RATrLEsNAkE IN HIS BED.
Claim Holder Kills Intruder With {
Salmon Can.

Sioux Falls. s. D., Aug. 27-To have
a huge rattlesnake as a bedfellow with
out the reptile burying its fangs in
him was the experience of Arthur
Ricard, a homesteader in the region be
tween the Missouri river and the Block
Hills.
While the snake was moving around
the young man did a rapid-five think
ing. The night before for the evening
repast he and his brother had eaten
the contents of a salmon can, and
the empty can was on a shelf just
above his head.
Watching his opportunity, Picard
cautiously raised his hand toward the
can which he was able to reach.
Grasping the can firmly in his hand,
he again watched his opportunity and
made a lightning-like lunge at the
snake with the jagged edges Of the
can.
His aim proved true, the rough edges
of the can striking the snake squarely
below the head and nearly severing the
head from the body.

Newspapers for the Blind.

The announcement that the LonGon
Daily Mail is about to issue a weekly
edition for the blind. draws attention
to the other British journals published
In Braille type. which have had a long
and useful career. though they have
seldom been seen by the general pub
lie. The first weekly newspaper for
the blind was published on June l.,
1892. and called the Weekly Summary.
It has always been issued below cost
