Snakes,

There exists among many persons a
belief that snakes are creatures of
rlore or less defective organization.
Deprived of legs and reduced to effect
their movements by sinuous windinss
If their elongated bodies and tails, they
have an appearance of helplessnesS
which may by itself excite compassion.
Yet no mistake of the kind could well
be greater. The principles Of evelu-
ton suffice to make it evident that the
structure of serpents must be tolerably
good or else they could never have sur
vived natures MANY destructive
agencies. Bat, in fact. their structure
Is marvel of admirable contrivances
and accurate adjustments, SO that we
must affirm them to be as perfectly
adapted to their requirements and pc
ruliar modes of life as any other ami

A Dozen Different WAYS

When the ordinary citizen intends to-
60 east, or send orr friends or relatives to
come west, the choice OF routes is ques-
ton that always bothers him. He wants
to know if the same route he used once,
some time ago, makes the same time,
il il costs the same to 20 east as it did to
come west. Possibly, he has heard or
read OF famous points of interest in the
west or middle west that he overlooked
on the trip he made. Did not see them
because he had not time; did not know
he could for the same money; did not
know he could get a stopover. There are
hundreds of questions he would have
asked, many things he would like to have
seen and ma.:y accommodations hesscould
have enjoyed, only, he did not have time
10 look into the subject, and it was too
much bother anyway.
Here is suggestion that will save you
all that tr ,uble, vexation and regret. The
Illinois Central Railroad Company runs
east and south from St. Paul. Omaha
and St. Louis, and north from New
Orleans. At these points, it connects
with ALL the western trunk lines, and
through then with all THEIR western
connections. The Illinois Central does
not care which line you use III the west,
northwest, central west or southwest,
because it connects with all OF them, and
is absolutely impartial to all. All You
have to do is to drop us a note tell us
your destination and starting paint. Is
there an. thing in the whole glorious west
that you want to see on the way? Men
ton it. We will arrange for it if it can
be done. Perhaps you will want a stop
over. We will arrange that too If it is
possible for anyone to do it. Just make
suggestion as to the western line and
we will elaborate it for YOU tell YOU the
time you should start, when you should
arrive at destination, what accommOda-
tons You will enjoy. what it will cost
you, an itinerary for the trip, and will do
anything that we possibly can to make
your journey pleasant and comfortable.
That's what we are here for. We have
headquarters in Portland; Agents in
Portland and Seattle, and Travelling
Agents that will come and talk it over
with you any time and at any place in
the northwest without it's costing you
cent more than postage stamp. Chi.
cago business is a specially with us, but
we have our own rails in dozen different
states east OF St. Paul, Omaha and New
Orleans, and can ticket yon to these
gateways over a dozen different routes.
Write US. By the way, do you want q
nice wall map Of the United Sta es, Cuba
and Porto Rico? Send me six cents to
pay postage.
