Snake Story.

thousands of snakes of the pine
species, measuring from six to seven
feet long, are again creating havoc
at the Farm dam, near Oconto. The
reptiles undermined the dam in the
spring Of 1906, and it had to be re-
built. During the work of reconstruc.
ton, the snakes greatly retarded the
workmen, becoming so bold as to
crawl on the tables while the mon
were at mess. Guards have been
placed at the dam, and one. Hugh
Herald, killed forty-five in one day.
none less than seven feet long. Great
destruction will result should the dam

Happiness.
When We have learned that happiness
Is of ourselves a willing part,
The subtitle something in the mind
That waits to cheer the troubled heart
When we have learned that wealth and
show
Have naught to do with giving JOY,
Then will philosophy be king
And living purged of all alloy.
Tis not the jewels nor the crown.
Nor yet the awesome titled name,
tbs not emolument nor pelf.
Nor high estate nor living fame,
That gives the happiness We seek
Or brings the pure contentment
sought
tbs only knowing how to fill
The heart with cheerful, wholesome
thought,
1t does not help to fret and chafe
Or pine for far off tinsel things.
Contentment has no room to thrive
Where diSContentment grows it's stings,
lie only magnifies his Ills
Who broods upon his pressing woe.
It's better far to dwell on JOY
That strives to ride the undertow!
Think always of the golden-glow
That blooms beside your snug abode,
And take no thought Of sitting weed
That grows along the dusty road
Let in the peace shut out the thought
OF surging troubles that annoy,
And teach your heart to cultivate
The fragrant buds of peace and joy!
Turn back the blighting curse, Unrest!
Scourge ever valiantly the snake
THAT seeks to sink it's poisoned fangs
Within your heart for Dlscord's sake.
-eep out the blight, let in the sun
And learn how Happiness will grow
Il only you will give it room
To I'll Your heart with golden-glOW!

Ii is said that as the result OF experiments
MADE last summer in carrying refrigerated
meats the system was changed and in
stead of accepting the meats from the
packers and supply contractors at New
York, they were required to deliver sound
meat at Colon. To that end the contractors
We're allowed to put their own engineers I'm
charge OF the refrigerating plants on the
Panama railroad steamers, and held re-
sponsible for results.
The meat is now bought under contract
from Nelson Morris & Co at a base price
fixed by the regular daily market quota
lions at Chicago. and it is positively stated
at the commission offices that the prices
are actually lower for the average cuts ON
board steamer than those for cattle ON thu
hoof in Chicago. The contractors RESPONSE
bllity for the conditions of the meats ceases
when they are landed at Colon where the
zone commissary takes hold and distributes
the meat along the line of the canal Re-
frigerator cars are provided for that pur-
pose, and If they are not properly iced and
cleaned the fact should be patent to every
body on the work. as the cars are loaded
discharged and run under the eyes of every
worker on the line, and it is presumed that
reports Of faults in the system would have
certainly reached Washington before this
time. Moreover the medical reports fail
to show any such prevalence Of intestinal
diseases might be expected to follow the
use of spoiled meats.
Relative to the statement that excessive
prices are charged by the zone storekeepers
for Shoes 1t Is said at the commission Of
fees that all clothing and shoes are pur-
chased in this country by contract from the
lowest bidders for goods up to sample.
These in turn are sold by the government
to the workers IN the zone at cost plus the
freight and handling expenses, which are
small In the matter of shoes 1t is said
that there is a great demand for such as
are supplied here to the regular army, and
to meet that demand the zone commissary
has been getting the shoes through the
quartermaster generals department at the
same price that the soldiers pay. 1t is sug.
gested that the shoes upon which the crit.
icism was based were out of the regular
line of supplies, and therefore more expen~
stve to handle on the isthmus.
