The trade in snake skins does not at
FIRST thought suggest itself as one re-
quiring large capital or very compli-
Gated organization, at least in this
country. But in the far east things
are different, says the Boston Herald.
The Java Reptile Skin Company has
been incorporated in the island OF
that name, with a capital of $4,000.
Branches will be established in a num-
Der of places throughout the island,
where live snakes will be purchased
from native hunters. Great stress is
placed upon buying the reptiles alive,
since the skin is much more valuable
il the snake is skinned while yet alive.
Live snakes IL to IS feet in length
bring good prices; while dead snakes
are drug in the market The woman
who wears with pride daintily bound
snake skin card case will probably not
give thought to the fact that the ma
terial was stripped from living
snake. Ever since the episode in
Eden some few thousands of years ago
snakes have apparently had no right
to having their feelings considered.

'The Chicago judge VINO held the
other day that woman who has OBJ
tanned decree of divorce and has not
remarked is entitled to alimony when
ever her former husband becomes
capable of paying it, delay in making
the claim being no bar, may start
other proceedings of the same sort,

decision as good law. OF course where
a woman has accepted a stipulated ali
mony at the time of the divorce she
is bound by her stipulation. But the
man whose wife is glad enough to get
rid of him without asking for alimony,
and who has since acquired wealth,
even if he has married again and
raised second family, will now be
worried by the bugaboo that heavy,

the situation may incite good conduct

WHAT WERE THEY THERE FOR
Reporters Seemingly superfluous
Question as to happenings at
Cabinet Meetings.

Postmaster General Meyer is of a
serious turn OF mind, but he has bit
of humor in his makeup, nevertheless.
Being looked upon as the shrewdest
politician in the presidents cabinet, he
is the objective point for newspaper
correspondents on cabinet days.
Last week as Mr.. Meyer emerged
from the White House a newspaper
man asked:
''Mr. Postmaster General. can't you
give us some news about the cabinet
meetings?"
There really is nothing to say" re-
piled the cabinet officer. I'VE dis
cussed nothing of especial impor-
lance"
do you mean to say you did not
discuss politics?' the newspaper man
queried.
The postmaster general burst into
laughter. When he recovered his u.s.
ual serenity he said:
DO you suppose We were all muz-
zled?"

ton company of the Orinoco river,
which had the very lucrative mo.
nopoly of the navigation of that great
waterway Castro was frozen out by
the company going into liquidation
and reorganiziug.
Today Castro's millions invested in
Venezuelan industries have been sys-
tematically reduced by his erstwhile
friends TO a few thousands, and the
many lawsuits brought against him to
recover damages will readily dispose
of this remaining amount. Unless the
late dictator provided for contingent
cies by depositing plenty of money in
the banks OF Europe he will soon be
in want. as it Is very unlikely that
anything at all will be left OF his
Venezuelan property.

Statesmen in America realize, says
the Spectator, that it would be little
short of a national disaster if the COM
mand Of the sea were lost by Britain
and were to pass into German hands"
The English, we are told, are our
silent partners in the Monroe doc
trine, which a Germany that ruled the
sea would not respect. But what dan
ger is there of Germans ruling the
sea? Her navy is not yet half as
strong as the British, says the New
York World. No foreign army has
brought war to English soil for 500
years. The German emperor has done
some warlike talking, but Germany
has kept peace for nearly forty years.

W. Baker, OF Byron Center, and An.

that amount, because, she alleges,
they sold liquor to her husband, and
he later was struck by Lake Shore

cuts about the head.

The passing of the cowboy, like that
of the Indian, is loss to the pictur'
esque in the life of the west; but II
means a gain to civilization, says the
Washington Herald. The Indian dis.
appears in tradition more squalid than
poetic; but the white cowboy, with
the energy of his race, becomes him
self a producer instead of a mere
herder, of wealth. The change is a
gain also to the consumer, for not only
is the labor cost of the product les
sened, but the living animal reaches
the abattoir comparatively fresh from
the grazing land, without the necessity
of refattening at the end of long, ex.
hausting march.

Consul General John Edward Jones
reports that Winnipeg is preparing for
an active campaign against rats,
which have invaded Manitoba from
the south, and are described as
marching on Winnipeg"
The people look with serious con-
Germ upon the subject" says Mr..
Jones. Recently the matter was taken
before the board of control at Winni-
peg with view to devising ways and
means TO check the rodent advance.
Western Canada. especially the
grain belt, has ever been free from
rats, and the farmers are much con-
cerned over their appearance and the
threatened destruction of their har-
vested grain.
THE deputy minister of agriculture
is making a careful investigation of
the subject along the international
