Used POISON OF RATrLEsNAKE.
Preparation That Made War Arrows Of
Cherokee Indians Deadly.

An old Cherokee Indian recently
gave away the secret how the Indians
OF olden times used to poison their ar
row heads for war purposes or for
Killing bears, according to the Denver
h1cld and Farm. They took a fresh
deer liver, fastened 1t to a long pole,
and then went to certain places where
they knew they would find rattle.
snakes In abundance. About midday
the rattlers are all out Of their dens,
colled up In the cooking sun. The
DUCKS would poke the first rattler
they found with the liver on the long
pole. A RATHER, unlike common snakes,
always shows fight in preference to
escaping The snake would thus re.
peatedly strike at the liver with it's
1angs until its poison was all used up
Whereupon it would quit striking and
Try Slowly to move on. The bucks
would then hunt up another RATHER
and repeat the performance, keeping
UP the work until the liver was we'll
soaked with snake poison Then the
pole was carried home and fastened
somewhere in an upward position until
the liver became as dry as bone.
Inc liver was then pounded to q fine
powder and placed in buckskin bag,

rms powder would stick like glue to
any moistened surface and was death

CIGAR THAI LASTS ALL DAY.
Device Of the Ease-Loving Indians of
South America.

Cigars a foot and half long,
which are made for one days smok-
ing, have been placed on view in the
American Museum Of Natural His
tory at New York. With them is a
holder which looks like tuning fork
and is large enough to be used for
pitching hay.
Far up the Rio Nigra, tributary Of
the Amazon, two explorers, Henry
Schmidt and Louis Weiss, made a col
lection of articles for the museum.
The Indians there made cigars IS
inches long and as big around as a
child's arm. One of these cigars is
too much for any ease-loving man to
clasp, so the Indians put the fragrant
roll between the tines of a fork two
and half feet long, stick the sharp
end Of the handle into the ground at
a convenient distance from their
hammocks, and take a puff from time
to time as they sway lazily backward
and forward.
There are many other picturesque
articles in the collection, which was
made during a three months journey
from the coast. The material is of the
highest value, and nothing like it has
been seen, except few articles in
German museum.

COUNTY OPTION
A Few Questions Asked by
William Thompson

Falls City, Neb,, Sept. 81, 1908
To the Hon. Henry Gerdes:-
Are the whiskey sellers anarchists?
Would they, with determination,
break and defy the laws Of their
country, even a law sanctioned by
the popular vote of the people?
Nay: had we not better stop and
ask, could they or any other eIe-
ment do this? If SO, is it not time
to stop and consider where we are
att II, as asserted, the farmers
are SO in favor of the saloon, they
would boycott any town which
had no saloons, why not give
the farmers a chance to vote for
the saloons? If 1.-THE whiskey seller
could and wouIdsell more whiskey
after or with the saloons closed
than with them open why is not
the whiskey seller in favor of
closing the saloons? He could
then take his license money and
but an automobile. Aud if it is a
fact that the whiskey drinker
could get his drinks Just HIS easily
and could get just as much Of it.
why Is he not for the closing OF
saloon? With no licenses to De
paid he ought to be ahIe to buy
his drinks cheaper.
Now, Mr.. Gerdes. shall the peo-
pie rule, or if elected would you
