Fabulous Tales About Snakes That
Charm and Bank of England
Arrangements.

A lie that nothing seems able to
kill is the fable the snake fascinat-
ing its prey. It is always bobbing
up serenely. Travellers, otherwise
truthful, think it necessary to put it
in their books; novelists use it in all
good faith, and it appears in the pa
pers once in every six months, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The whole yarn is complete myth.
No snake has any power of fascina-
ton; not even boa constructor.
Snakes lie in wait for their prey,
pounce on it and make meal OF it.
without any frills or etiquette, but
nothing can kill the story. A COM
panlon lie that generally goes with
1T is the one about the serpent lick
ing his prey all over before swallow
ing it to make the job easy. There
is not jot of truth in this statement
either; but since the notion was start
ed by a traveller with a vivid magma
ton, it has reappeared regularly, and
endless books on zoology have copied
1t as truth.
The great British bated-breath story
Is that the enormous wealth in the
Bank of England storerooms is sunk
under water every night, so as to be
secure against theft. A huge tank is
SAID to lie under a sort of platform
that holds the heaped millions, and
at the touch of button the whole,
affair lowers itself into the tank, and
Is covered by about nine feet of wa
ter. This is absolutely bosh; but moth
Ing seems able to kill the fable. 1t
resulted originally from the sugges-
ton of mad inventor "crank" long
time ago, when ideas for the securi-
ty OF Britain's wealth were being dis
cussed. The fact is, the whole bank
building is built "thief-proof," and all
night body of soldiers patrol the pas
sages and corridors. But the sub
merged-gold idea is still in the best of
health.

To talk Of booming Dave Rose for
Democratic candidate for President
called out remeniscience of the NOM
nation of Franklin Pierce for Presi-
dent from a Seminal correspondent,
and reminds him of story he heard
several years ago in New Hampshire.
He says;-It was back in the days
when there was no telegraph or tele-
phone to carry the news to the people.
A farmer came into Concord. N. H..
about ten days after the nomination OF
Franklin Pierce for President OF Unit
ed States and he was told that his fell
low citizen had been nominated for
President.
He said: FRANKLIN Pierce nominal
ed for President of the whole United
States! Well! Well! Now Franklin
would do well enough for Concord, but

When Gcv. La Follttte voted the dog
tax bill and signed the one imposing
tonnage tax on vessels, was he try
ing to equalize taxes, or merely to fav-
or particular interests? 1t looks very
much though he merely desired to
court little favor with dog and ship
owners. No matter what vessel is
really worth, it only has to pay nom
inal tax under the present law. That
would make a real estate owner jump
for Joy if he could get off at the same
rate.-Arcadia Arcadian.

The governor having proclaimed in
his speech at Oconomowoc that prim-
airy election is to be one of the main
issues kof the campaign, it remains
now for the people to think whether
they want the present system torn up,
and an additional expense of about
500. 900 entailed at each general cleo
tor merely for the purpose of crafty
ing the personal ambition and fads of
Gov. La Toilette. Does it follow that
because member of the legisla ture is
nominated at a primary election in
stead of by a convention that he will
be any more honest or capableP Union

One thing that Gov. La Toilette
ought to explain is whether ne still
adheres to his primary election ideas,
or whether he is willing to accept the
dlctum of some of his leading organs,
and retire that monstrosity to the back
ground. Primary election bills have
little charm for thinking people, and
If the governor will consent to the
death and burial of the Stevens mon
strosity he will strengthen himself. =

Governor La Toilette appreciates the
value of having an armey of trained
workers in the field, and he also appre-
ciates what nice thing it is to have
he people pay the bills. So he calls
his trusted lieutenants, game wardens,
Oil inspectors, etc; and starts them out
to fix up fences all over the state.

from the state treasury, but do nothing

1t is settled fact that Gov. La Fol
lette does not admire John G. Spooner,
and will defeat his reelection to the
senate if possible. Now, if the people
really admire Spooner they should see
to it that it is not possible. This can
be done only by attending the caucuss-
es and nominating men for the legisla-
ture and the delegates to the state con-
vention who are aggressive Spooner
men. II Gov. La Toilette is crushed
in the process, 30 much the worse for
him. He has no right to ask the great
Republican party to indorse his private
hatre1s.-Lake Geneva News.
