slKKi /TIK AND THE COBRA.
A Fight in Which the Mongoose Killed
 the Big Snake.

T had the good fortune this even- ing" says a writer in the Ceylon Times. ito witness a fight between mongoose.
 ''On first catching sight of the cobra. rikki tik Gas Rudyard Kipling calls the Indian mongoose) quietly smelt it's tail and then hung around awaiting events with curiosity, but he had not long to wait, for the cobra spread its hood. missed out it's death sentence and prepared to dart from it's coil at its natural and hated enemy.
 Now commenced a most interest ing and deadly battle--of feint and counter feint by the mongoose and strike and lightning-like recovery by his adversary, who was also on the defensive, all the time watching for the opportunity to get in his prop erly aimed bite.
 "'Time after time rikki tik squlrmed slowly up to within reach of those terrible fangs-belly on ground-with every gray hair of his body erect with anger and excitement. his eyes glar- ing from his head, which, by the way, he invariably held sideways during this approach and attack. but the moment the cobra struck in a flash back sprang master mongoose. and although often it appeared as If i'm possible that fle could have escaped the dreaded fangs not scratch harmed him. and there he would be again. wearing the cobra out and pressing his advantage inch by inch.
 At last with a growl and sharp rikky cry the plucky little beast flew in, avoided the strike and seized the snake behind the head. never for a moment getting under it's mouth, hut right at the nape of the neck and head, which he scrunchef with loud cracking sound. despite the struggles and twisting and turning of the cobra. Again and again. rikki returned to the now writhing reptile and bit it's head and body until it lay dying.
 Finally he ate three or four inches of his mOrfal foe, but carefully avoid ed eating the fangs and poisoE glands, which l picked up by a stick and found them broken, but with the venom sacks attached. Contrary to popular belief. I am of opinion that the mougoose is not immune from snake poison, else why should he so avoid being bitten? It is only by his marvellous activity that he escapes the spring and darting strike of his deadly enemy the cobra di capeila"

WANT SENTENCES
 COMPUTED

Little Rock, April 5.-Application for communication Of sentence for Garfield Turner and Anderson Fur her, from the circuit court of Full ton county, has been received by Governor Donaghey. and as soon as the proper records are received Gov Donaehey will probably grant the re- quest of the court.
 The Turner brothers are under sen tence of death, July s, being the date set for the execution. They confess ed to killing the brother-in-law ot Anderson Turner, John Whitson whom they shot down as he was ploughing in a field because he had referred to them as half breeds and their grandfather as the biggest nig- ger in West Plains, Mo-
 Members of the jury would not agree to a verdict of murder in the first degree unless the court would agree to have the death sentence commuted to life Imprisonment. The Turner's are in the penitentiary for safe keeping, and their actions there lead the officials to believe they are mentally unsound.

KEY PITTMAN'S SPEECH

Mr.. Pittman in his speech Friday
night held the intense attention of
his audience for an hour, by the
clear incisive and at times eloquent
analysis of political conditions and
issues.
At no time did he use any
language that might be construed
as Mud singing, but his dissection
ex-senator Nixon's official record
was fearless and unrestrained.
He showed how the failure of the
republican party to carry out it's
pledges to reduce the tariff,
destroy trusts and monopolies and
to prevent over charges and
discrimination by railroads, had
been the inception and stimulant
of insurgency in tht party. He
traced the triumphant march of
insurgency westward through the
republican states. He recounted
its growth in Nevada, and it's death
at the republican convention. He
challenged any republican in the
audience to refer to q single
insurgent plank, principle or
sentiment in the whole republican
platform He called attention to
the fact that such platform con-
tanned no pledge to reduce the
tariff, destroy trusts, to eliminate
the bank haul, establish reasonable
railroad rates based on physical
valuation of railroads or for the
elimination of the influence of
money and Especial Interest" in
politics while the democratic
contained definite pledges to
remedy all such conditions. He
contended that the endorsement
of the republican administration
was an Endorsement Of Aldrich,
Payne and Cannon and that no
honest intelligent insurgent could
stand for such endorsement.
He called attention to the fact
that Senaor Nixon had not in six
years mentioned our cattle
industry, our mining industry, or

CARVED OUT HIGH POSITION
Wonderful Rise Of Sir Ernest Cassel
From obseurity to Companion
Of Monarchs.

Sir Ernest Cassel, one Of King Ed
wards hosts at Biarritz, has had q
career full Of romance. the romance
Of the self-made man. 1t seems like
fairy tale that the. unknown lad of
the '70s should now be the friend and
counsellor Of the king of England and
the German emperor.
1t Is rumored that he Is one Of the
six men who move in the mysterious
background of the government Of Eng.
land. says the Gentlewoman. He has
been the builder of his own fortune.
Money has grown under his hands.
and banks and railways have made
his vast riches.
One of the most dramatic moments
In his career was Boer war Incl
dent. The British government stood
In need Of big sum at short notice.
It was obtained by Sir Ernest In three
hours. Luck seems not to attend him
on the turf, although he once won the
Two Thousand.
Much has been written on Brook
house, his Park Lane residence, but
there has been scant mention OF the
Turkish baths which occupy part of
the ground floor, nor OF the marvellous
range of Kitchens. There are six of
these, with marble floors and walls.
and they include pastry kitchens, grill.
ing, roasting and boiling kitchens, a
vegetable kitchen and a room for fruit
and flowers.
