Snakes Fond Of Muslc,

Science has recently been studying
the question as to whether or not
snakes have an appreciation of music.
This applies particularly to the cobra.
which responds to the piping OF q
gouru instrument played by the East
India fakir with a rhythmic movement
suggesting q dance. The conclusion
seem to be that 1t answers to the
musical notes much in the same way
as a dog does-that IL to say, through
q special or rvo sympathy. When
the Whistles blow at noon in the Brons
zoo the wolves set up q great howl
ing In concert. Whether or not they
enjoy this sort Of music is disputed
though probably they do, for som
dogs undoubtedly take pleasure In har.
monious strains and will run a block
to sit IL front of q hand organ and
sing" while Other dogs u%nquestion.
ably suffer from certain kinds Of
music, and express their pain IN lugu,
brious howls.

the number of shoes he makes-an

That is a fair arrangement. some OF
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little rel

we treat all manufacturers alike no

Overnight Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and
HaDDv bv Morning

It is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most gen.
eral, and so we have a whole nation
suffering from constipation and 1ndl-
gestion, for they are closely allied. But
common as constipation is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they nave
it. They will complain of headache,
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
scious of the cause of the trouble.
You should nave a full n free
movement at least once a day. If you
pass a day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily OF have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any inconvenience.
Legions of people use it regularly in
such emergencies, some Of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives

EXQUISITE Agony.

1T was, to say the least OF 1t, a
London letter remarks, Just a little
bit awkward that the electric hght
went out the other evening at the
town house of a presumably wealthy
widow who had been doing a good
deal of political entertaining. The
guests, to the number of a dozen, had
just finished their soup when the I'M
fortunate incident occurred. Inc
scramble to find a sufficient number
of candles so hat the Inner might
proceed was attended with a great
deal of diff and no little amuse-
ment. The butler, who is described
as being a bit new to his job, was m
mediateiy told to telephone to the
electric company, report the catastro'
phe and demand attention to the mat
ter. 1t was a trying moment for the
guests when he returned to the din
ing room and announced ia real Cock

LOOKING for Owner Of Fingers.

A farmer near Kansas City. Mo-,
is looking for the owner of a couple
of fingers he has in his possession.
He went to market with a load Of
potatoes and started to sleep In his
during the night before market
opened. He was disturbed by the
moving of the canvas over the load
and, waking. saw a hand slip beneath
the canvas and abstract a couple Of
the tubers. The operation was re-
peated so many times that he could
foresee nothing but the disappearance
Of the entire load unless he took sum-
mary action. Raising q sharp Ratchet
he had with him, the farmer smote
the hand the next time 1t appeared
and the next morning found two
guilty fingers in the wagon. The re-
mainder OF his potatoes were not
molested.

Cricket was introduced into a GER

from England, who hoped that the
game would foster a manly spirit. All
went well, according to the author OF
"a Little Tour in India" the boys be-
came keen and a match was arranged
with a neighboring school. Then the
clergyman gave his team Is rupees
($4.S0) to spend ION new bats, or
whatever would be most useful"
When the day came, the team turned
out for the match full of quiet conf
dence, but with all their old accouter-
ments. why" asked the padre, what
have you done with those Is rupees
I gave you?" We'll, sir" said the
captain, I'VE thought it best to spend
it all on the umpire" They won.

There was a long thoughtful silence,

He strobe over to the door, without
