USED POISON OF RATTLEsNAKE.
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
MlilnS bears, according to the Denver
"leld and Farm. They took a fresh
deer liver. fastened it 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.

The Charles Alexanders and their
three aughters-Harriet, Janetta and
Mary-have quite taken society by
storm and small affairs or all sorts
have taken place this week in their
honor. Tie Alexander girls spend
much of their time with Miss Jennie
Crocker at Uplands, coming into town
every day or two for stay at the
Fairmont, where their parents have
headquarters, for little theater, lit

guests of the A1exanders at very
smart little dinner at the Fairmont ho-

to Del Monte when the Alexanders did
for little preliminary visit this week.
The social set generally and the navy
set in particular were interested to
learn last week of the engagement of
Henry Ware Lyon Jr and Miss Hazel

nounced In the brides home in San

people come of prominent society FAM
lies, for Miss Schulembergs late faith

Mayo Newhall and her daughters last
week when they came down from Tahoe

The friendship existing between Miss
Mary Keeney and Miss Florence Hop
kins seems to grow ever deeper and
more ardent as time goes on, and when
Miss Hopkins joins her friend on the
really grown up" social stage next
winter it is safe to predict that they
will divide every one of their good
times. Before Miss Hopkins went east
last fall for her last year of schooling
Miss Keeney was her guest for two
months at Menlo Park. and all through
this summer they have been constantly
together. That there are other mem
ber of the Hopkins family who find the
beautiful Miss Mary very charming is an
open secret in the younger set, but the
possessor of the Irresistible Irish eyes
and the winning Irish smile seems to
feel that she is too young and life as a
debutante is too pleasant to have any
serious thoughts of the future spoil her
fun.
The Douglas Watsons are still in the
south and they and their two delightful

Vallejo street about a month ago. That
part of Vallejo street however, is
rather like the country itself and the
homes that are scattered about there

way of wide porches and rose gardens

them. They have had several dances
and house parties, and any number of
small informal affairs Miss Helen

occasions that are enjoyed from the
first instant to the last dance. and is
a delightful memory for the 40 or
more young people who attended it.
The Bakers big country home is de-

It was at this little dance that the
news of very interesting engage

though neither of the principals was
present, the event was the topic Of
the evening. and was discussed and
exclaimed over between all the dances,
and during some Of them. That Rich
