 "Whistling John" Hartsell has become very much attached to Dr. Stanfield on account of a tune the doctor whistled for him over the wire. John is a bright boy and will someday make his mark in the world, he is at pres ent furnishing gas for our city.
 The latest on our lawyer" is, that he Tagged a Cotton Belt cannon ball and when it stopped the conductor asked him what he wanted, he said, in a very dig nified tone, sir, Tam runningfor representative" The conductor said, that don t make any differ ence with me, get on." Then he said, T don't want to go off, will you wait till I canvas with the passengers?" But the train was behind time and of course did not wait. By doing that the con ductor has caused MT. T-- to become very angry and will proably cause him to resign. He has made some very heavy threats against the conductor, and we don't blame him.
 Last Sunday G. F. Wood and a | few other boys took a pleasure trip across the bayou, and from what we can learn it rained a little as they were on their way home. But our young friends did not mind this and would have made it all right, but as they were crossing the bayou, their wagon came uncoupled and they had to "disem bark" and repair their vessel before sailing furth- ar. Having fixed their wagon, they renewed their journey and SO proud was our old brother that he forgot it was the day of rest and was seeing how his voice would ring through the air till someone told him it was Sunday, and then he grew very luiet. The boys praise Babe Jaudle highly as a driver for they say he is so careful. When he sees he is going to hit stump he stops right there and decides which line to pull to miss it, thus many shocks.

Rattlesnake Venom.

Cynanide Of mercury, prussic acid,
strychnine and arsenic are strong pois-

made from the venom Of rattlesnakes
by Rattlesnake Pete at his Mill street
museum. So wonderful in its workings
Is this deadly powder that scientists
in all parts Of the civilized world are
engaged in studying its properties.
Some weeks ago Pete received COM
munication from Germany directed to
"Rattlesnake Pete, Rochester, Ameri-
ca" asking in what quantities the
venom from rattlesnake could be FUR
nished by the Rochester snake man and
what he charged for 1t.
When interviewed today, Pete said:

from Germany. 1t Is from DR.. Edwin

IN JORDAN's SACRED WATERS.
Pious Russian Pilgrims Ceremo-
nies In the Holy Land.

Pious Russian Pilgrims Cefemo-
MES In the Holy Land.
The traveller in the Holy Land will
witness few sights which will interest
him more than that Of the Russian pill
grims at the annual Epiphany cere-
monies on the banks Of the River Jor-
dan. A week before the festival itself,
crowds of these Slav peasants are seen
trudging along the Jericho road with
every imaginable kind Of haversack
and carryall on their backs. Some OF
the pilgrims are old and weatherworn,
others young and cheerful, while few,
overcome by loss Of sleep and fatigue,
are lying prone along the roadside.
But somehow the whole lot, young and
old, manage to reach the banks in good
time for the ceremony.
They spend the night, perhaps In the
Russian hospice at Jericho. where they
simply huddle together like flock Of
sheep. Before dawn the rooms are
empty and the whole crowd has gath
cred on the bank, where Greek priests,
who will presently drive most lucra-
tive trade, await them. The principal
articles sold are branches Of trees from
various sacred spots, stones from the
Mountain Of Temptation hard by,
plants from the wilderness and rosa
ries with olive stones for beads. To
whatever religious value is claimed for
these articles the Russian peasants
implicitly give credence, and they Will
ingly pay their money to obtain them.
During the hours Immediately pre-
ceding the ceremony the molly crowd
is occupied in prayer and silent deVo-
ton. To many pilgrims this occasion
is one Of the greatest life can bring,
namely, to be permitted not only to
visit the Jordan, but actually to bathe
in it's sacred waters. Suddenly chant
ing is heard, and the crowd quickly
opens to let a procession Of purple-clad
ecclesiastics pass to the waters, then
the pilgrims close in again and station
themselves along the banks, eager and
watchful. And now, quite reverently,
a jeweled cross Is laid by the patriarch
on the surface of the stream to bless
it, and no sooner does the sacred SYM
Dol touch the water than dive is made
into it by the enthusiastic crowd, which
splashes and sprays and receives the
baptism, and the longer it lasts the
greater the merit the pilgrim will en-
Joy.
All dripping with water, each shroud
Is now wrung out and slowed away to
serve as the cerement when the pill
grimage Of life Is over and the body
is ready for the grave. AS the travel
Ter rides away the next day to Jeru-
salem he will see these childlike pea
SAINTS, bedraggled with mud, and ia
tigued by constant sleeplessness, plod-
ding along toward the holy city, chant
ing and singing as they go and leaning
on their sticks Of reed. But there Is
now q smile on their faces and Joy In
their hearts, for have they not bath
ed in the waters Of Jordan?-London

Are Endorsed.

Trusts of Both Labor and Capital
Are Endorsed.
The presidents message to the second
term Of the fifty-seventh congress diff
fers from the last message principally

attention to peace and prosperity,

proper means for the control of monop-
olies. since the tariff aids the lesser
aggregations Of capital and protects 1t
from It's more formidable trust foes
Protective tariff is defended by the
president at length.
He advises that the time Is not pro-
pitious for any change in our financial
system.
Much attention is given labor and
capital and a plea is made for harmony
between these two great factors in the
commercial history Of the country.
The creation of secretary Of COM
merce is urged as an increase in the
cabinet.
The reciprocity treaty with Cuba
plays an important part in the message,
the president still maintaining his
views. which are yet pronounced, on
this subject.
The good work Of the Hague tribu-
nal is ably endorsed and plea is made
for the settlement Of all quarrels wher-
ever possible, by arbitration.
The construction Of the interoceanic
canal Is urged in emphatic language.
An interesting history Is given Of the
Pacific cable and the good results an
ticipated from its completion.
Peace is again declared in the Phil

United States army In the islands.
A better army, more officers and the
increase in the standing Of the army Is
insisted upon.
The president calls attention to the
good resulting from the maneuvers Of
the army and navy and suggests Its
continuance.
Rural mail delivery is endorsed and
the further increase in the system
meets with the presidents approval.
The irrigation and reclamation OF
arid lands Is given special attention.
Legislation for Alaska Is called for.
The Indian situation is reviewed at
length and suggestions are given.
The bureau Of information for the
farmers Is declared one Of the country's
best investments.

events of the vacation Of congress.

FOR vWSECTION.
DR.. Keene Has An Almost I'm
answerabIe Argument.
His Experiments Enabled Him to Save
Midshipman Aiken's Life.
He Asks Gallinger to Cease Opposition
to Vivisection.

Philadelphia, Dec. DIR. VIM.
Keere. the eminent surgeon of this
city, who was recently summoned to
Annapolis to perform an operation on
Midshipmen Aiken TO relieve him of
the effects of injuries received i'm
football game, attributed the success
of his operation to knowledge gained
through experiments in vivisection.
DR.. Keene has addressed a letter set
ting forth the facts in the case to
Senator Gallinger, whom he regards as
one of the leaders of the anti-vivisec-
'tionists in this country.
DR.. keene. in his letter says that had
Midsiipman Aiken'S case come to his
attention Is years ago he would have
been unable TO explain spasms of the
right arm, which, in view of expert
ments upon animals since that time.
indicated plainly the exact location of
the eliot uDon the brain.
In conclusion the letter says: I'm
view of the evident and positive bene-
fit of such experiments l trust that you
will be willing to desist from further
efforts at such repressive and, as | re-
gard it, most inhumane and cruel legis-
latiOn."
