Where Snakes Abound.

A special agent Of the Department
of Commerce and Labor is authority
for the statement that Oregon is a
favorite resort for snakes. 81 never
saw so many snakes in my life as at
a point near Klamath Falls last year"
he said. ST could stand in one place
and count twenty in plain sight: I
killed 60 within a radius of 800 feet.
They are a non venomous variety, and
the people do not seem to care any
thing about them. But to tenderfoot
the first view of SO many reptiles is
anything but reassuring- None of the
natives or seasoned settlers kill these
snakes, as rule. Most of them carry
canes or sticks, but the custom is to
merely push the snakes aside to avoid
stepping upon them, which is anything
but please Mt - Washington CORES

FEDERAL AUTO LAW.
Is Recommended by Former President
of American Club.

New York, Dec 15-The regulation of
automobiles by means of federal law
Is urged by colgate Hoyt, former presi-
lea. In a statement to that organiza-
ton he says:
st believe a federal automobile law is
possible and practicable under the in
terstate commerce law. 1t would be as
great a protection to the community at
large as to the owners and drivers of
motor vehicles. The government should
require a rigid examination before
licensing a chauffeur and every chauf-
feur should be required to carry a
license card bearing his photograph
and signature"

How It Started.

:. Now. when Jacob had given the
'savory kid SOUP to Isaac, and the
latter, pleased with the gift, had given
to his son the much-sought-after pa
ternal blessing, 10. Esau stuck his head
through the tent flap and did pour
molten words upon the trick which had
scabbed him of his birthright And
after some hours, when his anger was
Well-nigh spent, he shot the topic SEN
tence straight:
why did you do it?''
Then did Isaac call him near and
look into mis- face. Also did Isaac
smack his lips and point to the re-
mains of the repast and say:
Il love my Esau, but oh, you kid!'
Whereupon Noah, who happened to
be strolling by, carefully tucked the
Jest into oiled paper and did put it
into the Ark. whence, with much odor
and more odium, it was brought forth
by humorists some 1000 years later
