A RattIesnake Story.

In Life and Sport on the Pacific
Coast" Horace A. Vachell relates one
of his narrow escapes from a friends
bullet: MY cousin and l had been
camping and hunting for several days
in a sort of paradise valley. One day,
during long ride on horseback, we
had seen a great many rattlesnakes
and killed a few, an exceptional eX-
perience. That night my cousin woke
up and saw, by the light of the moon,
big RATHER crawling across my chest.
He lay for a moment fascinated, hor-
ror struck, watching the sinuous curves
of the reptile.
''Then he quietly reached for his six
shooter, but he could not see the rep
tiles head, and he moved nearer, noise
1essly, yet quickly, dreading some
movement on my part that should pre-
cipitate the very thing he dreaded, and
then he saw that it was not a snake at
all-cnly the black and yellow stripe Of
my blanket, which gently rose and fell
as I breathed. Had he fired-well, it
might have been bad for me, for he
confessed that his hand shook"

Negro Superstition.

Many Of the negro superstitions in
Kentucky are quite interesting. An
old philosopher told me with great
gravity: eff you want peppahs to grow,
you must git mad. My old 'oman an
me had a spat, an L went right out
an planted my peppahs, an they come
right up" Still another saying is that
peppers to prosper must be planted
by a redheaded or by high tempered
person.
The negro also says that one never
sees a jaybird on Friday, for the bird
visits his satanic majesty to ''pack kin
ding" on that day. The three signs
in which negroes place implicit trust
are the well known ones of the ground
hogs appearing above ground on the
Cd Of February, that hoe must not be
carried through house or a death will
follow and that potatoes must be plant
ed in the dark of the moon as we'll as
all vegetables that ripen in the ground
and that corn must be planted in the
light of the moon.

One Of the queerest little pets ever
seen is the tame ant belonging to a we'll
known scientist. This man keeps tribes
of ants in nests which he has made
himself and feeds them with honey or
sugar through a tube that connects
with the nests. One day he saw that
one Of the ants kept coming into the
tube to eat up the honey in the glass
bulb at the end. When he took out the
cork that closed the bulb, the insect
came to look for the food, and he offer
ed it some honey on the point of a
needle, says the New York Tribune.
The ant shrank back at first, then
drew nearer, feeling about with it's an
tennR, until it reached the needle.
Soon it learned to take the honey off
its keepers finger, although ants are
among the most timid of living things,
and a new odOr or the least movement
outside their nests usually drives these
little insects away.
This ant is now so tame that it quits
the bulb as soon as the cork is removed
and goes to find the honey on the sci
entist's finger. When it's meal is over,
it does not try to hurry away, but
waits till it's master lifts it on bristle
and carries it back to it's nest.

Lord Southey's GuiIIotine.

The most eccentric action of an eccen-
trio man was Lord Southey's cool ar
rangement for suicide by means of a
guillotine. He had magnificent one
erected in the drawing room of his
house in the Rue du Luxembourg at
Paris. The machine was of ebony in
laid with gold and silver, the frame
work carved with artistic skill, the
knife, sharp as razor, was Of polished
and ornamented steel. Preparing for
death, his lordship had his hair cut
close, and, clothed in a robe Of white
silk, he kneeled upon the platform
under the knife before a mirror and
pressed the spring which should release
the knife. But the spring failed to
work, and the would be suicide decided
to give the guillotine to a museum in
stead of making a second attempt to
end his life. 1t is said that he made
an annual pilgrimage to see the guillo-
tine until the end of his life.

Laughter Saved the Shin.

Humor has been credited with the
saving of many things, but perhaps
never before has ship been saved by
it's judicious application. In great
storm many years ago ships crew
were all at prayers, when boy burst
into fit Of violent laughter. Being re-
proved for his ill timed mirth and asked
the reason for it, he said, "Why, was
laughing to think what a kissing the
boatswain's red nose will make when it
comes in contact with the water" This
ludicrous remark set the crew laugh
ing, inspired them with new spirits,
and by a great exertion they brought
the vessel safely into port.-Liverpool

Use of Name Unauthorized.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 3O-Burr w.
Jones, who has just returned from a
trip to Europe and who, during his alb
sence, was brought out by some To-
cal politicians as a candidate for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination,
said that he had never authorized the
use of his name in that connection and
did not know whether he would accept
it if it were. offered to him or not. 1t
is known, however, that he would like
to be governor, and could probably be
induced to accept the nomination if
he could get it without a fight.

Ate Carrots and Died.

Manitowoc Wis, Aug. 31.-The
young son of Richard MarQuart died
here after short illness. He ate
some carrots during the morning and
they may have caused his illness. The
boy came home and complained of
shortness of breath. A physician was
at once summoned, but before he could
arrive the boy was dead.

GOV. LAFOLLETTES CONDITION
Quiet But Plucky Fight for Health
Question of Imported
Teachers.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 3.-Summer is
giving away to autumn, as shown by
the advertisements of state and cOun-
ty fairs. 1t is delicious to note the
smell of autumn in the air. 1t is per-
haps the best of the seasOnS-that is,
until spring comes. To a well ordered
person each season is the best while
it is current.
Governor LaFollette is still sick. He
is gaining rather than losing, but it is
pne of those long, tedious illnesses
when it must require even more than
the consciousness Of high honors to
keep one jubilant. His stomach is a
weak point. 1t does not handle the
food we'll. A physician sees him ev-
cry day and one of the treatments is
to flush that organ with a tube pro-
jected down the mouth, which Is not
a very pleasant experience, say those
who have endured it. However, the
governor is reported to show good
nerve in that, as in all else. Govern
or LaFollette is not a rich man, as
everybody knows, and revenue from
law practice stops when one becomes
governor. He is under heavy expense,
against which the $1,000 salary can
make only a partial impression, and
withaI the SIGH man merits the SYM
pathy and best wishes of all good cit
liens. His silence during these trying
months is about as impressive as any
course of action could well be.

Professor Golf has in fine condition,
despite the bought. They saw, among
other things, some $50 varieties of
plums. It is the business of this de-
partment to try all new kinds and to
recommend the ones that thrive. In
planting his orchard Of 1000 plum
trees, Mr.. Samuel Marshall of Madi-
son has profited by the conclusions
and he is operating with some thirty
varieties. These trees set out about
12O to the acre. This orchard the visi-
