old mans voice would dropto to proph-
etic tone-"the Ringing Brothers are
the future ShoWmen of America. They
are the coming men," Although poor
old Robinson did not live to see his
prophesy come true, the brothers
demonstrated the veterans correctness
by constantly rising until they became
what he had said thev would, namely,
Americas representative show manag-
ers. and proprietors of the Worlds
Greatest shows.
For several years they continued
with their wagon show, each year ad-
ding horses, animals and equipments,
until in the year 1890, when they
found that their institution had grown
SO large that it was impossible to long
er transport it overland by wagons,
railway cars were provided, and their
already extensive shows augmented by
,faany additions. They had attained
these results by years of patient labor,
by many hours of thoughtful counsel,
by careful conservative means, by dint
of the greatest individual and coIlec~
tive exertion, and by he steadfast, un-
wavering determination to climb to
the top and to have the greatest tented
expositions in America.

with a black snake, [ know it was not
uncommon for such large black fell
lows to be met with in the state of
Ohio 50 years and further back. |
have seen some dead ones about the
length of the one spoken of by Mr..
Wright, who, L suppose, is a son of
one of nay old chums in the old home
town.
[ have seen smaller ones, but always
gave them wide berth. While pick
ing blackberries on one occasion in
company with some companions, [
saw one lying at full length, probably
four feet, on top of the bushes, which
were higher than my head, and | very
quietly went to the other side where
the other boys were and told them of
it. They at once went to see the
snake, but l never learned whether
they saw it or not. They evaded my
question and gave me no definite
answer.
[ saw one once lying direc ly in my
path when on my way home from
school, but did not know whether it
was alive or dead until | struck it
with stout stick just back of the
head, when l discovered that someone
else had killed it and laid it across the
rath to frighten the next conner, who
happened TO be myself.
But that country was fairly alive
with all sorts of snakes as far back as
[ can remember-no,f farther back than
my time, as [ know by hearing them
talked of by old settlers.
Snake Ratified shingles.
[ have heard my aunt tell of one that
disturbed her in the night and woke
her up. In their little cabin was a
ru 4e loft and on that lott bunch of
loose shin les, probably old oak shin
giles shaved out by hand, for such
were about the only shingles we had in
my boyhood days, and they were
about two feet long and had to be
punched in one corner for the carreE-
ter to drive a nail through. Herself
and husband occupied bed immedi-
ately under the loft and in the night
she heard those shingles rattle. She
knew at once just what it was and was
badly frightened, for which no one
blamed her. Snakes were almost
everywhere in those days. She woke
her husband, saying, "rhomas, Thom-
as there's a snake on the shingles over
the bed"
"Oh, no, I guess not" SAID the
sleepy man.
"Yes, yes, there is, [ know! came
from the frightened woman.
Thomas got up and producing his
tinder box struck a light, and sure
enough, right over their heads was a
bic one, black snake, do not kno W
how long, but [ know his life was not
a long one after his discovery that
night, for Uncle Thomas soon cut it
short.
Uncle Thomas was surveyor and
travelled all over where his services
were needed, and he always carried his
tinder box with him and was an ex-
pert in it's use, as he had to light fires
frequently to warm his half frozen
hands before he could write his notes

mail before Christmas, Secretary Har-

morrow complete the distribution of
final December payment to the
growers of the valley amounting to

made today brings the total paid out
so far by the Grand Junction Fruit

1t is probable that several pay

this will be the last for the month of
December.
Considerable extra effort was put
forth by the office force of the asso-
citation to see that these checks
reached the growers by Saturday at
the latest so that the money would
come in time for the Christmas shop

Washington. Dec 21.-President
Taft sent another message to con-
gress today this one dealing with
currency reform, Panama Canal tolls
and other government questions. He
gave his approval to the national
reserve association and said it was
unfortunate that the wise and undis-
puted policy of maintaining the un-
changed main features of the bank
ing system, rendered it impossible to
introduce central bank. He urged
that currency reform be not made a
political issue. but recommended
some sort of an ultimate government
supervision of the reserve associa-
ton, the immediate establishment of
rural parcels post; urged the Presi-
dent. THE starting of the post will
not destroy the business of the coun-
try store keeper"

WRONG ALARM
CALLS POLICE
Chief and PatroImen Hurry
to Chimney Fire.

A chimney fire in the house owned
by Morris Plane, at 1877 .Fayette
street, called out the fire department
at 10 o'clock this morning. No dam
age was done, as SCOT that had col
lected in the chimney caught fire and
sparks were seen issuing from the
fiue by Joseph Jurman, who turned
in an alarm from box 36.
When Patrick Rocks turned in the
under control taps instead of two
bells ringing Ave taps, the signal for
the E0..ce, sounded. When the
police call was heard by the patrol
men they hurried to the scene of the
supposed blaze. Chief Burke was
one of the first to arrive, followed by
Patrolman Andrew Jensen, who was
on state street, and Patrolman Tim
othy Quinlan, who was in front OF
the city hospital.
Washington Hose and Chemical
Company was the last company te
respond to the call this morning az
the horses that draw the apparatus
were working on the outskirts OF
the city and many minutes elapsed
before the horses arrived at the fire
house. "This is another incident
that clearly shows that the different
companies should own their own
horses and keep them in the houses
at all times" said prominent mem
ber of the company after the fire.
