When Superintendent Geo. + d.
7. Cook had charge of the col
orsd schools the colored teachers
found him to be a gentleman and
man who was ready to defend
their interests under all circum-
stances. They could 60 to him
and relate their grievance without
being offended. The colored
trustees under his administration
were not Vinidictiye, but were
ever read to do all in their power
to promote their interests and that
Of the colored schools. There were
hundreds of NAL contents then,
who were dissatisfied aud appealed
to Congress to investigate the pub
lie school system. Superintendent
Powell and Cook were lsgistated
ont Of office and new men appoint
ed. New rules and new methods
were adopted to the chagrin o:
those who are now dissatisfied with
our present school system. THH
BEE is Of the opinion that there Is
no cause for complaint under The
present management. perhaps with
one exception. The cOlorsd teach,
err feel the need of Mr.. Cook. They
feel the need of the old trustees
and thefartherly conselati II they
received from them. The inyestiga-

pulls il tight, and then seizes the
reptile just below the poison sac on
the head.
In a trice the wriggling snake IS
safe in the -four bag she carries, and
a few twists of the bag prevents all
danger of the fangs striking through.
Mrs. Nasal declares that snakes
exert a curious charm on those
who follow the business of snake
hunting. She calls the reptiles in
her collection pets" and handles
them as if they were kittens.
The snake market varies greatly.
Of late years there has been a large
demand from physicians and sci
entists. CircUses and museums af-
ford a more steady market.
To collect the venom Mrs. NASAL
induces the snakes to strike
again and again, discharging thei.
poison in a sort of glass hood. This
venom sells by the drop and is very
valuable.
Mrs. Nasal maintains that the
moccasin has no poison sac. The
adder. the cotton mouth and the cop
perhead she ranks next TO the rat
tier.
Hoop snakes viii not come at all.
They live quite apart from the other
serFents, and, according to this wom-
an snake hunter. are extremely poi
sonous. They have TO be tracked
with care, and are difficult to locate.
Owing to their peculiar manner of
locomOtion, rolling over and over.
tail in mouth, and forming a hoop.
they leave an unmistakable track.
That hoop snakes really roll over
and over has often been disputed bv
naturalists, but Mrs. Nasal vouches
for the truth Cf the belief.
1T is not a well-defned roll" she
says, "but a wrigging, clumsy top

DEALS IN REPTILES.
Mrs. NASAL, the Champion Snake
Hunter of America.
She Not Only Catches RattIers, But
Also Does n Thriving business
as "A Wholesale Dealer in
Serpent POisOns.

The most successful snake hunter
in the United States is a woman,
Laura De Nasal. She lives near Lex
ington, Oklahoma territory, in the
Wichita mountains.
At one time Mrs. NASAL was per
former in a circus. Her face be-
came disfgured accidentally, so she
left the circus and took up the busi-
ness of supplying snakes to snake
charmers, scientists and curators OF
museums. She collects serpent poi
sons, which are being studied exten-
sively now IL the hope that they
may Weld vzluab bic anti-toxins for
bacterial diseases.
Mrs. NASAL drives a large trade
also in snake oils, warranted TO cure
many diseases, from rheumatism to
insanity. The business is quite re-
munerativC.
Mrs. MasaH came into Lexington
the other day to put $3.50 in the bank,
the proceeds Of a sale of snakes to
q circus.
Her method of catching snakes, as
described in the New York World
IS remarkable. With her half-breed
husband, Mespah, she lives in little
hut in the mountains. At a short
distance from the house are huge
bowlder and a spring called the
Venom spring. Spring and bowlder
are infested with snakes of all sorts
Mrs. NASAL has an old flute, and
q few tunes on il day or night will
bring out an audience of squirming
kissing snakes. They hid about with
in few feet Of her in the grass. Rat
tIesnaIes especially are fond of the
noise of the flute.
In catching the snakes the woman
uses long pole with a short run
ming moose on the end. She drops the
moose over his snakeship's head

were seeing the other man off. All
Of them are exhibit attaches at the
Pan-American exposition and the
fourth man was leaving for his home
in a far western state. With his
three companions they had started
Tor the train several hours before
train time, and they had spent most
of the intervening time in drinking
HIS health. Naturally they were in a
mood TO be a little careless of the
depot regulations.
About half an hour before train
time one OF them discovered there
was a later train which their friend
could take and arrive at his destina-
tiOn just as soon, while the new ar
rangement would lengthen the time
they would have to express their re-
gard for him at sundry bars. They
reptired to the depot TO have his
ticket changed.
While he was going through this
formality at the ticket office they
stood a little way back in the wait
ing-room putting vigorously on
strong cigars. A policeman ap-
preached, but he wasn't gruff at all.
With a pleasant smile and a strong
Hibernian brogue he remarked:

Poor Papa,s Poor Patients.

Here is a little story of a little girl,
the daughter of local physician OF
credit and renown:
She is a bright child of six and has
been much petted by her admiring
friends. Perhaps this has spoiled her
a little, but she is so sweet and enter
tanning that visitors can't keep their
hands off of her.
One of these visitors, a new neigh
Dor, made a call on the little maid'a 5
mother, and it was but few mo-
ments before the little maid was on
her lap.
In the chatter which followed the
lady made some allusion to the little
ones grandmother.
"Why, didn't YIN mow?" cried the
child.
Know what, dGar?" said the visitor
"Why," answered the child, grand
ma is dead, and grandpa is dead, and
Aunt Jane is deid-and most all OF
papa's patients ale dead, tOel"-CIeye'

The First Anarchist.

The Nashville AmericaB says
that John Brown was the first
American anarchist. The most
charitable thing that can Be said
/ of him is that he was mad man
but even If he was mad man he
richly deserved the fate he met
1t was something of a surprise to
the south when President McKin-
lev houored the grave of John
Brown with his presence and stood
before 1t with uncovered head. No
halo can ever be woven around the
name Of john Brown. The south
regards him with the horror and
loathing whiel it feels for the as
sassin of President Mckinley"
This alIusiol to John Brown
sounds like the rab. d uttrrance of

Europe's system OF Royal Succession.

u n
The most general is that known as
the saliC system, under which women
are completely excluded. This is the
rule in Belgium, Sweden and Norway,
Italy, Denmark and Germany. Then
there is the German-Dutch system un.
der which Germans in all degrees of re.
latiOnship take precedence Of females,
the throne passing to the female line
only in case of the extinction of all the
male lines, however remote. This is
the rule in HOlland.-from which the
law takes its name-Russia, and some
of the minor German states. The
third system is our own (English) un.
der which females are excluded when
there are males in the same degree Of
relationship, but take precedence of
males whose degree of relationship is
not so close as their own. Thus an
elder daughter of the ruling sovereign
gives way TO all her younger brothers
and their issue, but takes precedence
of a male cousin or a nephew. This
system is the rule in Spain and Portu-
gal as well as in England.-St. James
Gazette.
