The physician was overtaken by q
storm on cold winter night, and
rather than drive ten miles home, he
put up at the tavern keepers house.
He and his host sat for an hour or two
before they went to bed at table on
which bottle Of whiskey stood.
They talked pleasantly, but neither
took anything to drink. What, there
fore, was the physicians surprise in
the morning to find on his bill q
charge of SO cents for whiskey.
"Why, man, I drank none Of your
whiskey,' he said to tho tavern keep
er.
Maybe you didn't" the other re-
piled, "busi you might as well. 1t
was there on the table for you
The physician paid the 80 cents,
and week or two later he put up at
the Tavern again. This time he ran
up bill Of good size. What with
the things he ate and drank and smok-
ed seated with the landlord at the
table, his medicine case before him,
his account came to something like
So.
In the morning when he got his bill
1t was So exactly-he gave the land
lord, instead Of cash, receipted bill
Of his own for like amount. At
this bill the landlord started.
Medicine, $5.QO!' he exclaimed.
"What does this mean? I haven't
taken any Of your medicine!'
"But, my friend, why did'nt you?"'
said the physician. cit lay before you

Snake Hypnotisnl.

f f ! Z
{ t9 Graham Inssvh, Inssvvh weii.known author
ity on snakes, was asked his opinion
regarding snakes hypnotic powers.
His reply was as follows:
There is certain power to fasoi-
nate 10 snakes eyes and movements.
saw only the other day a typical il.
lustration Of the power of snake to
fascinate.
"Over in the pine woods saw
ground squirrel fascinated by a black
gopher snake. The forked tongue
darted out of the snake 8 mouth almost
as regularly and rapidly as the needle
OF sewing machine rises aud falls.
The squirrel seemedto watch it spell
bound, Tho snake crept slowly near
er. When the gopher snake was with
in TWO OR three inches of the squirrel
1T gave leap and threw three coils
about tho squirrel. Instantly the
spell was gone. The fascination or
charm there had been over the little
animal vas no doubt broken tho very
moment tho serpcnt's coils were about
the squirrel, for the animal gave
three coDvulsive, terrified chirps and
realized that its death moment had
come.
Il believe implicitly that all snake
have certain degree of power to fas :
oinate their victims to death. Black
snakes, gopher snakes and racers have
the power of large degree. Rattle
snakes have the most fascinating pow-
er among all the poisonous serpents in
the southwest. The Indications of
charming among poisonous snakes are
deceiving sometimes. Poisonous snakes
fang their prey once only. The poison
does not kill at once. The victim
futters to a branch. it may be, or runs
short distaRue aud stop'. The
snaxe watches it. The poison does
it's deadly work, and the bird falla.
Any one who comes up, not having
seen the attack, might be readily de-
eoi7ed into imagining that it was the
glancc of>the snake and not the poison
that caused the victim to l."-De-

stated that experiments have been
carried on by Uncle Sam in the Iii.
nois city Of Kan Kakee for some time
in the making Of paper from eorn-
stalks sud that success had been
achieved to such an extent that as
soon as the 1908 crop Of stalks shall
have reached the proper stage Of ria
turity the machinery will be ready to
begin the manufactures Of paper on an
extended commercial scale.
Samples Of the corn paper have
been received at the department.
Three grades are made one from the
shell Of the stalk, one from the pith
and e third from the husk or shuck.
The paper made from the pith is, ao-
3cording to department experts, nearly
equal to fine grade Of linen goods.
II is also stated that the production Of
paper to the given quantity Of raw ma
terial is anch as to justify large re-
turns and.i tnas manner permit the
payment 70 the farmers Of more money
than the stalks are worth for feeding.
In order also that the stalks may be
obtained at the proper stage Of matur-
sity machine has been invented aud
is now being built that takes the en-
tire plant, ear and all, in at one end
and after husking out the ears breaks
up the remainder into tho form in
which it is needed for further treat
ment, This will enable the paper
makers to buy che stalks in the field,
husk Out the grain, and then lei the
farmer haul it away. There is q

ARE AFTER SUSPECTS.
Officers i'm Search of Men Con-
nected With Chinese Murder.

At midnight Monday Jim Sullivan
and Harry Manon, who had been
specially deputized, procured John
Doe warrants and went in search OF
two men who have been prominently
identified as having taken part in the
Chinese murder and outrage on the
18th of last month.
The men had big start over the
officers, but from L. l.. Patrick, who
came in last night from Tokop, it is
learned that on Thursday the dep
uties were only few hours behind
the men and had hopes of catching
them before they reached the Califor-
MIA line The men had been travelling
with burros and have made numerous
stops along the road. One of them
is said to have been present at the
killing of Chong Bing Long, and it is
also said that he got away with big
part of the money secured. The men
are the same ones that ex- Deputy
Sheriff Jones had located and for
whom he had warrants at the time
he was removed by Sheriff Gushing
