terror.
In addition. an ugly lizard, black
as the coal the vessel burns, keeps
the snake company.
Both snake and lizard belonged in
a consignment of $50 snakes sent
to the Bronx Zoo. They escaped
when the vessel was far out to sea,
and hid in the bales of hay that
made up the food of twenty Jersey
cows the ship brought over. These
cows had to be MIXED twice each
day, and the milkmen found several
times that they had been MIXED in
the night. They at once blamed the
snake and lizard.
Before the Minneapolis starts back

IN that way YOU become the happy

washing machine, or an improved

who quit his cotton-growing' to travel
around the country peddling de-
vice to release a runaway horse from
the vehicle. The agent had figured
out fortune in it, and the foxy
farmer bit at it with prompt alacrity.
The calculation was all right
enough; but by the time the foxy
farmer had travelled with that device
about three months he was more
than willing that some one else
should complete the journey to the
end of the rainbow.
And last of all comes the man
who sells the foxy farmer some
shares of stock in a Percheron stud
horse. When the +. f. arouses him

the strength to consult a lawyer
much less fight the case in court.

Admiral Raphael Semmes of the
Confederate States Navy.-News
Item.
Among the long list of distinguish
ed men born in the memorable year
1909 few had a more romantic and
career than Rear Admiral
Raphael Semnses of the confederate
navy, who first saw the light in
Charles county, Maryland, September
9th of that year. Moving to Ala
bama in 1912 he distinguished him
self in the Mexican war, remaining
afterward in the service of the United
States navy as lighthouse inspector
till Alabama seeded. Commissioned
commander in the confederate navy
he fitted out the Sumter" in New
Orleans, with which he captured
eighteen northern merchantmen.
Finding himself blockaded in Tan
giers, North Africa, by two United
States men-of-war he sold the Sum

sixty-two northern merchantmen, his
daring exploits striking terror to

sage June 10, 1864& Rather than
surrender his sword on this occasion
Semmes threw it into the sea, and
officers of the British navy afterward
presented him with one to take it's
place. Getting back to America he
guarded the water approaches of
Richmond, surrendering to General
Johnston at Greensboro May /, 1865.
After the war he gave most of his
time to law practice, but was for a
time professor in Louisiana Military
Institute, and for time edited dali
ly paper in Mobile, where he died in
1877. His book, Service Afioat," is
one of the foremost classics of the

by Gen. Clement A. Evans of the
United Confederate Veterans in or
dering a general observance of the
hundredth anniversary of his BIRTH
September 27th, who says:
Undoubtedly no soldier in the
army of the confederacy, nor sailor
in its navy contributed as much to
familiarize the inhabitants of the
globe with the stars and bars, the
flag of the confederate states, as did
the commander of the Sumter and
the Alabama. Brief was the life of
each of these vessels, but the life of
each was full Of glorious action, and
the skillful way In which our great
naval leader managed all matters
whether as expert in admiralty, able
seaman, or daring commander, re-
tiected the highest credit on his abili-
ties and added luster to the cause he
Represented.

Farmers and Cotton Shippers Likely
to Get Something Besides
Promises Now.

ATLANTA There may be a COM
plete revision of the cotton rates all
over Georgia, the railroad commits
sion passing an order yesterday for
opening the issue on November 10th
next This decision grows out of a
complaint brought before the COM
mission by the MilledgeviIle Com
press Company for special rates on
cotton from MilledgeyilIe to sayan-
nah, for different rate for COM
pressed and soft, or uncompressed
cotton, and finally for a grant of the
same privilege as a concentration
point as given other places.
The commission deems it advisable
to open the entire issue of cotton
rates between all points in the stare
and from all points to ports. The COM
mission will also probe the charges
made that certain congresses have
contractural privileges with certain
railroads, and that special priyi
leges are granted certain compress
companies to the hurt of others.
The railroad commission will send
out notices to all compress com
panies, the railroads, boards of
trade, chambers of commerce and all
Others likely to be interested in the
question in any way.
This is one of the most important
questions ever raised by the com
mission, and one over which there
will be the greatest interest when it
comes up for a hearing.

Consumption is unknown among
the Eskimos in the north, nor is
there any skin or bone form of tu-

United States they contract consump-

brought to New York all contracted

1t is well known that the long arc
tic winter, with it's depressing eff
fects on body and mind, often upsets
the best balanced nervous system,
even of the natives. But this hys-
terra vanishes with the summer. EX-
plorers have suffered in the same
way, and two have committed sui
eide. In summer Eskimos get SO
full blooded that nOse-bleeding is
very common.
All degenerative diseases that
cause SO much suffering and death in
civilization are absent from the Eski-
mos. The pure, sterile arctic air
contains no germs, but the natives

tartan in the far north and shuts
the door against all disease germs.

Walrus Hunting Is PerilOus.
The large number of children and
lusty young widows shows the dan

in which the hunting is done, is a
very frail craft. The Eskimo can't
swim. The wounded walrus tears or
sinks the little skin canoe, and wild

common charges.
At a distance it is difficult to dis

mate, as the sexes dress similarly.
The outer clothing consists of trous-
ers and a coat fitting close to the
body and covering the head by pro-
longation of the coat, like a hood
The clothing is made of the skins
of seals, land animals and birds.
Some of the southern Eskimos have
been christianized, and their mode
of life has been brought somewhat
into conformity with civilized ideas.
The great majority of them, however,
believe in a crude form of nature
worship and hero veneration.
