A fight to the death took place in
the yard Of George Beahm between
black snake and copper head Mr..
Beahm lives near Luray. The black
snake won the game. He caught
the copper head by the neck and had
about choked the life out Of him, when
the children of w. y. Jenkins, who
were playing In the yard. came near
stepping OH them, as they were coiled
in bunch about the size of gallon
measure. They were left alone un til
the black snake had killed his enemy
and then his snakeship was disposed
OF. The black snake measured Az
inches in length and the copper head
20 inches.

A sample of the Standard oil Com
pany's new '.petrol butter" rests up
on the oesk of State diary and Food
Commissioner Foust Ia Harrisburg
and is receiving due attention. 1t
looks about as much like butter as
common vaseline; what is true OF the
looks is true of the taste.
The sample came from New Eng
sold widely as substitute for lard.
1t consists, says Foust, eighty per cent.
vaseline, two per cent. salt and ten per
cent. corn starch.
Under the Gerberich lard law passed
last winter the petrol butter can he
sold in Pennsylvania under the plain
label of Limitation Lard or lizard
substitute" provided that it contain
nothing deieterieus TO health. Foust
is also OF the opinion that perhaps il
can be handled by dealers licensed
under the oleo law, if handled as an
colored oleo is handled. should it
be proved to contain anything dele
FERROUS TO health t'oGst will come
swooping down with the Murphy food
bill and tell 'em few things.
One point raised about the near
butter is that it passes through the
human system completely, without
any OF its constituent parts being as
simulated and without, on the other
hand, doing any harm. Foust says
that If this be true, the case will prob
ably have TO be- taken i3to court for
Judicial decision as to whether the pre-
duet can be hanled under the laws Of
the state.

Every housewife knows that In the
last few years there has been rapid
increase in the cost Of living. 1t has
been the cause OF general complaint.
lie the families of men of small merns,
day laberers, mechanics, clerks and
empleyes, in limited salaries, high
prices have made the daily problems
of existence more and more difficult
Few women, however. even the most
careful housekeepers, have kept ac-
count Of the rate of increase In prices
beyond nothing steady advance in
domestic expenses. They kept no fig
ures for proofs. But Bradtreest'. fig
ures, which no sensible person will de-
ny, furnish the proofs. What they
insistent demand from all over the
country that in revising the tariff Con-
gress shall see the consumer gets prop
er relief
According to Bradstreet' betwee n
July /, 1896, AID July /, 1909, bread
stufis aud live stock have more than
double In price, provisions, fruits, hides
and leather have increased over SO per
ccnt. and textiles go per cent. Taxing
separate items that figure in the cost
of the average poor mans table, on
July l., 1909, -four cost 100 per cent.
more than on July |, 1896, oeef over
SO per cent, pork about $50 per cent,
muttor l25 per cent, hams 30 l-3 per
cent, bacon over ITO per cent, lard
over $50 per cent, butter 20 per cent.
and potatoes over 1870 per cent.
Even within the last year the In
crease in prices has gone On almost
without interruption. Fieur mas risen
nearly ~ per cent, pork over 20 per
cent, mutton nearly the same, hams
almost 10 per cent, butter IS per cent,
and coffee over % per cent. Beef Is
one of the few articles which mot ma
terially increase III price.
These are hard facts which there is
no getting around. Retail prices may
vary more or less from north TO month
according to locality and the character
OF dealers establishments, but Brad
streets figure are based on market re-
port which are beyond controversy.
They may not appeal to siand-pat pro-
tectionists like Senator AldricA aud
Senator Lodge, who occupied wit b
serving powerful interests, contem ptu-
ousIy remark that there exists no such
person as the consumer, but they ju.ti-
fy the popular cutlery against excessive
prices. which can be only partially
met by an honest downward revisio n
of the tariff designed TO reduce the cos
OF living to those whose earnings bare
ly suffice for their families support.

You are not forgotten Rubie dear,
Or will you ever be,
For as long as life and memory lasts,
We will remember thee.
How we miss you Rubie dear,
No one on this earth knows,
But God in Heaven above us,
Can heal our deepest woes.
A precious one from us has gene,
A voice we loved is stilIed.
A place is vacant in her home,
Which never can be filled.

end, the limit set by law having ex-
pred, twenty-five days. There have

have been principally on orchard
