The Blacksnake.

I have never seen a blacksnake over
seven feet long, and much doubt if they
grow to greater length. They are not
hard to catch, though in an open field
can. When caught they struggle des-
peratelv until they find there is no ~
portunity to escape, when they will give
up fighting and may be handled with
ing over the Brandywine Hills, a black
snake stuck his head out OF a hole in an
old apple tree, about six. feet from III:
when he saw me. Then I lighted a little
piece of paper and dropped it in the hole.
In just about a second the snake started
through the hole my companion grabbed
him around the neck. ! took hold Of the
tail as it appeared and we stretched nir,l
out full length and measured him-:live
feet and a half He did not fight much,
but this may. have been caused by his

loose and went wriggling off into the
swamp. Farmers in this part OF the
country do not like to have the black.

EBEN Il. BYERs, NEW GOLF CHAMPION.

being at one time t down.
The win was, of course, immensely
popular for the reason that the golfers
did not relish the idea of having the
title go across the border. For all that,
the rousing sendof that was given the
veteran Canuck at the finish must have
made him feel like hero.
Lyon has made hundreds of friends
by this latest invasion into the states,
and whenever he plays again there will
always be Il large number ready to
flock to his standard.
Byers deservedly Won. He has been
knocking at the championship door for
several years. This makes the third
time he has reached the finals. Byers
has been playing golf for eight years.
Young Byers, trim in knickerbockers
and with a style modelled on the meth
cd of classic st. Andrews and Sand
witch, was a contrast in every way to
the stocky. gray haired old time anna
teur cricket player who stood in fan
mel trousers and light shirt, as if ready
TO bowl or bat.
Both the golfers who battled in the
finals for the amateur championship
were men of championship caliber.
Byers when at Yale was captain of
the team and won the Yale golf cham
pionship.
In the national championship of 1902
Byers was runner up to Louis n.
James at Glen View (near Chic6po)
and a year later to Walter J. Travis at
Nassau (Glen Cove. y. ". Last year
at Wheaton, Ill, Byers put out Jerome

SERMON BETWEEN INNINGS.
Beioft (Wfs.) Pastor Addressed spec
tators at a Sunday Hall Game.

Beioit CWfs) Pastor Addressed Spec
tators at a Sunday Hall Game.
The novelty of a religious address
between innings at a Sunday baseball
game was given to big Beloit wis.,
crowd the other day, when the Rev
Joseph Garden, rector of st. Pauls
Episcopal church, one of the fashion
able congregations of Beloit, preached
on the diamond. The sermon was Civ
en- at the request of the management
of the City league, says Beloit dig
patch.
Two games were scheduled, and
when the first was over DR.. Garden
was introduced and spoke for seven
teen minutes, using the Fourth Com
mandment for his text, Remember
the Sabbath day, to keep 1t holy"
The fact that it had been advertised
that he would speak drew numerous
prominent citizens to attend who are
not frequenters of Sunday games.
Mr.. Garden presented the rights of
all men to seek recreation on Sunday
according TO the dictates of their own
conscience and said as there was Il
SIdlt l'loS pthAA va A1NAA
day every person participating was a
law breaker. Turning to Mayor Cum
bingham, he said:
IF j were mayor of Beloit or the
head official of the county games
would be stopped until the laws were
changed. and 1 wouldn't let any one
buy liquor on Sunday either"
After discussing public morals Mr..
Garden said poor men should be care
full to keep the law. as their violations
made it easier for the wealthy classes
to violate the law and do greater dam
age than the poor men could do. MIR.
Garden took the meat trust to task,
saving its members were canning hoofs
and horns for workingmen to eat.
The preacher said he considered the
matter of Sunday observance thing
for individual discretion. Working
men had as much moral and religious
right to be present there as the wealthy
men had to seek pleasure and recrea-
ton in their automobiles.
Mr.. Garden spoke strongly against in
temperance, saying it was the worst
evil workingmen had to contend with.
He expressed sympathy with working
men in their daily struggles and urged
a high ideal In life. He thought they
should try to obtain a law requiring
weekly pay days and cash payments
instead of checks on banks to be cashed
in saloons or stores.
Mr.. Garden came to Beloit recently
from Winthrop. Mass, and has gained
popularity with the men. 1t is doubtful
if the Sunday sermon will be repeated,
however, for while the speaker received
the most respectful attention and was
heartily applauded many fans" are OPP
posed to the idea.

FAME FROM WHISTLlNG.
All Washington Trying to Initiate
Congressman Fulkcrson's TriIIs.

Congressman Fulkerson's TriIIs.
The last hour of the first session of
the Fifty-ninth congress was enlivened
by songs and whistling. the whistling
being a feature contributed by Repre-
sentative F. B. Fulkerson of the
Fourth Missouri district. says a Wash
ingtor correspondent of the New York
Sun.
Mr.. Fulkerson whistled to the amuse-
ment of both his colleagues and the
galleries. There was peculiar trill
to his warbling notes, and the acoustic
properties of the hall of the house of
representatives aided in impressing up
on the audience the talent of the con-
gressional whistler and the happy Sc
lection of his airs.
Even Uncle Joe Cannon was affected
by the reverberating echoes and re-
echoes of the Fulkerson trill. Since
then everybody from the small boy to
the lingering society belle in Washing
ton has been after that trill. and the
spell has even extended to Mr.. Fulker-
sons colleagues, for a remaining mem
Der was caught the other day in Il
Washington hotel lobby practicing the
Fulkerson mouth pucker.
There is an interesting unpublished
story of the discovery of Mr.. Fulker-
sons whistling talent
Last spring, not long after Senator
Warner came on to Washington, il
was observed by some one of the Mis-
souri, colony in Washington that there
were SO many new members, and Re
publicans at that, that there should be
a special meeting of all Missourians
at the national capital, In due time
Carroll hall was secured for the occa-
sion, and one Saturday night all the
Missourians in Washington were on
hand to meet one another and become
better acquainted.
The programme was arranged SO that.
each one Of the new Republican mem
bers from the state should be called on
for an imprOmptu talk. Finally it came
FulkersOn'S turn to do something. So
completely had the federal pie Ques-
ton and the greatness of old Missouri
been gone over by the previous speak
ers that some one suggested that If
nothing else could be said Fulkerson
should just whistle, not dreaming that
the request was made of one of the
most expert whistlers in the country
Mr.. Fulkerson complied and enter
That was the way Fulkerson's MARBLE
was discovered, at least to Missourians
in Washington.

It was magnificent Offering and
perhaps one o fthe most valuable

of potatoes. the other ears having
been purchased by the Union Paci-
