VALUABLE PRoMIssoRY NOTE.

Franzied finance is not. exclusively
a habit of recent years. says the Kan
sas City Star. At the Riggs National
bank in Washington there is care
fully guarded proof of the. forego-
ing assertion. Regarding the proof.
there is told this story: One winter
morning, Henry Clay finding himself
in need of money. went to the Riggs
bank and asked for the loan of $3.50
on his personal note. He. was told
that. while his credit was perfectly
good. 1t was the infexible rule of the
bank to require an indorser. The
great statesman hunted up Daniel
Webster and asked him to indorse
the note. with pleaure." said Web
ster. But 1 need some money my
self. Why not make your note for
FIVE hundred. and you and will split
it?" This they did. And today the
note is In the Riggs bank-unpafd.

SNAKES FOR SALE.

Hunting snakes for a living is the
occupation of a Mexican in San An
tonic, Tex. who finds a ready market
for all the venomous reptiles he
catches. says the Omaha Bee. The
buyer is a dealer In West Commerce
street, who supplies shows, museums
and scientists.
The snakes are sold by weight. and
for choice specimens of rattlers rs
cents a pound is paid The Mexican
has two ways of catching RATHER.
An old one is caught by placing a
forked stick over its body just back
of the head and holding it down until
the snake catcher can grasp It safely
and drop it into a sack. Young rat
tiers are grabbed by the Mexican
with his hand and dropped into a
sack without using the forked stick.
In catching water moccasins the
hunter wades into the stream carry
ing a moose. which is dropped into the
water I'm front of the snake and pulled
up as It swims through. Small mecca
sins, like small rattlers. he catches
with his hands.

DISAPPEARANCE OF LAKES.

Whether the globe on which we
dwell is gradually drying up or not is
a question that has been much de-
bated. Recent discoveries in Central
Asia have been regarded by some as
favoring the Affirmative answer, but
others have replied that the observed
phenomena are simply periodic
changes. DR.. Walser of Zurich cham
pions the Affirmative view on the
ground that a number of, European
lakes have certainly disappeared with
in the last $50 years. The Canton, of
Zurich, for example, had 149 lakes a
quarter of century ago. and only 70
today. He believes that a similar ten
dency to disappearance has affected
the lakes of Germany and Russia.

American lemon growers won a signal
victory over foreign competitors and
the transcontinental railroads when the
interstate commerce commission a few
days ago reaffirmed its previous order,
upset by the new commerce court, re-
ducing freight rates on lemons from
California to all other points in the
United States from $1.15 per hundred
pounds to 81.
The fight over lemon rates has been
in progress since 1902, and originally
involved the question of competition

originally ordered the reduction, it's

had no right to take into consideration

remanded the case for rehearing.

orders the carriers to make effective the

An oleomargarine bill has been intro
duced into congress by Representative
Burleson of Texas, which is very note
worthy. Among the good points in it is
the proposal to change the name from
oleomargarine to margarine, conform
ing with the practice Of all other coun-
tries. The bill is too long to print in
this issue, but careful reading of it
shows that it is fair to all, and its pas
sage will break up the practice of sell
ing oleomargarine as butter. The bill
provides for the removal of the present
unjust tax, thus allowing a wholesome
food to be placed on the market and
sold at a reasonable price.
