Reoardin' Sin.

Sin, so they say, is mans great foe;
But stin I sort of doubt it,
For, candidly, I'd like to know
What life would be without IT,
And while too much is not so nice,
A little bit won't hurt you,
For, I maintain, without some vice
There couldn't be much virtue.
Now, 'sposin' every one you know,
ne all your friends and brothers,
Was all precisely thus and so.
And good as all the others;
Why, earth would be, you'd soon find cut,
One long. dull, dreary level,
II no one ever went about
A-kickin' up the devil.
The sight that makes a saint feel glad
Is Jest a few good samples
OF folks distressed by bein' bad
Some horrible examples"
And less we keep a few on hand
To illustrate our teachin',
Wen nave to close our churches and
The preachers give UP preachin'.
By closely tendin' to my fields
1 find, for all my labors,
I'm gettin' bigger, better yields
Than are my lazy %neighbors.
But stlil the pleasure would be small
To see my crops a-growin'
II crops growed jest the same for all,
Regardless of the hoein'.
And so / say some streaks OF wrong
A-lurkin' in a system
But serves to make a fellow strong
A-hghtin' to resist 'em.
For while the saint ell sin destroys
And walks jest 10 the letter,
The inner all the while enjoys
The hope Of dom better.

John G. Reeves, of Portland, famil-

national reputation as a rattlesnake
hunter, has recently gained fresh lau-
rels.
Last week thirty-six rattlers, rang
ing from fifteen inches to four and a
half feet in length, were killed by
him in the Somerset mountains, stu
ated in the eastern part of Portland.
Seventeen of various lengths were
killed within a space of about fifteen
square feet.
Some of the large snakes had nine
or ten rattlers, while some of the
smaller had but one or two: The
snakes we're beautifully striped. Ten
baby rattlers were found huddled to
gether near their nest, which was q
rock crevice.
Mr.. Reeves captures his snakes by
stealing up to them while they are
basking in the sun and pinning them
to the ground with a forked stick -four
or five feet in length. He then uses
a club.
Mr.. Reeves finds much sport IN rat

Governor Dole of the territory Of

This opinion is based on conditionq

eighteen over the previous year, while
the Hawaiian, Portuguese, Japanese
