The Clever Hoop Snake.

That hoop snakes roll up hill I can
vouch for on the authority of a man
by the name of Bell, whom l knew
il Ohio, and whose statements were
accepted as Gospel truth. Out on his
farm he had four hoop snakes that
were as tame as kittens, and seemed
to understand everything he said to
them.
On one occasion Bell started at
cider-making, and after the press was
started and the cider began to fill
the first barrel it was found that the
juice began to run out of the barrel
joints because the hoops had not been
frightened. The tools necessary to
drive in the hoops were some distance
away at the house, and it began to
look as il the entire barrel Of cider
would be lost. But the pet hoop
snakes took in the situation, and two
of them voluntarily surrounded the
barrel and held it tight, until the
hired man came with the necessary
tools.
Bell told me that it was custom
of the snakes in cider-making time to
imbibe cider until they became frisky.
and then start to run races. They
had favorite course down a hill
for some 200 yards, and in returning
always came back in hoop shape

An Immense Peach Orchard.

Wenatchee, Washington, The first

The orchard when all planted will

The planting and care Of the large
orchard are in charge of A. Van Hol-
dereke, who is associated with L. Me-
Lean III the enterprise. Mr.. Mclean
who is now Spokane capitalist and
promoter, homesteaded 160 acres Of
the land several years ago.
Referring to the undertaking, Mr..
Van Holdereke said: eve expect
to begin laying the pipe next week
which Will carry water to the trees
already planted. This will be six
inches in diameter and mile and a
half long. The orchard will be irri-
gated by water from springs situated
above the land.

in grapes. There will be 500 acres in
this fruit. Terraces will be made and

Postmaster in Trouble.

Rev. Isaac A. DeLoach colored, who
has been the postmaster at Burdette
for sixteen years or more has been
checked up short by postoffice inspec-
tors to the amount of $1,000. De-
Loach has long been a leader in the
church and in the education of the
colored race in this section and has
held the confidence of all. He is away
from home most of the time preaching
and working for the Greenville Col
lege, and he says that the shortage
is due to the carelessness or work
of those who have been in charge of
the office during his absence. DeLoach
paid up the shortage, and on the
charge of being short was bound over
to the federal grand jury in bond
of $3.50, which he readily gave. Those
who know DeLoach best do not be.
lieve that he wilfully Incorporated
the governments funds.

Much Time and Money.

The War Department is beginning
to lose patience with the Senate Com
mittee for dilly-dallying with the
Brownsville affair, so that the Gov
eminent is being deprived of the ser
vices of the Twenty-ffth Infantry II
the Philippines. It now appears GER
tain that at least the three troops
implicated B. G. and D.-will be
held till well along in July, if not lat
er. The other troops can not well be
sent ahead for many Of the men and
officers Of the others are being called
from day to day as witnesses.
"A number of officers have beer
called from a distance taking them
away from important assignments
to- tell the Committee what they know
Of the affair at Brownsville. Many
Of them, it develops, have managed
to get away quickly after assuring tn.
Committee that they have little OF
no knowledge bearing upon the shoot
up Of the town Of Brownsville last
August. Still, calling the officers te
Washington from different parts OF
the country is expensive as matter
of railroad fare, hotel bills, etc., and
the army will be glad when it is al
over.

rotary, with Governor Vardaman, as
ex-officio chairman, met in the Gov
ernor's office. The purpose of the
meeting was to make final decision
as to plans and designs for the State
Memorial in the National Park. Al
chltect r. Ell. Hunt was in consulta-
ton with the Commission, which after
careful study of the FIVE designs
submitted, made final selection. This
design is one Of grace and beauty
classic in idea and thoroughly typical
the structure to be a granite obelisk
mounted upon a twenty-four-foot pc
destal, the whole to be seventy-three
feet high. The Grecian style OF sculp-
ture will prevail, with a series of al
legeroical friezes, with figures in has
relief, typical of the scenes incident
to the siege of Vicksburg. On the
front, surmounting a cap, which will
be supported by Ionic columns, will
be a statue seated symbolical of his
tory. This design is the work of
Sculptor F. E. Triebel, Of New York
specimens Of whose work have been
seen and studied by the Commission
and the choice was unanimous. II
is estimated that the cost will approx
innate $4,000, the Commission hav-
ing an appropriation Of $4,000 at
their disposal for the purpose of
building a general state monument
and for supplying twenty-five position
markers to be placed at different
parts Of the area. The Mississippi

MRS. AYREs WILL SUE.
Will Demand 100000 Damages From
Army Officers.

The announcement that Mrs. Ayres
wife of Lieutenant Colonel Charles
G. Ayres, U. S. A., intends to sue for
damages in the amount Of 100000
from Colonel Fl. L. Scott, Superinten-
dent of the Military Academy; Lieu
tenant Colonel r. L. Howse, Com
mandant of Cadets; Captain L. w.
Oliver, Assistant Instructor Of Tao
tics, and Lieutenant Colonel S. C.
Mills, Inspector General is received
with surprise and disapproval by the
War Department.
Mrs. Ayres has been much in the
newspapers Of late, while her hus-
band has engaged official attention
for his arbitrary disciplinary methods
towards subordinate officers of his
cavalry regiment Mrs. Ayres sent
complaints to the President against
the officers at West Point for alleged
prejudices shown against her son. The
situation reached a climax in the
overcoat incident at West Point on
Easter Sunday, when Colonel Howse
ordered the return to the authorities
of cadet overcoats lent to girl visitors
by the young men to whom they were
issued. The War Department has COM
municated to Colonel Ayres the fact
that it is desirable that Mrs. Ayres
keep away from the Military Acade-
my while her son is connected with
the Corps Of Cadets. There can be
no doubt Of the meaning Of the mes
sage, and Colonel Ayres will be held
responsible for any further distur-
Dances created by his wife.
