RAT WON THE FIGHT.
Unique Contest at the North Caro-
 lima State Museum.
Big R0dent ana Five-Foot Bull Snake Engaged Ln Three-Round COn- test Which Certainly Was
 Worth Seeing.

At the last state fair in Raleigh, N. C., travelling snowman exhibited 8 woman snake charmer. He had several hundred live snakes in boxes for the use of his performer, which had been shipped to him by snake farmer in Texas. The reptiles were of the non- poisonous kind, and many of them were five feet long and two inches thick.
 One of the places of the show was in q booth between the county court house and the United States post office building One day after the show was over and the snake charmer and com pany had gone bull snake of the size stated crawled out from where the booth had been to the sidewalk, and was seen and caught and carried to the state museum and turned over to the curator. The snake was pronounced a fine specimen of his species and ap- peared to be vicious.
 About this time one of the employees of the museum was engaged In catch ing rats, and one morning he exhibited large rat, much larger than is usually seen, and that looked like good sized hAh4A z SAs oCNAh& WA@b & nag ShIhNChU fellow the rodent was it was decided 10 have \ fight between the snake and the rat. The cage in which the snake was confined was about seven feet long and five feet wide and five high, with glass on the ends and on one side. This cage was cleaned out and the snake was put back, and h stretched out and lay as if asleep. The rat was then dropped in and he ran up into the cor ner near the tail of the snake to view the cage.
 The snake apparently did not take any notice of the rat, but the rat soon took in the situation. His eyes were fixed on the snake and he was panting from excitement. Several minutes elapsed, and neither antagonist moved, and the spectators had begun to think there would be no fight, when the snake almost imperceptibly moved, and at this instant the rat sprang from the corner to the head of the snake, dis tance of six feet--and seized the snaka just behind his head and sank his teeth

DREAMS CAME TRUE.
Bank Robbery Revealed to Cashier
 in Night Vision.
Murderer Captured on Strength of Informntion That Came i'm
 Dream F0rGer's Den Re- vealed to Little Girl.

The cashier of a bank went home one evening at his usual hour, ate his dinner, and, feeling rather tired, lay down on the sofa and dropped off to sleep. Suddenly he awoke with start and said to his wife: Eve had such ] an odd dream. I was back st the bank and two men came in. They paid no attention to me, but set to work to open the safe. They seemed to have difficulty in doing it, and one of them then said they must move, it before they could do any good. l went up to try to stop them, but they did not seem to see me. Just then woke up," Instead of laughing at him his wife said seriously that it might be warm ing. The husband took cab and went back as fast as he could to the bank. He found the door forced! Hurriedly calling couple of police, the three en- tered and found two men exactly re- sembling those the cashier had seen in his dream. They had pulled the safe out of it's corner and were drilling it in order to insert an explosive.
 In 1894 wealthy publisher of Bos- ton suddenly found himself to be the victim of series of forgeries so large in amount that they threatened his credit He set detectives to work at once, but all in vain. But one morn ing his little daughter Ethel, aged seven, came trotting into her fathers study, saying: "Oh, papa. I had such funny dream! I dreamt that I saw MT. -" (mentioning young man of 27, great friend of her father's) "sit ting in room at No. Maint street, and trying to write you name" The child's dream was communicated to the police, who were at first inclined to ridicule it, but a watch was put on the proceedings of the young man in question. Evidence accumulated against him, and it was found that he had hired room in another name at the address the child had given, The room was raided and copies of the forged signature and bank checks found there.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's
 Cough Remedy.


 "when I had an attack or the grip last winter (the second one) actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham ber1ain's Cough Remedy" says Frank W. Perry, editor of the Enterprise. Shortsville, N. Y. This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon f,1l of this remedy and when the cough inp spell would come on at night I would take dose, and 1t seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its ac- companying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable sur prise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had nev- CT tried it for such purpose, but 1t did. and it seemed with the second at- tack of coughing the remedy caused it not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle be- fore MT Grip had bid me adieu' For sale by all druggists.

been murdered by a peddler in a sa, loon at Gravesend. In the morning came the news that her husbands dead body had been discovered in the iden- tical place where she had in her dream seen the murder committed When the poor wife had calmed down a little she wrote out an exact description of the peddler whom she had seen in her dream, and, saying nothing about her vision to the officers of the law, mere ly told them that this was the person she suspected. Two days later man answering the description was arrest ed at an inn six miles from Gravesend, and, on being taxed with the crime, confessed that he was the murderer.
 Here, is another instance. A certain farmer conceived desperate attach ment for a young girl who lived in Q town eight miles from his house. But the girl mistrusted him from the first, and, after short courtship, wrote a note to him on which were the words.
 Il shall never see you again" The farmer. reused to fury, wayIaid and murdered her in, a lonely part of the theath one night and took away her body in his cart.
 A few days rlhe visited her house to see her and feigned great surprise when informed that she had disap- peared. While there he managed to secure an opportunity to slip the note n a vase on the mantelpiece But the next night the mother dreamt that her daughter lay murdered beneath the farmers barn, and on the strength of this the police searched the build- ing to find that the woman's dream had been true. |

into his neck. Immediately the snake began to blow and hiss and to strike and throw his body about the cage in the effort to break the hold of the rat.
 This struggle lasted thirty seconds before the rat was dislodged, and the snake then struck viciously at him and made every exertion to get the rat in his mouth, but the rat lodged and escaped and ran around the cage until he again found the snake stretched out full length, this posi- tion being the opportunity which he sought, and he again sprang on the snake and fastened his teeth in the snake at the same place and held on.
 Another struggle ensued more fu- rious than the first one. The snake made frantic efforts to shake the rat loose. He would strike and throw

Pickett Camp decided last night to de-
vote one meeting night In each month to
singing Confederate songs and telling war
incidents. Five minutes are to be al
loted to each veteran selected to tell in
cidents and war experiences for any par
ticular night. Members of the camp ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to further
discussions of the causes of the war. They
were tired of hearing about 1t, and wanted
to know what was actually done. Com
rade Northcn Sas appointed q committee
to arrange a musical programme for May
The camp accepted the invitation of the
lakewood Memorial Association to attend
the exercises May 9th, and committee
will arrange for a trip to Norfolk May
7th which is memorial day In that city.
Considering the inclemency of the
weather the attendance last night HHas
unusually large, and the session, nsted
two hours.
