ENTER NOT INTO TEMPTATION

A reckless man in a geological
garden once seized venomous SER
pent by the nape of the neck and
held 1t up before his companions.
The man thought he had the serpent
wholly in his power. But it began
to coil its long body about his arm
and then slowly tighten its grasp
till the man in agony was obliged to
drop his hold of his neck. Quick
ly then it turned and bit him, and
soon the man was dead.
He thought he was strong enough
to play with the serpent, and then
thrust it from him when wearied of
the play. Many think they are strong
enough to play with temptation OF
any sort, but they find sooner or
later that the temptation has mas
tered them. " Watch and pray that
ye enter not into temptation" said
Christ. 1t is the entering into temp
tation which is to be guarded
against.

A dispatch from Liberty, ~. Y,
in Fridays New York Times. says
residents of Central Valley, especial
ly of Liberty and Hancock, where the
principals were we'll known, we're
surprised Thursday by the disap-
pearance from Hancock of Eugene
Boyle, a prosperous young business
man, following the death of Hazel
Cole, IL years old, and issuance of a
warrant for Boyle's arrest based up
on her ante-mortem statement.
Miss Cole and Boyle had been
known to be friendly for some time.
Recently Miss Cole visited DR.. Phoe-
be Low of Liberty, and on Tuesday
she died after returning to her home.
District Attorney Ellsworth Baker
obtained from Miss Cole an ante
mortem statement, upon the strength
of which he issued warrants also for
DR.. Low and Miss Sadie Carey.
DR.. Low is rs years of age and has
been practicing in Central Valley for
the last twenty years. Miss Cole was
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
liam Cole, who moved to Hancock re-
Gently from Winterdale, Penn.

The Gvpsies.

The origin of the people known as
Egypt, India, Persia and Arabia have
in turn been pointed out as their origi-
nal country, but there is but little
definite knowledge on the subject. The
weight of evidence is in favor of their
having originated in India. They first
appeared in Europe about 400, and
from the Danube region spread all
over the Continent. appearing in Eng
land about 1920.

ROLLER SKATING ABROAD.

Paris Has the Craze and Londor
Starts an Exclusive Sunday Club.
All Paris has gone wild over rollel
skating and the various rinks are gay
all afternoon and evening with per
formers in various degrees OF perfec.
tlon. Even the parks and the streets
have their skaters, and the broad as.
phalt walks of the Tuileries and the
Luxembourg make fine practicing
grounds for small boys and girls. The
keenest of all skaters whether roller
or otherwise are the English school
girls in Paris. and it is astonishing
says the Queen, to find how many
there are of them.
In London the Olympia Skating
Club, an exclusive organization for en-
joying roller skating on Sunday after'
Moons. has aroused opposition among
churchgoers. but Il has come to stay
at least until Easter.

Cause of Tidal Waves.

The great tidal waves observed at
Marseilles on June -, 1903, appear to
have been caused by unusually high
electrical charge of the atmosphere
which is known to have existed during
the period of the earthquakes which
devastated the south of France. The
powerful attraction exerted on the
surface of the earth by this electric
charge caused earthquakes on land
and tidal waves in the Mediterranean.

The length of life of an average
woman, in Brussels at least is super
ior to man, according to the Independ-
ance Beige. Statistics show that dur
ing the last two years the feminine
element has predominated in the Brus-
sells population. In 1908 there were
only 7,S4S boys in the Belgian capital
between the ages of ten and fifteen
years and 1903 girls of the same age.
After twenty years the difference in

DR.. T. Zell, German naturalist. has
collected many instances to prove that
animals learn by experience, and thus
become wiser animals than their unin-
structed parents. Game animals Of
all kinds, he AYERS, have learned
the range of modern rifles. Grey
hounds quickly learn to let rab-
bits alone, and fox-hounds pay no
attention to either rabbits or
hares. Killer whales and gulls follow
whaling vessels, just as vultures fol-
low an army. Crows begin to accom-
pany the chamois hunter as soon as
they have seen the result of his first
successful shot, and rough-legged buz-
yards follow the sportsman after
winged game. The number of birds
that kill or iniure themselves by fly
ing against telegraph wires is much
smaller than it used to be. DR.. Zell
also refers to the fact that birds and
quadrupeds have learned to disregard
passing railway trains, as horses
quickly cease to be frightened by
motor cars. His instances of intelli-
gent selection exercised by sheep
dogs are familiar to all.-Tit-Bits.

SURPRISE TO THE BRITISH.
Organized Cheering and Cheer Lead
Ing Here Novelties for Foreigners.

Ing Here Novelties for Foreigners.
There is probably no one thing
that so surprises British visitors to
our college football games and boat
races" said the one time varsity ath-
lete, "as the organized cheering and
the poses and antics Of the cheer lead
ers. At a British meet polite hand
clapping Is about the strongest indica-
ton of approval Of any performance
and the cheering at the football games
is just that sort any man might give
vent TO IL something stirred him.
THE cheer leader is a product that
astounds many Americans not little,
and therefore the surprise of the Brit
ish visitor is not so remarkable. The
sight of two or three young men, out
in front OF stand, waving mega
phones, whirling arms about aud
twisting from side TO side to give the
time to the cheering folks certainly
is out of the ordinary. Quite busi-
ness is the British comment, and the
cheering does seem to lack spontane-
ity."

Story of a Bunch of Keys.

After Mary Queen of Scots had sue
ceeded in effecting her escape from
the grim old fortress of Lochleven,
her delverer, William Douglas, threw
the keys which had brought her her
freedom into the waters of the lake.
There they lay till the parching sum
mer of 1905, when boy named Will
liam Honeyman, while strolling on its
banks, picked up bunch of five keys
of antique workmanship fastened by
an iron ring. These the boy carried
to the parish schoolmaster, who for
warded them to the earl of Morton,
hereditary keeper of Lochleven cas-
tie near Edinburgh, where they still
remain. They are, without doubt, the
old keys which William Douglas threw
into the loch on the eventful night
when the queen escaped, only to be
taken again and consigned to lifelong
captivity.
