Old Hook Nose
Mr.. Hightower spent last Friday
afternoon in Belleview, unloading
some machinery from the car on the
siding. Mr.. Hightower related how
old Hook Nose and his mate met
their end.
While a snake holds no terror for
the inhabitants of this marsh and
water-bound little kingdom, there
are exceptions TO all cases. For
years the denizens OF this little para
disc have paid toll to a pair of
enormous rattlesnakes, that defied
all efforts TO destroy them. Up and
down the length and breadth of this
island they travelled, exacting toll of
what came in their path, and that
toll usually was death. Sometimes
it would be a fine steer, found lying
with the telltale marks, and a wide
swath showing on the ground where
his snakeship had crawled away;
sometimes a kid would be missing, a
hen or some other dainty morsel, but
always the same telltale mark on
the ground, showing broad, creepy
track as wide as your two hands.
The wild game on the island suffer
ed heavily, frequent signs showing
where the reptiles had dined at the
expense of some living creature, and
all the while the hunt for them went
on undated. At times reports would
come in of some one catching sight
of one or the other of this pair of
reptiles, and it was always suppos-
ed that the person seeing the snake
had exaggerated the size through
( fear.
| One day week or so ago, as Mr..
/ Hightower was riding through the
lower end of the island in a dense
hammock his horse SHE'D, which was
something very unusual for him to
do, and there, just to one side of the
road, IN a shiny, shiny coil, with
head erect, swaying too and fro, was
one OF the largest rattlers that Mr..
Hightower had ever seen, and as
their eyes met, the RATHER filled the
air with his warning rattle. Mr.
Hightower wheeler his horse, gallop-
ed back Always, tethered his horse
and rushed back to give battle. The
reptile was ready for the fray, and
with springing and creeping. rapidly
/ decreased the distance in coiling fol
a leap. Mr.. Hightower took quick
aim with his pistol and handed Mr.
Snake piece of hot lead, and mo-
until he had coiled and sprung foul
times did he give up the fight, wher

To Get Bid Of BED Ants.

Red ants can make a house almost
uninhabitable. One can get rid of
them, however, if one knows how. The
first thing to do is to find the place
they come FROM. e., where their
nest is If it be in an accessible spot,
a little kerosene Will quickly stop the
trouble. On the other hand, if the
nest be in the wall or under the floor,
find the nearest accessible point, and
kill the insects of as they appear.

the rattler filled the air with his
deadly buzz and Mr. Baldorf shout

When Strengthened out he measured
seven feet, was four inches in diam

Mr.. Baldorf is used to snakes and
does not mind killing half a dozen

ACTION ON TOLLS
Administration Is Confident of
Passing Repeal Bill by Ma
jority of at Least is.

Word was passed today to Administra-
tion supporters in the Senate to be pre-
pared to force prompt action on the free
tolls repeal Sure Of a majority CT at
least sixteen votes. the Administration is
determined that the repeal shall be re-
ported out Of the Senate Committee on
InteroceaSic Canals, within a week.
Convinced that a majority Of this COM
Inittee, headed by Senator O'Gorrnan of
New York is opposed to the President,
the ultimatum has gone forth that. un-
less q report is forthcoming by the end
Of next week, the Administration Sena-
tors will take the bill out Of the ccm-
rnittee's hands. They are prepared to
carry the fight to finish.
Debate May Last Month.
That there will be long debate. last
ing. perhaps. a month, is expected. This
debate. It Is anticipated. will be sharper
even than that which characterized the
twenty-hour struggle in the House. The
President and his friends have cast the
political fortunes Of themselves and
their party in the balance. and are
prepared to abide by the result.
Senator Owen. Of Oklahoma, who will
be one OF the Administration leaders in
the fight. went to the White House
carly this morning. He took with him
a poll Of the Senate. which he made
last night at the close Of the fight in
the House. He declares it is based on
extreme conservatism, and gives the
President from fifty-eight TO sixty
votes. and the opposition thirty. with
the remaining six or eight doubtful.

from Oklahoma. climinA.s certain
Republicans, who last WEE were with
the President. but. realizing now the
political advantages to be obtained
from the Democratic split, are nom
committaL According to some of the
Republicans. however. it will be the
policy Of the minority party in the
Senate to hold of until tie split
among the Democrats is sufficiently
pronounced, and then give the Presi-
dent as large vote from their eide
as possible.
Wilson Is Urgent.
Some of the Presidents friends have
suggested to him the advisability OF
Dostponing further action on the repeal
measure until after the fall elections.
This suggestion the President has re-
Jected. He believes that whatever is
10 be done should be done promptly.
