a STORM IN rHg JUNGLE.

Giant waterfall.

People who have never been I'm a
jungle talk OF the sky as painter
talks OF the horizon or a seafaring man
OF the ofting-as II when you wanted
to see II you only need use your eyes.
But In the jungle you don't see the

TIER do you feel the wind bolwing, nor
get burned or dazzled by the sun. nor
even see that lumlnary except by mo-
meatary glirnpses about midday, from
which Il follows that jungle man does
not usually pretend to be weatherwise.
III he does he Is even a greater hum
bug than the rest OF the Weather proph-
cts. On the afternoon about which we
are speaking l remember setting forth
on my walk In the still glow OF the
tropical calm and wondering rather at
the intense stiffness OF the surrounding
forest. Then the air grew cooler and
the green OF the foliage In front seemed
to deepen. and presently there was a
sound as OF a giant waterfall In the
distance. Waterfalls do not. however.
grow louder every second. whereas the
noise In front did so. Then there was
a loud. angry growl. as OF n dozen
lions. A minute more and the whole
jungle began TO roar as II fifty squad
rons of heavy cavalry We're coming up
at a gallop. Then came a drop OF rain
and a peal or thunder which seemed to
make the world stop.
Then the storm began. The sky
above darkened: the trees clattered;
the brushwood beneath Kissed and bow

ted cat the narrow view. Down Il

leaves under which one fed for refuge.

lions Of dull thuds, dashing furiously
against the leaves as IL they were so
many hostile shields, streaking the air
with insumerable perpendicular lines
and hurting itself down with the force
or bullets.
In such downpour one may as well
walk and get wet as stand still and get
wet. Unfortunately one did not know
where to walk to- The "circumbendi-
bus system" presupposes the fact that
the wagon wheels and bullock tracks
can be seen and noted. but when the
cart track is no longer n cart track. but
''all turned to rushing waters" such
tracks cannot be seen. and unless you
have n pocket compass you may as
well try to fly as TO get back TO where
you came from. When one reads OF
travellers lost in the backwoods. they
always steer by the sun-and probably
very badly-but when there is no sun

Lee VS.. Cleveland.

Forty years ago Robert +. Lee
was offered the Presidency of the
Northern Life Insurance Company
at a salary large enough for those
days He wrote that he 'hadn t
the ability nor the experience to
command such asalary.' He was
told that his name was worth it.
What influence l have with the
Southern people is not for sale, >
said Lee. That ended the negotia-
tons.
Doubtless General Lees reply
would have been the same had
three New York life insurance
companies offered him an annual
salary of $4,000 to act as rebate

An Old Land Deed

During the examination of title
to the Gaines Neck" Farm, which
was offered for sale last month. a
number of interesting facts we're
brought to light.
The original deed to this land
was given by Thomas, Lord Fair
fax, Baron of Cameron, to MARQUIS
Calmeze (note the old spelling).
and Is dated December Is, 1747.
The deed Is recorded in Richmond
A number of points in the
boundary line are still to be seen
and recognized. In one place the
deed specifics a point opposite
Spout Run" which name has con-
tinued to this day.
In another place it speaks Of the
bluff at opposite end of the long
island"
In still another place the deed
mertiOus a white oak tree" as
one of the boundary points, and in
another deed to this land, dated
l2O years after the original. or in
1865, this same tree is mentioned.
and is called Large white oak
tree, y the years having greatly in
creased its size. The tree still
stands, and in some subsequent
deed it viii probably be termed a
very large old white oak tree

Address Of Coy. R. B. Glenn.

BY request, we publish the fol-
lowing from the Virginia Call:
The recent Convention of North
Carolina w. c. T. u. was held in
Raleigh and the address of welcome
IN behalf of the State was given by
the Governor. The following ex-
tracts are taken from the North
Carolina White Ribbon:
a man must take a square out
unmistakable stand for the right
or FOR the wrong, for righteousness
or for evil, for happiness or for
misery, for justice or for oppres-
sion. As for ME / am heart and
soul against the liquor traffic.
There is nothing advanced,
either in the industrial or the moral
sphere, by strong drink except the
liquor traffic itself. Can you point
to me any benefit resulting from
the sale of liquor except to the
pocketbook of the man who en-
cages in the traffic. can see none.
The great corporations and the
business men have set their con-
demnation upon those who indulge
in strong drink. Did you ever
hear of preference being shown to
the employee who drank On the
other hand you have seen in
stance after instance of failure
to secure employment or pro-
motion because the man used
liquor. Men who indulge in any
thing stronger than coffee are not
employed by many influential cor
porstlons. Do you yant a physi-
clan who drinks to administer to
you or your family? Doyuu want

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Some people are simply acting nat
ural when they are kicking.
Do the right thing by all of your
friends. and you haven't anything bu,
the core OF the apple left.
People with real troubles do not care
as much for sympathy as they do &c
nave their trials as inconspicuous as
possible.
When a man says that he has not a
friend In the town where he lives you
can depend on 1t that the town is not
to blame
Don't forget that your actions are
measured as critically all through life
as Is the borrowed butter YOU return
to neighbor

sober second thought, we notice that
the longer we aim the more liable we
are to miss the mark.-Atchison Globe

The PythOns Are Enormous and Feed

In the Sarawak Gazette is an article
on the snakes Of that part OF Borneo.
or the poisonous reptiles IL says: The
cobra (NaJa tripudlans) is black
snake which raises its head 20 strike
when irritated. at the same time ex.
panding the hood at either side OF the
neck. IL spits at intruders and Kisses
like a cat. whence II is known as
''ular tedong puss;" I'm some parts. too,
as 'tedOng mata hari." The word "te-
dong" In Sarawak is apparently ap.
piled 20 all large snakes which Malays
consider TO be poisonous, and. as our
Malays are but IN acquainted with
these animals. quite a number OF large
but harmless forms are designated nv
this term. The hamadryad (Naja bun
|. garus) is a brown snake. considerably
bigger but rarer than the cobra. II Is
rather shy, but when cornered. like
the cobra, II raises its head and ex.
pands the hood before striking. Its
food is chiefly other snakes.
Less dangerous than these naias
are the vipers. OF which the most
common species is the green viper.
which reaches n length OF two feet or
more. The head is large and shaped
Ike an ace OF spades. This creature Is
tree snake and very sluggish. The
'bungarus' are OF several species. one.
Bungarus fasciatus, OF length up 10
four feet being black with yellow
rings. IL is called the 'ular buku tebu'
sugar cane joints by natives. There
are also sea snakes OF many species.
The tail OF a sea snake Is flattened
and oarlike"
Sarawak has other snakes: "Of the
pythons there are two species. Py.
thon reticulatus grows To an enor
nous size, over twenty feet. II is
very fond OF pigs. but varies its diet
by various animals. including even
children. The oil OF this snake IS used
by Malays as an embrOcation for
bruises. The other species OF python.
Python curtus, Is interesting i'm that
It's flesh tastes like that OF fowl-at
least, so Dyaks say. and they are au.
thoriues on snake flesh, for they eat

it would be n worldwide calam-

from its liver surpasses all other
fats in nourishing and life-giving

the proprietors of SCOTS Emul-

cod liver oil so that everyone can
