nsn wouldn't be much good at run
ming around house chasing snakes.
But Cousin Orone McDooble did the
best he could, and it worked pretty
we'll, for a garden-hose isn't particu-
lar what kind of noise an imitation
mongoose makes, just SO 1t makes
good loud noise. So Cousin Orone
McDooble got down on his hands and
knees and made noise like mon
goose. 1t was something like dog
and something like hyena. And every
three yelps he snarled and showed his
teeth and jumped at the garden-hose.
The garden-hose just hung there as
silent and still as the grave and glared
him in the eye! And the more it
glared the madden Cousin Mongoose
McDooble got. He fairly bounced
around under the garden-hose on his
hands and knees, snarling and snap
ping. and all at once he jumped right
up and bit the garden-hose in the
neck! And the garden-hose bit
back!
That almost settled Cousin Orone
Mongoose, for all at once he remem-
bered something he had forgot, which
| was that the mongoose, before fear
lessly attacking a serpent, neutralizes
the poison by eating the Ophiorhiza
Mungos, and he had forgotten to
eat any! So he dashed away and bit
piece off rhubarb plant, and then
dashed back and bit the garden-hose,
and he kept it up until on one round
trip the spigot Of the nozzle caught in
his pocket and as he ran the garden
hose leaped out Of the tree and went
leaping after him. My. but Cousin
Orone McDooble was scared! He
jumped right into the rhubarb patch
and ate three whole plants before he
was sure he had eaten enough poison
antidote, but once he was sure he was
no more afraid Of that garden hose
than would be. He lay right down
fiat and seized 1t by the nozzle, and
wrapped his legs around it. and
chewed it, growing like pup with 6
slippery bone.
1t was a struggle for life or death
and Cousin Orone McDooble cheweC
Is feet Of that rubber garden-hose be
fore he was sure it was dead, but WheI
he was sure it was dead he was the
happiest mongoose that ever killed 1
garden-hose. He got up on his hand:
and knees and capered around thu
yard uttering short, sharp barks of Joy
and then, not feeling sure that all tn,
serpents in Betzville were dead, ant
that he ought to protect his poultry a
all hazards, he went into the hen hous
and went to sleep.
And the next morning he couldn'
remember for the life of him whethe
he was a rooster or mongoose an
he might never have had the heart t
come out of the hen house If he hadn'
thought of compromising. So h

The Minority Leader of Congress,

John Temple Graves writing in the
Georgian OF Atlanta, Ca, says:
The nomination OF Hon. Champ
Clark of Missouri as the Democratic
candidate for the speakership of the
national house of representatives in
the Sixty-tirst congress directs pub
sonality of this popular statesman who
last year succeeded Hon. John Sharp
Williams as the minority leader In the

1T is no idle compliment to say that
the mantle of the brainy MISSISSIPPI

the United States senate, has fallen
upon stalwart shoulders.
ITO be the field marshal of either
party on the floor Of congress Is not
an easy assignment. The Office re.
quires clear head and firm grasp.
It demands fuency of speech, vigor OF
action, calmness Of temper under great
excitement, tactfulness of address and
vigilance of attention to the minutest
details of the proceedings. The man
who undertakes to lead the congress.
sional columns must be master of
the strategic game of war. He must
have the resourcefulness to meet un-
expected emergencies, to seize the
coign of vantage for the welfare Of his
side and to inspire confidence in his
prowess amid the most exacting or.
