]. Wood, Of Aurora. Mr.. Wood is a
lumber inspector, and on July p, last,
was at Blue Lake, Miss. He was
shown the dried skin of a diamond
back" rattler, which had been killed in
the camp few days earlier. The
snake had measured over eight feet
and the skin, which John Greier had
preserved, was twenty inches wide and
seven feet long, as he had so stretched
it as to get the largest possible piece
of leather out of it. This reptile had
been killed in the passway of the
camp, and Mr.. Wood was warned to
be careful after nightfall( as it's mate
was reasonably certain to be in the
neighborhOOd. Needless to say he
rushed the measurement of the lumber.
On the last night of his stay he was
aroused by noise in the camp street.
He pulled down an automatic shot gun
and sat up and watched dark object
creep along until it came under a flare
lamp. He now saw that it was an
enormous snake, and instantly poured
the contents Of the weapon into the
creature. Sure enough, it was the
missing mate. 1t measured nine feet

NO GAME WITH
STEVENS POINT

Peary's visit to the north pole seems
to have had a chilling effect on the
Stevens Point High School. Whether
their refusal to play Grand Rapids
this year is case of ''cold feet" or
whether their fall schedule is actually
filled at this early date, we do not
know, but the fact remains that some
how Stevens Point High School and
Grand Rapids will not face each
other this fall. 1t is recognized
fact that the local boys are playing
first class foot ball this season but
none of them have for moment sus-
pected that their reputation would
subdue high school like Stevens
Point. When asked for a game,
their reply hat their foot ball sched-
ule is all ready filed, has caused no
little amusement. and the home team
is beginning to think that Stevens
Point is going to spend the autumn
months holding a triangular tourna-
ment between Stevens Point, Plover

boys are sorry to announce that the
game will not come off Saturday but
are willing to guarant a few excit-
