NIGHT In RATTLESNAKE DEN
Traveller Falls Asleep in Abode of
Poisonous Reptiles.

st. Paul.-John c. Busby, athlete,
scientist and writer, has written to
a friend of his in this city of a, terri
flying experience he had while storm
bound in small hut near Holy Cross,
in Dubuque county. Mr.. Busby tells
his story as follows:
Il left Farley, Iowa, on walking
tour to Buena Vista, 20 miles away.
I had covered half the distance with
out incident when there came I'D a
thunderstorm which compelled me to
look about for shelter. Some little
distance from the road espied an old
cabin and made for it. 1 reached it
just as the storm broke, and finding
it sheltered from the rain, entered
and lying down upon the floor fell
asleep.
"The night was far spent when
was awakened by the warning note
of a rattlesnake. Soon 1 heard others,
and I knew that if I made the slight
est noise the reptiles would be upon
me, so lay breathless, as still as
death itself. Presently a felt the
Shiny body of snake pass across my
chest. 1t made the cold chills chase
themselves up and down my spine
and | thought that surely I would be
bitten. By an almost superhuman
effort, however, managed to control
the muscles of my body until the
snake had wriggled it's way into the
ground. Then with terrific bound

of the opening of the cabin, there
being no door to it.

ence that l almost fell in a faint, but
the beating of the rain soon revived
me. With returning strength my
curiosity was aroused, and going once
more to the door of the hut spflng
my electric light and looked inside.
The place was literally alive with
snakes"

Barr went below to satisfy himself
that the load had been properly dis
tributed and that the work was well

him and he was buried as under an
avalanche. One leg and his ankle were
broken. He managed to clear sufficient
space to get air, but he could not ex-
tricate his body. His calls were not
heard and he lay in his agony helpless
for two days. Then someone heard
his means and he was rescued. There
were only faint signs of life in his
body. He was revived and may re-

the contractor, by accepting, and
throughout the ordeal she did not wa

made on the interior, frail ladder
nine inches wide being the means of
attaining the top.
Mr.. Gursuch assembled first with a
rope tide about his waist, the other
end of which encircled the slender
girth of the young woman. Four
times during the ascent Miss Richey
was obliged to stop for breath and to
recover from dizziness, but she chung

the attack had passed, and then
bravely resumed the climb until the

tically ate the flesh from his fingers

Striped materials, and textures in

ribbon, predominant, on account of the
prevailing desire to appear as slim
as possible. All garments are planned
with this object in view, the second
end aimed at being to place the waist
as high as possible, style which
the very tall will do well to eschew.
At present the woman of moderate

yoke, and tightly fitting cuffs to the
elbow of guipure lined with chiffon

effect. The same applies to a belt of
silk, satin or velvet in the same shade

bows and diminutive steel buckles
up both back and front. Should the

facings of velvet, and vest of lace

the skirt is decorated with crossed

costume shows a combination of ecru

colored velvet, and the bodice is of

suited to those who are fiat across the

lection is the most commonly accepted
theory. This was strengthened by a
rumor that the authorities of the
Geological Gardens of Philadelphia
were out looking for a lost Simian
in Delaware county. But telephone

All the Philadelphia monkeys are safe

Nevertheless, several persons in
Springfield township are so convinced
that there is strange animal prowI-
ing about that they have set traps for
it. Frank Carr is one of them, and
he set number of traps in an en-
closure in the rear of his house near
some woods where the reputed crea-
ture was reported to have been seen.
1t is now stated that the traps were
found broken, the bait devoured and

The practical joker who is working
the scare, if such is the case, has
succeeded to an extent which may
work his own harm. For there are a
number of Delaware county citizens
who, while not getting in Mysteries

big guns in their hip pockets and are
waiting for chance to pot anything
that looks like a baboon.

HAJMDSOZE -AFZEz2WOQW HGONWe7

This seasons fashions demand
three essentials Of the woman who
would be strictly in style, namely, a
practically unlimited exchequer, a
slender figure and a certain distinc-
i've personality, without which the
two former, powerful factors though
they sound, are powerless to achieve
elegance. Nor is it at all sufficient
that woman's proportions be slim,
her income bulky, and her Individual
ity marked, the present vogue goes so
far as to exact that her clothes shall
appear to bear the same relationship
- her as the petals to a flower. She
must not primarily attract attention
on account of her dress, the success
-ful toilet charming by virtue of it's in
Innate association with it's wearer
w Om satisfied imagination fails to
picture in any other style of gown.
There is no disputing that, to the
unfortunate woman blessed with the
necessary qualifications, the prevail
ing modes are prominently becom-
ing. The short-waiSted effects are de-
lightfully old-world and piquant, while
the long clinging skirts make for
grace, which recalls the fact that no
luxurious and prodigal costumer
worthy the name would consent to
take an order for short skirt. The
softest of liberty satins do duty as
lining, and the skirts designed to ac-
company the long high-waisted coats
worn by the leaders of fashion, bear
= little corselet attachments and deep
belts.
An attempted innovation, and one
that has not so far met with an en-
thusiastic reception is to have bodice
and sleeves of different textures. For
example a dress worn on her Eat

sat down to an elaborate eight-course
banquet served by Miss Marguerite
Richey, one of the popular young
women of Danville.
At the foot of the stack was gath

people, greatly interested in the novel
performance. From the top of the
stack fiuttered bunting and flags,
while the banqueters appeared as
mere pigmies.

Darby, Pa.-All Delaware county is
stirred up over the supposed antics of
an alleged wild animal which is as

have frightened belated wayfarers al
most out of their wits in various parts

more timid class are thoroughly
alarmed and fully believe all the tales
that are told about the mysterious
creature.
Those processing to have seen the
wonderful animal, assert that it some
times goes upright like man and
then dashes along on all tours with
marvellous speed, maintaining a queer
galloping gait. They furthermore feel
certain that it has coat of dark
hair, but that is not considered re-
markable, as the weather is cool.
Their stories of how they almost en-
