A GREAT SNAKE STORY.

John King, farmer in Southern
Pottawatomie county, down near
the Seminole line, killed a five-fool
rattlesnake RECENTLY, which called
forth some great "reminiscences Of
the older residents about the time
when rattiers were as plentiful as
lizards are nowadays. 1t is claimed
that the largest rattler ever seen in
the county was killed in a den near
Burnett q few years ago. II was a
velvet tail rattler, and had seventy
two rattles. Ordinarily the velvit
tail has q black velvety tip ten
inches long, but the one in question
was so old il was black and velvety
all over from head to the tip OF it's
tail. The cliff was dynamited at the
same time and 175 rattlers killed,
according TO jeff eagle of Romulus'
Mike Ryan of Shawnee and Colonel
Charlie Fox of McComb, who are
made to stand for truly hair rails
ing story in the Shawnee Herald re.
gsrding the great killing. Accord
ing to that etory. the snakes were
assembl In sort of convention,
and the big fellow with the seventy
two rattles, who was the king OF the
bunch, was making his farewell ad'
dress at the time he was 80 foully
dime 10 death.

DeMoss & Chubb, the hustling
poultry dealers and buyers of this
city, are just now paping the high.
est prices for poultry ever paid in
this country, and they are getting
lots of it. Last week they shipped
full car load of poultry to the
Eastern market, and will ship an.
other in few days. These gentle
men thoroughly understand their
business and if any poultry gets
away from them il is because they
have not had a chance to buy il. In
the past three years the firm, two
years of it under the management
of Mr.. DeMoss, has paid out to the
farmers of this section over $4,000
for poultry, butter and eggs. They
are just now paying very high
prices for hides and furs. This firm
has made Baxter Springs the best
poultry market in the Southwest.

W. NJ. Gill, rural carrier on Route
No. l, says he has one man at least
on his route who appreciates get
ting his mail at home Instead OF
going several miles after il. That
man is Geo. Nicholson, whose mail
box was buried in a snow drift
which extended out into the road
and for a considerable distance in
each direction. Mr.. Gill says when
he came in sight of the Nicholson
home he could see an immense
drift and wondered how in the
world he could get to the box to
leave the mail, of which he had con
siderable. Upon driving up, how.
ever, what was his surprise to find
the drift cut in two, a big driveway
having been cut by Mr.. Nicholson
from the box and ruuningin either
direction. This snow was about six
feet deep, and Mr.. Nicholson had
cut a driveway wide enough TO
drive the mail wagon through. II
is Just such men az these who make
the mail carriers lot an easy one by
comparison with the way others do.
May Mr.. Mitchelson's shadow never

keep II ready 10 use at the right
time. The use of the drag an hour
or two after each rain will keep the
roads in good condition. The drag
forces the water off of the roadway,
because IL fills up the tracks made
by wagons and leaves the road
smooth. An hour of sunshine after
the drag is used dries the road
nicely and il is In good condition
until the next wet spell. Each far
