SNAKE LEApED FOR BIRD ON LADYs HAT

fully with his forked tongue and
blinking his beady eyes in the bright
sun light.
Mrs. Hart came near fainting with
fright and while crowd attracted by
her screams, clustered about her to
know the cause of her fear the snake
leisurely twisted his way under the
door of the west end saloon, few
feet away.
In few seconds there was wilder
commotion within the building than
there had been without. Men who had
come to the saloon for early refresh
ments we're seen to rub their eyes in
wonderment and dismay, while others
mumbled something to themselves
about never taking drink as they
rushed to the door.
And this all came about because La
Belle Carmen, snake charmer at the
Chutes, fell off her horse and was in
iured near Eastlake Park last Sunday.

for by Mrs. Nellie E. Hart, of the Pei

who had the unique experience of hav-
ing a big boa constructor attempt to
snatch a stuffed canary from her hat
as she left her hotel, almost in the
heart of Los Angeles.

screams apparently frightened the
snake, for he released his hold on the
narrow ledge from which he was sus-
pended and dropped directly into the
arms of the terrified woman.
She cast the wriggling, shiny mon
ster from her with scream of horror,
but he seemed to take no exception
to his treatment, as he squirmed about
on the sidewalk, feeling his way care

WESTERN DESERTS ARE MADE TO BLOOM
Millions of Desolate Acres to Be Made Fertile by Irrigation

Thirty million acres of land in the
great American desert will be made in

Mr.. Blanchard stated that the plan

calls for the erection of irrigating
works at an expenditure of S38, 900, 900

of the land benefited. Thirty-two
contracts for the building of dams
have been let and three years will be

Recent School Examination in Col
quit Most Rigid One.
The recent examination of appli-
cants for teachers licence held at Nor
man Park was one of the most rigid
that has been held in this county and
very few of the applicants obtained
first grade license. More were given
second or third than first, and of the
three negro applicants, none of them
were able to get license.
There were thirty applicants in all,
twenty-seven of them being white and
three colored. Six of the white APP
plicants received first grade license,
nine of them were given third grade.
There were five whites, and three col
ored who received no license at all.
Every year it is requiring better
women and men to pass the required
examination to teach in the public
schools, 1t will soon come to pass
that only those who equip themselves
in colleges, normal schools, insti-
tutes, ETC., will be accepted as teach

RUSSELL SAGE'S CLOSENESS
Many Stories Are Told of the Great
FinanCier's Stingness With
His Money.

Russell Sage became famous for two
things-his great fortune and his
"closeness" with money. If he knew
how to make money he also knew how
to keep it. The stories that have been
told and printed to illustrate his
closeness would fill volumes. Stand
ard Jokes in New York are about his
lunching off an apple and buying Il
1898 suit of clothes each second year.
Another well-worn story is that when
a canvasser for a deserving charity
sought contribution from him and
handed him the subscription list he
saw written on it ''Mrs. Russell Sage,
So" Taking up his pen he wrote at
the beginning of the line, 'Mr. and, "
and handed back the paper
with the kindliest and most be-
neyolent of smiles. Of course, all OF
these old stories were much exagger-
ated, still there must have been some
basis for them or they never would
have existed.
And yet it may be that there was a
side to Mr.. Sage's character that the
public even his intimates- never saw,
saws the Savannah News. 1t is posi-
BILE that he was charitable and gave
secretly. 1t is well known that Mrs.
Sage is a charity worker who has
made substantial contributions to
many worthy causes. Years of asso-
citation with such a wife must have
made an impression upon the hus-
band. The public will, of course, be
anxious to know what Mr.. Sage did
with his money; how he divided IT,
and who the benefciaries are, and
how large an estate he left. Some
DAYS or weeks will probably elapse
hefnre these facts become available.

and the government has been required
to build its own cement mill, but when
constructed the dam will maintain the
largest artificial lake in the world.
On the Shoshone river in Wyoming
the highest dam in the world is in
process of construction, and on the
lower Colorado river an immense dam
is being constructed. In South Da-
kota near the Black Hills an earthen
dam mile long will create the largest
lake in the state.
In many places the work of recla-
nation has been completed, and r.
900 acres of the most desolate land in
Nevada is now being furnished water
by the government, and 10000 acres
will be reclaimed this year in that
state.
Railroads in the west are extending
their lines to reach the reclaimed
lands and settlers are gradually con-
verting the irrigated territories into
fertile farms. New towns are spring
ing up and homes are being provided
for thousands of families.

HELD JOB FOR 43 YEARS
The Postmaster of Warm Springs
Received First Appointment from
President Jefferson Davis.

Itmay not be generally known that
Thomas Francis Tidmarsh, the veter-
an postmaster at Warm Springs, re-
ceived his first appointment from
President Jefferson Davis, and has
been serving continuously as post
master ever since.
For 43 years he has faithfully dis
charged the duties of the office, which
although modest has its cares and re-
sponslbilities, and few examples OF
such close attention to duty are on re-
cord, Mr.. Tidmarsh is naturally
nroud of the fact that his administra-
ton as postmaster of Warm Springs
began under the president of the Con-
federacy. 1t is doubtful if there is an
other instance like this on record.
Although handicapped by age and
nhvsical limitations, Mr.. Tidmarsh is
one of the most energetic men on the
Hill. He arises every morning at 5:3U
o'clock az this time of the year and
wakes up the hotel servants and from
then until late at night he is steadily
engaged. He sleeps on a cot in his
store building where the postoffice is
located, and as the long distance
teIenhone is in that building he fire.

LION sCAREs TATNALL PEOPLE

Mothers Are Keeping Their Child
rem in Doors After Dark.
The lower section of Tatnall county
is pretty we'll scared because a wild
lion has been seen in that community.
Mothers are keeping their children in
doors after dark and posses of deter
mined men are trying to run down the
unwelcomed visitor and put him to
death. One day last week the beast
was seen on Mr.. Brooks Harvey's
place, between Morrison and Grove
land. Mr.. Harvey could not kill him
at that time, as he did not have his
gun. The lion was seen by both Mr..
and Mrs. Harvey. 1t was very large
and appeared quite ferocious. Since
then it has been heard roaring in the
vicinity by several people at night.
AS far as can be learned, it has not
carried away any hogs or cattle and
the people are wondering what it lives
on. Several searching parties have
gone out for the beast, but they have
not been successful i'm capturing him.
About two years ago Mr., David
Beasly killed lion near Groveland.
He has it stuffed at his home now.
This one is suid to be very much like
the one Mr.. Beasly killed and many
think it is possibly his mater. Until
the new arrival is slain there will con-
tinue to be excitement.

Many Millions of Them Have Been
Hidden Somewhere.
Where are the dimes? More than
81, 000,0 900 of them were drawn out of
the United States treasury in two days
last week, and the demand is still
strong. The New York banks report
heavy drafts of dimes, until now the
aggregate of such coins in that great
financial center is only about $l3O, 900,
while Baltimore banks have only
about $4,000 of them. One treasury
official attributes the scarcity to the
vacation season. He says that annu-
ally women and children, and some
men also, procure dime savings banks
which they proceed to fill leisurely
with odd change in anticipation of
the midsummer holidays. With tens
of thousands of persons putting away
little coins daily it doesn't take a
great while for the effect to be felt.
If that theory is correct the scarcity
will be relieved before long, as the
little savings banks are being broken
open with a succession of cracks like
reeds in hot fire.

Back from Europe with her moth

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Ogden
Armour who was born helpless, is at

The little heiress, who suffered from
a congenital dislocation of the hip,

little Miss Armour visited DR.. Lorenz,
who announces that in very short
time an entire cure will be effected.
AS yet she walks with a limp that is
scarcely noticeable.
In place of a helpless invalid, a

her constant playfellows little Bel
