Medusa hoped in time to reconcile the
two to life of harmonious happiness.
with this end in view, Nine. Me-
dusa placed the two on the floor OF
her tent early this morning. For a
time everything was lovely. Then,
without any warning the Only Origin
al thrust out his fang and whispered:
"H-h-h-hhh!" which is an awful
thing for any snake to call another
"H.h-h-hh yerself!" snapped back
Cleo.
"At the same instant two black
streaks flashed through the air, and a
moment later a sinuous snarl of siss-
ing serpents was seething round the
floor.
"Clop! Clop! Their jaws snapped
almost simultaneously at what, in the
general tangle each mistook for the
tip of its rivals tail.
Nine. Medusa stepped forward to
separate the struggling serpents, but
suddenly sprang back, terror stricken
by the strange sight she saw.
In the mix-up of the occasion each
snake had mistaken its own tail for
that of its rival and was consequently
viciously devour.

brought Nine. Me.
duSa to her senses. She rushed to- ard
the fast disappearing reptiles, but,
alas, too late!
Poor old Sinbad, the Only Original
Sin, had already breathed his last,
He had swallowed himself so rapid
ly that he came to the back Of his
head with a suddenness that snapped
the neck.
Cleopatra was rescued. Just as
her back teeth we're about to pass
in through the front of her mouth,
Nine. Medusa seized her firmly with
both hands, and by dint of hard work
succeeded in drawing her out Of her
self. But it was a close call. A sec

swallowed herself entirely.
How many times was the snake
coiled round in itself? Heavensl !
don't know. Nine. Medusa became
dizzy after extracting the thirteenth

But you can figure It out for your.

THEY ARE NOT HANKERINo
AFTER POVERTY.

A certain western writer comment
ing on the talks that are being made
by Rockefeller, Carnegie and others
about the blessedpess and happiness
of being poor, says that he hasn't OBJ
served any disposition on the part of
these gentleman to break into the
poverty class.
The fact lie that this talk about the
happiness of being poor is largely rot.
OF course, there are people who are
miserable under any circumstances,
and there are other people who are
cheerful and apparently content II
they haven't a cent, But money adds
greatly to the Sum Of human happi-
ness, and poverty, while not necess-
arily a disgrace, is mighty unconfor-
table and often is productive Of dis
ease and premature death.
The man with money In his pocket
can command the services Of the best
there lie In the world.
Money makes the most expert tailors
temporarily his servants; at the COM
mand of the dollar the best cooks in
either hemisphere prepare for him the
most delicate viands. Great corpora
lions place their cars ct his service
and spare no pains that he may travel
in elegance and easy luxury. The
greatest artists paint to please his eye;
the greatest actors give him their time
and the use Of their talents. Floating
palaces pillow the ocean for him and the
doors OF palaces on land swing inward
to admit him. The fact lie, as we have
said, money gives him the best the
world has to offer. There Is no par
tioular wonder that men are wild in
their pursuit of the stun.
We never have had the opportunity
to know how it would feel to have all
the money we wanted to spend; the
chances ere a good many to one that
We never win have any ssuch oppor-
tunity, but we would like to try itonce
Just to see how It would seem.
Meantime we have observed, that
none Of these nabobs show any anxiety
to break into the ranks Of poverty.

Peruna:

as a nerve tonic. I do so most
heartily. "---JnHa MarIOWe.
Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centels are
the reservoirs Of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want Of
proper nutrition. This is especially true
in the spring season. Every spring a
host Of invalids are produced rs the di-
rect result Of weak nerves.
This could be easily obviated by the
use Of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root Of the difficulty by correcting the
