HATFIELD-M'COY FRIENDS.
Sons of the Feudists Like David and
Jonathan, in the Navy.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Two boys, who at birth became prin-
cipals in one of the bitterest feuds the
lawless mOuntaineers of the South have
ever known-two boys whose families
for a decade have been involved in
merciless war-have buried their
hereditary hatred to become comrades
in Uncle Sans navy.
These lads, Perry Mccoy and "Anse"
Hatfield-according to the code their
families cherish-should be seeking
each other with guns or knives in the

side by side on the training ship Min

If they were faithful to the pre-

Mccoy and Hatfield would utilize I'm
Gle Sans weapons of war to extermi-
nate each other but instead they are
learning together how to fight for the
Stars and Stripes.
They are the first of their clans thus
to admit the supremacy of the govern
ment. For twenty years at least the
McCoys and the Hatfields have ignored

Were League Island Navy Yard un-
der the Jurisdiction of either the Gov
ernor Of West Virginia or the Chief
Executive of Kentucky the militia
would be called out if a Mccoy and a
Hatfield approached as closely as do
Perry and "Anse."
One Of the hard and fast rules of
comfy between the two states is that
the McCoys shall remain within the
Kentucky line and the Hatfields in
West Virginia. When it is violated
down there, death ensues.

Sterling Heilig writes from Paris in
letter to the New York Press about
the selfishness of the American colony
in that city. He says:
The ladies of our colony in Paris
have let a young Sirl of their own
race starve to death in their very
midst while feeding her on bonbons
and thin o'clock tea.
The gentle tragedy, although it made
small stir-because the girl was very
proud in life and now is silent in her
grave-directs attention to the one

About week ago they signed for
four years service as sailors at Hunt

proteges of Gunner Morgan aboard

Each, however, feels that the frater-

Therefore they say nothing of the

Mccoy said yesterday. "Pd do any

logical Society secured a twenty-six
foot python 1t refused to eat anything
and as there seemed to be no inclina-
ton on the part of the snake to save
itself from starvation the authorities
decided that extreme measures must be
taken. The food, which consisted of
two rabbits and four guinea pigs, was
prepared The animals were fastened
to the end of a long pole. The snake
was firmly grasped by twelve men end
brought out in the center OF the reptile
house. It's mouth was opened and the
food was pushed into it by the aid of

forts to break away and it was only
by the combined efforts of the men
that he was held quiet enough to allow
the astronomical operation to be per-
formed.
