INsuRREcTIoNIsTs FOLLOW
UP THEIR RECENT VICTORY

PORT AU PRINCE, Nov. 29.-The
revolutionists, under command of Gen.
Antoine Simon, the former commander
of the department of the south, follow
ing up their victory over the govern
ment forces at Anseavean, are pushing
up to Port Au Prince. They have
driven back the government troops
many miles and have seized the towns
of Miragoane and Petit Goaste. 1t is
believed that Gen. Celestin Cyriaque,
minister of war, who took refuge in the
German consulate of the former town,
is still there, but 1t is feared that there
will be many assertions to the reVolu-
tionary army.
President Nord Alexis has energeti-
cally rejected the suggestion that he
gave up the struggle, and the govern
ment is engaged actively in organizing
its forces for a strong rescue. Three
divisions of well disciplined troops
under command of Gen. Andre, minis
ter of the interior and police, occupy a
position about six miles outside OF the
city. These troops are entrenched at
the conveyance of three roads and hold
commanding position.
Guarding City
The south approach to the city is
being fortified, and Forts Bisoton and
Mercredi, mounting modern artillery,
will take the revolutionists to come
from Miragone, which is about fifty
miles from Port Au Prince, is matter
of doubt, but as there are no govern
ment forces to check them they are
likely to reach this city within forty
eight hours. The engagement will be
serious, and it is thought that forces
may be landed from the warships now
in the harbor for the purpose of pre-
venting pillage and injury to the for
eign residents.
At present there is much excitement
in this city, for while there have been
revolutions in Hayti none have been
so successful at the outset as the
| present.
Gen. Simon, who was commander OF
the department of the south for twenty
years, is recognized as a strong man
and exceedingly popular. He was or
dered a month ago by President Nord
Alexis to come to this city to confer
with the president on political mat
tiers, but fearing that If he did so his
life would be in danger, Gen. Simon de-
clined to obey and made ready to repel
any attack of the government.

The AMERICAN FARMER
He Must Have Help, or Hard
Times Will Follow.
TABOR is SCARCE AND HIGH

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Says
the Real Reason for Hard Times
and High Prices Is Scarcity of
Farm Hands. What the Farmer
Giant Is Doing.
It has remained for Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson to solve
rhp true reason for high prices and
the high cost of living which has been
bothering the housewife and the
mechanic for several years past. He
saws the people, the laboring people,
are themselves to blame. They fail
10 provide the necessary help to the
American farmer. In years gone by
the farmer had his allies-other men
who came to his aid, heartily support
tng him when the burden grew too
vast But now yerywhere-in mine
and railroad, in factory and forest
the teeming millions of his neighbors
have robbed him of them. Today
he stands alone, striving with titanic
courage to endure the strain; yet
seemingly doomed, in spite of his
vast numbers, to sink under his toll,
unless the help he needs be given.
If he yields, if his enormous strength
gives way at last under his still more
enormous toll, no section of the
mighty society borne up by his sin
Gle strength can escape the universal

SNAKES KILL THOUSANDS
twenty-five Thousand Persons
Victims of Them Every Year.
midas ANNUAL DEATH ROLL

From Riot OF Reptiles Has Reached
Stupendous Figures. The Cobra
and the Hamadryad the Most
Deadly. The Latter Will Attack
Man on Sight.
Contrary to the general belief. the
python or boa constructor rarely at
lacks people, and is looked upon
very differently by the people than
are the hamadryad and cobra. The
python will take up his abode in
neighborhood and Will not disturb
anything except the hen roosts:
these he disturbs very much. as he
has great fondness for chickens,
also for a stray dog or small goat.
l know of one case, however, in
floating house where a python at
tackled d woman, and contrary to the
preocnceiVed idea did not crush her
IN It's folds, but attempted to swal-
low her, commencing with one of her
feet When she was rescued her foot
and ankle were badly lacerated by
the snakes teeth. The Chinese kill
the python to make medicine from
the liver, which has a high repute
among them. They also use the
dried skin for medicine. Any Chi
nese drug store in Siam has num-
Der of python skins for sale.
One OF the most important things
TO know about snake bites is that
the poisonous snakes, such as the
hamadryad, cobra, etc, leave on the
individual only the two punctures of
the poison fangs, while the less
poisonous and harmless snakes leave,
beside the two punctures, the marks
OF adventitiOus teeth. This is most
important is prOgnOsis, as being
called to see persons bitten who were
showing great shock it helps phTsi-
clans and patient materially to as
sure the patient that while ne may
be very i'll he will not die.
There is only one snake in the
Far East-that is. in India, Burma.
Siam and the Malay Peninsula
that will always and at all times
attack man on sight. That is the
hamadryad, justly more feared than
any other animal that crawls. For
tunately for mankind they are not
common, except in limited districts
They are so feared by all that the
native shikarris or hunters will go
miles out of their way to avoid the
locality in which they are known to
exist. The hamadryad will stalk a
man as a tiger stalks his prey. Mr.
LeOnOWenS, who as a bow was edu-
Gated with the present king of Siam,
and who is interested in teak for
ests, told me he had seen elephants
die in half an hour after being bit
ten, and that he always carried a
shotgun loaded with buckshot when
in the jungle infested by snakes. He
said that one of his men, a Burmese,
was chased by one and escaped by
thorwing away his clothing piece by
piece, the snake stopping each time
to bite the clothing. He had shot
the snake himself just as the man
fell exhausted near him.
These two snakes, the hamadryad
and cobra, cause the great annual
death roll of India from snake bite,
about $4,000 people last year. One
reason for this great death roll is
that Hindus and Buddhists will not
kill the snakes, as it is against their
religion to take life. The cobra will
go away from you usually, except in
the nesting season, and then he will
attack you on sight if you disturb
New York Sun.

Why Prices Are High.

In his statement Secretary Wilson
declares;
The productiyeness of the United
States along agricultural lines is not
keeping pace with the growth of our
population. Meats are dear because
meat-bearing animals are falling be-
mind the population in relative num-
bers. Labor is scarce on the farm,
and labor is dear on the farm, be-
cause the factory, the forest, the
mine and the railroad are taking
away the farmers workers through
wages fixed at rates the farmer can
not afford to pay. The population
OF the United States is growing both
by reason of the natural increase of
the families domiciled in America
and by accretiOns through immigra-
ton from abroad. But the immi-
grants do not reach to the farm.
The farmers who do come to us from
foreign countries do not find their
way to the farms of this country;
ana the immigration laws prevent
American farmers from going to
-orelgn countries and selecting
mere the prospective immigrants
whose services could aid them.

now with the farmers in great
many states of the union. The
united States has made remarkable
growth as a manufacturing nation
because material is cheaper and bet
ter here than in any other country
OF the world. Our farmers are MAX
ing the most energetic efforts to pro-
duce. They have the best machin-
cry the world of agriculture knows.
They themselves work and their fam
lilies work. But the demand is great
er than they can supply"
The Balance of Trade.
The world has its ''granaries" and
It's cattle plains; but the United
States is not a part of that world.
Its granaries and its plains are its
own; when they fail there are no
others to which to turn. This farm
er giant last year was worth to the
nation $50,000,000 during every dav
OF the crop growing season. In the
single year he produced material
amounting in value to $7,412,O0O.OOO.
1t meant that he had saved the conn
try from a disaster far more grave
than the embarrassment of the fall
ana winter managed to produce.
The balance of trade in farm prod
ucts for last year was $444,OOO,OOO
IN favor of this country-which
meant that nearly half a billion dol
lars in cash was added to the riches
OF the nation. IN all other products
the trade of 1907 produced a bal
ance in our favor of only $2,50O,OOO.
Practically unaided last year the
farmer giant fed the United States
and sent abroad products that
brought home S1,655, 100000. And
that money was nearly all spent at
home, for the farmer sells abroad.
but rarely buys there Today the
country is praying for a good farm
er's year!' The very hub of the re
neWed prosperity turns upon the out
stretched arm of that plodding giant.
And today, with all his allies gone.
he is resolutely heaving at his titanic
task, bent on raising at least as
much as last year, with it's $780,
100000 of corn; its $65O,O00,0G0 of
cotton; it's S500,UO0,OO0 of wheat;
its 100000, 900 of oats and all the
other millions of the nations crops.
Unaided, And, if he fall, who
suffers?
