SNAKES FOR CONSUMPTION.
druggist, Given Up by the Doctors,
Treats Himself.

Henry Hoefen, a prominent drug
glst of Rochester, N. Y, who was
IN the last stages of tuberculosis a
year ago, and who has been treating
himself with crotalin, or rattlesnake
venom, has been pronounced cured
Oy the physician who told him two
years ago that he could not live.
ionlght the same physician told him
that there were no indications of
actlVe evidence that the cavities in
the lungs had not healed.
Hoeten had suffered twenty-one
severe hemOrrhages, and was weak
ana emaciated. He read the story
OF the experiments made by DR.
Thomas j. Mays of Philadelphia, and
oDtalned some of the poison from
Rattlesnake Pete" of this city. He
prepared the doses himself and took
one-hftieth of a grain every four
hours internally He started to take
the medicine on Christmas, 1909.
AFTER taking one hundred doses he
showed marked improvement. Now
MS weight is above normal, his cough
mas disappeared and his lungs are
healed.
DIR. Milton Chapman, who exam
med Hoefen two years ago and found
lung LESSONS and tubercular bacilh in
great numbers, said
Hoefen's lungs are healed. His
cure is exceptional, as men who are
SO far gone as he was seldom or
never recover. His use of the We
nom produced such remarkable re-
suits that it justifies it's use in other
cases. Rochester physicians will un-
doubtedly use the venom for many
tuberculosis patients, now that the
trial of its effect on Hoefen has
proved it's efficacy"

TWO MEET HORRIBLE DEATH
OVERTURNED WAGON WAS CAR
RYING VITRIOL AND TOTS.
Children Bathed in Deadly Acid
Screamed as 1t Burned Off Their
Clothes and Ate Their Flesh.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Two chill
dren dead, two others are critically
injured and seven more are terribly
burned as the result of the upsetting
of truck loaded with carboys of
vitriol, on which they were riding
The driver of the truck and eight
other men, who helped to rescue the
children from the fiery fluid, are suf-
fering from severe burns.
The dead are: Raymond Dagger,
Z years old, and Catherine Daniels,
9 years old.
A fire department supply wagon,
loaded with vitriol acid and on which
the children we're riding broke an
axle as it was turning out of street
car track to let trolley car pass at
Eighteenth street and Ridge avenue.
The breaking of the axle upset the
vehicle, splitting the children and car
boys. The carboys broke, and in an
instant the ten youngsters were COW
cred with the deadly acid.
Their screams were frightful as
the acid burned off their clothes and
began eating away their flesh. The
driver of the wagon, Richard Grear,
passengers from the trolley car and
policeman promptly went to their
rescue and tore the clothes from the
children as best they could. Each
one who touched the saturated cloth
ing was burned, some so painfully
they were unable further to help.
The 0reataSf excitement prevailed
All sorts of passing vehicles were
stopped, and the children and their
rescuers were placed in them and
hurried to the nearest hospital.
Five of the children on the wagon
belonged to Grear. Their ages range
from to 13 years. The other five
children were their playmates.
Grear was giving them all a ride
in making the routine of the fire sta
tions. The acid was being taken to
a fire station for use in chemical en-
gines.

CALOMEL REVIEWS PLUM TREE
Man Is Wondering What Effect the
Fruit Will Have.

That a good dose of calomel is as
good for a sick tree as for a sick
man is the curious doctrine worked
out by William Morrison, station
agent at Lincoln, Del, who claims
practical results to prove his asser-
ton.
Morrison has large plum tree in
front of his house, which is supposed
to be about rs years old. For years
the tree has borne but few plumbs,
never over one or two quarts. A
faithful believer in calomel for the
ills of men Morrison determined to
try his favorite remedy on the tree,
and last fall bored a hole in the tree
and into this hole inserted a spoon
full of the medicine and then plugged
the hole up tight.
The tree has several hundred
quarts of fruit now ripening on its
branches.
Only one doubt assails Morrison.
He is wondering what the action of
the plums will be on the persons
who eat them.

HAS A RARE DISEASE.
Arkansas Man Dying From an Attack
of BLACK Water Fever"

y
of "Black Water Fever"
B. c. Greivous, native of Little
Rock, Ark, is believed to be slowly
dying in a Louisville, KY, hospital,
the victim of a strange malady
known as "black water fever" The
disease is indigenous to African soil,
and never before has been observed
in this country. The patient was adj
mitted to hospital. He has been
in Louisville for about a week, dur
ing which time the physicians were
at a loss to diagnose the case. On
Friday, however, certain symptoms
developed that proved beyond a
doubt that he was suffering from the
disease so much dreaded by natives
of the gold coast section of Africa
The disease is nearly always fatal,
but it is not thought to be infectious.
Mr.. Grevious spent some time in
Africa, experimenting the cutting of
mahogany logs for the MengeI Lum-
Der company, and while there con-
tracted the disease. On his cot the
patient losses from side to side suf-
fering the most excruciating pains
In places his limbs are swollen to al
most twice their normal size.

When Jean was youth, he told
the judges who sentenced him, he

Jeanne Chabut, the pretty little
daughter of neighbor. When he
became a man they plighted their
troth. She knew nothing of his dew
ilish nature. He was good to her,
but he poked the eyes out of living
people that they might not later be
able to identify him, and he cut
their tongues out to keep them from
talking. When the band was cap
tured Jean escaped. He was, how
ever, condemned to death by the
guillotine along with the others. 1t
meant that when he was recaptured
if ever-he would be beheaded
without further trial. Everybody
said he would get away for all time.
He had. But when spring came Jean
heard the soft whisperings of love,
and he returned to Jeanne and the
police were waiting for him.

THE CENTER OF POPULATION.
Is Expected to Be Moved by Census
From Columbus, Ind.

By the census OF 1900 the center
of population of the United States
was located six miles southeast of
Columbus, Ind, and the spot was
marked by a monument. Just where
the center of population will be To-
Gated by the census Of 1910 is yet
problematical, but it is quite certain
that it has been moved south and
west, probably about the Indiana
boundary line. Ten years hence it
will be still further south and prob
ably a little east.

T HE question is going the rounds.
Should a woman be allowed
- seat IN court ON the judges
bench; otherwise. Is she fitted 10 be
a judge?" Well, why not? If she is
able to master all the intricacies OF
Blackstone. Littleton and Coke. and
prove herself good lawyer. why not?
She has well earned her way into sew
eral OF the professions. and the aues-
tion used to be asked. why should
women study law?'
But not so today. Rather is it, why
should she not study law? 1t had be-
come almost a matter of tradition
that a woman should not become a
lawyer. Perhaps that can be ex-
planned through a misconception on
the part OF the public of the character
Of the profession. Among some per-
sons the idea prevails that the lawyer
must be a person constantly engaged
in turmoil and strife; whose hard.
threatening voice and ''buIlyra ggfng'
propensities must scare timid wit
nesses. and impress juries. and all
such.
But no one knows better than mem
bers of the profession how remote
such an idea is from the facts. When
a woman knows she must work for a
livelihood. it Is well for her to choose
an avenue not already too crowded.
Since many of the colleges have opened
their doors to US, we can take our
choice OF a profession. and with will
and determination succeed in 1t. The
same reason prevails (to make liv-
ing) when women become physicians,
artists. scientists. ministers, educa-
tors, hnauciers. editors, and engage
in almost all pursuits which. a few
years ago. were considered the excIu-
sive property OF men. Many a hus-
band can be found who will tell you
that he considers his wife's Judgment
better than his own. In some impor-
tant and weighty matters, and cer-
tainly this type OF man will vote for
women as judges when that state OF
things comes to pass
In the meantime let the thinking
ones of our sex take good care OF
health the greatestsblsssing thatcAn
