Mr.. Hearst continues:
"You~imply that | am not Demo-

not, according to Democratic standard
OF to-day. You imply further that you
are Democrats, and cannot help won

Samuel H. Bell, Readn druggist,
is a lover of horseflesh and one OF
his Hpudest possessions is a pony
probably second to none in the country
The things Gypsy Queen can do are al
most astounding She is young in years
having been born in oklahoma, AT
Talequah, on the Comanche reservatio
in 1906. She weighs 600 pounds and is
80 inches tall. She halls from strain
of horse held sacred by certain tribe
of Indians, having very peculiar mark
ings. She is a pure-blood Arabian
being beautiful snow white, with a
few fawn spots each of which has a
margin of blue. She has blue eyes,
showing decided gentleness.
Gypsy Queen was originally owned
by Pawnee Indian chief who present
ed her to Norman j. Bentley for a
great act of kindness and finally came
into the hands of Druggist Bell after
receiving an eight months education
at the hands of A. j. Wilson. Here
are some of her tricks

holds the record for pony clearing solid
hurdel 4 feet 8 inches and makes a
clearing from IS to % feet on ground
walks erect on hind feet, jumps five
foot fence drops as though dead, walk
up and down steps and walks ladder
That Gypsy possesses "a bright mind
is shown by the facts that she is able
to add, subtract. multiply and divide,
spell any single-syllable word. tell
colors, select flags of the different ma
tons and select the portraits of our
Presidents for Washington to Roose-
welt She goes to cash register and
gets correct change, takes dollar out

airy poses, goes to the towel rack, wipes
her face and replaces the towel a I'd
answers "Yes" and NO"
She has also been tuaght to play
chimes and knows such familiar tunes
as MY Old Kentucky Home" Home
Sweet Hoome" and way Down Up
on the Swanee River"
She is able to take a bottle and
drink from it and when she sees a pis-
toll she slways eyinces desire to grab
it and fires it off, taking care to point
the pistol always skyward.

The CHAMPION
SNAKE killer.
Woman Catches Them With Her
Bare Hands and Breaks
Their Backs.

Mrs. Emma Frye, of Nashua, has
gained a reputation as a snake killer
She killed as many as 10 large black
snakes last week near her home on the
Dunstable road
She says she hates the reptile and
delights in taking their lives. She
catches them by the neck and breaks
their neck bone with one twist OF her
hands.
There is a spot on the land adjoin-
ing Mrs. Frey's home which she calls
her SNAKE cemetery" where hun
dreds of snakes are burid.
"a THE largest snake | killed this
year" said Mrs. Frye, was a little
more than eight feet long; many OF
them were four and five feet long. In
deed the snakes in this locality seem
to grow very large and there are a
great many OF them here about"
So successful is Mrs. Frye in dis
posing OF serpents that whenever any
of the neighbors sight nest of snakes
they call upon her to tacle them, and
she is known as the snake killer of
Nashua"
Mrs. Frye is little wamon and her
appearance does not give one an I'M
preston of being killer of snakes.
She WAS left a widow with several
small children and by hard work and
much courage maintained them and
educated them to fill good positions in
life. She is one of the few women in
England who declare they are not
afraid of anything. Nashua y. H.

THREATENING LETTER
Received BY Prof. Knight for His Part
In Cooper Trial.

Bangor Me, March 1.-THE fact that
two years ago the present time the ia
NOUS Cooper murder trial was in progress
in Augusta was brought to the attention
Of Prof Ora ". Knight OF Bangor in a
disagreeable manner one morning last
week when he received a letter threat
ening his life for the part which he play
ed in the case of the defence Of Mrs.
Cooper.
However. this is not the first such let
ter Prof. Knight has received since the
jury returned a verdict of not guilty in
the case of Mrs. Alice +. Cooper.
At irregular intervals during the past
two years Prof. Knight has received let
tiers. all anonymous. which nave contained
insulting messages, as well as threats
upon his we'll being. He has discarded
them with as little thought as one would
throw away a piece Of waste paper. So
far as the threats are concerned they can
harm no one So long as the writer of
the letters confines himself OF herself to
that form of attack Prof. Knight has
nothing to fear. When a different form
is used he no doubt will be able to pro
tect himself.
Prof Knight who is one Of the best
known chemists in Maine, was called INTO
the Cooper case by Hon. II. NJ. Heath OF
Augusta. who defended the woman. to
make certain experiments with relation
to pistol bullets. pistol wounds. powder
marks and a number of other things Of
vital importance in the case. He did his
work faithfully and. as those who at
tended the trial know. the results of his
scientific researches in the case had
great deal to do with convincing the Jury
that Mrs. Cooper did not shoot Charles,
Northv, Jr.
The letters which he has been receiving
since the close of the case come, il is be-
lieved. from some person who is of weak
mentality and who, becoming overeNor-
ciSed about this famous murder case,
tries to Brighten the man of science who
did his duty.
