RABBIT KILLED
BIG BLACKSNAKE
Tlmid Bunny Was Not Afraid Of Ser
pent and Won Fight Il,
TWO Hours.

Keosauqua Democrat: There comes
from the farm OF Mr.. and Mrs. Craig
Sherod, mile northeast Of town, q
report Of the most remarkable battle
ever heard Of, battle to the death
between blacksnake and a rabbit.
The Sherods are fanciers of white
rabbits and have quite a number OF
them old and young. Among the num-
Der is a large male, who, like other
male animals, takes it upon himself
to look after all the rabbits on the
place.
Sunday afternoon Mrs. Sherod
noticed some kind Of commotion
among the rabbits, and on going out
was struck with CONSERVATION on OBJ
serving that which appeared to be a
battle royal was going on between the
male rabbit and blacksnake that was
fully three feet long The rabbit had
the blacksnake by the back Of the
neck, close to the head, and was whirl-
| ing it around and around. The SER
pent was wriggling and making such
resistance as it could, but 1t could not
release itself. The rabbit would shake
until he had become exhausted and
then would let go its hold and rest.
But If the snake tried to get away, the
rabbit would spring upon 1t and seize
| 1t by the neck again and shook and
whirled the reptile until he finally
killed it. 1t was two hours after the
rabbit attacked the snake before he
had finally dispatched it. While the
fight was going on the other rabbits
gathered around and watched 1t to
the last.
The fight took place near an old
pile of rails. 1t is supposed his snake
ship was there for the purpose of
making meal OF young rabbit.
This story might be doubted were 1t
not fully confirmed by parties from
town who saw the body OF the snake
Monday and observed the manner IN
which 1t had been killed.

HolO to Keep Face
Young and AtfracfiUe
National Hygienic Review.l

N1Nd1AOuoA KY 6iSuiS lNCvAS y" ~ ,sl5
The way to ward off old age Is not
to fear 1t, not to allow ones self to
be oppressed by the dread of advanc-
ing years. Use only legitimate pre-.
ventives and avoid trying experiments
with preparations not Endorsed by
physicians. An entirely safe and very
effective way to keep the complexion
young looking and beautiful Is to APP
ply ordinary mercolized wax at bed
time, using it like cold cream, wash
ing it off in the morning. This gradu-
ally absorbs the withered. faded cuti-
Gle. which is replaced by the more
youthful, piIk-tinted underskin. One
ounce OF this wax, to be had at any
drug store, is enough to completely
rejuvenate worn-out complexion.
Wrinkles and flabbiness OF cheek
and chin, the first signs of advancing
age, may be lessened by simple.
harmless preparation made by dis
solving an ounce Of powdered saxo-
lie in half pint witch hazel It is
used as face bath.

Italy and France. The trip was
most enjoyable one in every particu-
lar and was full Of interesting incl
dents.
zone Of the happiest moments Of
the entire trip" said Colonel Meyer
last night, when when the towering
sky scrapers of New York came into
view. The scene on entering New
York harbor is one that makes every
American thrill with pride. and we
were very happy when we set foot on
American soil again."
When asked If any interest was be-
ing taken in the American political
situation abroad. Mr.. Meyer said that
at the time of the Chicago convention
much interest was shown, but that
since that time not much attention had
been paid to American politics.
On his arrival in New York Colonel
Meyer found himself In the hotbed of
politics. He found that Wilson was
the favorite in the betting OH Wall
street. His chief interest, however,
was in the Idaho situation and it was
with genuine relief that he learned
that the fight which was started
against Senator Borah had not as
sumed the proportions that We're once
threatened. Il consider that 1t would
be an everlasting disgrace to the state
of Idaho should Senator Borah be de-
scated,'' said CtNonel Meyer. His
wonderful record in the United States
senate should make his election unani-
nous. l am Republican and Taft
Republican, but it is matter Of no
lCnnqau1Iappa who Senator
Borah is for for president. He has
right to support whom he pleases
and l repeat that it would be shame
and disgrace to this state and to the
entire west to defeat him. l cannot
understand why there should be oppo-
sition. after the great work he has
done for Idaho"
Colonel Meyer grew very emphatic
in his declaration for Senator Borah
and left no doubt as to his position.
