RECOVERED FROM SNAKE slre.
How Ranchman Treated Wound When
Far from Settlement.

Bitten by rattlesnake in the calf OF
the; right leg In the Santa Ana noun.
talns last Saturday, John Mccormick, q
rancher of Grapeland, saved his life
by making an incision with his pocket
Knife and inserting piece Of the
reptiles flesh in the wound. He
bandaged it tightly and walked seven
hours before he reached his ranch,
where he could receive medical treat
ment. DR.. Summer ]. Quint was called
from Los Angeles to attend Mccormick
When he arrived he found that his pa
t1ent was suffering from a slight
poisoning. He declares that McCor-
nick saved his life by his own treat
ment.
Mccormick was hunting through
scrub oak when he felt peculiar sting
In his leg. He looked down and saw
the snake dragging on the ground as
he walked. It's fangs had become
fastened in his leggings and 1t was I'M
able to withdraw them.
With the butt of his gun Mccormick
Knocked the snake off and then crushed
its head with his heel. AS quickly as
possible he ran into the open and car
ried the snake with him. When he
barred his leg he squeezed all the blood
he could out of the two punctures
which the fangs had made. Then he
opened cash, cutting through the two
wounds and letting out the blood and
poison. He cut a piece of flesh out
of the wound. Mccormick used his
handkerchief for bandages and then
tied his leg again just above the knee
to stop the poison from working
through his system.
Mccormick was miles from any settle
ment where he could secure medical
attention, so he started back to Grape
land. His leg pulsated with pain and
ne soon became deathly sick. In his
weakened condition he was compelled
to rest on the road time and again.
When he finally reached home he was
almost exhausted and his leg was
dreadfully swollen and almost black.
Mccormick says that his treatment
was famous among the Indians for
snake bites and he has known of
number Of instances where its applica-
ton has saved lives.-Los Angeles

WIFE HAD poDeEp THE VISITOR.
Little misunderstanding Caused cIeve-
land Man to Go Hungry.

Tough luck came to an East end
nat resident the other night by an odd
chain of circumstances.
Briefly it was like this: The fiat
resident got home 20 minutes ahead
of his wife, who was out to a bridge
whist party.
The husband waited and waited and
waited and then began to get exercised
for fear there wasn't going to be any
thing doing at all that night in the
way Of things to eat.
He waited a fev. 'rutes longer. and
then telephoned TO tie home where
the bridge session had been held. They
told him the other wing Of his house
had started home an hour or two he
fore. Then he called up the neighbors
and all the places where his wife
might have dropped in. But he only
became more convinced that she was
lost or killed-run over by a street
car or something. He began to make
the round of the hospitals and am
bulance lines on the phone.
Then the door opened-this was an
hour or more after the dinner hour
and his wife entered she had been in
the fiat right below. Why hadn't she
come home? Why, she lad come home
just after he did. But when she
reached their door and heard him at
the telephone she jumped to the con-
clusion that he had brought some
friend home with him and was talking
to him. And there wasn't thing in
the house to eat-that is nothing for
company. So she ducked to the floor
below until husband and his friend
should get tired waitinr and hike out
for rcstauraI t.-Clcveland Plain

Sharing His Celebrities.

The management of the various
children's libraries have taken a leaf
from the Arabian Nights. At any
rate, each library now boasts mod
ern Scherazade in the person of a pro-
fessional story-teller, whose mission it
is to entertain the small borrowers at
stated intervals by the recital of tales
wise and otherwise.
On one of these occasions recently
the story was Mrs. Peary's Snow
Baby. The narrator must have been
more than ordinarily vivid in her de-
scriptive passages, for at the end OF
the ceremonies a little Italian boy
came forward and made his modest
plea. Mrs. Peary," he began, win
nirgly, please come around to my
house with me? I'd like my mother
to look on lady that had lived in

The Final Word.

1t is related of Phil Spayce, the
minor author, that he never is long at
loss for smile, drawing freely up
on his personal experiences. When
he seeks TO indicate the i'll humor of
his characters he does not write:
They were as cross as two sticks"
or they were as mad as hornets" or
'they were as angry as demons" g.
For these be phrases all too hack
neyed. Rather does this keen observer
pen it.:
They were as sn3ppy as o man and
wife who have spent Sunday in fat
hunting"
And with this the final word has
been spOkcn.

WANTED TO REWARD soNesTER
Portly Gentleman in Right Mood to
Show Appreciation.

The orchestra of a popular New
York refectory has made a great hit
by its rendition of selections from
various operas in connection with a
very fine graphophone. Cylinders at
five dollars apiece send forth the
mellifiuons voices Of famous operate
stars, while the orchestra plays an ac-
compartment with precision that
furnishes very good Illusion.
Caruso began to carol forth from
the metallic horn the other evening.
and so perfectly did his voice come
forth that the roomful of diners and
Winers became hushed and still. At
the close of a particularly magnificent
burst the audience broke into ap-
plause. A portly gentleman, some.
what flushed from liberal rotations,
gravely rose from his seat in a corner
and motioned to the head waiter.

Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1909-02-10

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to provide separate in
surance department for the state of
Iowa We do not believe that this
is justified by past experience.
Iowa's insurance has been ably man
aged at an annual cost of about
$4,000 in the past. The new depart
ment, according to actuaries, will
cost from 100000 per year upward.
The number of insurance companies
doing business in Iowa and the
amount of taxes paid by them has
actually decreased during the past
six years, rather than increased.
Iowa is becoming burdened with the
continuous creation of new depart
nents, new commissions, ETC., un-
til there is not sufficient room in the
big state capitol to house them. No
depa rtment of the states business
has been managed more successfully
and more economically than that Of
insurance. Then, what purpose can
there be in establishing a separate
department with a Commissioner Of
Insurance at its head, other than to
provide another job for some one at
the expense of the tax payers.
