Speaking of "Snaix.D

''Speaking of snakesn said H. p.
Nelson, of Dubois, to Bradford Era
man, snakes are certainly peculiar
creatures. Now you take rattlesnakes
and put them in captivity-they'lIs stay
there for years without eating. Gener-
ally they become stupefed, but they
can be aroused all right. They just
seem to live on air. In Cameron
county, where I grew up, there is an
immense number ofrattlesnakes. Near
Driftwood, a man blew up den of
them one day. At least 100 of the rep
tiles were killed in one buuch. have
killed many of them myself. One way
which had of dealing with the snakes
was to shoot their head off. After de-
capitaing them in this manner, Pd slit
slit them open and take out the fat.
Fve often secured Il dollars worth of
oil in one snake. There is some talk
about rattles indicating how old
snake IS. The fact is that rattles are
not sure means of telling. Some big
snakes and old ones have but few
rattles. They have lost them during
their lives and that is something that
occurs to many of them.
81 had bird dog that used to kill
rattlers whenever he had q chance to
do SO. He would never attack them
while they were lying still. But when
they made move and started to crawl
toward him or away from him, he
would grab them in his teeth, break
tlleir tcE1y8a u SHAKE them to
death. lie was too qui TX for them
and they never bit him.
II am not punning when l say that
rattlesnake should never be'allowed to
rattle man. Just watch the reptile
and give it a quick smash with a club,
stone or other missile, or shoot it, and
that ends the incident right there.
"Snake hunting is regarded as a
pastime in Cameron county. know
used to enjoy it. There is just enough
danger about it to keep up interest"

If you are going to buy a piano,
great care should be taken in selecting
a high grade make piano. The Scho-
macker, gold string pianos have re-
ceived the highest honor ever accorded
to any maker in the world. Cheap
make pianos may sound well and look
nice at firsty but for short time only,
it being impossible to keep them in
tune and in a short time you will be
dissatisfied, 1t pays to buy the best,
and the best are not so expensive.

wherever eXhibited-will be glad to

A DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT FROM

has made point which should be earn

II Will DC remembered thHs the admin.
irtratlon at Washington several months

ment Of Russia On the subject Of the sugar
bounty. In Russia all refined sugar is
subject TO an internal tax, as tobacco and
liquor In this country. All Russian sugar re-
hners pay this internal tax on their total
product. but receive certificates emitting
them to repayment on all sugar they ex'
port. This Is strong encouragement to
Russian refnerS 10 export, and practically
amounts to a bounty
This q the position our administration
took. 1t was claimed at Washington that
the remission or repayment Of the duty
was bounty and our government I'M
posed countcryaiiug duty on all Russian
sugar brought into the country.
There Is proverb. however, about
scratching Russian and finding q Tartar.

lied when NJ Dc Witte published Ms let
