Here it is: Two Germans stepped in
to an auction house where a sale OF
watches was going on. They occupi-
ed front seats and soon attracted the
attention of the auctioneer. As he
dwelt upon the merits of a watch, he
was offering for sale TO the highest
bidder, the auctioneer turned to the
Germans from time to time as the
price mOunted-siX dollars, six fifty,
seven, seven fifty. AS the auctioneer
nodded at one of the Germans there
came an answering nod which he took
to be bid.
That Teller knows me-" said one
German to the Other.
Yes, sure said the other.
The nc ding kept on. Finally the
auctioneer extended the watch to the
nodders. It's yours" he said, ten
dollars. You're the buyer"

MINER ASKS $4,000
FROM DEN-AR|zOhA
Rex McEWan Brings Suit AS
Result of Alleged Injuries
Last February.
Especial to Review

TOMBSTONE. Jan. 20.-Alleging
that he has been crippled for life by
injuries received from an accident
while working for the Denn-Arizona
Mining Company, Rex NJ. MacEwan
has fled an action in the district
court for damages in the sum of s15.-
600 and costs Of suit
The complaint states that on the
eth OF February the plaintiff was in the
employ of the mining company as n
miner, and a member of what was call
ed the shaft crew" That on the
above date he with four other miners
got on the cage at the 1000 foot level,
and were to be lowered to the HOO
foot station. That after they had en-
tered on the cage, and without warn
ing, the cage dropped onto the
chairs" at the 100 station with great
velocity, and that as a result of said
fall plaintiff was greatly iniureds that
his knee cap was fractured and broken,
and the muscles and ligaments sur
rounding the same torn. That his oc-
cupation is that of a miner, and that
such injuries have incapicated him
from doing such work or any work
where free knee action is required.
He alleges that the defendant COM
pany was aware that the engine and
cage that were used were out of repair,
and that four or five weeks previous
to the accident number of the en-
ployes refused to ride upon the cage
until it was fixed or repaired. That the
accident was not the result of his
carelessness, but solely the fault of
the company. He therefore asks the
court to award him damages in the
sum of $4,000 and costs of his suit.
Edward J. Flanagan is entered as at
torney in the case for the plaintiff.

THE RATTLESNAkE.
Renewing Its Poison Fanss Does Not
Render L. Harmless.

A common misconception which is
apt to head to serious accidents is the
belief that a RATHER is rendered per-
fectly harmless. so that it can be han
died with impunity, by the removal of
its poison fangs. These faDgs. two in
number. are situated on the upper Jaw
and lie fat except when the serpent
strikes, when they become erect and
the closing Of the jaws congresses the
poison glands and injects the venom
through minute openings in them. In
striking its prey (for whatever charm
the serpent may employ to get-its vic
tim within easy reach it relies upon
the venom to give the coup de gracel
these fangs may often be broken. and
nature has provided full supply of re.
serve weapons which lie dormant in
the gums and which within two weeks
will develop and replace the injured
fang.
An acquaintance who returned from
hunting trip with twenty-five full
grown rattlers in box kept them in
his Office for two months confined be-
hind a coarse meshed wire screen.
He handled them most carelessiy. as
he had extracted the poison fangs. but
when shown that each of them had de
veloped perfect pair OF new ones
there was sudden rise in the local
snake mortality. One was preserved
and sent to rhe Bronx zoo, where it
a short time afterward produced a
large litter of young ones, which could
have easily crawled through the screen
behind which the mother had been
kept AS each Of them possessed the
poison apparatus in full commission
and was without the power to rattle,
they would have been even more dan
gerous than adult snakes.
Professional snake handlers are Of
ten ignorant of this power to quickly
replace fangs possessed by rattlers,
and this ignorance led to a serious ac-
cident to one of them. He was badly
bitten and narrowly escaped death, his
recovery being attributed to the gener-
Gus amount of whisky which was i'm
mediately administered to him, which
illustrates another mistaken idea. 1t is
pity to shatter a pleasant illusion.
but alcohol, except in very small doses,
is harmful rather than beneficial as an
antidote to snake bite poison.
As a matter of fact. although tie
symptoms of rattlesnake poisoning are
most painful and alarming, an adult
rarely dies from the bite of the variety
common in the north. The diamond
backs Of the south attain much lar
ger size and consequently inject more
venom. and their bite is proportiouate-
ly more dangerous.-Francis Metcalfe
In Outing Magazine.
