"Talkin' about rattlesnakes, said
an Erie railroad brakeman, "did you
ever hear how the mosquitoes saved a
mans life up near Gulf Summit, in
Pennsylvania, last summer?
"Well, while getting out railroad
ties over back of the Summit Abe
Morehouse was bitten in the leg by
rattlesnake. A doctor was at once
sent for and the leg was bandaged
tightly above the wound. 1t was ex-
pected that Morehouse would die be-
fore the doctor could come up the pike
on his wheel, but he didn't. Just as
soon as the leg was barred to put on
the bandage it was attacked by a
swarm of mosquitoes, and when the
doctor arrived he found the man as
well as ever and lively as a cricket,
but the ground was covered with dead
and dying mosquitoes. They had
sucked the poison from MOrehOuse E
wound and saved his life. This was
hard on the mosquitoes, but l presume
Warehouses; life was worth saving.

Good Advice.

Theodore Roosevelt was not always
the fluent orator and ready extern
poraneous speaker that he is to-day,
but this is not a matter of surprise, as
precocity is never proof Of greatness,
although it has in many instances
characterized those who atterwsrd be-
came great. Theodore Roosevelt was
wide-awake, hustling youth, good at
his books, but better at his sports, a
lover of all outdoors, and healthy,
hearty, sturdy American boy. AT
school he was required to write essays,
deliver orations, speak pieces, " just
as are all school boys in these modern
days, and his old playmates still de-
light to relate how "Ted" brought
the house down by his method of rem
dering that old standby, Marco Bo-
zzaris.
Everybody knows at least the be-
ginning Of the stirring poem
At midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk lay dreaming Of the hour
When Greece, her knees in supplance
bent,
Should tremble at his power.
When young Roosevelt's turn came
to speak he rose with all confidence,
and began
At midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk lay dreaming OF the hour
When Greece, her knees
Then his memory failed him, and
he repeated
Greece, her knees
In vain; his memory stubbornly re-
fused to work. Once more he shout
ed desperately
Greece, her knees
The old professor looked over his
spectacles and encouragingly re-
Marked
Greece her knees once more, The
odore; perhaps she'll go then.

Two Snake Stories.

Dick Brannings pet rattlesnake IS
the chief curiosity of Deep Hollow,
says a Susquehanna correspondent of
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Last spring,
when Branning was blasting bluestone
rocks on the mountains, great mass
of rattlesnakes was thrown up high in
to the air by the discharge Of dyna-
mite. Nearly all of the serpents were
killed outright, but one Of the biggest
of the lot escaped with serious wounds.
Branning, out of curiosity, picked
up this rattler, carried it to the house
and placed it in box Of cotton, and
was delighted to seeit recover. When
the stage of convalescence had passed,
the snake crawled about the yard, and
in a few weeks ventured into the
house, where it soon became pet.
1t was named Pete. The big snake
seemed to be grateful for the care
lavished upon it, and endeavored to
show it in various ways. 1t will
amuse the baby for hours by shaking
its rattlers, and it will twist itself in
many ways for the edifcation Of the
family. Pete has become a famous
ratter, and not rodent dare ap-
proach the house. When a tramp or
peddler approaches he will coil him
self up on the doorstep and prepare to
strike. The intruders invariably re-
treat.
One night last week Mr.. Branning
and his wife were suddenly awakened
by Pete's loud rattling The snake
had crawled upon the bed and gave
unmistakable evidence that something
was wrong. Mr. Branning immedi-
ately fastened down stairs, where he
found a barrel OF rubbish in flames,
threatening the building with de-
struction. Pete had discovered the
state OF affairs and given the alarm.
Mr.. Branning has been offered big
price for his queer pet, but it is not
for sale.

The Other Mans Pass.

"Traveliug on another fellows pass
is sometime a dangerous thing" said
a man quoted by the Philadelphia
Times.
Not so long ago I had occasion to
20 to Pittsburg, and borrowed a pass
from friend of mine who was a ply
siciau, in addition to being one OF
those favored by the railroad. The
conductor took up the pass with the
others, for over night, as is the Gus
tom, and l thought everything was all
right. But about three o'clock in the
morning l was aroused from a sound
slumber in my berth by one shaking
me. l looked up startled. 1t was
the conductor. Sorry to disturb you,
doctor, he said, but there's man IN
the car very sick. Won't you take a
look at him Here's a pretty hI,
thought I, but III have to make the
bluff good or forfeit the pass. So
got up, slipped on my clothes and
looked at the patient. He was breath
ing heavily. felt his pulse solemn
ly, measured it by my watch, and
then said, as though I knew just what
allied him: is there anyone here who
has a fask?'
Il had half dozen offers in a min
ute. Give him two teaspoons OF
whiskey every ten minutes, said l,
and bathe his head with ice water.
knew that prescription wouldn't hurt
hlm anyway, After the first dose the
patient rallied, and was just congrat-
ulating myself, when the conductor
came up with another passenger
Here's fellow physician. doctor, he
said. Perhaps a consultation will be
in or Ter. l shook hands with the
newcomer, trembling in my boots
What have you given him doctor?
he asked sharply. l told him. 'E1-
cellent, be said. The patient got
better, and the next morning when
we alighted in Pittsburg, the joke be-
ing too good to keep, made a clean
breast of it to the physician. de
laughed. so you're not doctor at
all, eh?' he said. Then he laughed
again and looked about cautiously
Say, old man, he said in whisper
that's good one Neither am |.

COYOTE Drive In Arizona q.

Unless there is cessation in the
slaughtering of fcoyotes Maricopa coun-
ty is in danger of bankruptcy, says the
Denver Post.
For two weeks the County Treasur-
er has been engaged in paying bOun-
ties on the sc.lps Of the little desert
wolves in such increasing numbers
that the employment Of special clerks
has been neces.itatsd.
The concentration Of immense tiocks
of sheep in the valleys north of Ph@-
nix has attracted hordes Of coyotes,
until the sheep-owner, have lost as
many animals to the hungry lshmae-
lites of tn. plains ss will more than
balance their returns from their crop
of wool
Desperate measures have been
adopted and hundreds Of the rs'ding
brutes have fallen victims to strych-
nine, traps and the armed guards OF
the sheep hocka
These methods created no apparent
decrease in the swarm Of coyotes, and
recently an immense roundup of the
beasts was held in the Cave creek
county.
All Of the cow-punchers in the coun-
try round about were pressed into SER
vice. and a scor. of Indians from the
Maricopa Reservation were brought
into the chase, the Maricopas having
no religious scruples against killing
the coyote, as has his Pima relative.
Two hundred horsemen and as many
dogs of all breeds were utilized, and
in four hours a gradually closing cir
Gle of hunters aud dogs had secured
over 20 square miles Of desert aud
hills, and a racing, lodging and yelp-
ing mass OF coyotes were forced into
small box canyon, accompanied by a
lot of Jack rabbits, frightened into
frenzy between the chase and their
forced association with their hereil-
tary enemies, the coyotes.
Closely guarded on all sides, not a
victim escaped, and from all sides a
volley of rifle and revolver shots laid
low the wolves as they lodged or tned
to hide among the rocks, and then, as
nightfall came on, the dogs turned
upon the remaining coyotes.
The ferce,t kind of fight ensued,
the coyotes, driven to bay, battling in
manner that cost the live. of many
dogs before the overpowerlng force OF
the assailng body could lay out the
last victim.
For nearly an hour the fight wagsd,
and when all was over and the count
made the following morning 2O9 OF
the coyotes, over 100 jack-rabbtsa and
half a hundred dead and mutilated
dogs made up the result Of the chase.
