RATTLESNAKES IN STONE,
Strange Explanation a. Peculiar
Markings on an indianapolis
Public Building.

One Of the plinths in the north front
Of the new federal building promises i'll
for the peace Of mind OF the inveterate
topper, for on Its surface, in delicate
tracery, is apparently the outline of
many rattlesnekes. An old stone man
from the Bedford guarries called atten-
ton to the freak several days ago, and
said that such markings were very I'M
usual. says the indianapolis News.
According to his story these snakes
existed many years ago, in prehistoric
times back in the era when the plots
forfairy stories were laid. Possibly these
snakes were cold, according to his story
anyway they coiled closely to one an
other, and in that form were petrified
and were gradually turned into stone
The stone expert also pointed out where
the rattles of the snakes may be seen
plainly.
One Of the most peculiar features OF
the stone is the fact that the tracery
shows most plainly during damp wealth
er, and II it were on the south side Of the
building. 1t is said, the sun would soon
bleach its delicate tracery until 1t would
be no longer discernible. On account OF
its present situation the sun seldom
reaches 1t, but when 1t does the outlines
OF the snakes completely disappear.

POETS HELD GOOD TEACHERS
A Writer of Verse Declares 7 ha I
Those Who Read Them Acquire
Greater PatriOtism

"If you heed to the political princi-
pies Of your country as recorded by
your poets, you cannot help but
acquire greater patriotism and become
better citizens" declared Bliss Perry,
editor Of the Atlantic Monthly, In a
lecture on TYPES of Political Poetry"
at the University of Chicago.
Mr. Perry reviewed the works Of
some Of the poets wholly apart from
their style and treatment of natures
subjects, but discussed their works as
affecting political matters Said he:
Poets telling Of their emotions are
not heard. but overheard. They usu-
ally are too egotistic to enter into a
discussion of practical things, but
when they do treat Of current events
they meet with popular favor. II we
study them sympathetically we can
not live quite as we do. We cannot
be as skeptical or as Indifferent as
we have been heretofore. In political
campaigns poetry Is often employed
in lauding or denouncing some can.
didate for verse in the hands of a
capable man Is a powerful political
instrument"

AN EFFECTIVE GAG.
How an Annoying Mule Was Kept
from RaspinE the Air with
His Bray.

1.-THE proper study Of mankind IS
man." but no one who reads the fol-
lowing story from the New York Tri-
bune would care to deny that there Is
something to be said on the side of the
elective system. The story was IA
vorite Renaissance OF former mer-
chant of New York, now dead.
II was once on cunning trip with
some of my friends" he used to say,
land in a field close to the house
where we slept a donkey was pas
tured. The animal kept us awake with
his braying. My friends, do what they
would, could not put stop to his
noise.
81 happened to know great deal
about donkeys. They abound in my
native province Of Posen. So | said to
my friends, 4 can stop the animals
noise, so that tonight he won't bray
once
They did not believe me, but that
evening I treated the donkey for his
complaint. He was silent all night.
The next morning my friends said
they wanted to see the donkey, then
they would be convinced They ex-
pected to find him dead. They found
him alive. A stone was tied to his
tail. That was all.
"They could not understand. how he
had been kept from braying, and they
asked me to explain.
"It is perfectly simple said I, TO
anyone who has studied the donkey.
An animal never brays without rails
ing his tail to the level of his body.
So long as it hangs down he will not
make sound My heavy stone, there
fore, served the purpose Of a gag"

FORTUNE HUNTERS.
Marriage of Many American Girls OF
Wealth to TITLED Foreigners
Turn Out unfortunately.

The marriage of many American
girls of wealth to titled foreigners Is
| just now receiving more than usual
attention. The disclosures regarding
the wedding experience CT some
of the brides who have left their
homes and native land to become the
wives of real or bogus noblemen of
| Europe are in many cases humiliating
and distressing.
Margaret Van Etten In cabled ar
| ticle from Vienna gives a few of the
| names of American women who have
| come to grief by such foreign alliances.
| There are thirteen on her list, and the
| number might b. increased by thor
ough study Of the newspaper files Ev-
| cry woman mentioned married title,
and most, If not all of them, were
| subjects Of extensive newspaper notice
when their weddings occurred. Their
| triumph was in the blaze of publicity;
their humiliation and suffering have
| been chiefly in private. In every case
cited these women have either secured
| divorces or are living apart from their
husbands
Some Of the daughters of Americans
Of wealth, says the Rochester Demo-
crat and Chronicle, have contracted
happy marriages with foreigners and
| by their subsequent lives have reflect
ed honor upon their native land in
| their new homes. There Is no reason
| why an English nobleman should not
| fall in love with rich American girl
and marry her, precisely as he might
have loved and married a poor Eng
, fish girl. 1t Is not such cases which
are open to criticism, but the numer-
Gus alliances which are clearly the pro-
duct of fortune-hunting negotiators.

EnqIiSh Coal in Demand

The American demand for English
coal is again in evidence, and many
large vessels are being loaded and
started for our country as rapidly
as possible. The demand for the eel
ebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
also largely increased, because more
people are learning of it's wonderful
curative powers in cases of stomach,
liver, kidney and bowel disorders, and
having tried one bottle they have been
convinced of its value and won't ac-
cept anything else in it's place. This
will be your experience, too, if you
will only give it a trial. 1t will build
