From the Tionesta NindicatOr.
George Burhen. who is building a new
house for himself on part of his father S
farm on German hill. went to refill a wa
ter jug the other day that had been left
in the shade when he luckily espied a
huge RATHER forty-two inches long and
carrying thirteen rattles coiled. ready for
fight. about the jug. George lost no time
in killing the reptile and has preserved the
skin and rattles to verify his statement.
Two young sons of George Copeland
went snake hunting at "a den near their
fathers home on Little Hickory creek one
day last week and killed an even dozen of
rattlers before they gave up the battle.
Henry Amburger of Hunters station has
been missing eggs from the nest in his
chicken coop. even china egg disappear
ing. He suspected rats or other sma II
animals but the other day when he found
a dead black snake eight feet long near
by with a china egg lodged in its stom-
ach the great mystery was solved.

USE OF LANGUAGES
Foreign Tongues as Aids to Women
an Business.

II is rather surprising how few nguists there are
among American women and girls in business
With the vast and constantly increasing trade in
spanish America, with the annual batch of well
nigh million immigrants to this country, there
is steady call for senographers and correspondents
who can take dctation in foreign languages as we'll
as for translators who can render foreign tongues
into English and vice versa. But after a somewhat
extensive investigation only one American woman
was found whose knowledge of languages helps her
to fill responsible and well paid post in a business
house. No doubt there are numerous others, but
the only one The Tribune representative found was
Miss Ora Lee Fox, employed by a marine insur-
ance adjusting firm that has branches In various
parts OF the world Her story is attractive one,
because it shows how girl of grit and aspiration
ngot what she wants.
Miss Fox is a Virginian. from Leesburg. She had
a knowledge of schoolgirl French when she began
her career a teacher. But teaching did not pay.
Besides, she did not like It. She said:
I'm going to learn stenography''
She entered a commercial school in Baltimore
Just before she had completed the course one of
the teachers left the school Ora Lee Fox unlike
many stenographers understood grammar, punct-
uation and spelling. She asked to take the
teachers vacant place. She accepted the offer with
thanks and was instructor in the school two
years and half. Then opportunity to go
to New York a stenographer.
AS a child Miss Fox had longed to go to Europe.
She always looked ahead to It She did not know
how or when she going: she Just knew she
was going that was all. Her first thought when
the place in New York opened TO her
This is a step toward my trip to Europe"
Well she has been to Europe-earned and saved
the money herself TO take her there, and enjoyed
the tour all the because at home she had
studied French and Italian and could make her
way among the natives. When she first went to
