A Rich Man. Freak.

How many men who have acquired
a fortune by practising the most rigid
economy in their younger days would
abandon their palatial residence In old
age to live in u woodshed? That is
what Abraham Simmer, knFy
throughout Iowa as the "Waverly fhil-
anthrOpist." intends to do. The wood.
shed which Simmer will move into
will be made into two rooms-a bed
room and dlning-room. He will live
alone and cook his own meals. He de-
clares that he will have reached the
true state of happiness in this world
-contentmcnt in simplicity. During
the past few years Simmer has given
more money to charitable institutions
than any other man in Iowa. He is
said to be worth more thnn $1,000, 900.
and 1t is his purpose to give this for.

The most relentless exterminator of
reptiles is member of the family it
self-the beautiful little yellow and
black king snake, the friend of man
and the nvowed enemy of anything
that creeps or erawls, regardless Of
size or poison fang.
"A native of our own South. the king
snake, is between five and eight feet
long, and no thicker around than n
mans thumb. Built in every muscle
and bone for speed and tremendous
constructing power. there is not an
other snake OH earth that can with
stand his assault. He is immune to the
poison of the cobra and of the RATHER
alike, and the strength of thirty
foot python has no terrors for him.
Within five minutes from the opening
of the fight the king snake could kill
the biggest python that ever lived.
Ferocious as the little constructor is
toward his own kind. toward man he
is friendly and rarely tries to escape
when met afield.-McClure's Magazine.

1f there is one thing above another
that is the cause Of genuine mental
profanity at this season 1t is the refn-
sal OF that necessary condiInent. salt,
to part company with the shaker.
Many things have been suggested to
remedy the trouble. One hOtelkeeper
mt the shore. where dampncss IL al
ways present, says tnat baking the salt
thoroughly in the oven and then mix
ing 1t with one-thirl the quantity of
corn starch. will obviate the difficulty.
Others suggest that the shakers be
set In the oven for fifteen minutes
every day. but the majority OF advice
prWlnims that the only real way to get
,round the trouble Is to put the shak-
crs away during the dog days and use
individual salt cellars.
Nevertheless one plan that has been
found thoroughly successful is TO bake
tho salt well and add corn starch AZ
suggested Then as the shakers are
filled add TO each one II small half tea
spoon of rice.
This keeps 1t stirred up and prevents
Jumping: also serves. when violently
shaken, to knock and loosen the salt
from around the holes in the top.

Travelling Backward.


One of the saddest things IN the his
tory of college graduates is that SO
many cease to grow when they have
received their diplomas. On gradual
ton day they reach their mental high
water mark. but after that the tide
gradually GIBBS, and it never rises
quite as high again.
When just from college many of
these graduates impress one as men
of great promise: but some how or
other. they remain 2rospectuses all
lished volumes. They study Jaw. teach
while. or else. perhaps, engage in
business, but they do not hold Oh very
long anywhere or at any thing. They
seem to lose their grip, and, instead of
forging ahead, they drift down stream.
AS rule, Il graduate who thus fails
to realize his promise thinks that. when
he receives his sheepskin there is no
need for further mental exertion on
his part. He feels that he has Won
his laurels, and that he can afford to
rest upon them. After four years
study at college. he believes that he
has covered the whole field. Having
won diploma, he has 10 other goal
in view. Purposeless, without life
plan or definite plan of work, he be-
comes the most hopeless and pitiable
of all human beings-a drifter.
How can l overcome this feeling?"
hundreds of young men are asking.
Begin to overcome it now! Do not al
low it to grow over you like a moss
on deserted building. Try to ADAM
