Native Naturalist Advises How to Dis
arm the Deadly Rather.

Nashville. Tenn.-Anybody who can
whistle need not fear rattlesnake. is
the dictum OF John T. Shelton. Of
Petersburg. Tenn.
Nobody In Petersburg has ever tried
whistling In any emergency OF the
kind. but even Naturalist John Bur-
roughs would not be able to convince
them that 1t would be dangerous
expedient.
Jack" Shelton is man Of authority
In those parts. He carries a gun to
contradicted. and therefore no one has
ever successfully combated him or
found him guilty OF mature fake"
Consequently when he dropped into
the office OF his town paper. the editor
evidently gave him all the space he
needed to enunciate his ideas on the
application Of the whistle to the
rattler.
SHOULD you ever encounter rattle
snake" said Shelton, and It was all
put in cold type forthwith. don't you
be afraid. Don't tight him. Just
whistle softly-ever SO softly-just as
though you were rocking baby to
sleep-something pathetic. II you can
think OF It. In minute you'll see the
gentlest snake possible. He'll close
his eyes and his whole body will

the cry that the hotel was on fire.

Il will put into practice what l have

Then he slipped his watch into his

out of the hotel.
When all danger was past he said:
Now you see how necessary 1t Is to

THE HONEYMOON SPECIAL.

About December 81. If the people
Of Pendleton watch the train sched-
ule closely, they will have the pleas
ure of seeing go through this city one
of the most unique and extraordinary
trains ever crossing the continent
This train will be the famous
Honeymoon Special" a train for
newlv-weds only, and It viii be filled
with brides and grooms only who'
free from the annoyance and anguish
of fun-loving. thoughtless individuals
will be enabled to do all their ollling
and cooling in a crowd where nothing
but billing and cooling goes. Dan
Cupid is to boss the luxurious train
This decided novelty in railway
transportation is to be inaugurated
by the Northwestern Southern Pa
cific and Union Pacific lines and will
leave Chicago December is for 20
davs for the coast. The passenger
list will be confined to newly married
couples.
The idea originated in the fertile
| brain OF =. y. HUTCHINSON manu- 2, ~ .
of the touring department of the
Northwestern and Pacific roads. Mr.
Hutchinson, it is said, is roly-poly and
a fair representative Of cupid. Fo'
years he has observed with anguish
the fact that newly welded couples
are made the butt of much fun and
frequent annoyance on their wedding
trips.
Hence the Honeymoon Special
upon which they can do just as the!
like without any coarse jokes or othel
interference on the part of outsiders
The train itself will be the finest eve
equipped. There will'be a Christina
tree, an unusually fine Christmas din
ner, holiday carols, concerts in tn
library car and the celebration of sew
eral birthdays.
Mr.. Hutchinson is in correspon
dence with a number of couples II
the east who will make the trip. H
watches the announcements of forth
coming marriages and then sends tn
prospective bride and groom an allur
ing circular, setting forth the tremen
dous advantages of the "Honeymoo
Special" He already has accepte
enough to warrant filling up the trail

REMEMBER sTEUNENBERG.

Governor Sparks of Nevada, who
has asked for federal troops to keep
order in Goldnelds, where the union
miners are in revolt and disorder, has
done nothing more than Governor
Frank steunenberg did in the Occur
d'Alenes.
Six years after asking for federal
troops to keep order in the Occur
dAlenes Steunenberg paid for that
act with his life. When asking for
help to keep order in the mining dis
tricts governors should remember the
Caldwell tragedy.
There is no evidence that Mr.. Hay
wood who was acquitted Of compile
ity in the Steunenberg murder has
vet gone to Goldfields to counsel
peace and good order with the miners
which he represents.

ONE AT A TIME HER LIMIT.

1t was In a Washington Sunday
school. The sweet girl teacher had
been telling her class of bright-faced
youngsters about the life of Christ,
and at the conclusion Of her recital
she told the children that she want
ed each one TO promise to try to live
like Christ for the ensuing week.
How many of you," she asked
"will earnestly try to live as did the
Savior until we meet here again next
Sunday?"
Every little listener raised an af-
firmative hand save one-a chubby
girl, the pride and Joy of the teach
er's heart.
"Why, Susie!" said the teacher in
a panied tone. 1T counted on you
So" Tears of disappointment crowd

"Dear Miss Kate" she almost
sobbed, "I should love to do what
you want, but I have promised aunty
to be like George Washington"

A WORM OR A MAN.


II a man alwaysIinsists that he Is
poor. miserable, sinful, guilty worm
he will perhaps always remain such.
Nature has given every man mind
and conscience and ambition and II
he does not use these he will always
grQveI.
But il man stands up manfnlly
In his power, declares his mental in
dependence acts for the best. eXer-
cises his mind and climbs by slow
degrees out OF his unsatisfactory en-
vironment. he can achieve wonders
without the aid of wealth, political
or social pull or any other power out
side of himself.
The religion OF sunshine reaches
that n man is not a worm groveling
in the dust. 1t teaches that the very
God Of heaven is in the human
breast. urging man to higher achieve
ments. better life and broader out
look. Every man who recognizes this
presence of God within. who acts as
though he were himself very god
can climb upward.
Every man can improve his eondi-
ton If he will set his mind to do It.
Newspapers as we'll as ministers
should teach this religion Of sun
shine and progress.
