Beats the Snake Trust Farm.

The treatment of goitre with live
snakes on the snake farm that is be-
ing stocked near Rochester, by n
syndicate might find IL more suitable
location for the raising of this product
at FOrksville. On July 13, near
Huckles old house, John Fleming,
Perry Bentield, Chas. Nye and Har-
ris Collins while haying killed seven
monsters, six of which were found
under one rock and with these six,
the found and killed fifty-three
young snakes. Another big rattler
measuring over four feet, was killed
by Levy Lancaster, who, with Chas.
Haight were driving on their way
to Laporte Saturday. When short
distance past the fair ground the
rattler crawled out into the road in
front of the team and stopped as
though he occupied large portion
of the earth with the incline in his
favor. The team became excitable
and Mr.. Lancaster had to advance
on the reptile that made the bold
hold-up. The snake took fighting
attitude but one field blow upon the
head ended his life.

Not Reappoint Teacher.

l.
Not Reappoint Teacher,
The teachers for the Borough
schools have been partly elected and
the wide chasam of the parting ways
of the directors seems hard to bridge.
At II regular meeting some time past
NJ. =. Gavitt of this place and Miss
Julia ODOnovan of Arnot, TiOga Co.
were elected to succeed themselves
for the coming term, but the contest
between Miss Charlott Miller and
Jessie Wrede held the directors on
an even balance for three meetings
and on Tuesday evening the same
deadlock darkened the horizon and
the fair contestants caused fearful,
but at times spirited conflicts be-
tween the directors, and like all
other political affairs disinterested
candidate had to he suggested. Miss
Grace Lawrence was the one to re-
ceive the elective vote, only one of
the board to say nay. After elected
a committee was sent to ascertain if
she would accept, but as she is re-
engaged to teach at Lopez, the ans
wer awaits the disposition of the
Lopez school board.
1t was the general belief that Miss
Miller gave excellent satisfaction.
If there was any expressions of dis
satisfaction they were certainly the
least of either the other departments.
The children of the primary grade,
will, if Miss Lawrence takes the
school, fall into good hands, if that
is the purpose of the directors. The
percentage of attendance and I'M
proved development should Mt all
times be noticeable to directors in
selecting teachers, if these are not
realized there is something wrong,
and the right kind of ''fixing" is moi
being done. The directors are the
fathers, the people and their wishes,
another factor.

A Little Adventure.

From the Cleveland Plain DealerA
This is a story that one of my New York
friends told me one time, and IL is a de-
cidedly interesting one.
One Christmas she had a very handsome
combination card case and pocketbook
given TO her, and not month alterward
she lost il.
or course, that was very, very sad. espe-

Of those comfortable relations known as

feeling.
So you can imagine her joy when one
afternoon day or two later the door bell
rang. and the maid came up to say that
there was gentleman downstairs who had
found her lost pocketbook, and who wished
to return ii TO her.
After stolen prink, down she went, to
be accosted by pleasant, Immediately
groomed man, who rose as she entered.
and handed her the missing pocketbook
with a smile and bow.
Without thinking she started TO open 1t
to see if the contents were safe, when
he stopped her.
II assure you" he said with an amused
look, ''it is perfectly safe. / have taken
nothing from it,
She blushed as red as a poppy. which
very likely made her look distressingly
pretty, and they sat and chatted together
for few. moments, before she thanked
him, and he rose to go.
She was altogether enchanted with her
chance acquaintance. and wondered who
he might be. but as he volunteered no in
formation, she of course asked for none.
And yet she found out. II was after he
had gone. Then she started to explore her
property, and what do you think she found
tucked away among her own calling cards +?
Another. smaller one, which bore en-
graved upon it the name George w. Van
derbilt.''
Then the girl sat down and sighed over
her neglected opportunities. For it was
before he was married, you see.
