Many African tribes count snake
flesh among the delicasies. and John
Ward says that with the Australian
natives "a dish of snakes is a much es-
teemed luxury" Many kinds Of birds
eat snakes. Pigs are particularly fond
OF them, as also are some deer: brit
in the old days it was understood that
deer only ate snakes in summer. for
which reason their venison was at that
time poisonous, a sagnacious fiction
which it was doubtless well to make
widely known in times when there was
abundant temptation to Devastating
and regulations concerning close sea
sons would have been treated with in
different respect.

1t is a city commonplace.

1t is city commonplace.
Life is so cruel to some! Nature is
so careful of the type. but SO careless
of the Individual! And the submergins
of this old wreck, worn and water
logged. makes scarce a ripple on the
wide waters.

The recording angel only knows.
He lived perhaps as you and ! have

and he knew joy and sorrow and love

made and lost. until the day came
when he was alone and friendless and
weak and falling.
Were you ever a poor boy in a great
city? Men hurry on intent upon their
own. Piled tier upon tier in the great
commercial palaces are the abundant
masses of the swollen fortunes. Hap

men and women roll iuxuriously in
costly carriages. While you

crushing sense of the worlds cruelty

But to be thus-and old!
Here is the alternative-to beg or
steal. If you can forget your pride
and beg, few will stop and listen. If
you steal. they will put you in an iron
cell. The law of trade is something
only for something.
Sympathy? Charity?

NICARAGUA

There can be little doubt that the
Nicaraguan situation is more grave
than the country imagines. The Sc
cret orders given the forces of land
and sea, and the apparent readiness of
the marines in Panama, together with
the disquieting statement of the Amer
lean vice consul at Managua, that he
is in danger, all point to serious trou-
bile.
The question is much greater one
than the mere one of whether or not
the two Americans, Cannon and Groce
were guilty or not of the alleged
crimes for which they were executed.
The rights of American citizens may
not appear much involved by the sum-
mary courtmartial and immediate exc
cution of two soldiers of fortune
The real question is the American
interests. present and future. of the
United States in that portion of the
world. The Panama Canal must be re-

When the lives of the two American

This action. following that OF the

some complications as a result of tbs

AWARD REBATE TO
LUMBER COMPANY
RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS Or
DER NORTHWESTERN TO
PAY BACK $57.84.
Madison, Dec. %.

Madison, Dec. 22.
The Chicago & Northwestern rail
way was ordered yesterday by the
railroad rate commission to refund to
the Heineman Lumber company OF
Wausau $57.84, the amount being ex-
cess charges on shipment OF five
cars of lumber from Rib Falls, Wis,
to WausaU, a distance of l7.2l miles.
The claims was based upon the fact
that similar shipments for the same
or greater distances had been made
by the defendant company at less
rate than that charged in the present
instance, Wis. cents per 100 pounds.
There was some irregularity in the
billing in the case and a claim by
the petitioner that it was the purpose
of the lumber company to reshlp the
product made from the lumber over
the defendant road.
The commissioners criticise, some
what, the circumstances OF the case as
presented but awards the claim OF
the petitioner upon the facts as re-
yealed but disciaims purpose to
make such facts a basis of future rul-
ings. The commission finds that the
rate charged was excessive and that
a reasonable rate would have been 8
cents per hundred pounds.
In the case of the Menasha paper
company against the Minneapolis, ST
Paul G. Sault Ste. Marie Railroad
company similar order was made
ordering refund of $22.96 on car
load of pulp wood shipped from
Rhinelander to Ladysmith at charge
of So cents per hundred pounds. Inc
commission find that cents per nun
dred pounds is a reasonable rate anu
enters Judgment accordingly.
