day afternoon. He had just dismounted
from his saddle horse at the ranch and
was opening a feed box, when the rat
tier struck him on the arm. The faugs
hung in his coat and il was necessary
to grasp the snake and hurl it from
him.
The physician had the presence of
mind to slash open the bite with a
small scalpel he happended to be car
rying with him and allowed the wound
10 bleed freely He Immediately
mounted his horse and rode in all haste
back to town, making the distance in
80 minutes.
The poison began to take effect, a
vein having been pierced, and Dr..
Waugh fell from his horse twice or
the way to White Salmon. When he
reached there he WIS blind and ex-
haustod.

ciated here, was notified by telephone

With these words he disappeared
The young girl hastened to search the
garden for a flower which should have
an abundance Of petals, but each one
appeared TO promise but a brief fs-
ture for her beloved
At length she picked a Persian car
nation, and, with the aid of a gold
pin taken from her hair, she separated
each one of the petals of the flower
so as to Increase the number of foliOles
and Of the number Of years accorded
by the god to her fiance. Soon under
her deft fingers 100, 200, 800 petals

had been evolved, and the young girl

Singular 1t is that Abraham Lincoln,

it seem strange that should be here

head off, with blood running all around
me?" Full of humor. he was usually
sad. An obstinate opponent, he never
hated one he opposed. Brave himself.
he had - ut cost sympathy with the
timid. This was one of his most Pc

Was it not that with that farseeing
intellect of his he looked into human
