Grandmother's Two Fads.

"My grandmother" said the man
who was raised on the farm, was a
woman of great determination. One
day she was showing grandfather and
me how to seize hornets and smash in
their skulls between the thumb and
forefinger before they could sting-a
little trick in which the old lady took
great pride. She picked the yellow
buZZer off the window shade; the usual
faint crushing sound was heard. and
the old lady smilingly held the dead
body up for our approval. We showed
proper admiration for the feat. but still
regretfully preferred to slap the little
fiends with a board. Not till several
days afterward did we notice the
swollen finger and discover that the
hornet, by some sort Of devilish in
genuity, had managed to sting grand
mother
"She also used to cut up with hoe
all the snakes she could find and feed
them to the chickens. Snake meat, es-
pecially milk snakes, gave the chicken
n peculiarly fine flavor, she asserted.
No one could contradict this theory,
as the fine flavor was there every
Thanksgiving day to prove it."-New
York Sun

2 One thing is sure; the relation be-
tween municipal housekeeping and
is a close one.
Girl Bandits.

A Denver, Col, special says that
Clark NJ. Babbitt of Buffalo, N. Y. who
is taking part in the Glidden automo-
bile tour, arrived in Denver late last
Saturday night and told how he had
been held up and robbed by two girl
bandits. With him were Richard Rad
ley, lawyer of Peoria, H.; A. Y Bar
tholomew. driver, and II. l.. Kupel,
mechanician. Here is Mr.. Babbitt's
story in his own words:
Our car left Sterling about 8 o'clock
Saturday morning, and when We had
driven about 80 miles across the prai-
RE we encountered two young women
on horseback. They were some dis
lance away when we first noted them,
and we supposed they were a couple
of the wild west cowgirls we had of
ten read about. The girls kept gallop-
ing in our direction, and as we were
proceeding slowly. it wasn't long be-
fore they We're within hailing distance.
They waved to us first, and taking it
as friendly salutation of the road,
we all waved back. Some few words
of greeting were exchanged, when one
of the girls called out: Hold on there
minute. | want to tell you some
thing
Better stop | told Bartholomew,
and he came TO halt Then while one
girl kept us covered with her revolver,
the other rode up beside the machine
and held out her hand. | handed over
my money, $93, and Bartholomew pro-
duced his watch and pocketbOok con
tanning S1CO. Without waiting for any
thing more the girls wheeled and rode
| away.
Both girls were young, wore vile
brimmed hats and brown khaki suits.
They rode astride and were dandy rid
ers. The hold-up occurred about IL
O'Clock in the morning. There was no
| way to get anyone TO chase the girls,
and all we could do was to ride on 10
