Americans were not the first people
to adopt the eagle as the emblem of a
nation. The eagle has been Il favorte
with many peoples, and his heradic
history goes away back to the morning
time Of history. The standard of the
eagle was borne by the PersianS as
far back as the time of the battle of
Cuna xa. B c. 401. The Roman car.
ried gold silver and ivory elglcs as
standards. Charlemagne added the
second head to the eagle for his arms.

Mr.. Berger scorned the lie that the

suited ly such imposition on its in

tons OF continental Europe they have
protective tariffs, notably Germany

home market. After the industries
were established and the farmers got
his home market 1t was suddenly dis
covered that the tariff was not for
these, but to give high wages to Ia
Dor! Well, Mr. Berger made it so
plain that the tariff is not for labor
that he who is both a wayfarer and a
fool Is bound to agree with him. Get
his speech on the wool bill and read

Mr.. Berger contends that It Is the
organization of labor that makes high
wages, not the protective tariff, which,
he holds. Is a burden and not stan,

his hands to provide for his stomach.
He called attention to the fact that
we have always had free trade In Ia

does it?'

Hopkins. You haven't lived in this
town all your life Mis- Virgins, and
you don't know what Silas is capable
of. Why, | remember once when he
was young fellow, going to singing
school with the rest of us, We got up
a picnic.

she'd bring some chicken sandwiches.

another.
"In fetch some jelly and cookies,
says somebody else and so it went on
till we had most everything we could
eat, promised. Then one Of the boys
who had no sisters said he would
bring the coffee. That gave Silas his
chance. He'd been sitting by, listen

real brisk, and says he:

little fellow had started to visit rela.

mained all night. The big snake evi-
dently did not molest the child for
some time, for the boy said he was
down in the hole several hours be-
fore ne felt the snake coiling about
his leg The child freed himself and
climbed up several feet on the jagged
rocks of the we'll where he held him
self until exhausted, when he fell back
to the bottom Of the well, striking his
head and losing consciousness. About
daylight the snake came out Of its
hiding place and, coiling, prepared to
attack the boy, when the latter
grabbed it by the neck and held 1t
against the side Of the well AS the
rattler would coil its body about the
child the little fellow would struggle
to uncoil the reptile, realizing that the
snake would win the battle if it got
its body circling his. Finally the boy
pulled stone from its place and with
this struck the snake on the head and
stunned it. Encouraged, he delivered
other blows and succeeded in killing
the rattler. His screams attracted the
attention of a searching party, and he
was taken from the we'll with ropes. 1t
was while pulling the stone from the
side Of the well with one hand that
the snake bit him.
