The religious sect known as the

some meetings at their tent in
Cleveland, Tenn, recently of an
unusually interesting character.

During the past ten days they
have had on display at their
meetings a number of snakes
"highland moccaslns" and have
been tossing the reptiles abont
from one to another with seeming
impunity. Several reliable per-
sons testify that the snakes bit
one or two of the leaders several
times, and people have been wait.

Mayor of Bird Land.

The Lizard Canary is one Of the
most unique varieties in the cage
bird world. Its beautiful ground
color, so nicely licked. and pretty
little "cap" make it a thing of
beauty and joy forever. 1t is,
howe yer, the only, VARIETY that
mouths out its plumage at the end
of the first season. BY this it is
meant that, although the bird
possesses so beautiful a coat for
the first year, the plumage disap-
pears altogether at the second
monlt.
Thus it is a show bird for only
one-i. e., the first-season and
this is considered a drawback to
Its popularity. On account of its
wearing such guy apparel for one
year and then putting it aside the
lizard has been apply termed
"Mayor of Birdie Land,
The little story connected with
the Lizard and a Mayor is we'll
worth repeating. 1t was at a we'll
known cage bird show being open
ed by Sir William Treloar, then
lord mayor of London, that this
celebrity in few we'll chosen
words likened himself unto the
lizard canary many grand speci-
mems of which were on view at
the show. The stately robes he
then were only for a reason. Such
is the case with the lizard.-Bos-
ton Herald.

Much Mixup in this Story.

This is stray story that comes
from Luxembourg, st. Louis coun-
ty, and which deals with a pussy
cat and biddy hen, saws the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. If you
have any doubt about it's truth
ask Louis Walther, who lives on
the Lamay Ferry road, just
south of the southern st. Louis
limits.
Louis declares that he has a cat
which Matched out six Plymouth
Rock chicks and refused to deliv-
er them to the mother hen after
the birds were born. Jealous,
Louis claims, of the cats affec-
tions for what should have been
her own brood, biddy hen kid
mapped three kittens which had
been neglected in the interest of
the chicks.
Here is the way Louis says it
happened: He had a hen hatch
ing eggs in a sheltered corner of
the fence. Then the hen became
neglectful of her duty or the cat
scared her away, which, he will
not undertake to say. Anyhow,
the cat and her kittens took po-
session of the hens nest and were
there when the shells were crack
ed.
When the chickens came the
kittens were neglected to such an
extent they wandered away and
were finally adopted by the child
less hen.

Apply Sloan's Freely for Lumbago

Apply Sloan's Freely for Lumbago
Your attacks of Lumbago are
not nearly so hopeless as they
seem. You can relieve them 81
most instantly by a simple appli-
cation of Sloan's Llnement on the
back and loins. Lumbago is a
form of rheumatism, and yields
perfectly to Sloan's which pene-
trates quickly all in through the
sore, tender muscles, limbers mp
the back and makes it feel fine.
Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment
for 25 cents of any druggist and
have it in the house-against
colds, sore and swollen joints,
rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica
and like ailments Your money
back if not satisfied, bnt 1T does
give almost instant relief.

ing and watching to see what the
effect would be, but SO far moth
ing serious has been heard from
anyone bitten by the snakes.
But the practice of allowing
snakes to bite them to prove the
power of God is regarded by the
more intelligest class as the height
of presumption and fanaticism.
The same leaders believe also in
divine healing, without doctors or
medicine. The snakes at the
meeting have created quite an
excitement among certain classes.

WASTED 4 SUMMERS WORK
Comb. ...!tion cX Small Boy and Goat
Made Much Trouble for
Great Sculptor.

Among other stories in the charm.
ing "Reminiscences of Augustus
Saint Gaudens" by father and son is
a confession by the son. When he
was boy in Cornish, he had a pet
goat, which he had trained to play
bntting game. The goat would
butt, Homer would dodge, and then,
to his great glee, the goat would butt
the wrong thing or the air. One day
at dinner time, when the studio barn
was deserted, Homer was playing
i'is game. Beyond the open barn
door stood the wax model of the Lo-
gan horse, "waiting to be cast in
plaster" This time, when Homer
lodged, the goat butted the back of
the horse. But since it did not fall
or break, the relieved child thought
it wasn't hurt, and didn't tell. Be.
fore anyone yoticed that ''the real
of the animal was strangely askew,"
the horse had been cast in plaster
and the enlargement begun. This
meant the loss o. a whole summers
work-jus@ one more of the acci-
dents and errors that increased the
'toughness of the sculptor's life"

TAKING CARE OF THERMOMETER

A philanthropic doctor in a min
ing town gave new thermometers to
a number of families, with the ur-
gent advice to keep their houses at
a proper temperature. When he was
making his rounds one day he saw
one of the thermometers hanging up.
He asked the woman of the house if
she remembered his instructions.
"Indeed, sir, ! do" was the response.
81 hang the thing up there. and l
watch it carefully to see it does not
get too high" "Good ~ exclaimed
the doctor. "And what do you do
when the temperature rises above
70 degrees?" "Why, SIR" answered
the woman, with the air of one faith
full to trust, ''when it gets too high
/ take it down and put it outside
until it cools.'

TAUGHT HIM NEEDED LESSON
Value Of Perseverance, Impressed on
Spanish Boy In Manner That
Made Right impression.

There is a medieval legend of a
Spanish boy who was dull at school
and who was so much discouraged
by the severity of his teachers that
he ran away from home. After he
had wandered a long way he was
tired and sat down to rest on the
margin of WELL As he sat there
his eye fell upon the stone well curb
and he began to wonder how it hap
pened that there was deep groove
across the stone. He asked an ex-
planation of a girl who came to
draw water, and was amazed to learn
that the groove had not been cut in
the stone by men, but had been worn
there by the constant rubbing of the
rope which held the water bucket.
The little circumstance sank deep
into his mind. He argued that if
soft rope by daily use could force
its way through hard stone, then
there was nothing that could not be
accomplished by perseverance, and
he learned his first lesson in the
meaning and value of mental disci-
pline. He returned to his fathers
house and to the school from which
he had fled, and proved the same
truth in his own case, for he not
only passed through the school with
credit, but became a great teacher
and preacher.
Some Of us are quicker than 9TH
ers, but not always is mere quickness
a sign of superiority. Slow, plodding
perseverance will often outdo quick
ness that is easily discouraged.

KINDS words

They never blister the tongue nor
lips and we have never heard of any
mental trouble arising from this quar-
ter. Though they do not cost much,
they help ones good nature and good
will Soft words soften our own soul.
Angry words are fuel to the flames of
wrath, and make it burn more fiercely.
Kind words make other people
good natured. Cold words freeze
people, and hot words scorch them,
and bitter words make them Bit
ter and wrathful words make them
wrathiul. There is such a rush of all
other kind of words in our days that
it seems desirable to give kind words
a chance among them. There are
vain words, and idle words, and has
ty words, and empty words, and bois-
ferrous words, and warlike words.
Kind words also produce their own
image in mems souls. And beaui-
full image it is. They sooth and quiet
and comfort the hearer. They shame
him out of his sour, morose, unkinh
feelings. We have not yet begun to
use kind words in such abundance as
they ought to- be used,--Ex.

to Henry W. Hodge, consulting en-
