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
killing bears, according to the Denver
Field and Farm. They took q fresh
deer liver, fastened II to q 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,
coiled up In the cooking sun. The
bucks would poke the first rattler
they found with the liver on the long
pole. A rattler, unlike common snakes,
always shows fight in preference to
escaping. The snake would thus re-
peatedly strike at the liver with its
fanss until its poison was all used up,
whereupon II would quit striking and
try slowly to move on. The bucks
would then hunt up another rattler
and repeat the performance. keeping
up the work until the liver was well
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.
The liver WAS then pounded to a flns
powder and placed in huckskin bag,
to be used AZ needed for their arrows.
This powder would stick like glue to
any moistened surface and was death

And lay flower upon her pulseless
breast.
How vain in you to lay those flowers
there
Upon the threshold of vacant house!
When she was here and through those

Upon the world, and longed for hap

Then was the time to bring your flower
and smile
When she was fighting troubles hand

SO sad and tired of life she turned
away
And then you came and laid sum-
mer flower
Upon the haunted ruins of her home
And gave her sensless hands a touch
of love.

BEATING THE LAW.
Sunday Travellers and Inns and Tav-
ems In Scotland,


There is law in Scotland generous
to travellers. That law grants them
the privilege of all taverns and inns
during prohibition hours. Thus if you
arrive in Edinburgh on Sunday, hav-
ing Travelled, say, from Glasgow, your
innkeeper is bound to serve you with
any sort of alcoholic refreshment, al
belt the native of Aud Reekie must
fret and starve his Sawbath away on
ginger ale, memories and the aurorai
promise of tomorrow. But the law is
merciful. He that hath journeyed
three miles Is a traveller within the
meaning of the act
Consequently there is vast array of
travellers leaving Edinburgh on foot,
on coaches, pony carriages, etc, for
the trains run not
They all seek to constitute them
selves as travellers. Just within the
three mile limit, as far as Edinburgh is
concerned, lies the historic village of
Corstorphine.
A traveller arrives from Edinburgh
He knocks at the door of the village
inn. He is wearied by his long walk.
He is in sore straits.
The door is opened timidly, cautious
ly, and voice is heard, "Who is it,"
"a traveller" is the weary answer
"Whaur do ye come from"

swer.
'Then We Gamma come in. It's against
the law"
The door is banged ruthlessly.
The traveller thinks awhile. Your
Scotsman thinks slowly, but very
surely.
After elaboration he knocks again.
The formula is gone through.
"Whaur do We come

quickly.

THRILLING SPORT.
Rafting Down the Canyons Of an Un-
mapped Glacial River.

With provisions for only ten days
party of explorers in Alaska found one
September that they must build RATS
and take their chances of letting the
swift river carry them to settlements
where food could be obtained; other
wise ice and snow would shut them In
from all hope of rescue. In "The
Shameless Diary of an Explorer Rob-
ert Dunn tells of the journey on the
roughly made RATS.
"At IL o'clock today began the most
thrilling sport l know, rafting down
the snaky canyons of an unmapped
glacial river.
