No More Snakes.

The warm lava beds along the
Snake used to harbor rattlesnakes
in considerable numbers But the
ophidians do not stand blasting.
With the first activities OF the pow
der gangs on the Mil0er dam, most
OF the snakes left, where to no one
knows, and almost none have been
seen since. Mr.. Faris, the con
tractor for the dam, the first year
he was ther found a lava crack in
the canyon where there were doz-
ems if not hundreds Of the snakes
Tying several willows together into
one long pole, he poked "a stick Of
dynamite with a lighted fuse at
tached into the hole and then re-
tired to a safe distance to await re-
suits. When the explosion came,
the air was full of fragments of
snakes and of snaky odor. But
no other ratllesnake has ever been
seen around thkre since, so far as
recorded Like the buffalo. the
cagebrush and the cowboy, they do
not stand civilization.

The compliments petition was filed

in the case, which is voluminous, was

In brief, and in effect, the COM

Of the bureau. said the other day that
there is undoubtedly certain amount

"But the use Of the Technology Of
animal life in reference to the sensi-

considerable confusion" said Mr.
Woods. s'It is a well known fact that
the cells of certain plants are sensi-

fact, than the protoplasms Of animals
are. But it is quite improbable that

MUSBY WAS THERE.
a Cavalry Regiment Found Him, but.
Didn't Make Capture.

General John S. Mosby, the Confed-
crate cavalryman, used to tell of a
comic incident which happened in the
Shenandoah valley in 1864. Near Mill
wood regiment of cavalry halted one
night and went into camp. One of the
men, who was hungry. slipped away
and went off in the neighborhood to
get something to eat. He rode up to a
cabin on a farm in the dark and called
for the person inside to come out.
A negro woman. known at that time
as an intelligent contraband, opened
the door and asked him what he want
ed. The soldier wished to be assured
of his safety before dismounting and
while eating his supper, so he inquired
of the woman if any one but herself
was there.
She replied, Yes; Mosby is here"
"Whatr' said he in a whisper. els
Mosby here?"
Eyes" she said; ''he is in the house. :
The soldier put spurs to his horse
and dashed off to his company to carry
the news. When he got there he in
formed the colonel that Mosby was in
house not far away. The regiment
was soon mounted and went at a fast
trot. thinking they had Mosby in a
trap.
When they arrived at the negro wo-
mans house the colonel ordered his
men to surround it to prevent Mosby' S
escape, while he went in with few to
take him dead or alive.
The woman again came to the door
of the cabin. The colonel inquired, SIS
Mosby here?"
She innocently replied. YES" SO he
walked in
After the colonel got inside he looked
round. But the woman seemed to be
all alone and utterly unconscious of
having so important a person for a
guest
In a loud voice the colonel demand
ed, Where is Mosby?"
ERE he,' answered the terrified ne
gress. at the same time pointing to a
cradle on the floor.
The colonel looked into the cradle
and saw a little African pickaninny
sucking it's paw.-Youth's Companion.
