confessed his ignorance, and the other
settled back in his chair and lighted
a fresh cigar.
"Ill tell you about him, then. You
know that snake is a queer propo-
sition in a menagerie. They get sore
mouths-canker, the takers call it
and won't eat, and then. IL you've got
any investment in 'em you want to get
it out mighty quick, for they are no

when guy named Merritt came to me
and said he could get a fine snake
cheap. and he thought we might make
some money out of him by showing
him at the county fairs.
What didn't know about snakes
would have filled a book. but when
saw this one I knew 1t was a bargain.
1t was the blamedest, biggest snake
that ever gave a wriggle, and the only
reason its owners had not made a for

how much he weighed and how long
he was, but my brain got SO tired fig

He pointed to large yellow diamond
in his scarf. and the Stranger tried to
make mental calculation of the pawn
brokers' valuation of 1t.

mazuma, and we Clipped in fifty

LIBERALS gain
A BIG VICTORY
Constitutionalist Branch of Ger
man Government Gains Since
Zabern Incident.
(By Associated Press.)

Berlin, May 12-The general indig-
nation in Germany over the Zabern
affair of last fall has finally borne
fruit in the shape of new regula-
ton governing the conduct of mill
tary forces in case of internal disor
ders
New Regulations.
The regulation, which has already
received the approval of the emper-
or, does away with the famous cab
met order Of 1920, under which Colo
mel Won Reuter- justified his interven-
ton in local affairs and his imprison-
ment OF Zabern citizens. This an
cient order provided that if the COM
mander Of troops decides, according
to duty and conscience, that the civil
authorities are delaying too long their
requisition for troops, in view of the
fact that they are no longer able to
restore order, it is his duty and his
right to intervene without the requi.
sition of the civil authorities, and to
assume command, and the civil au-
thorities." must obey his orders. !<
Il The new regulation provides that the
military forces may not intervene with
out requisition except Sin cases of
pressing danger for the public secur-
ity when the civil authorities, as a
result Of uncomfortable circumstance
es, are not in position to issue the
requisitiol. In other words, so long
as the civil authorities are still in pow
er, troops may not intervene without
a direct request.
Liberals Claim Victory.
The liberal press is inclined to con-
slider the regulation a decided victory
for constitutionalism. 1t regrets,
however, that such an important regu>
lation, affecting the rights of all citi-
zens, cal still be made in Germany
without consulting the Reichstag, and
is somewhat disquieted over new
provision covering the cases in which
a soldier may make use of his weap-
ons. TO cases where life, limb or
property is threatened by an unlaw-
full attack are added cases of ian at
tack upon honor" This is a most
elastic problem, and critics of the
new order recall that Lieutenant Won.
Fornster justified his sabering of a
lame shoemaker by declaring that he
acted in defense of his threatened
honor. ...
