something in ones interest or be-
half.

Uncle Jake and Uncle Tim had
both served in the war with Spain
and one dark night were swapping
yarns. eyes, sir" said Uucle Jake,
SIT is par excellent fact. AS you
were in the Philip pines you may
remember the Wha- cher-c all-it
River. Well, one afternoon our
regiment, the Goth, Was encamped
on the banks of this river and ,
several of us decided to do some
fishing. | was the first to land a
fish and it weighed 225 pounds.
It was an excellent specimen of
the catfish variety. But the mar
velous point was-when we cut
the fish open we found a small
frog that I had used when fishing
in the Mississippi River two years
before"
"a trifiing incident" remarked
Uncle Tim, as he adjusted a fresh
chew preparatory to delivering a
quietus-yarn, then continues:
"When our regiment-the 128th
were at Mind-da-no we we're
startled one evening to see huge
rattlesnake approaching our camp.
Our commander at camp was an
educated war veteran and imme-
diately remembered the story of
how a wooden horse had been
sent into Troy, in which soldiers
were hidden and resulted in the
fall of Troy. Therefore, he quick
!, ly had us all prepared to prevent
any sort of historical repetition.
The regiment remained ready for
action until the RATHER came with
in the camp lines. Being a
new hand at soldering, but withal
a crack shot I couldn't endure the
suspense. Bang! Zip! Swish!'
and the bullet entered the rattler's
eye. The snake arose some sixty
feet in the air, came down with
heavy thud and for several minutes
:, slashed the ground with it's tail
causing the earth to tremble so
4 much that the steel bands around
the regimental powder kegs, four
hundred yards away, snapped
loose. Well, we measured the
a snake; it was sixty feet long from
: the tip of the tail to the tip of the
: horn in the center of the head
. which | have neglected to mem
ton. The following day we skin
T. ned the snake and sent the skin to
l. the st. Louis Exposition where it
. became one of the chief attrac-
tions.'
. what become of that snake
' skinT inquired Jake. Tim re-
: piled: "Well, the last heard Of it
!" was that the boys at Fort Still had
secured it and since the abolish
% ment of the canteen they use it to
. exhibit to Government inspectors,
. members of the Anti Canteen So
L cities and incidentally to conceal
the best proclaimed remedy for
q rattlesnake bites"
! Uncle Jake smiled incredulously
as he asked: Anything else you
remember about that snake?'

ed Tim, as he delved into his coat
pocket and drew forth photo

LETTERS FROM READERS.

To the Editor:
To succeed in life one must
worry hard and worry all the time.
Anglicus is responsible for this
statement in recent issue of The
Mirror. The man who worries all
the time is doomed to failure. Ex-
cessive worry or indifference are
characteristic traitsef intellects too
week to grapple with the problems
of life. Between care and worry
the difference is great. The one
means solitude, thought and care
full balancing of the pros and cons,
the other enervating excitability
of an organism diseased. The
secret Of success. is possession of
abilities peculiarly adapted to the
profession, trade or calling you
adopt. Such men as Rockefeller,
Pierpont Morgan and Sir Thomas
Upton are, if l may use the term,
men of financial genius, who in
the presence of obstacles that
would prove insurmountable to
mediocrity, experience the exulta
ton that the gladiator feels in the
presence of an opponent he discov-
ed to be weaker. Their success is
due not to worry but superior
merit and I would bet a nickel if
had one, that none of these have
known the same amount of worry
that has harassed the souls OF
others of equal age whose existence
has been at the mercy of an EN-.
ployer.
