power which these strange animals

The mongoos is not a native OF
Egypt, but OF India. You see few
Of them, however, in the possession
Of the fellaheen. IL is possible that
this one had never seen a cobra. pos
sible also that the cobra had never
seen a mongoos; but between the
two species is fixed mortal an
tipathy. And the superiority is in
favor OF the mongoos, which does
not move, ordinarily, with much
speed, but on occasion. like the rat
tlesnake. can spring with astonish'
ing rapidity.
The mongoos was pacing slowly
back and forth, q the full length Of
his tether. hi long, tapering tail
like that OF kangaroo, dropped ano
trailing in the dust. Suddenly the
tail stiffened and the small, ferret
like head rose. He had seen his enc

themselves. and with no apparent
pause. he sprang straight at the os.
cillating, hooded head some eight feet
away.
His powerful leap parted the cor6
which held him 10 his masters hand,
but he overturned himself in his ef'
| fort and sprawled in the dust. Be-

was done the confused furry heap

now elongated form of the mongoos
launched again at his rated enemy,
Just as the young girl wavered, her
hand with the harmonica dropping at
her side, and she fell, unconscious,
upon her side in the dusty street
With unerring aim the mongoos
struck the cobra in the neck, his
body like wise.
Instantly there was a fierce struG-
gle. All that | could distinguish was
confused writhing and twisting;
then the dust of the dry roadway en-
veloped and obscured the combatants
and the PROSTATE form Of the girl.
The fierce, invisible struggle could
not have continued more than few
| seconds.
AS soon as possible ! raised the in
sensible girl from the ground, and
carried her out OF the dust and con-
| fusion TO the sidewalk. A dash OF
water from the brass cup of water
carrier revived mother and daughter;
| and the mother caught the girl In
her arms. Then ! was aware that
the fierce struggle had ceased.
There lay the motionless body OF
the cobra, hideous even in death.
| Near the body the brave mongoos
was pacing back and forth. like a
sentinel on guard. He glanced now

II knocking paid, how easily
We might win freedom from our cares!

IT KNOCKING PAID.

The one who labors all day long
With brawny arms and all his might
Finds that SO very much is wrong,
And, oh, so little that is right
If knocking paid, his wife could wear
Fine gems upon her soft, white hands,
And there would be palace where
His poor, unpainted cottage stands.
Alas, that what is must be so.
That all things are not otherwise!
This world is hut a vale of woe.
Where man must languish till he dies.
The easy things are not the kind
That cause the cares we bear 10 fade,
j do not doubt that We should find
IL hard 10 knock. if knocking paid.

Rural Routes Secured
Through Mr.. Darragh.

".The Charlevolx Courier" formerly
democrat but now posing as republ-
can, says, the claims put forth by Mr..
Darragh's editorial underings" that
he has secured 100 rural routes in his
district as against nine when he be-
came congressman Is an exhibition OF
nerve (which should be resented by
every Intelligent voter" The Courier
is so new in republican Journalism
that its ignorance OF facts is not TO be
wondered at. Had it been one Of the
editorial underlngs" by which cour-
teous name it designates the thirty
or more papers In this district sup
porting Mr.. Darragh, il would know
that June 30, 1901, when Mr.. Darragh
took office, there were just nine rural
routes in this district. That at this
time, Michigan had per cent OF the
routes In the United States while the
eleventh district had but 2.65 per cent.
In other words this district fell 5.35
per cent below the average of the
state, Two years from that time,
Michigan IS percentage was So, while
the percentage OF the eleventh dis
trict had risen to 1891.
From October Is, 1901, to October
10, 1903, there were 81 new routes adj
ded in the eleventh district. These
were located in every county in the
district except Roscommon.
Since then the work has gone stead
lily on, l03 new routes haYing been
added and three counties given com
plete county delivery.
The Courier says, ave had always
supposed that the rural mail business
was part of the postotlice depart
ment." So it is, but the records show
that in 1901, Mr. Darragh secured the
assignment Of Judge Daboll to lay out
a route in Grand Traverse county, the
petition for which had been in one
and One-half years. This was the
first. route laid out in any county
after Mr.. Darragh came into Office.
This was only one instance. Nearly
every one of the first eighty seven
routes obtained had to be fought for
by the congressman. The appropria-
tlons were limited and only those
congressman who were most energetic
for their constituents got anything
at all.
Every petition for complete county
delivery and with two exceptions
every petition for new routes In the
eleventh district in the last FIVE years
has gone directly TO Mr. Darragh, and
been secured by him. The two excep-
tions were first sent to the senator's,
but before anything was done were
turned over TO Mr.. Darragh.
If Mr.. Darragh had nothing TO do
with it, why have all these petitions
been sent to himy The fact is that
until very recently it has been abso--
lutely impossible for any county to
get rural route unless the congress
man did interest himself In il. No
district situate similar to the eleventh
has made anything like its showing.
There are 1919 routes in this district,
JOG in the ninth, 81 in the tenth, and
eight In the twelfth. The econd has
LIN the fifth 145, while none of the
others stands much ahead Of the
eleventh though all located In old
settled and populous counties. 1t is
easy to see how little real knowledge
of the facts the Courier possessed.

SOME NEW DEFINITIONS.

1T is urged by the Morrisites that to
amend defective specifications Is graft,
and 10 repair leaks is steal
In their haste TO show results TO the
people, so that those results could he
used for electioneering purposes, the
old gang rushed the letting OF the con-
tracts for the conduit; they had and
paid for a consulting engineer, but
didn't consult him; they located the
line OF the conduit without letting him
know. and he now says the line is not
where he would have put II. They
made the walls OF the conduit six
inches thick, and he says that for some
places this is not thick enough. they
didn't provide for covering the conduit,
and he says 1t should be covered; they
didn't provide for plasterIng it, and he
says they should by experiment have
asccrtained whether or not plastering
was necessary. But experience shows
that 1t was.
To repair these defects the present
administration orders the necessary
changes. and Will pay $500 TO make
luSll- II IL uiluouDteulS Wise, DuSl-
ness-like' move.
Similarly, In letting the sewer con-
tract, the old gang promptly increased
the Si5o000 which the taxpayers had
voted for the sewer, to upwards of
$500 900, and even then left out some of
the absolutely essential things. the steel
work, the pumps, the motors, These
Will have to be added: without them
the sewer cannot be put In at all. But
to supply these is a steal, q grab and
graft. according to the Morrisite in

According to their logic, to repair a

AN UNEXPECTED DELIVERER.

1t is but two or three years since the
u, S. Steel Corporation was in
adversely; 1t passed dividends on
common stock. and its bond conversion
scheme dragged. But the past year. as
its report just published shows. the old
prosperity returned. This Is but one
more proof OF the general prosperity of
tions showed the receipts from all
sources to have been 1856, ,331, 1856, which
Is the revenue OF an empire; and the
gain over the year before was S140,-
o26,306. which Is n marvellous Increase
The net earnings were S1l9. TSI, ,6SS. this
being an increase of SAC. GIL, 1856 over the
year before. The showing Will probably
enable this corporation to adjust all It's
finances and squeeze some of the water
out Of It's apitalization-a necessary
process to permanent strength.
This mammoth steel corporation is in
Il position now to dictate terms TO other
concerns Even so extensive an asso-
citation as the bituminous coal mine
operators has TO bend TO the u. s. Steel
Corporation. The operators scornfulIy
rejected the application of the miners
for an advance in wages. A strike was
thereupon on the programme, on April
1st. The operators and the miners
failed TO agree. and broke off confer
ring; the conventions of both adjourned.
and the strike seemed sure.
But just then this steel corporation
entered the lists. 1t told the coal oper-
ators that If they allowed a strike of
miners and shut off the supply of coal
the steel corporation would hold them
responsible for breach OF contract In the
supply of coal, and would not only de-
mand damages, but would nullify every
contract 1t had with them. This brought
president of the coal operators associa-
tion that the former rate of wages
would be restored, being an advance of
5.o5 per cent over present pay This
was hailed by the miners representa-
tives as a concession that would avert
strike, and the conventions both of
the miners and of the operators are re-
assembling to arrange the terms of set
tlement, with good prospects of adjust
ing the differences that threatened the
strike
II seems a curious thing that the
great trust which brings the operators
to time when neither the miners them
selves nor the pleadings OF the public
