of green eyes!
He tried to keep his mind on the
event, but it was useless. All at once,
the thing settled back and seemed to
be playing with it's coils. He had seen
dark sea water play that way in little
dissolving waves. Water? How much
was it raining now? He wished that
he could look up at the heavens, but
that was impossible, and, anyway,
something seemed to be the matter
with his eyes. He could not see any
thing but the RATHER with the thong
bout its neck; most Of all, he could
see the thong. Then, amid a great coll
ing sea Of dark waves something arose
before his face and peered into it ex-
u.tantIy. something that had for eyes
pair of red-and- green cigar-store
lamps that he had once seen, and for
head what looked ..Ae black flint

gIared down upon him. strangely, he
felt himself arising up off of the sands,
out of his bonds; felt himself, like
great, heavy ship let loose from it's
noorings. floating straight towards
those Turing coils. A quarter of an inch
left!
His face now clenched itself into deep
leonine scars: the background Of his
skin was a dirty purplish white. All
his vitality rushed to await the snakes
next, and final, attack. His nerves
were at a racking tension, his heart
stood still. awaiting the fatal stab in
his cheek, his vitals became sick and
expectant before the catastrophe.
Yet, in the last moment, his brain
seemed preternaturally clear, free of all
physical sensation, a rapid, independ-
ent, impartial thinking machine work.

snake slowly uncoil its anterior part,

The leash began to sag; he sees it,
it starts to become pliable, to loop
back upon itself before his very eyes.
A deep crease came between his
brows; he clenched his teeth and de-
termined to keep his gaze upon the
rawhide thong. He no longer looked
at the snake, because he could tell in
tuitively when it sprang. Almost at
once he saw drop of water fall upon
the leash again; another, a dozen, a
hundred. 1t came GOWN everywhere
about him; he saw it and saw its effect
upon the rawhide, but was so hot and
tortured himself that he could not feel
its GOODNESS. His head really seems to
be on fire. See it rise, grandly, luxuri-
ously, delicately from its wet coil! See
the little jaws themselves, smiling ma
lignantly! See the slight settling back
before the spring!
The snake fell short, as usual, but
he realized that this time it fell short
only three-quarters of an inch. The
rain came down more steadily, but his
head continued to burn excrueiatingly

numb. His eyes. however, fixed upon

will seat 5000 people and IT is probable
that over 10000 will crowd into the big
auditorium when Taft speaks. The addi-
tional attraction of the fireworks on the
same evening bids fair to make Thursday
nearly as popular a day at the fair as is
the day OF the electrical parades.
Bankers VIII He Ready.
After the rest of Saturday and Sunday
the barkers and animals and the freaks
will be ready for the rush Of the coming
week. Show life is a strenuous one at
best, especially so when the show is placed
on the lot of a big carnival like the Ak
Sar-Ben fall festivities. When the crowds
begin to come 1t is one continuous grind
from morning till midnight with but a
moment to grab a sandwich for lunch.
Even the big elephant tires of going
through his stunt a dozen times a day. The

untary feature of the Kansas proposal that
makes the radical difference between II and
mat OF the democratic platform. 1t is en-
tirely conceivable that banks in the same
neighborhood and within the observation
of each other may profitably and safely
accept and guaranty the security Of all
for the benefit of each, especially when
they can select their partners.
"One OF the great merits claimed for the
enforced guaranty Of deposits is that 1t
Will prevent panlcs. 1t is sufficient to say
that the plan proposed cannot prevent
panics. A panic is not stayed by the
promise that money will ultimately be
forthcoming. 1t can only be stayed by the
production of the money itself. When a
financial stringency is on, it is the cash
the man needs, and to say that he will get
II next week certainly does not assist him.
No one who has heard that his bank is
going to fail will delay in Immediately APP
plying for his money because he is assured
that at some time in the future he will
get it. Therefore the system could not
stay the panics unless the fund were large
enough to enable the banks to pay ali
their depositors at the time of the run.

ecllpsed, the only difference being that
there viii be no spectacular effects, all
the money having been spent in powder.
Skilled workmen have been working for
some weeks on giant set pieces, which will
astound the natives. The Board of Gov
ernors were impressed by the splendid fire
works display given at the state fair at
Lincoln, when thousands OF people went
to the grounds nightly to see the rockets
mount skywards and to hear the bombs ex-
plode, throwing their varied colors against
the dark background of night. Taft and
Bryan will both be shown in fire and other
set pieces will be shown of the new and
novel sort.
Taft comes to Omaha at an opportune
time for the city will be filled with peo-
pie from all parts Of the surrounding
country when he speaks in Omaha and
South Omaha Thursday night. The audi
forum has been engaged for the Omaha

! capacity will be taxed as 1t has never been
before. Reports from citizens dwelling in
the state indicate that thousands will come
to Omaha to hear w. H.. Taft when he
speaks at the Auditorium. That structure

Visitors in Omaha during the last week
OF the Ak-sar-Ben festivities need have no
fear that they will be compelled to walk
the streets at night for the want of a place
to sleep, or that they will be in danger OF
dying of starvation. Foreseeing that the

pie of Omaha will open their homes to the
strangers within her gates and private ac-
commodations will be accorded every

Omaha after the big electrical parade OF
"Wednesday night. Indications are that
many who come to the electrical parade
will remain over until the next day to hear
Taft and to see the fireworks. The Union
Pacific. because of IT'S exceptionally low
rates. is expecting an enormous crowd and
Is assembling all possible equipment TO care
fer that crowd. The Northwestern has
10 extra coaches on hand for the heavy
movement to the Tripp county opening, and
will use these extra cars in handling the
Ben crowds. Reports received from
agents along the various lines of the state
indicate that more people than ever will
come to Omaha this fall. The crops are
splendid and all feel they can afford the
time and money It will take to see the
great electrical parade and to see Omaha
In its holiday attire.
Some Splendid Fireworks.
The people OF Omaha have been treated
70 some splendid fireworks displays in their
time. The Board Of Governors realize this,
and has left nothing to hinder one OF the
Rrandest fireworks displays ever given In
the west. Pain in all his glory will be
