for?" asked the zoo keeper.
cit is a CALL" he resumed, answer
ing his own question. ''The rattle
snake with it calls his mate. A man
was telling me the other day that he
studied the rattle question last year in
the west He said it is mainly as a
call that the rattle is used, though diff
ferent sounds can be made with it, and
these sounds appear to have different
meanings.
"Once this man saw seven hogs at

to fight pluckily, and while he fought
he ratified loud and long. Three other
snakes came with great speed and
courage to his aid. A dreadful battle
followed. The snakes though they
fought we'll, were all killed.
'The rattle is also said to charm or
hypnotic birds, so that the snake can
seize them easily, but in this story my
friend doesn't take much stock. It's
as a call, he says, that the rattle is
used most-a love call generally, with
which the male snake summons his
mate" -Philadelphia Record.

Intelligence In Eating.

1t is difficult to lay down a regimen
for indiscriminate adoption. A diet
that would prove one PERSONS making
would very likely unmake another.
This much is certain, a woman does
not require as much food as a man,
nor does a clerk in a store require the
same amount and quality of food as
a day laborer. A business woman
may not eat so much as man, but
her needs are as great in point of
quality and regularity Of food.
Brain workers should eat fish, eggs,
cream, fruits and whole wheat bread.
They should eat enough of such food,
be they men or women, but they
should never overeat of anything.
An intelligent idea of our physical
make up and of the nutritive value Of
different foods would preclude much
recourse to doctors for advice when
we are overtaken with indigestion or
liousness.-American Queen.

had saved an heiress from a stampede
and won her undying love in ten min
utes. There were 5000 steers covering
the plain between Taylor's ranch and
Lame Wolf creek. If they would only
get move on them at the right time,
he would be there to do the hero's part.
The steers were cheerfully willing.
One morning soon after the heiress had
passed down the road they lowered
their heads, threw up their tails and
stampeded. The move was not expect
ed by the cowboy, but by great good
luck he was on hand to mix in. 1t
seems the easiest thing in the world
for hero to cut across the front of a
stampeding herd of steers and snatch
an heiress from her saddle, and bear
her away to safety and win her eter-
nal gratitude, but Tom Jones didn't
find it so in practice AS a matter of
fact, he was rolled in the dust and
walked on in a shameful manner
while the heiress saved herself, and
when the herd had passed she helped
him to find the remains Of his hat and
advised him to go home and keep quiet
for a few days to avoid nervous fever.
There was only one more hope for
the cowboy hero. If he could rescue
Miss Griscomb from q prairie fire, all
might yet be we'll. A drunken Indian
brought things about as he wished. 1t
wasn't an overgrown spectacular dis
play as far as flames went, but there
was a heap of smoke and grand op-
portunity for yelling, and in due time
Tom Jones started In on his work of
rescue. While he was dashing through
the pillows Of smoke and frantically
calling upon the heiress to be saved
she had already saved herself, and it
cut him to the quick to have her re-
mark as he finally rode up to her that
she didn't like the smell of singed hair.
The cowboy had played his last card,
and, weary and hopeless, he sought out
the Diogenes of the flock and stated
his case.
'My son." said the old man when he
had heard the story, ''did you ever
hear the saying of up to date|"
"Of course. I'm there myself"
''And there lies the cause of your
failure. Miss Griscomb is more up to
date as a girl than you are as a man.
You had better stop making fool of
yourself and hustle those steers
around"

TOM JONES,
COWBOY
...........By c. B. LEWIS
Copyright, 1902, by T. C. Mcclure
...........By c. B. LEWIS

Tom Jones was a real Montana cow
boy, the genuine stuff. By that is
meant that he was no consumptive son
who had been sent out from Boston to
try the western ozone, nor was he
student of Yale or Harvard who was
picking up $50 a month to help him
squeak through college. He was born
to the business, knew all the ms and
outs, and no one could beat him at
turning a stampeding herd or throwing
the lasso. 1t was said on all sides that
there was only one thing out of killer
with Tom Jones-he had aspirations.
If he had aspired to keep three guns
shooting at once or to hold four aces
in every other hand Of poker, he might
have had the sympathy of his fellow
workers, but his aspirations took a
different line.
Tom Jones had read no less than six
different accounts of eastern heiresSeS
coming out west on a visit and falling
in love with and marrying cowboys.
Cowboys had saved them from rob-
bers, Indians, stampedes and prairie
fires, and their natural gratitude had
resulted in love and marriage. What
had happened once might happen
again. Toms aspirations, then, ran to
heiresses. He was expecting one along
any day in the week and was always
prepared to carry out his part Of the
contract.
Even an heiress may come to him
who waits, and in due time, when her
enga gements permitted, Miss Griscomb,
from New York, paid a visit to rela-
tives at Taylor's ranch. Tom had heard
of her beauty and what pile of mon
ey her old dad had in the bank within
twenty-four hours after her arrival. 1t
was now up to him to bring in the
heroics and start things going. He got
out his Sunday togs and creased his
hair as q beginning.
Nor was the labor thrown away. He
had hardly set forth on hunt for

Athens Saved by Poetry.

When B. G. 4O4 after heroic strug-
gle Athens, the "City of the Violet
Crown" was captured by Lysander
there were not wanting clamorous
voices to urge that the city whose lust
for empire had brought such woes on
Greece ought to be laid level with the
ground.
The Spartan general at first lent a
willing ear to his powerful allies, but
while the council was still debating
this momentous issue a plaintive voice
was heard from the city walls chanting
those noble lines from the ELECTRA" Of
Europides, that most human of the
poets of Greece, in which the heroine
contrasts her fallen lot with the splen-
did exploits of her father, who had dis
mantled the towers of Troy.
Lysander bent his head and pondered
on fortunes cruel reverses. Trium-
plant as Agamemnon, who could tell
but that he might be reserved for fate
as cruel? The lesson Of moderation
was accepted. Athens was saved.
Milton has immortalized this dramat-
ic event in one Of his best known SON
nets:
The repeated air
OF sad Electra's poet had the power
To save the Athenian walls from ruin
bare.

CHIVALRY OF SAVAGES.
Many BarbarOus Tribes Are Exceed
ingIy DeferentiaI to Women.

Many BAFbarOuS tribes Are Exceed
ingly DeferentiaI to Women.
Untraveled people commonly sup
pose that savages always treat their
women badly, making mere slaves and
beasts of burden of them. This is
true in some cases, but many bar
barians are exceedingly chivalrous to-
ward women.
The Maoris of New Zealand always
treat women with the greatest defer
ence and respect, so much so that the
Earl of Ranfurly once called them
''the truest gentlemen on earth" They
will not permit woman to do any hard
work if they can do it for her, and
their boys are taught from earliest
youth that rudeness ana unkindness
toward women are crimes only second
to lying and cowardice.
A young English lady named Ger
Druses of Syria. She was everywhere
received by them with the greatest
courtesy and hospitality. Special tents
were assigned to her use, and the
sheiks We'd with each other in being
her humble servants. "No we'll bred
English gentleman could have been
more chivalrous," she said, land they
were just as courteous to their own
women as they were to me-"
The Fijians go to extremes. They
are so deferential and polite to their
womenfolk that they let the latter
'rule the roost" entirely. A woman's
word is apt to be law in the Fiji is
lands.
AS a rule, women occupy a sub
ordinate place in the east, but Kaf1-
ristan is an exception. The Kaffirs are
of Aryan origin and to all appearances
are a white race. They claim AleXan-
der the Great as their ancestor and
have lofty code of chivalry. Their
women lovely creatures with fair
compilations, blue eyes and flaXen hair,
are treated far better than most Wom-
en- in civilized society.

A Surprised Bore.

The late Justice Carter of the SUI
preme court of the District Of Column
bia used to relate an incident of Phil
adelphia man who called at the White
House so frequently and took up so
much of President Lincoln's time that
the latter finally lost his patience. One
day when the gentleman was particu-
larly verbose and persistent and re-
fused to leave. although he knew that
important delegations were waiting,
Lincoln arose, walked over to ward
robe in the corner of the cabinet cham
Der and took a bottle from a shelf.
Looking gravely at his visitor, whose
head was very bald, he remarked:
did you ever try this stuff for your
hair?'
''No, sir; never did"
"Well," remarked Lincoln, 81 advise
you to try it. and 1 will give you this
bottle. If at first you don't succeed
try, try again. Keep it up. They say
it will make hair grow on pumpkin.
Now take it and come back in eight or
ten months and tell me how it works"
The astonished Philadelphia left the
room instantly without a word, carry
ing the bottle in his hand, and Judge
Carter, coming in with the next dele
cation, found the president doubled up
with laughter at the success of his
strategy. Before he could proceed to
business the story had to be told

PORTRAITS OF CATS.
Various Reasons Why They Are Very
Difficult to Paint.


In speaking of the putting of cats
on canvas a painter of them recently
said: ''They are without doubt one of
the most difficult creatures to paint,
and lamentably few artists make a
success of their portraiture. They are
almost impossible to keep quiet, and
the particular fluffy 'cattineSS' of their
coats is far from easy to depict in pig
ments. The famous cat painters are
few, and when choice or chance dis
covers one he, or more often she, finds
the gift a mine of wealth.
'Tn David Brooke's we'll known pic
ture of the darby preacher at dinner
in the Corcoran Art gallery in Wash
ington the cat in the foreground coulC
be induced to sit still only by having
her feet glued to the floor. But salts
factory results as to expression, in
eloquent, are not to be secured in this
way Those who have had reason to
know say that even the fur of felines
is indicative of several things. In
health and contentment it stands out
fluffy from their bodies, while in fear
or displeasure it lies fiat and lankly to
the skin.
''Not long since picture was placed
on exhibition of cat tapping milk,
with it's tail held high. Though the
technique was good and the fur really
furry the value of the whole was
practically nil. because no cat has ever
been known to eat with it's tail in the
air. With waving tails they do indeed
rush toward the food, but with the
first lap or bite down goes the caudal
appendage lower and lower until with
a full stomach it sweeps the ground.
In the case of young kittens it is often
different, however. They scramble in
to a dish of milk with their pointed,
ratlike tails at right angles to their
rolly poly bodies and sometimes forget
to take down this sign of animation
and alertness. Any one who knows
cats knows that the tail at every angle
and with every movement is expressive
Of some definite emotion"

POOR TOM HAD TO GRAB THE TAIL OF
THE GIRLS HORSE

stray steers when far across the plains
he saw the object of his aspirations.
The broncho on whose back she was
seated had stopped to indulge in the
wild west business of bucking and
jumping, and Tom imagined that he
could hear terror stricken shouts from
the rider. 1t was all imagination, how
ever When ne had reached her side
after a furious burst of speed and
begged the privilege Of saving her life,
she quietly replied
.'Please don't interfere J. rather en-
joy the change"
Tom Jones was nonplused, but he
waited In the course of two or three
days Dutch Pete broke loose on one Of
his quarterly jamborees. Dutch Pete
kept the doggery at Dead Mans Cor
ners, and when he started out to clean
up the state he kept his two guns red
hot. Tom figured that it would be on
the bills. for Pete to bear Miss Girls
comb away into the mountains, and he
lowered along the Fort Wingate road
as her protecting angel. His figures
turned out to be way off. Miss Girls
comb and Dutch Pete met one morning
at the crossing of Lame Wolf creek,
and when the cowboy came up the
terror had his hands raised, and the
girl had a gun On line with his eye.
She thanked Mr.. Jones very kindly for
the interest he exhibited, but she really
couldn't think of putting him to any
particular trouble.
Then Tom Jones prayed for a cloud
burst Lame Wolf creek had its rise
up in the mountains. At o'clock of a
summer morning it might be a mere
rivulet crossing the stage road. An
hour later a flood wave six feet high
might be booming down as the result
of cloudburst up among the peaks.
The burst came as prayed for. Miss
Griscomb was on the west side Of the
creek when caught by the flood, and
all escape seemed cut off when the
cowboy came tearing around Bull bend
to rescue her. Three minutes later the
girl was rescuing him. His broncho
got tangled up with a mass of drift
wood and was drowned, and poor Tom
had to grab the tail of the girls horse
and take tow to the bank.
''You had better go home and change
your clothes, and l hope you will be
more careful in future" was all the
thanks he got as the heiress rode away
and left him to hang himself up to
dry.
Tom Jones felt that he had made
failure of it thus far but he hoped for
a stampede to change things. In one

Constable and His Picture.

Constable, the eminent British paint
er, once sat on the hanging committee
of the British Royal academy when a
small landscape was brought up for
Judgment and pronounced lawfully

rose and made short and startling
speech. "That picture was painted by
me. 7 had a notion that some of you
didn't like my work, and this is
pretty convincing proof. l am very
much obliged to you" When his col
leagues recovered from their stupefac-
ton the head carpenter was hidden to
bring back the picture. But Constable
would not have it. "Out it goesv' he
