MANILA RAT-TRAPS.
Big Snake ON His Arm That Is
Death to Rodents.

Have you seen the big snake and
the small boy? Well, they will be
around to see you.
1t is displeasing combination, but
one whose aims possess quadruple
qualities-may be likened to a game
of cards-high, low, jack and the
game The mission of boy and snake
is high-the conservation of the pub
lie health, the calling low-the CATCH
ing of rats, the boys name is Jack
and the game? Well, it is both
rodents and bounty, says the Manila
Volcano.
The manner in which the boy,
through the snakes exertions, comes
IN possession of rat and bounty is
unique. The boy, with the reptile on
his arm and gunnysack in hand, en-
tiers the court of a residence, and
usually, after much palaver in cor
rupt language, secures permission to
begin the crusade. With vigilant and
keen eye he inspects the premises.
In this inspection he displays train
ing the most systematic and acute
the gamin can discover a rate hole
quicker than a semi-nude savage on
the firing line, hot in escape from
American occupation and American
soldiery.
But the finding by Jack of one
hole, while it pleases, doesn't satisfy
his ambition-he wants to find two
one of entrance, the other of egress.
When he has located to his satisfac-
ton the two holes he uncoils the re-
pulsive creature from his arm, and
planting both feet upon it brings
forth from hidden recess of trousers
a small net, the meshes of which are
very fine. While the serpent wrig-
giles and twists and darts forth from
muzzle its forked tongue, Jack, by
crafty dexterity, places the net over
the reptiles head and securely
fastens it with sinew.
This done, the snake resumes it's
arm hold and is conveyed to one of
the holes. The boy squats and forces
the head of the creature into the
hole. The snake, by some unknown
force-instinct or something else-is
certainly appraised of what it's master
wants, for it's body slowly enters the
hole and disappears. The small, en-
Drowned boy runs to the other hole,
places the sack over it and awaits the
result, with an anxious, what-will-the-
harvest-be look on countenance.
Sometimes the boys face CLOVIS with
capitalistic triumph, for a number OF
rats Iscamper into the bag; sometimes
neither rats nor snake appear, and
then the boy feels bad. Nothing re,
mains for him to do but wait. He does
so, and his patience is finally reward.

whose hunt has been without quarry.
The boy is so small and the snake so
big that he has grownlopsided in carry

Indicted.

Detectives James c. Howard and
John E. Morrissey are the first men,

same transaction, the men have been
indicted separately and will be tried

HOLD THE LIMOGES TO ACCOUNT.

Great Britain may well afford to honor and highly
reward Lord Kitchener and all the officers and enlisted
men of her army who served with distinction in the
claim for duty well done under exceptionally irving
conditions.
But for such men as lingo Joe Chamberlain, now
that the war of their making is ended after a CHASTITY
sacrifice of British blood, treasure and prestige, there
should be an accounting which they will remember
with shame to the end Of their days. Too proud to
rebuke and punish these men while the war was still
with them as they deserve.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain Is the most costly
Englishman to England that has ever been bred. The
next great war in which England figures will b.
directly chargeable to his account. For reasons of
colossal personal selfshness-to advance himself to the
British Premiership and to promote the fortunes of
Cecil Rhodes, his master-Chamberlafn precipitated
was s%ingularly unprepared. The result has been ap-
paling in It's effect upon England's militant standing
in the eyes Of her enemies. 1t has unouestionably
moved, the other European Powers TO a more aggress-
I'VE spirit toward Great Britain. That n war will be
the ultimate outcome of this readjustment of est.
mates is the common European belief.
lingo Joe Chamberlain should find that his politf
wrought enough injury, through selfshness, to his
country. The Premiership ought not to 60 to

WORLD'S-19O4-FAIR.
BoER BLOOD IN THIS COUNTRY.

OOAN 00NON @N AAAAS
Mr.. ". D. synman Of Cape Colony, who. has been
in this country for some months, after having served
with the Beers In the field, expresses the hope that the
United States Government will open the way for Boer
settlements in such States as New Mexico, Arizona,
Texas or Colorado.
Mr.. Synman himself is subject to Imprisonment
for having taken up arms against England, the Cape
Colony Beers being British subjects. All the colonial
Beers thus offending against an alien ruler are to be
punished, and for this reason, Mr.. Synman explains,
many Of them, especially those already refugees from
their native land, are DESTROYS Of coming to the United
States. "They would make good citizens" ne says.
mo one would need to be ashamed of them"
Internationally these people would be welcomed by
Americans as bringing a fresh strain of lrberty-loving
blood into this country. By all means, If they are to
become political exiles from South Africa, We may
well afford to offer inducements for them to assume
American citizenship and to settle in States where the
pastoral conditions make an especial appeal to them.
The mutual advantage would be ut least even-we
badly need men who are so faithful to the teachings
Of the American Revolutionary patriots as are these
tndcmitable people.
While the Federal Government does not possess the
authority to give them special privileges, there are an
abundance Of land and a hearty welcome awaiting all
the Cape men who choose to settle in America.
