"The mortality resulting from such

Rats and VAMPIRES

At sunset in the forest of Guiana the
bats fit from their hiding places, some
taking the place of the parrots ana
fiocking around the fruit trees. While
the horrid vampires wander far ana
near in search of some sleeping ami

a meal. Cows. goats, hogs. fowls as

suffer from their attacks If not Sc
cured in we'll latticed pens. While the
traveller must not be surprised when
awaking to find blood oozlnG from

In some places domestic animals can
not be kept at all, as they are so weak
ened by repeated attacks as to ulti-
mately die of exhaustion. Fortunately,
however, the vampires are not very
common, and with proper care may be
excluded from dwelling houses ana
stock pens.-Longman's Magazine.

The detached block was then pushed
forward upon rollers made from palm
trees to Il large timber raft on the edge
of the Nile. where it remained until
the next inundation tloated the raft to

set up.
Thousands of hands then pushed it
on rollers up an inclined plane to the

stand. The pedestal had previously
been placed in position, and Il firm

into an upright position. In no case

How the Great Lawyer Won a Hope

An old and we'll known traveller, who
has recently settled in Chicago. while
coming in from Pewee valley the other
afternoon told an interesting story
about Henry Clay, the great Kentucky
statesman. The story teller in his
youth lived in Mr.. Clay's district dur
ing the time when Henry Clay was ut
his prime as lawyer.
"a man was once being tried for
murder" said the narrator. land his
case looked hopeless indeed He had
without any seeming provocation muir
dered one of his neighbOrs in cold
blood. Not lawyer in the county
would touch the case. 1t looked bad
enough to ruin the reputation of any
barrster.
The man as a last extremity ap-
pealed to Mr.. Clay to take the case for
him. Every one thought that Clay
would certainly refuse. but when the
celebrated lawyer looked into the mat
ter his fighting blood was reused. and,
to the great surprise of all. he accept

"Then came a trial the like of which
l have never seen. Clay slowly car
ried Oh the case. and it looked more
and more hopeless. The only ground
of defense the prisoner had was that
the murdered man had looked at him
with such a fierce, murderous look that
out of self defense he had struck first.
A ripple passed through the jury at
this evidence.

defense. 1t was settled in the minds
Of the spectators that the man was
guilty Of murder in the first degree.
Clay calmly proceeded. laid all the
proof before them in his mastery way,
then, just as he was about to con-
clude, he played his last and master
card.
"'Gentlemen of the jury he said,

and carrying the most undying hatred

BURIED UNDER SNOW.


The Great Storm That Overwhelmed
New England In 1917.
In the spring of 1717 an amount of
snow fell in New England that has not
been equaled during the three centu-
ries of it's history. The great storm
began in February and buried the
earth to the depth of ten to twenty
feet. Cattle We're buried in it and

drifts. and hundreds Of sheep persisted.
Wild animals grew SO desperate from

killing them at such Il rate that deer

Many one story house was entirely
covered with snow. and even the CHM
neys in some instances could not be
seen. Tunnels led from house to house.
and snowshoes were in frequent requi-
sition.
Stepping out of the chamber win
dow. some people ventured to explore
the fields of snow. One young man in
Newbury. Mass, was paying his adj
dresses to a lady who lived three miles
away and had not seen her for week
after the storm This state Of things
could no longer be endured. and. mount
ing his snowshOes. he went over the
hills to enter her house as he had left
his own-by way of a chamber win
dow. AS he was the first person the
family had seen since the storm. his
visit was highly appreciated.

EVILS OF MONOPOLlES.
How the Trust Problem Appears to
Attorney General Knox.

In an address delivered before the
chamber CT commerce, Pittsburg.
Attorney General p. c. Knox made
the following deductions: If trusts,
so-called, are being illegally conduct
ed Congress, has the power to enact
laws, the enforcement of which will
effectually eradicate the evils. A law
which would cover contracts and
combinations in restraint of trade, as
defined by the common law, would ex-
clude all hurtful combinations and
conspiracies. Congress can, If it sees
fit, adopt that law. l challenge the
proposition that we are hopelessly
helpless under our system OF govern
ment, to deal with serious problems
which confront us in respect to our
greatest interests. Public sentiment
is sufficiently aroused and the situa-
tion sufficiently grave to call for the
efforts the President is making to Sc
cure an authoritative exposition of
existing laws and suggesting addi-
tional ones. Every constitutional
question is an open one until it is de-
cided by the supreme court. May not
Congress, under the commerce
clause, effectively amend and extend
the law to deal with the trust ques-
ton? Who shall say that the power
of Congress does not extend so far?
| think it does. | am quite sure no
one can now say it does not.
