A missionary, writing from darkest

to a certain section of that country,
and regrets that his trips were princi-

IN A PYTHON'S COIL.
An Adventure That Nearly Cost Zoo
Official His Life.


Tire attendants in geological gardens
are exposed to dangers of various
sorts. The superintendent of the Gin
.i1nati animal park once had an adj
venture with yhon which came
near costing him his life.
1t became necessary to make some
changes in the snake house. and the
superintendent. Mr.. Stephens, was in
the cage of pythons anticipating no
danger. when to his dismay he saw
the largest snake coming toward him.
kissing and darling its tongue angrily.
Instantly he realized his danger.
The superintendent quickly grasped
the huge reptile just back of the neck
with his right hand and with the left
clutched the creature two feet lower
down. where the greatest muscular
power Of the python Is located.
He tried 10 thrust the writhing mass
into waiting box. but the python
coiled its twelve feet of length round
the mans leg and began to construct
carrying Its Tightening coils higher and
higher.
Struggle as he might. Mr.. Stephens
seemed helpless in the serpent's grasp.
His hands were so moist that the
scaly body twisted in them. Perspira-
ton streamed down his face. The
python had worked its head free and
was darling its horrid tongue almost
In its victims eyes.
The man threw up his hand instinc-
lively TO shield his face, and at the
same moment the snake seized and
began swallowing 1t.
BY this time the attendants had
rushed into the cage. and they began
beating the python. Not liking this
treatment. the big snake relaxed Its
coils. Mr.. Stephens jerked his hand
free and broke off one Of the python's
fangs In his thumb In so doing.
"If had not held on to its heaviest

But the law In France was not always
so tolerant. In the middle Of the sew

hidden to hiss In n playhouse. and In
every theater there were number of
"gardes Franchises" with strict orders
to arrest any person infringing the
law.
But the French are not easily put

SUCCESSFUL WOMAN FARMER.
Mrs. George BacaStow Raised Seventy
Bushels of Corn an Acre.

Arkansas City, Kan, Nov. At is
not every community that can boast of
a woman who raises 20 bushels of corn
to the acre This community has such
a woman, however. Last spring Mrs.
George BacastcW concluded she would
raise a crop of corn. Her husband let
her have an acre of ground for that
purpose, and the ground was put in
condition under Mrs. Bacastow's direc-
ton Then she planted and covered
the seed. = When the corn came up she
cultivated it, hoeing it herself and
keeping the weeds out.
One day last week Mrs. Bacastow
and a boy went into her cornf1eld and
shocked the corn When the work
was finished she had just 20 bushels
of corn, which entitled her to the blue
ribbon in Cowley county as woman
corn raiser.

SKIN SUFFERERS
DOUBT IS REMOVED.
Specialists Are Convinced That Oil Of
Wintergreen Wash VIII Cure.

Many eczema sufferers have failed
so utterly with salves and other dis
coveries'' that even the assurance of
the best physician or druggist cannot
induce them to invest another dollar
in any remedy.
1t is to these discouraged sufferers
in particular that we now offer, at
only % cents, a trial size bottle of the
accepted standard eczema remedy,
simple wash of oil of wintergreen as
compounded in D. d. d. Prescription.
The best skin specialists long ago
became convinced that this simple
wash offered the only true cure for
eczema, and the thousands of cures
could not help but convince us also.
We confidently hope that with our as
surances every sufferer will be willing
to try this D. D. d remedy, at 25
cents; especially as we know you can
prove instantly with the first applica-
ton that it takes away the itch at
once.

Causes Debility
Here Are Facts Backed Up By
a Strong Guarantee.

Catarrh causes debility. In our
opinion, most people suffering from
general debility cannot be completely
cured by medicine not designed to
eradicate catarrh. In every case
where our remedy fails to give entire
satisfaction we will not charge a cent
for the medicine employed during the
trial Now, surely no one should hest
tate to believe us or to put our claim
to a practical test under such condi-
tions. We will take all the risk; no
one else can lose anything by the
transaction
We make these statements and this
offer because we know and have time
and again proved that Rexal Mucu-
Tone rarely fails to do as we claim
1t is not cure-all prescribed to cure
every disease that flesh is heir to. It
is intended for one purpose. i. e., to
cure catarrh by assailing the diseased
condition in a reasonable, scientific
way, which is to employ agents that
have been found to have the tonic
and Alternative power to correct faulty
metaboliSm Tissue change) and to
stimulate and help nature overcome
the cause or causes of eatarrh. This
being done, appetite increases, nutri-
ton improves, weight is gained COM
fort, of body is attained and 1ife's work
taken up with the zest natural to the
perfectly healthy individual.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone. Follow directions and take it
regularly and consistently for a reas-
enable length of time. Then, If you
are not satisfied, come back and tell
us and the money you paid for the
treatment will be returned without
any argument whatever.

sizes, soc and 500 a bottle. Sold
