GIRL IS CHARMED BY SNAKE
Young Woman Is Discovered Standing
 MotionIess in Hay Loft When Help Arrives.

Harrisburg, Ill.-An instance in which the power of snake to charm ! person was exemplified at the home of Dr. R. E. Groce, who lives south of this city.
 c. c. Howard, in passing the barn of Doctor Groce, heard the screams of a young girl. She could be seen in the loft of the barn through an open win dow. MT. Howard jumped from his buggy and reached the barn about the same time as did Doctor and Mrs. Groce. The girl, who is Mrs. Groce's sister, was standing motionless upon pile of hay, looking squarely into the eyes and glittering fangs of monster blackslake. Howard called to her to jump, but she made no reply other than to scream. Keeping his face to- ward the snake all the time. Howard reached for shotgun, which Doctor Groce had gone to the house after, and discharged both barrels, tearing the snake into fragments

 That's so much like dear old cricket don't you know

 So they trot across to the tirine room and sit around on the cushions quite comfortably, and sip the fragrant Bohea, or the aromatic Lpton-clear and with Jumps. and when the whistle blows the recall they put their spoons m their saucers and amble back to the field prepared to renew the bruta nudging and wrist slappinG-

NECK DEEP IN WELL
KANSAS WOMAN HOLDS UP BABY
 FOR EIGHT HOURS.
;hild Fell Through Trap and Mother Plunged After lt-EeId It Above the Water UntiI Husband Re-
 turned.

Sedan, Kan.-Mrs. John Burch, wife of a young farmer living near here, saved her child from drowning in a cistern by plunging into the water after it and holding it in her arms above the water until help came eight hours later
 The baby, less than two years old, was playing about the cistern when the trap door on the platform gave way under her weight and she fell into the water, many feet below The mother saw the child disappear under the water and leaped into the cistern after it. The water was five feet deep, and Mrs. Bu-ch, in mersed to her neck, had hard work % keep tie child above the water
 The hours went by and seemed like ages to the mother. She screamed for help time after time, but no one was near. Then came darkness, and Mrs. Burch believed she would have to spend the whole night there
 She was growing weaker all the time,. and tried to ease her benumbed arms by shifting her tender burden constantly. She thought her husband would surely hear her at supper time, but he was late returning from work. Between her calls she comforted the frightened child.
 When her husband came in about eight o'clock from his fields he searched the house and then the barn, then the orchards for his wife and baby. Finally he thought of the cis- tern, and turning his steps toward it, heard his wife calling, and quickly res cued them. The wife collapsed com pletely from the strain after being car. ried into the house.

Lcve of Nature.

Too many, however, still feel only in nature that which we share with the weed and the worm;" they love birds as boys do-that is, they love throwing stones at them; or wonder if they are good to eat, as the Eskimo asked of the watch; or treat them as certain devout Afreedee villagers are said to have treated a descendant of the prophet-killed him in order to worship at his tomb, but gradually we may hope that the love of science the notes i've sound upon the string5 of nature"-will become to more and more. as already it is to many. a faithful and sacred element of hu- man feeling.

One Head Blind, But Could Bite, as Captor Found to His
 Sorrow.

Towanda, Pa-H. c. Spencer of Mount Lake, four miles from Towanda, brought to the county seat a snake with two heads. The reptile, which was of the garter variety, was beauti- fully striped and two and one-haf feet ong.

ASSOCIATION TOBACCO Being
DELIVERED.
These Good Prices Show Why The
Farmers Should Stick to the
Association.

During the month of January the
deliveries of tobacco here in Marion
have been quite heavy. Thirty,
forty or fifty loads come into town
every day. The greater part of the
tobacco goes to the Stemming Dis
trict Tobacco Association at the
Jarvis factory.
While the prices have not in all
cases been as high as had been
hoped for, the farmers as a rule seem
fairly well pleased with the situation
The farmers are especially delighted
with the courtesles shown to them
by Mr.. Head, the well known tobacco
merchant of jacksonville, who pur.
chased the Crittenden county crop of
tobacco from the Stemming District
Tobacco Association.
We give below the grades received
by some of the leading farmers Of

tn z LEAF MARKET

In the early portion Of December
we had the decision of the Admiral
ty in respect to the recent tenders.
the resulting business being about
$50 hogsheads. This. | think, is
the only feature of special moment
that took place during the month ;
the other business that was moving
continued to be done in the usual
retail mode, and. in the aggregate,
will not amount to anything worth
recording. The purchase by by the
Admiralty has about cleared up our
market of Western strips; the few
remaining ought now to be of imme.
date interest to users; particularly
is this so as we have news from a
reliable source in the States report
ing that fully IS per cont. of the
dark Western crop has now been
sold to the Trusts and Regies and at
considerably higher prices than last
year. This is a matter that causes
great anxiety to all Independents,
as the stock of the Western tobacco
now on offer Is triAing compared
with a years consumption. Still it
seems absolutely impossible to suggest
any course by which the situation
may be relieved. Last year, with
the Farmers Association controlling
the dark tobacco, the situation was
far from satisfactory to our manu-
facturers, but the full effect of the
Farmers control was not felt, as
several members of the Association
broke away and sold their tobaccos
loose to the independent handlers,
and this was undoubtedly a material
benefit to market. Hal this not oc-
CURED this market would have been
in bad way as TO supplies of Wester
ms. Even with this assistance the
position today is one that must cause
manufacturers great concern, a.
there is considerable danger of de-
mand overlapping supply. THIS
is a strange state of affairs when one
considers that only few years ago.
Crittenden record-press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1909-191?, 1910-01-27

there was always good two years
supply on hand on the market. The
Trust OF course, are not bothering,
as although no one knows what they
hold. everyone knows that the bulk
OF the tobacco wareboused here be-
longs to them. There is no question
that the obtaining Of supplies has
now got into most unsatisfactory
state both Tor merchants and manu-
lecturers possibly the Tobacco Sec
ton of the Chamber of Commerce
could suggest some means of I'm
provement.
Personally, suppose that unless
the cooperation of the Trust were
secured it is impossible to do any
thing to improve matters. The
decision of the Lords to let the people
be the final Judges of the Budget has
not resulted in any state Of chaos, as
was prophes,ed in some quarters; 1t is
not yet possible to withdraw tobacco
without paying duty, and at IS. Sd.
or IS. and a bankers's guarantee for
the Sd.
Taking the years trade as whole,
1t may be considered fairly satisfac-
tory. Of course, under the greatly
altered conditions under which the
trade is now unfortunately conducted
the volume of business cannot help
but be small by comparison; when
