In Bed With
a RattleSnake.

W. II. Wakeman, we'll known mining
man, recently had an exciting expert
ence in the Cananea mountains.
Wakeman was out with two others and
they had camped for the night, says the
Copper Era. 1t was quite cold and the
three spread their blankets together and
slept "three ina bed" In the middle
OF the night Wakeman was aroused by
something moving between himself and
one OF the others, down near their knees
and he moved little when he was star
tied by the alarming whr-r-r of a rattle
snake Instantly the three men were
wide awake and the man who shared
the snakes companionship with Wake
man, whispered:
"For Gods sake, don't move"
"What shall We do, asked Wakeman,
cold chilis running all through him.
The third man said: "There is ranch
over here about half mile; will go
over there and get pitchfork.
That was agreed, and the man went,
leaving Wakeman and the other man iy-
ing in bed as quiet as fear would let them,
with their deadly companion between
them. Every little while they could feel
the snake wriggling farther up between
their bodies, where it was warmer, and
they lay almost paralyzed with fear.
Finally, after seeming age, the other
man returned with a pitchfork. Care
fully laying the edges of the covering
blankets back upon both sides, the third
man gradually rolled them up until they
lay in long roll, covering the snake
and the sides of the two men adjacent to
his snakeship. Then at given signal,
Wakeman and the other man rolled out
of bed, leaving the reptile in undisputed
possession, covered and held down by
the blankets, and the wielder of the
pitchfork quickly dispatched it. Need
less to say, there was no more sleep in
that camp that night.

"When was down in Cuba" said Del.

flamingo. A flamingo? Why, it is a
bird of beautiful red plumage which
abounds in the tropics. Well, to con-
tinue, heard Of a post commandant
who, like all other post tcommandants,
was not popular. He. had two fads.
First. he believed in whitewash and
plenty of 1t, asserting it to be the most
effective preventive of tropical diseas asss
ever discovered. His second fad was
an apparently unreciprocated attach
ment to a pet famingo, who resented
being kept in captivity and who showed
his resentment by nipping at every SOL
der who passed his way. On the part
Of the soldier there was nothing to do
but swear under his breath and wait
for revenge. On . certain Monday
morning an order was issued from
headquarters that all articles pertain
ing to the camp which were not shell
tered from the weather should be
whitewashed. No one who knows the
American soldier" added Mr.. Flynn,
needs further information. When /
saw the flamingo hewas as white as the
driven snow. The chances are that the
bird will survive the operation, but he

shifting moods of the people; and that
which comes most directly in touch
with them will, to large extent, con-
troll legislation. The better class, who
cry for the abolition of the saloon,
hardly realize it's tremendous hold on
the people: 1t is easy to say that it
''must co." but it is necessary to face
the fact that something must be pro-
vided in it's place. To ascertain what
this is to be, it must first be known
what attractions the saloon is able to
offer. Although hedged in by laws,
and opposed on every side, it dourishes.
This shows that the root has not been
struck. In what other place can q poor

for five cents? The ,breweries are able
to place these in the saloons by spur-
chasing supplies in large quantities.
Here are bread, several kinds Of meat,
vegetables and cheese, to which custom
ers help themselves. Red-hots, clans
and egg sandwiches are dispensed as
freely to those who do not drink as to
those who do. There is an appearance
OF abundance, found neither in their
homes nor the cheap restaurants, and,
an entire absence Of any sense Of char
dty, so repugnant to self-respecting
man. The hungry here find temporary

rules and regulations, the saloon sur
passes in spirit the organized club.
Men here find the atmosphere Of free
dom and spirit of democracy which
many of them crave. The distinguish
ing feature which draws to one may
be political, to another a common ma
tionality or similarity in occupation.
At ''everybody's exchange" men of
all nationalities meet and exchange
opinions, each being modified by the
others. In one sense broadening in
fuence, which nothing else but travel
could give, is exerted. The saloons are
great factors in assimilating the heter-
ogeneous crowds of foreigners con-
stantly pouring into our cosmopolitan
city. But while being, politically, edu-
Gators for good or ill, in the saloons
are learned the lessons of vice and cor
ruption. The proprietor, often man
of superior intelligence, generally d.
rects the thought. He possesses the
latest news. He is at the head of what

SAL A OONS AS CLUBS.
Some Ethical Aspects Of the Drink

~ EGARDING the work accom-
,Plished by the COMMITTEE Of
Fifty" organized in New York
city, in 1893, by himself, Seth Lowe,
Prof. Francis G. Peabody and other rep-
'resentative men, the late Charles Dud-
ley Warner wrote: TT was from the
first understood thai the prime busi-
ness of the committee was not the ex-
preston of opinion or the advancingor
advocacy Of one theory or another, but
strictly the investigation of facts with
out reference to the conclusions to
which they might lead.'' T. i, 80
F OF the four subcommittees, one has
reported on ''The Liquor Problem in
Its Legislative Aspect" another on
'~The Economic Aspect of the Liquor
Problem::" One line of inquiry has been
into the ethical aspects of the drink
problem and the committee, at it's OWE
expense and under it's auspices, empow-
cred the Chicago Commons to search
into conditions in Chicago and the eth
ical substitutes for saloons. A volume
in which the report Of this inyestiga-
tion will be contained is to be published
soon. During six months of unremit-
ting labor, Mr.. r. L. Melendy, the in
cumbent of the University of Michigan
social settlement fellowship at Chi
cago Commons, prosecuted this self
sacrificing and hazardous work and
brought to light such varying condi-
tions as would surprise the many who
speak much of saloons, but realize
little of the multiplicity of phases Of
human existence to which they bear re.
lation. BY no means the least of the
features Of the saloon is the sort Of
unorganized club life carried on there.

Mr.. Melendy related the story of
one night spent in the "vilest, bum

he went so disguised that his best
friends failed to recognize him.
The odors coming dcwn the stair-

overpowering. Two smoky kerosene

steads. On the frame Of each was q

cover, reeking with filth and alive

with sickly sights, sounds and odors
that made the worst saloon seem
desirable by contrast. The social
settlements, Salvation Army and Y,

New York and elsewhere, it has been
