PEDRO THE SNAKE IS SURE
HAVING Time OF HIS LIFE

Snake stories have become frequent
in the Portland papers since the ar
rival of Pedro" the reptile found in
the possession of ]. b. Hoover, alleg-
ed white SLAYER when he was arrested
here recently by the local police. For
a week Pedro" lay peacefully In a
box at the local police station bus
when Hoover and Nellie Wren were
taken to Portland by federal officials
the snake was sent along. The fol-
lowing Is the latest story inspired Dy
him. appearing in the columns of tie
Journal yesterday.
w. l. Brewster, commissioner OF
public affairs, this morning notified
United tSates Marshal John Montag
that the city could not care FOR "Pe-
dro,'- the huge snake that Is a
government prisoner" because Its
owner, Nellie Wren, a detained gov
ernment witness. will not part with It
Marshal Montag has been urging Mr.
Brewster to accept the reptile In the
name of the city as either a present
or boarder, but on the advice Of
Park Superintendent Mische, Mr.
Brewster shortly before noon tolt
Montag that the accommodation coul,
not be extended.
/ Montag's idea was to have the snake
kept up at the City Park zoo. A
present two small snakes are kept II
the bird cages for the purpose Of eat
ing insects. But Mische is said t
have a natural aversion to snakes
and anyway, he knows OF the proper,
sity OF bull snakes fo- "''"b bing tres
and eating birds.
In the meantime Pedro" Is beinl
made much of In the government Of
flee where It is kept In a box along
side radiator. Yesterday he consum
4 ed two eggs. and drank cup of wa
ter. and whenever he gets out
which is quite frequently he glides al
over the floor. He likes to have nj
head and back scratched.
To everyone who comes into the Of
flee the reptile is exhibited.
The serpent will have to be kept 81,
weeks or two months. He is appar
entity harmless.

Two notable and interesting pre-
dictions are indicated rather than
made in the report. One Is that the
time Is not far distant when coal OF

transportation will be converted into

and widely distributed for lighting,

But His Methods Were Bad, and
Then Loves Young Dream
Comes True.
BY SELMA ELIZABETH HIGGINS.

BY SELMA ELIZABETH HIGGINS.
Don't stand in your W light, Hill
da. Mr.. Armitage is a rising man of
business, and many a girl would con-
slider herself lucky to receive the at
tentions he has shown you."'
Mother, his attentions are more
than distasteful to me. | cannot bear
to even have him speak to me-"
There are a good many reasons
why you should encourage him." de-
clared Hilda Mason's stepmother.
The girls lips closed tightly. A wor-
ried, anxious look came over her face.
She put on her wraps and left her
humble home for her daily work.
The worldly advice of her stepmoth-
er had made little impression upon
Hilda. MI. James Armitage was prac-
tically her employer. He was in full
charge of the silk factory of Meserve
& Co, one of several operated by that
wealthy firm. Hilda's father had been
engineer of the plant half his life time.
Her brother, Bob, was in charge of the
shipping room. A smaller brother was
errand boy in the office. Hilda had
light agreeable work in the sample de-
partment.
1t was only recently that the Masons
had felt that prospects were brighten
ing for them. A strike, sickness, the
failure of a bank carrying away their
savings, had brought about a hard ex-
perience. Now, with all hands at
work, the future looked encouraging.
Armitage had come to the plant
about a year previous. From the first
Hilda had felt repealed by him. He
had a hard, cynical face. He was pitt
less in his exactions with the workers.
He was a widower, and Hilda had
heard that his wife had died Of a
broken heart.
Armitage had seemed to take a
fancy to Hilda, as the thoughtless Mrs.
Mason put it in her shallow way.
When on two occasions recently he
had asked permission to take Hilda to
places of entertainment, she had not
enjoyed his company, and vas glad to
get home again.
Il wouldn't wipe my shoes on the
wretch" a discharged office girl told
Hilda, meeting her on the street. He

Improving Under Difficulties.

Few cities are doing as much build
ing as Buenos Aires, easily the largest
center Of population south Of the
equator and the fourth city Of the
western hemisphere, but such work
goes on under difficulties in that part
of South America. The iron, steel
and cement are imported. chiefly from
England, Germany and France, with
some from the United States. The
pine and spruce lumber used comes
from this country and Canada. Sand
is brought across the wide estuary Of
the La Plata from Uruguay, because
it is very scarce in Argentia. Some
times bricks are ground up and used
as q substitute for sand. Tiles for
floors and roofs are imported from
France and Belgium. Most Of the
plumbing and builders hardware
comes from Great Britain, a little be-
ing imported from the United States.
And thousands of buildings sre rushed
up every year in a booming city
under these conditions.

Turkey Suffer.

These scratches on my face" he
said. don't indicate that l am I'M
happily married. They indicate that l
am a turkey suffer.
High grade turkeys are brought
up to the proper degree of corpu-
lence by hand stufing. That Is where
I come in. With a short cane | stuff
their food down their threats twice
daily. They object to this. They ex-
p~ostulate with beak and claw. Hence
these scratches.
What do we stuff our high grade
turkeys with? Well, their morning
meal is ground pea -four and olive
oil. Their evening meal is wheat
boiled in milk. Sometimes, for a
prominent millionaire, we stuff our
turkeys exclusively with chestnuts
boiled in milk. You'd hardly believe
what a delicious nutty flavor this
gives.
"But it's hard work, the work of q
turkey suffer. Your assistant holds
the birds legs; you hold Its head
with one hand while you thrust the
food into its mouth with the other,
and then you shove the bolus down
where 1t belongs with q short cane.
The turkey gives you many a nip.

feeding. A turkey suffers job Is no

A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
will Help Other Women.

Hines, Ala.-"T must confess, says
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, "that
Cardui, the woman's tonic, has done me
a great deal Of good.
Before | commenced using Cardui, ]
would spit up everything | ate. had a
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con-
tinuously.
Since taking Cardui, ! have entirely
quit splitting up what | eat. Everything
seems to digest all right, and ! have
gained 10 pounds in weight"
If you are a victim Of any Of the numer-
Gus ills so common to your sex. it IS
wrong to suffer-.
For half a century, Cardui has been re-
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands OF letters, similar to the above,
which pour into VI Office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is COM
posed OF ingredients which ~actspecifically
on the womanly constitution. and helps
build the weakened organs back to health
and strength.
Cardui has helped others, and will help
you, too. Get a bottle today. You
won't regret it. Your druggist sells it.

girls despise him. One good thing
he won't be here long"
"Why not?" asked Hilda.
II shan't tell you, but you'll see. I
do hope you are not falling in love
with him"
Hilda protested Indignantly. She
evaded Armitage, and twice when he
called managed to be out of the way.
Hence her stepmother's advice.
A new interest came into the life OF
Hilda one day. Armitage passed
through the sample department accom-
panied by a bright-faced athletic young
man. The latter seemed interested In
everything he saw. Something about
the neat graceful Hilda held his
glance. She noticed 1t and flushed,
but his look was so pleasant she could
not feel offended.
"He is a Mr.. Harold Macy" q Come
panion told Hilda. "He has come we'll
recommended to Mr.. Armitage. and IL
going to be a kind Of an overseer.""
Armitage was absent for several
days inspecting another mill. 1t vas a
happy. week for Hilda. The new en-
ploye passed through her department
frequently. From the first he had y
pleasant word for her. Then he began
to question her about her work and its
details. One evening he was strolling
past her home when he met her. There
was a band concert going on In the
public square. The young man asked
for her company there. Both enjoyed
the concert
Mrs. Mason gave Hilda q great lee
ture when she got home. Spelling her
chances" "out Of respect for Mr.. Arm
itage," were some Of the pointed
phrases she used. But Hilda could not
help thinking of the manly young fell
low whose bright natural ways had
opened q new chapter in the book Of
her young life.
A few evenings later young Macy
called at the Mason home. But for the
glum looks Of Mrs. Mason, it was q
second happy occasion for Hilda. It
made her happier still when she
fancied she noted something In his
eyes. that told he was thinking of her
with a warmer sentiment than Of sim
