DEATH OF MONSTER.
End of a Strange Creature That
Spread Terror in Florida.
ResembIed n Huge Sea serpent and
Was Believed by the Indians TO
Have Lived in the Lower Ever
Elades over 100 Years.

Aln enormous reptile, more like an eX-
tinct brontosaurus or fabled sea ser
pent than any living creature, was
lately killed by hunter in the lower
Everglades. He means to send the
skeleton to the Smithsonian institu-
tion at Washington, says Jackson
vile (Fla) report in the Chicago
American.
1t has for 100 years not only been a
tradition among the Seminole Indians,
who inhabited the border Of Lake
Okeechobee, but it is stated Us fact
within the knowledge Of some Of the
Indians now living that an immense
serpent made its home in the Ever
glades and has carried off at least two
Indians.
The Indians reported the animal TO
be snakelike in appearance, with
ears with a deer; that it had only been
seen in the Everglades and that
when it travelled it frequently stopped,
raised its head high above the saw
grass to take view of its surround
ings to discover its enemies or locate
victims, a deer, bear hog or some 9th
er animals. If frightened, the Indians
asserted that it glided off at immense
speed.

Remedy for Gapes.


Gar S are usually due to filth, the eat
ing o. the residuum of food previously
given and feeding in damp places. 1t
is believed that they are propagated in
earthworms, but facts have been dis
covered substantlating this claim. The
best remedy for gapes, if the chicks will
eat. is TO add a teaspoonful of spirits Of
turpentine to q mixture of one pint OF
corn meal and half pint of middlings,
says an exchange. Thoroughly incor-
porate the turpentine with the dry ma
terial, then scald as much of the ma
terial as may be required and feed to
the chicks on clean board. Put ten
drops of carbolic acid in every pint of
drinking water and change the water
frequently every day. There is no sure
remedy for gapes, and inserting feather
tips into the windpipe to draw out the
cape worms can be done only by an ex-
perienced person. There are suggested
remedies. but they are soTC lines as IA
tai to the chicks as the gapes.

1t is almost impossible to do'the work.
of preparing the soil for small fruits
too thoroughly, and this is particularly
the case with strawberry plants. Much
of this preparatory work may be done
in the late summer and fall as soon as

moved Fertilizers should be applied,
the soil should be plowed and thorough
Iy narrowed and covered with crop of
some kind that may be plowed under in
the early spring.
After such crop is plowed under the
soil should be narrowed several times to
put it in the best possible condition. be-

strip of ground that can be used for the
purpose at this time it will be found q
good plan to set out number of va

the pot-grown plants that are offered
by plantsmen at this season. These
plants viii fruit next summer, and
while they are quite inexpensive there
is no cheaper way of having test bed.

ON TRAIN ROBBERS TRAIL.
St. Louis Man Confesses He Is One of
the Burlington Bandits,


The St. Louis police are on the trail of
three men who held up and robbed the
Burlington limited train near Savannah,
ILL.,, on Aug. 5.
According to the statement made to
Chief Kiely by Irwin Chaffee, a motor
man in the employ of the Transit Com
pany. Chaffee's brother confessed to him
that he participated in the robbery and
the murder of the robbers companion.
Chaffee's brother, George Chaffee, came
to st. Louis accompanied by two stran
gers. George asked his brother to rec
ommend a quiet rooming house where he
and his companions could stay for few
days. Irwin recommended a house in
O. We street and they spent several days
thrre.
The dry after their arrival George
Chaffee admitted to his brother, the mo-
torman, that he and his companions com
mirted the train robbery. The two broth
ers had violent quarrel and the motor
man called his brother ''rhief' and train
robber" in such loud tones that the land
lady overheard them. Irwin Chaffee de-
manded that his brother and his compan-
ions leave the house, and they did SO.
Then Irwin went to police headquarters
and told his story. Detectives immcdi-
ately were assigned 10 shadow the house.
Notwithstanding the fact that several
special officers have been on guard night
and day since the police received the in
formation George Chaffee came back to
the house alone one night and escaped
hy the back way when he learned that
the detectives were in front of the house.

Lawrence Richmond noticed several
things that excited his curiosity. In the
first place the Captain was whittier than
he had ever seen him before, and SEEM

he had a handkerchief bound around his
left hand. and it seemed to have been
bleeding too much for him to have
scratched it on a thorn in passing.
The Captain did not seem disposed to

to have quieted his spirits in a wonderful
manner. and he was even ready to believe

An Apt Retort

George Thompson was an English,
man, and Il leader in the movement for
the emancipation of the slaves in the
West Indies. In telling Of his visit to
America in 1S34-5, Samuel J. May says
in his "Recollections' that Thompson
was often insulted In the streets BY
persons who held opposite opinions to
his own, and was subjected to many
indignities, most of which he bore
with equanimity.
Meetings at which he spoke. or at
which he was expected to speak, were
broken up by mobs. Rewards were of
fered for his person or his life. All this
he endured for the most part with for
titude and sweet serenity. He seemed
less apprehensive of his danger than
his friends were. Sometimes he over.
awed the men who were sent to take
him by his dignified. heroic bearing.
and at other times dispelled their evil
intentions by his pertinent wit, one in.
stance of which win suffice.
~ one of the last meetings he adj
dressed In Boston, some Southerners
who CHANGED to be present cried out:
I'VE wish we had you at the South,
We would cut your ears off, II not your
headv'
Would your Mr.. Thompson replied,
promptly. Then would l cry out all
the louder, He that hath ears to hear.
let him heart"
1t was irresistible. Even the South.
