FEED PYTHON BY FORCE
TO PREVENT SUICIDE.
Big Snake in New York Has to Have
Food Thrust Down Its Throat.

.
The giant python in the New York
geological gardens was recently saved
from committing suicide by the dras-
TIC measures of Prof. Ditmars, curator
OF reptiles for the New York Zooiogi-
cal society.
Scientists say that animals are as
much given to killing themselves as
members of the human race. Quite
a percentage of the deaths of beasts
and reptiles In captivity is due to self
destruction, and whether a longing
FOR It's native wilderness can so work
upon the feelings Of a snake as to
make him seek death is a question
which Prof. Ditnars hopes some day
to answer.
The monster python at the geological
gardens was starving himself to death.
For more than year he had not
touched food. He is probably the
largest snake in America, 27 feet long.
IL inches in diameter and weighs 300
pounds AS the most valuable speci-
men me-, of his kind in captivity, Prof
D1tmars determined to go as far as to
risk the lives of himself and men in
saving it.
With Is assistants he undertook the
rather delicate job of forcing the
monster to eat Three men entered
the cage. In it were several other
writing pythons. To keep them from
struggle Of their -conrade big blankets
were thrown over them. Then, be-
fore they could extricare. themselves.
the down. hearted giant who was try
Ing to kill himself was seized by the
body just back of the head, and with
quick movement the three men
thrust his neck out Of the cage. I'm
med1ately it was seized from the out
side, and as foot after foot of the shin
ing monster was dragged out, the Is
men pinioned it in their hands and
arms.
Then the struggle began. Back and
forth swayed the men like children.
Yhe body of the serpent quivered and
Writhed in it's attempts to envelop it's
captors in it's deadly folds. On long
stick Prof. Ditmars had strung to-
gether six guinea pigs, and at a mo-
ment when the snake had relaxed it's
commissions it's jaws were forced upen
and the guinea pigs thrust in. Then it
was jerked out, minus the pigs. The
python seemed to realize that it's at
tenapts at self-destructIon were being
feiled. With all the power of his
giant body he twisted "a ton and
half of men about as though they
posing team. Had he once been al
lowed to gain a little advantage he
would have crushed the life from some
| of his captors.
I.ss Again and again the men Rugged
| the great serpents body up to their
breasts to keep it from getting away.
4 Finally the python quieted. The pro-
| gress5 of the guinea pigs could be
marked by a. big lump going slowly
| down the body of the snake When
it reached about the middle it stopped.

But dear is life foEzall its strife,
And love is better than hate
If you'n Just Shake hands with fate.

And your lips in a curve to the sky;
spring in your walk and ring in your

Sure, hope will not pass you by, :.
The path that you will winds over the hill,
But it leads to an open gate;
So trill you song to lure love along,
And just shake hands with fate.
IT'S in yourself is the demon elf,
It's in yourself is God
And you'll never stay from yourself
Gods light or the devils prod.
Wherever your mind you'll meet in kind,
And what is yourself create;
The world will view what is really you
Therefore, shake hands with fate!

What the Ballots Tell.

LECTIONS which occurred in
forty-two states of the union on
Tuesday again give a solid south
to the Democrats and victories gener-
ally to the Republicans of the north.
Again they have demonstrated the I'M
reliability of election forecasts In
the close states. The great surprise
took place in New York state, where
Governor Odelrs Republican majority
of 10000 two years ago was reduced
to something like 10000. If the counties
of Erie, Monroe and Albany had veri-
fed ante-election forecasts, Coler,
Democrat, would have been elected
governor of the state and a legislature
which would name a senator to sue
coed Boss Platt
The Democrats have gained surely
three congressman in California, one
in Delaware, one in Iowa, one in In
diana, one in Kentucky, two in Mary
land, one in Massachusetts, two in
Missouri, one in Nebraska, two in New
York. one in New Jersey one in Rhode
Island, three in Texas, one in West
Virginia, two in Wisconsin. This gain
is considerable but not enough to dis
turb the working Republican majority,
not enough to initiate any attack upon
the tariff or trusts with any hope of
successful issue.
Democrats have become familiar with
defeat, and few were sanguine OF a
result other than the one turned out.
Indeed, the result is not without hope
the future may change. In those states
where Republicans were divided in
their tariff convictions, many of them
rank heretics in the camp of Protec-
ton, the ballots have shown gains for
the Democrats. Although the result
does not indicate that there will be any
change in the attitude of the Republi-
can party toward the trusts, the ballots
show an underlying sentiment against
them except in Pennsylvania, where it
should have shown the most. No mat
ter how meritorious the issue which
the opposition presents, Pennsylvania
will vote against it, and for Quay and
big Republican majorities.
In New York state it is different
