A ouick and Deadly Blow.

The viper strikes in self-defense when angered or suddenly startled. Keen
 sharp fangs, long and slender, and pointed as shad bones, make possible a quick attack, which sends the venom deep into veins and arteries within the fraction of a second. Coled, with head and forebody extended in the shape of a letter C. the rattler lies. The fat. wick ed body is motionless and steady as though cast in steel, the black, beady eyes riveted on the victim. Only the tail with it's warning rattles is performing an evolution The attack is sharp and quick. Quick as thought the fangs have been buried an inch or more into the flesh The poison is quite the opposite of the cobra s. containing about 95 per cent. of blood destroying and about . per cent of ncrve-dcstroying clements. With all the Vigor of sharp acid the venom circu- lates, attacking the walls of the veins

DEADLY SNAKES.
Wounds Inflicted by the Cobra are
 Invariably Mortal.

McClure'S Magazine.
 Snakes--venomous snakes-may be di- vided into, two classes, the cobras and the viperoids. The cobras, inhabitants of distant India, form class apart. To the viperoids belong all other venomous species, including our own splendid rat tier, the moccasin. the fer de lance of the West Indies and the deadly bush master of Venezuela and the Guianas.
 Diametrically opposite. though equally fatal, are the effects of the cobra and the viperoid poison. Diametrically oppo- site, also, are the two methods of at tack. The cobra at times is aggressive, the king cobra being said even to pur- sue man. Silent. without the least warning and from a place where you would least suspect, the round head darts out of thicket. sharp pain causes you to exclaim and the frightful fanss of the snake are buried in your flesh. Like the grip of a bulldog they hold fast while from five to ten feet of animated cable come stretching out of the thicket to coil leisurely beneath the dread head.

 "There are d number of sentences not in the Bible which everybody thinks are there" said a clergyman. The chief of these sentences is: He tempers the wind to the shorn lamb You would search the Bible pretty thoroughly before YOU would find that sentence in it, Where YOU would ind it would be in Sterne's sentimental Journey"
 "Sterne gets good deal of praise for the origination of this sentence, but 1t was originated, as a matter of fact be- fore he was born. In collection of French proverbs published in l59i We find. Dieu mesure le vent Ia brebis tondue That convicts sterne of pla- giarsm.
 ".ln the mdist of life we are in death everybody thinks that is in the Bible. It isn't, though; it is in the Burial Serv- ice.
 That he who runs may read This is another sentence supposed, wrongly. to be Biblical. It is not Biblical. though the Bible has something very like it. namely. That he may run that readeth.
 "'Prone to sin as the sparks fly up ward The Bible nowhere contains those words.

TRYING TO MAKE THE
PRESIDENT FEEL GOOD
Senators Tell Him There May Be Anti
Trust Legislation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. lin
portant- conferences were held today
between the president and prominent
senators regarding the legislative pros
pect for the remainder of the session.
President Roosevelt is anxious to have
enacted some anti trust legislation and
to secure the ratification of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty Such assurances as
are possible at this time have been
given him that both of his desires viii
be fulfilled.
In an interview today Senator Bur
rows, of Michigan, who last spring led
the opponents of the reciprocity legis-
latiOn, told the president that with pos
sibly one exception the nineteen sena-
tors who opposed that legislation would
support the pending Cuban treaty as
amended. He had no doubt that the
treaty would be ratified
Senators Platt. of Connecticut, and
Aldrich, of Rhode Island, discussed
with the president the prospect of an
THRUST legislation in the senate Both
were of the opinion that some measure
perhaps could be passed at this SEES
sion, although it was pointed out that,
with less than six weeks of the SEES
sion remaining, it@would be a serious
problem to overcome any very strenu-
Gus opposition to any measure.
Senator Beverage, of Indiana, told
the president that 1t was certain now
that the omnibus statehood bill could
not be passed by the senate. He did
not indicate what fate awaited his
committee statehood measure
Senator Fairbanks, of Indiaka, in a
talk with the president, added his as
surance that perhaps some legislation
bearing upon the trust question would
be adopted.

VALUE OF TESTIMONY.
Greater Than Assertion,

There is none of us so hardened but that
When we have been able to aid our fell
low creatures by comforting a benefit or
bringing a little comfort into their lives
we like to have appreciation shown This
generally affords more pleasure than the
performance of the act itself. and in this
connection the following letter from a
Texas lady Is Of more than usual inter-
est:

Testimony like this -(for the genuine
ness Of which we vouch) should be more
convincing than all claims and assertions.
and should leave no doubt in the mind Of
the reader as to the merit of the remedy.

GONZALES RECOVERY
SEEMS PROBABLE
TiIIman Declares the Facts, When
Known, Will indicate Him.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 17.-After a
day of anxiety to the friends Of Editor
N. q. Gonzales, of the State. who was
shot on Thursday afternoon by Lieut..
GOV. James II. Tillman, reports ton;I;ht
from the hospital are encouraging,
though not fully assuring recovery.
During the early afternoon there was
grave apprehension for the life of the
wounded man and at one time prac-
ucally all hope was abandoned, but
there is now some inkling Of a favora-
bic outcome.
Col. Tillman says he has received
offers from lawyers in the state to I'm.
dertake his defense without fee. When
Tillman is put on trial, whether Con-
gales lives or not. his (Tillman's)
counsel will ask for a change of venue
from Richland county. 1t is said that
the claim will be set up by Tillman's
attorneys that on account of this being
Gonzales home county a fair trial
could not be secured. The motion will
be considered by Judge p. o. Prouty,
who will preside at the April term of
court here. Solicitor ]. w. Thurmond
will represent the state at the trial. He
says he can see no reason why a fair
trial cannot be secured here.
Tillman said today:
II would like to correct the biased
opinion on this affair, but when the
public recalls these reports were either
sent out by the State, Of which Mr..
/ Gonzales is editor, or by his personal
friends, they can readily see that /
could scarcely hope for or expect a fair
account. Those who know me know
me too we'll to believe 1t. When the
true facts are proved my friends and
the people of this country will know
how grossly have been misrepresented.
Much will be shewn by witnesses Of the
highest character. 1 am ready for trial
by jury of my countrymen."
