A Serious Problem.

The question of getting express out
from vinita has during the last few
months become serious problem.
Heretofore the mail carrier has been
hauling the express but of late he has
found the extra work entailed to be too
arduous. AS result one can never
be certain If the express will get here
or not In many cases this has been a
great inconvenience to our people, who
feel that something ought to be done
to remedy this state OF affairs. There
is enough express hauled from Vinita
to warrant a hack being put on to
bring it out. and we hope that someone
will see their way to take this step for
it would be great benefit to Centralia
and the country tributary to it.-Cen-

I SAID IN MY HASTE

New York. Jan This query was
put to Colonel Roosevelt yesterday
1T is true that the provocation for
the publication of your correspondence
with Treasurer George R. Sheldon, of
the republican national. committee, was
information conveyed to you that
memories of Hartman we're about to
be issued and you desired to forestall
them?'
Roosevelt fumed and retorted:
THE man who told that story is a
g. liarl"
you have recently called practically
Everybody liar?"
The colonel waxed even angrier, and
responded
Il have been greatly misunderstood
as to what | mean when call man
liar.
"A liar is not necessarily man who
merely tells an untruth MY definition
of liar is that he is man who de-
lliberateIy invents and circulates a
falsehood. That is the kind of a liar
the man is who circulates the story
we are discussing"

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS
BRIGHT AT HENDRIX

The training of the 1912 Hendrix
football eleven is we'll under way
Coach Staples has out each afternoon
a magnificent squad of 80 men. The
men of last years team who are on
the job again are Cunningham, Har-
ton, Shinn, Holmes, Erwin, Young
worth arrived Saturday from the
University of Arkansas, where he
had gone to enter and Hendrix fans
are very much pleased at his return.
With such veterans as these in the
lineup, there is no doubt that Hen
dirk will be coming strong after
few days of practice. Among the
most promising new men are Ellis,
from the Camden high, Messenger,
from Oklahoma, Stevenson, from the
Russellville high, Coleman, from the
Fordyce high, Bibinger, from st.
Louis, and Robertson, from the War
rem Training School, Ellis bids fair
to star. Besides these mentioned, nu-
merous second team men are fighting
for places on the college team. Some
of them are formidable contenders.
A training table is soon to be insti-
tuted at Tabor hail. With few eX-
ceptions, all the squad have the ad-
vantage of this training table. Coach
Staples considers it a strong factor
in the making of his team. The first
game is with the University of Ar
kansas, to be played at Fayetteville
at an early date.

Little Rock, Sept. 24,-The Arkan-
sas supreme court is again in session
and is opening with the prospect of
plenty of business. The court is be-
ing held in its new quarters at the
new capitol, although the old furni-

WARY OLD BLACKSNAKE
GAVE NATURALIST A MERRY
TIME BEFORE ITS CAPTURE.
every Device, From Flight to Open
Defiance Resored To- Finally
Shaken From Tree Top II
Continues Resistance.

A naturalist in Virginia encountered
desirable specimen of blacksnake
which he wanted for his collection. AS
usual in such cases the snake saw him
first. 1t lay perfectly quiet, trusting TO
escape observation.
Directly in front Of the naturalist
lay vice open space. The naturalist
knew that he could easily overtake
the blacksnake before 1t could reach
the bushes opposite. The blacksnake,
too, seemed to be cognizant of this
fact, inasmuch as the man had not
taken half a dozen steps in its direc-
ton before it changed its tactics and,
some ten feet away, turned and
charged its hunter.
The man spread his legs and stoop-
ed to catch the snake. But the black
snake displayed such agility that be-
fore the hunter could determine just
where to grasp it the snake was ten
feet away.
1t was evident that the blacksnake
expected the man to fee, as no doubt
it had seen other men fee under such
seven feet in length and although
quite harmless looked formidable
enough to brighten the average man.
AS its hunter did not fee the snake
turned about and again charged. This
time 1t swerved from its course when
1t saw that the man was standing his
ground. This deviation in the snakes
= f-a+@
coiled after the manner of a rattle
snake.
1t elevated its tail and vibrated it
with great rapidity and, striking the
leaves and twigs, managed to produce
a buZzing sound not unlike the warn
ing Of RATHER. At the same time it
drew back its head as if ready to
strike
The man continued to advance; &c
the snake once more changed its tao
tics. 1t began to doge in and out of
the bush. The maneuvering conunu-
ed for perhaps ten minutes. Then the
man, seeing a good opportunity, rush
ed forward to secure his prize.
The blacksnake mounted through
the bushes to their tops and went
from the tops to the lower branches
of a small birch. 1t continued to
mount upward and made its way to
the swaying tip, some Is feet in the
air, performing the feat as quickly as
squirrel could have done 1t.
FROM this elevated position the
blacksnake surveyed the man in tri-
umph. But It's exultation was short
lived, for vigorous shake of the tree
brought it down, and as II fell upon
the soft bed of leaves at the hunters
feet the man threw himself upon the
serpent and succeeded in catching it.
Even then the blacksnake did not
lose it's head, but by an unexpected
movement managed to fasten one OF
its teeth in a finger, inficting deep
scratches.
The naturalist kept this snake for
nearly two months. 1t proved TO be
the most intractable of blacksnakes.
Whenever the naturalist took it in
his hands il would exhibit much IL
genuity in ite attempts TO escape.
