SLAVES or FASHION.

Please notice the men.
It is no unusual thing; in fact, it is a
frequent occurrence for man to lift
his voice or manipulate his pen and
typewriter in TRADE against the
slavery of women to the beck and
call of Dame Fashion. They wax
indignant over the numerous changes
in the styles of costumes and hats that
are assumed by the members of the
fair sex during the course of a year.
They call it silly They insist that it
is indefensibIe extravaganza. They
laugh with derision at some of the
styles. They weep with despair at
others, especially when the bills for
them come in. But they are general
" wheedled into paying the bills. or
permitting them to be contracted, just
the same. However, that's what
they're on earth for, anyhow; or so it
would seem.
To get back to the men, though,
and why they should be noticed.
There has been a transition among
them from straw hats to those of the
felt variety, stiff and soft 1t develop
ed over night. And what's the reason
There's only one. Dame Fashion, or
her male assistant issued a decree at
some time or another that straw hats
became passe on and after September
1. The why of this is a mystery.
After that date there are weeks of
weather that are just as suitable for
men to wear straw hats as were the
weeks that passed on their way be-
fore. To be sure a mans straw hat
begins to look a trif1e hors de combat
as August wanes. At that, though, it
is generally in keeping with the rest
of his outfit which he clings to ten
/ aciousIy until the winds of winter
blow. There is no reason for his sud-
den discarding of the straw hat ex-
cept that an unreasonable custom says
it is out of date on September 1. And
why don't the women laugh and make
merry accordingly 1t must be thai
they are more generous minded thar

whom the exigencies of life demand
that they tolerate.

Deer Rim Rattlesnakes.

81 was trout fishing in the lower
part of the Pennsylvania hemlock belt
this season" said an Orange county
citizen, and seeing and hearing more
rattlesnakes than was pleasant asked
a native OF the district If those cheerful
reptiles weren't more plentiful than
usual thereabout. He said they were,
and told me why.
1T is because the woods have been
cut away So said he. The cutting
away of the woods has made deer
scarcer. Naturally the thinning out Of
the deer has taken out Of the woods
one of the greatest foes the ra-t Q"
ever had. A blacksnake hates rattle
snakes beyond everything. but he
doesn't hate them bit more than
deer does.
Deer will hunt rattlesnakes as
persistently as good dog Will hunt
birds. When a deer ooce gets its eyes
on a rattIer that rattler's fate is sealed.
The deer waits until the snake
coils to strike. Then 1t rises on its
hind feet and strikes the snake with
the sharp hoofs of its forefeet, killing
it instantly. After killing the snake.
if there doesn't seem to be any OF It's
kind at hand requiring the deer
attention, it will cut the dead one to
pieces with it's hoofs.
g In the fall of the year, when the
snakes are returning to their dens for
the winter, and in the spring, when
they are coming out again, deer visit
as they pass in or come out. In this
way while deer we're plentiful in our
region they undoubtedly Kept the rat
tlesnake population down by thousands
every year. There are not enough OF

hold the poison peddling reptiles in
check.

fang deep in a nostril. The buck,
Jerking its head back suddenly, had
pulled the fang out of the snakes Jaw

belt told me that If I carried a black
ash stick with me I needn't be afraid
of all the rattlesnakes there were In
that or any other region, for a rat
tier wouldn't come anywhere near

always be sure of huckleberry pie or
nudding for dinner wherever there
were rattlesnakes. for rattlesnakes
and a huckleberry country invariably
went together. He said, too, that I
needn't be afraid of getting malaria as
long as I was in a district where there
were rattlesnakes.
II didn't carry black ash stick to
test its efficacy against proximity or

all but I had huck1eberry pudding or
