~ CHEMISTS the world over have
- for years been making an ex-
tensive study in their efforts to
discover some effective remedy
which will act as an antidote to the
deadly poison of the Gila monster, con-
sidered the most dangerous reptile to
human life
Infesting the deserts of the far South
west Is a venomous reptile, the bite Of
which inoculates man with a deadly virus
which cannot be eradicated from the
system and produces death amid the most
excruciating agonies. No white man has
yet been able to discover an antidote for
the poison injected into human veins
from the venom sac of the Gila monster.
However, a tribe of desert Indians known
as the Hualipi use a remedy which al
most invariably proves infallible. To no
white man has any of the nomads Of the
sandy sea ever impaired the secret,
though President Diaz Of the Republic Of
Mexico has gone among them and per-
sonal1y appealed that the panacea for
the deadly bite be made public.
Because of a superstitious belief that
the remedy. which is also said to be ef-
f1cacious in combating the fatal effects
of rattlesnake poison, was direct bless
ing from their gods, and should be kept
secret, the Hualipis refused to disclose 1t.
That an antidote must be found Is
realized by the medical authorities Of
California and Arizona. The regions in
tested by the ''mottled terror" are rapid
ly becoming inhabited. and each year
sees a big increase in the white popula-
ton For many years. perhaps for hun
dreds of them, the Pima, Apache. Mari
copah and Yuma Indians, who little
feared the bites of rattlesnakes or cen
tipedes, waged a cautious and systematic
war of determination against the Gilas,
but as these tribes have thinned out the
monsters" have increased alar1ningly,

''The ST. Louis branches of the organi-

proven towers of strength to the work
throughout the State. The Federation
comprises nine unions. six white ana

meetings. The executive body is COM

dice was strong against the woman who
would stand upon the rostrum and pub
liely quote statistics in support Of her
argument against the liquor traffic. How
ever. times have greatly changed, and
now men and women attend meetings
where women are the chief speakers and
the credulous sneer once so palpable upon
the countenances of the major portion Of
the audience is no longer in evidence

the traffic and thus bring about
healthy public sentiment, which will re-

rumse]lers, until they Will be forced out
CT the nefarious business. This can be
done and those who are weak and find diff

be hedged about with kindly influences and

will power and needing The counsel of the
devoted men and women ever ready to

'"The cause I espouse is glorious one

~ OR almost quarter OF century
F. devoted st. Louis woman has
fought the battles of the cause OF
temperance and she continues the
warfare with the ardor which character
lied her In the early days Of the move
ment. For the twenty-second time Mrs.
Clara Hoffman has recently been chosen
as the head of the State organization Of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. and she shoulders the arduous
duties incident thereto with all the en-
thusiasm of one who had never before
been chosen for the responsible position.
In season and out of season, not de-
terreG7 10y winters winds nor summers
suns, she has carried on the work which
she deemed laid out for her and some
of the results are apparent and other
evidences she details to those who evince
an interest
In October, 1882, the national body of
the W. C. T. U. met in Louisville, KY,
and number of the members of the
convention were representatives of local
branches of the order in Missouri which
at that time mad no state organization Of
the body. These representatives met and
formed the neucleus of State organiza-
ton by electing Mrs. Hoffman president
This action was ratified at meeting Of
the white ribboners of the State. held
at Kansas City in June. 1888. and Mrs.
Hoffman at once beAan her work as the
head of the Missouri branch Of an or
ganization which has proven potent
factor for more than a score of years
in the political and social life of the
State.
Considerable prejudice had to be met
and overcome by the woman who made
speeches in public at the time Mrs. Hoff-
man began her work in the interest of
the thorough organization of the women
Of Missouri to combat The liquor traffic.
Many people wer9 svayed by charlatans
and demagos- -es as winters winds sway

speak as entertainingly as man. and
adduce as many facts. Instead Of real
izing this to be the case numbers Of men

her head was splitting. Gradually the
pain seemed to leave her, and a few mip-
,utes before death inconsistencies came
to her relief. This case was q singular
one, inasmuch as the girl lived for more
than two hours after having been bit-
ten. Ordinarily few persons can speak
after fifteen minutes, and with the ex-
ception OF those few who recover, all
cases prove fatal within half an hour.
THAT the whites of the Southwest are
beginning to realize the terrible effects of
the elias poison is shown in the case Of
a ranchman, who, while camping en- route
from Phoenix, stepped on Gila before he

utes later the man lost consciousness, and

with terror, the man beat the creature
frantically against the side of the cabin
until Professor Wetherbee secured a knife
and chopped 1t in two. Every stirnulant
and remedy at hand were in turn en-
ployed, but the Mexican gradually fel

Tn no place Ia the search for pleas
lure marked by more strange eccentri-
cities than at Coney Island. On the
very hottest Saturday afternoons IN
August thousands OF the city toiiers,
exhausted with the heat and worn out
with the weeks labor, pack themselves
into steamboats, and trolley cars and
come hurrying down to enjoy q breath
Of the cool sea air. Arrived at the
world famous ocean beach, one would
naturally expect to see them plunge
without delay into the refreshing salt
waves. But the habitual Coney Island
visitor paws scant heed to the ocean
breeze or the refreshing salt waves.
He hurries from railroad depot and
stea mboat landing to the heart OF the
densely populated region of chowder
pots, photograph galleries, variety
shows. fortune tellers and other char
acteristic Coney Island attractions.
Once within the limits of this en-
chanted territory, the perspiring c1ti-
zen plunges with animation into the
whirlpool of enjoyment that lies be-
fore him. The lung-tester claims his IN
slant attention; and, placing a filthy
rubber mouthpiece to his lips, he blows
until his face turns purple and his
lungs threaten to split, in an insane
attempt to force the pointer on a dial
to the unattainable number that will
yield him an unavoidable cigar.
Having had all the fun that he can
with the refreshing lung-tester, he
passes on to the sister device known
as the try your-strength," and by pay
ment Of a nickel secures the privilege
of pounding with an enormous mallet,
In the hope of reaching a number
which lies only within the powers of
the proprietor of the machine.
Cheered and invigorated by these
two forms of exercise, the amusement
seeker next proceeds to the photo
graph gallery and secures tintype
OF himself that his own mother would
fall to recognize; then on to the for
tune teller, where a soothsayer, who
is also q chiropodist, pictures for him
a future state which he knows he can
never realize. These forms of amuse-
ment exhausted, there still remain the
variety shows in which the worst acts
In the world are performed by the
worst serio-comic and played-out song
and dance men known to tile modern
stage; the hot corn spread with rancid
butter; the loop the loop" in Which
enjoyment Is favored with the pun
gent spice Of peril; and the thousand
and one opportunities for stalking and
losing money on reputed games of
chance that are really the surest kind
of sure things.-Leslie's Monthly.
