boXful of pine snakes, delivered by an
express company in mistake for
pump, gave employees at the local sta
ton of the Standard Oil Company q
scare when they opened the box and
fifty big and little reptiles stuck their
heads through the covering.
There was a hasty scramble for eX-
it's before some of the holder of the
workmen pushed the snakes back into
the box again and clal ped on the lid.
The express agent explained the la
bells on the pump and the box of
snakes came off in shipment, with the
result that a Philadelphia pocketbook
manufacturer got the pump and the
snakes came here to the oil station.
The reptiles were caught by natives
in the pine belt, and some of them
were eight feet long.

Tennessee Woman With
Chicken Talent Makes 1t Pay

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 17.-Mrs.
Reginald Stonestreet, wife of we'll
known Nashville physician, bears the
unique distinction of suddenly becom-
ing full-fedged poultry raiser. Her
remarkable success in the face of
many handicaps is due not only to her
business ability, but to a certain tai
ent which she is just finding belongs
to her and which, for lack of better
name, might be called chicken tai
emit" Mrs. Stonestreet has cleared
something more than $1,000 on chick
ems during the last twelve months,
and so rapidly has her ambition de-
veloped that she has purchased a
larger home in the country near Nash
Vile, where she will this summer start
a poultry farm.
Such farms are creating a good deal
of attention throughout the East and
North. and even in the South several
well-known poultry men are learning
the value of pullets and cOckerels. But
so far as can be learned, Mrs. Stone
street is the first woman in the South
to start into the poultry business on
her own account. 'She has purchased
a residence surrounded by several
acres of land near Glendale Park, and
September l she will start a WELDON
Quoted, up-to-aate poultry yard in this
city. The place will be known as
"The Park Poultry Yards" and it is
the intention of their owner to make
it within the next few years one of
the most famous places to poultry en-
thusiasts in the South.
When asked by reporter the other
day how she managed to make such a
success of it, all the woman with the
chicken talent replied:

King Georges grant, three weeks
ago, of a free pardon to Earl Russell
of the bigamy of which he was con-
victed by the House of Lords, after
a trial by his peers in 1901, calls for
some explanation, for Lord Russell
was sentenced at the time of his con-
viction to a term of Imprisonment in
Holloway Jail, and most people would
have taken it for granted that the
serving out of the sentence practic-
ally purged the earl of all other penal
consequences of the crime.
Conviction of felony, however, car
ries with it all sorts of civic disabil
tiles in after life, and a man who has
"done time" can, under ordinary cir
cumstances, never hope to receive
any elective office. It even interferes
with the mans practice at the bar,
if he happens to be a member there
Of and to have escaped the custom
airy disbarment on conviction. 1t does
not, however, prevent a peer from
occupying his seat in the House Of
Lords and casting what may some
times be a determining vote in mat
tiers of imperial Importance.
King Georges pardon, which was
granted at the instance of Winston
Churchill in his capacity as secretary
for the home department has the
effect of wiping out all the conse-
Quences of the conviction and of re-
storing to Lord Russell every one of
those civic rights and prerogatives
which he would have until now en-
ioyed had he not been regarded as
a felon who had "done time"
The bigamy for which Lord Russell
was punished was perpetrated in this
country He secured q divorce from
his first wife, Mabel Scott, at Carson
City, Nevada, and was thereupon
married at Reno few days after
ward to Marion or Mollie, the di-
vorced wife of George John Somer-
vile, Aberdeen, and daughter Of
George Cooke of Cumbernauld. This
divorce was regarded as invalid by
the English courts on the ground that

Madame LindenCrOne'S
Partisan "reminiscences

In Harper's for October, Madame
de Observation-Disclosures tells of
her experiences in Paris during the
Commune. One days adventures are
typical On March 20, 1871, she
writes:
To-day there was a great demon
stration in the streets.
"a young fellow named Henri de
Pene thought if he could collect
enough people to follow him he would
lead them to the barbados in the
Place Vendome in order to beg the
communards in the name of lie peuple
to restore order and quiet in the city.
He sent word beforehand that they
would come there unarmed.
81 happened to go at one' o'clock
to Worth's, in the Rue de la PaiX,
and, finding the street barred, I left
my coupe in the Rue des Petit
Champs, telling Louis (my coachman)
to wait for me in the Rue St. ATnaud
Gust beyond the Rue de la Paix), and
walked to No. Z.
81 wondered why there were so
few people in the street; the Place
Vendome was barricaded with paving
stones, and cannons were pointing
down the Rue de la PaiX. I walked
quietly along to Worth's, and hardly
had I reached his salon than we
heard distant, confused sounds, and
then the shouting in the street below
made us all rush to the windows.
"What a sight met our eyes!
"This handsome young fellow De
Pene, his hat in his outstretched
hand, followed by a crowd of men,
women and children, looked the pic
ture of life health and enthusiasm,
"The crowd bore banners on which
were written Les Amis du Peuple,
'Amis de TOrdre,' Pour la PaiX,' and
one with Nous ne sommes pas
armes,'
zone can't imagine the horror we
felt when we heard the roar Of a
cannon and looking down saw the
street filled with smoke, and fright
ened screams and terrified groans
reached our ears. Some one dragged

Lord Chelsea Again Bankrupt.
Lord Chelsea, who was gazetted
bankrupt last year, eventually secur-
ing his discharge through his father,
the Earl of Cadogan, coming forward
and paying his liabilities, amounting
to some $4,000 in full, has once more
been judicially proclaimed insolvent,
this time with load of debt amount
ing to $25O.OOO and with assets of
about $4,000.
The creditors stand very little
chance of getting anything this time,
for as far back as in 1893, when the
prospect of Lord Chelsea's succeed
ing to the great wealth and vast es-
tates of the Earldom of Cadogan ap-
peared somewhat remote, owing to
the fact that his elder brother,
Henry, and the latters son, Edward,
were still alive, he sold his reversion-
airy rights to the family property TO
his father for the sum of $4,000
of which he was in great need at the
time.
His eldest brother, Albert, who
bore the title of Viscount Chelsea,
died in 1878; his second brother, also
known as Lord Chelsea, died in 1908,
his widow being now the wife Of
Admiral Sir Hedworth LambtOn, and
his second brothers young son, also
known as Viscount Chelsea, dying
just year ago. Gerald is therefore
the fourth of the descendants of the
Earl of Cadogan whom the latter has
lived to see bear the title of Viscount
Chelsea.
Nothing His Creditors Can Touch.
Owing to the sale of his reversion-
airy interest to his father, Viscount
Chelsea will inherit little or nothing
from him on succeeding to the earl
dom, nothing, at any rate, that his

man F. H. Gillett, who, with John
Mabbett, Representative G. p. Law
rence's secretary is camping in Hard
wick, was attacked by monster frog
while dressing fish at the edge of the
lake today.
Dearden shows a series of missions
on his right hand, where the frog bit
him, He killed the frog, which he
says was so old that the cartilage OF
its mouth had turned into bone and
provided it with serrated jaws as hard
as flint.
The frogs legs were fourteen inches
long.
