q How Huge Objects Are Swallowed.

How can a snake swallow an animal
Of greater circumference than itself9
The snakes lower jaws are Joined to
the head and to each other by elastic
and the stomach stretch like rubber and
enable comparatively thin snake to
swallow a large morsel. No snake can
chew it's food or even tear off pieces
from it's prey. All stories to that eff
feet are fables, Snakes do not need
food as regularly as warmblooded ami
mails. After a big meal, they can fast
tor weeks and even months without
harm, but if, kept permanently without
food they will starve.

Snake Superstitions Mostly False.

There are many interesting points
connected with the habits and Structure
of snakes, and many are the popular
superstitions current about them. ~
There IS the story about the hoop
snake that takes it's tail into it's mouth
and rolls along like a hoop in fierce
pursuit of you. The whole hoopsnake
is a myth. No snake moves that way.
A snake moves by means of it's numer-
to the backbone: The lower ends Of
the ribs are pushed forward and then
pulled back, while the scales zof the
abdomen catch on the ground, the
grass or brush. and thus the whole body
is pulled along. On a smooth surface
like a cement sidewalk, a snake moves
with some difficulty =..,-5 ~. :.

Snakes Are skilful Fishers.

Did you ever see a snake fshs Some
Of them are quite expert at it. Once
l.. came upon a big garter snake that
was making things unpleasantly lively
for the minnows in a little pool The
poor little fish were darting about in
great fright, while the hungry serpent
just caught and swallowed one after
another.
The most peculiar case of a snake
fishing | met on a small alder-f ringed
trout stream in northern Minnesota. I
felt heavy strike and saw something
whitish. When I tried to reel in the
hook would not come. At first I thought
I had hooked the veteran trout that
had .e1uded me on several trips; but
soon my hook came out empty But
that moving object was still in the
same spot. I bent down and, to my
utter surprise, there was garter snake
cooled around dead twig and COM
pletelY. submerged in the cold water;
He evidently had been fishing for small
trout and insects and had struck at,
my fly. 7 took him out and soon found
the wound in his upper jaw, where my
hook had been torn out. SsI

How to Distinguish Poisonous Snakes.

@40" ~ D4ooAA3u4oA I O1oOl4OuS 9udAGS.
Is there any way to distinguish the
harmless snakes from the poisonous
ones2 There is no general rule for this
purpose. The only way to do is to be-
come acquainted with the snakes of
ones own region. The black snakes,
the tiny red and green grass snakes,
garter snakes and blow snakes are
harmless. The rattlesnakes and water
moccasins are poisonous. -. q.
An easy way to catch an innocent
snake. is the following: Put your foot
on the snake just behind the head, so
that It cannot turn its body around or
twist its head around. Then grasp it
firmly right behind the head, and it
is absolutely in your power and can
not blte you. In this way I have Sc
cured for purposes Of study any num-
Der Of our innocent snakes without be-
ing bitten. One must. not throw his
weight on the animal so as to iniure
it. AS to poisonous snakes, I either
kill them or leave them alone. They
are too dangerous to take home

Price had just gotten over pro-

itor to the Windsor house, Fred
Bartlay, few days ago that he in
tended to kill himself. Mr.. Bartlay
said that he talked him out of the
idea at the time and helped to sober
him up. He then promised not to
drink any more. This was his New
Years resolution. He kept it to
the end.
1t is said that he was in love
with married woman who would
not reciprocate his proffered atten-
ton. This is why he committed
suicide. The body now lies at the
undertaking establishment of A. l..

none here and no one seems to know

BLOWS OUT HIS BRAINS
WITH q CAL|BRE RIFLE
LEWIS I. PRICE, PAINTER, GOES SUICIDE ROUTE
DeSpOndent and FriendIess Man, Tired of Life
Kills Himself With Shot Through
the Brain.

At GAO o'clock last evening in a
room at the Windsor hotel, on North
Second street, the dead body of
Lewis T. Price was found. His
head was found lying in pool of
blood at the foot of the bed on the
floor, and by his side lay a % cal
ibre Marlin rifle. With this he had
killed himself by placing the muzzle
of the gun at his left temple and
working the ejector lever three
times in rapid succession, undoubt-
edly requiring great nerve, two of
the balls entering his head, the third
missing. He left no written state
ment that could be found, assigning
reasons for the rash act. He had
been dead for several hours when
found No one in the hotel seems
to have heard the shot. A % calibre
rifle would not make loud report,
however, when fired.
The deceased had lived in mis-
city for the last two years. He was
a sign painter by trade and belong
ed to a painters union in Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada. He had among
his effects a certificate showing his
union to be 1915. There were no
letters or anything else found in
his room that would lead to any in
formation concerning his relatives.
