|c%' HOmc Journui, writes new
York correspondent. 1t hiss made its
titles famous by their uniqueness. It's
'Side-Talks With Girls" "Heart TO
Heart Talks" ''Unknown Wives of
Well-KnOwn Men" have been ridiculed
and paraphrased from one end of the
country to the other. But it has all
been grist for the Philadelphia period
lcal. Just now the title of ''The
Inner Experiences of Cabinet Mem
ber's Wife" is attracting attention.
Julia Magruder's new love-story is
given the title of "a Heaven-Kissing
Hlll'-taken from Shakespeare, really.
but who but the JOu1W0L would have
thought of it? Marion Crawford's new
story is called ''The Dead Smile"-a
title good enough to sell any story.
The Men l Never Married" is tackled
to a new series. The Man Under
Thirty-fve" made the reputation of
Lillian Bell in this magazine. 'My
Literary Passions" under which Mr..
Howells wrote in the journal, served
at once to attract attention. Julian
Hawthorne sends a strong story to the
but with poor title. 1t is
Immediately rechristened "There are
no Wolves i'll Ireland" Yet each title
adopted by this clever magazine fits
the story and is really the best caption
for it. "a Minister of the World
started that story on its success. 'Mr.
Beecher as l Knew Him" was an in
imltable title for Mrs. Beecher's mem
oirs of her husband. "The Gentleman
Who is Going to Die" is the caption of
forthcoming story by Clara Morris.
Talk about cleverness in titles, what
is such a postmaster in the
art as The LGdicS' Home Journal?
And a newspaper man knows how diff
ticult this art of title is. But nothing
is so valuable in attracting the eye of

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctOred too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
near to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be easily avoided.
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized. If you need
medicine you should have the best.

Henry MOsIer's Great Painting, "Le
RetOur."

There hangs in the Luxembourg
National Gallery in Paris a painting
called 'Le RetOur." Itrepresents the
characteristic Breton interior, with the
huge carved bed or lit clOs, and the
great old fireplace. In the bed lies
the body of an old Breton mother,
the bedclothes drawn about her face.
the blessed candles burning solemnly
at either side of her head. At the bed
side are two people who have come to-
gether, the prodigal returned, too late
and the village father who admins
tered the last sad rites to the sleeper
within. Before the bed, in deepest
contritiOn, kneels the wanderer, who
had expected different welcome. The
little green sprig with which he had
bedecked his hat in anticipation of the
Joy of reunion lies fallen upon the
floor. The bundle of trivial presents
remains pitifully unopened. Anguish
speaks in every curve of the body, the
sunken head, buried in hands that
hide the drip of tears. And beside
stands the solemn figure of the priest.
a monument to the uselessness of sobs
and tears and the language of conso-
lation. This picture was sent to the
Salon once. On the day of the OPEN
ing of the Salon, Henry Mosler, the
artist, repaired, with many misgivings
to look for his picture, but as apart
ment after apartment revealed only the
great canvases of others, his heart sank,
and at last, after all but the Hall of
Honor had been searched, he followed
the crowd through the great door into
this room, and on toward the chief OBJ
ject of interest, picture hidden from
view by the throng about it. 1t was
not an easy matter, but eventually he
came near enough, and stood notion
less before his master-wOrk, hung
nobly in the place of honor. 1t was
Henry Mosler who stood there before
his "Le Retour" on the wall, although
it seemed too good to be true that he,
almost unknown in the great art world
of Paris, should, out of thousands of
artists, have his picture hung in the
Hall of Honor, and on the line. 1t was
fact, however, and better still, the
painting was bought by the French
Government for the Luxembourg Gal
lery-the very first one by an Ameri-
can artist to achieve that distinction
