A Snake Worth Having

Rigdon Johnson, farmer living near
New Harmony, N. j., has a rat exter-
minator which he says beats a whole
pack of rat dogs. Mr.. Johnson's rat
exterminator is a chicken snake about
six feet long, and it has taken refuge
in the barn and granaries of the farm.
All the year it wages incessant war on
the rats and mice about the place, and
as result of the snakes strict atten-
ton to business Mr.. Johnson says he
hasn't a rat or mouse on his 200
acres of land. He says he never has
any corn eaten by rats. He has given
instructions to members of his family
not to injure or modest the snake in
any way and intends to allow it to
make its home on his farm as long as
it cares to remain. A chicken snake
is not vicious reptile. 1t is a black
snake with white spots covering the
back,

as whatever article of food the pub
lie appetite is switched to is bound to
go up in answer to the demand. In
the meantime, conditions will be dis
turbed, while a panic Of more or less
magnitude may be precipitated at any
moment by sudden slumping in the
market quotations of some commodity.
This wave of "meatless" agitation
will subside as quickly as it came, to
the gain only of the gamblers in life's
necessities and to the hurt (fnancial)
only of the people.
In the meantime the increasing
thousands of men and women who
have found it unnecessary to eat meat
at all and have ceased doing so from
both conscientious scruples and re-
gard for health-and not in an effort to
force down the price of flesh so they
can gorge more cheaply-are smiling
quietly at this latest evidence Of tenn
porary mental alteration on the part o.
the meat-eating population. G. E. B.

New York, Jan. 25.-"Sir," said a
gentlemanly detective, you're wo-
man."
Sir" said the well-dressed stranger
in trousers, arrested on the street the
other night, Il am; what of it?"
The prisoner was a quiet-mannered
girl of 10 years, wearing frock suit of
good material, mans gray felt hat,
glasses and mans street gloves.
MY name is Marian Hamilton
Gray" said the girl, composedly, and
I have been wearing boys and mans
clothing for the last ten years. Since
I began to pose as man I have
learned to smoke pipe and cigarette. :"
Miss Hamilton Gray volunteered the
statement that her arrest was due to
the jealousy of wealthy woman of
Newark Valley, N. Y, who had want
ed to marry her.
In the night court the magistrate
held that the case presented no viola
ton of the penal code and she was re-
leased.

Non-support and abuse were charged.
A sensation was created in court when
Frank Gallagher assumed the witness
stand and took oath that he had never
married Mrs. Gallagher, denying the
alleged ceremony before DR.. Damon.
DO you deny that you have lived
with this woman for twenty years, are
the father OF her children and have
always held her out as your wife?"
asked Judge Gay.

Then it is clear to me that whether
you have or have not ever had mar

Don't Have to Get Married

Following the decision OF the SUI
preme court of the state in a similar
case, Judge Gay of Seattle last week
decided that if man and woman hav
lived together as husband and wife fo'
twenty years and reared a family they
are married, in the eyes OF the law,
whether any ceremonial celebrated
their nuptials or not. Judge Gay sup
plemented this decision with the grant
ing Of decree of divorce in the case,
and awarded all the community prop
erty Of the couple, estimated at $20,-
600. to the wife, with $50 per month
alimony.
The decision was delivered in the
ease of Clara Gallagher against Frank
Gallagher. The husband is promi-
nent contractor.
The complaint Of Mrs. Gallagher set

Canine BOoZers

There is a new scandal in the
Brooklyn, NY, police department. 1t
has been discovered that six of the
police dogs, which were added to the
force a year ago, have become adj
dicted to the use of intoxicants. Three
times they have been found under the
influence Of liquor while on duty. The
dogs, it is said, some time ago made
friends with bartender in the district
which they patrol. He offered them
liquor and they soon acquired an ap-
petite for it. Various suggestions for
disciplining the canine guardians OF
the peace are under consideration.

Have Your a Pet "Fear'?

Can anyone, outside of fiction or
mythology, boast that his freedom
from fear is absolute? Many are suffi-
GENTLY brave to dash into a burning
building or leap for drowning man.
Courage happily abounds, but often in
the bravest there is some strange and
often unreasonable form of fear.
A Frenchman mentions many sorts
of specialized terrors, some of which
are these:
Aichmophobia, or fear of sharp
points, as of needles.
Agaraphobia, or fear of open spaces.
Haematophobia, or dread of blood.
Monophobia, or fear of solitude.
Necrophobia, or horror of dead
bodies.
Thanatophobia, or dread of death.
Bacillophobia, or fear of microbes.
Pathophobia, or fear of disease.
Kleptophobia, or fear Of becoming
kleptomaniac.
Pyrophobia, or fear of matches.
Stasophobia, or fear of evil results
from standing upright.
Aerophobia, or fear Of high places.
Demonophobia, OF dread of the devil.
Phobophobia, or fear of having fear.
Some, says Golfers Weekly, do not
enjoy passing through herd of cows.
One cannot enter a room of strangers
unabashed. When one man does not
welcome the opportunity to walk along
a deserted wood road at midnight,
another, as prospective bridegroom,
cannot face a churchful of people with
out a tremor. For one it is Poe's
Tales" in an empty house, for another
the preliminary whirl of a dentist
drill, for third a dinner at which he
is post-prandial speaker, for a fourth a
waiter who has not deserved tip. Few
get through life entire strangers to ter
ror in some form.

Results of reform" Erratic

The city council of Trenton, N. j.,
recently passed an ordinance providing
that all persons who cannot get seats on
trolley cars need not pay fare and a
peculiar situation has arisen. Crowded
cars have suddenly become popular.
Stand up and save your fare" is
the slogan of hundreds. The ordi-
nance also provides that conductors
must refund fares to men who give up
their seats to women passengers.

Naked, They Waited for Chariot

At Lynden, Wash, last week,
George Paschtot, his wife and four
children, stripped themselves Of their
clothing and clambered to the roof Of
their home to await the coming of a
fiery chariot from heaven. The tenn
perature was close to the freezing
point and when the family were dis
covered and forced to come down,
their baby, Martha, aged eleven
months, was dead from hunger and ex-
posure, and another child, two years
old, was at the point of death.

IS IT COMETARY INFLUENCE?
Meaningless Waves of Popular Unrest,
Says Writer, Are Due About This
Time-fie Cites Meat Boycott

History hath it that the appearances
of great comets have always been
accompanied by great disturbances Of
the minds of men. The years OF the
comets visitations are noted for wars
between nations and strange and con-
fused movements among the peoples
of the earth.
It is claimed by those who are adept
in such matters that a change occurs
in the terrestrial magnetism surrounding
the human race, and the latter be-
come more or less cratic, rushing
hither and thither upon the most fruit
less and contradictory enands. Thus
it mayhap be that the close approach
of Halley's and other comets are al
ready beginning to make the people
Eighty and irresponsible.
At present the people of the United
States, by hundreds of thousands, have
decided to stop eating meat in an at
tempt to force down the price of that
cannibalistic diet. With an enthusi-
asm amounting to almost madness
'meatless" clubs are being formed
by the hundreds in what will prove to
be fruitless chase after one of the
many wil-o'- the-wisps of modern So
ciety.
Already the crusade is causing the
closing of many meat emporiums and
the throwing out Of work of hundreds
of men. The livestock market is be-
ginning to show a marked infection of
scariness and farmers are already noting
the weakening of the prices of their
products.
Even the "meatless" reformers are
at variance as to what to do and who
to do it to, as per the following news
dispatches:
Blames the Farmer
Chicago, Jan. 21.-Edward Til
den, president Of the National Pack
ing company, declared tonight that
farmers are to blame for the in
creased cost of meat. He said the
packer has been forced to raise his
prices in accordance with the raise
demanded by the farmers or lose
money. With the exception Of
pork" said Mr.. Tilden, there is
nothing in the meat line so CORE
spondingly high as wheat, corn and
other farm products. Other things
along the line are higher than be-

Blames the Consumer
Santa Barbara, Calf, Jan. 23.-
High prices of food are due as much
to the extravaganza Of American
women who have the spending of
the wages of American workingmen
as to the avarice of the tarif-protect-
ed trusts, according to E. P. Ripley,
president of the Santa Fe railroad,
who is passing the winter here. Mr..
Ripley has just issued commentary
on the present widespread strike
against high-priced meats, in which
he asserts that the boycott may have
a beneficial result in teaching waste
full housewives a needed lesson in
economy.

the line upon which the crusade start

What to Forget.

If you would increase your hap
piness and prolong your life, says
an exchange, forget your neighbours
faults. Forget all the SANDER you
have ever heard. Forget the temp
tations. Forget the fault finding,
and give a little thought to the
cause which proyokedit. Forget the
peculiarities of your friends, and
only remember the good points
which makeyou fond of them. For
get all personal quarrels or histor-
les you may have heard byaccident
and which, if repeated, would seem
a thousand times worse than they
are. Blot out as far as possible all
the disagreeables of life; they will
come, but will only grow larger
when you remember them and the
constant thought of the acts of
meanness, or, worse still, malice,
will only tend to make you more
familiar with them. Obliterate
everything disagreeable from yes
terday, start out with.a clean sheet
to-day, and write upon it for sweet
memory's sake only those things
which are lovely and lovable.
