AN UGLY VISITOR.
His unwsieems Call Brought About .
Dramatic Situation.

His unwsleoms Call Brought About .
Dramatic Situation.
The London representative Of an
East Indian firm was working late at
the warehouse. A large consignment
of goods. newly arrived. lay in the
room that adjoined his office. The
room was simple affair Of ttnr chart
covered walls. There was n desk in
the middle. few chairs. and u large
hreproof safe. 1t was nearly midnight,
when n sound from the next room in
duced the man to go to the door to in
ves.igate. Nothing seemed wrong and
be returned to his work, but left the
door ajar
Presently faint. harsh sound came
from the next room. He sprang up to
behold the head of snake protruding
through the doorway.
When the reptile saw him it stopped
for second. renred its head until It
was almost on level with the mans
and began to dart its tongue angrily
in and ont of its mouth.
No novelist ever imagined more
desperate situation. The man was un-
irmed and apparently without means
of escape. The moment he withdrew
his eyes from those of the snake, 1t
lowered its head and moved toward
him.
But he had already determined on
his course. The great safe stood open.
He sprang into 1t and closed the door
behind him. although he did not shut
It completely. That would have meant
slow but certain suffOcation. He
slipped small cashbook into the aper-
ture and held the ponderous door open
about half an inch.
Meanwhile the python-for such 1t
was-in pnroxysm Of fury. had hung
Its coils twice round the safe. which
stood some distance out from the wall.
The creature drew its coils to the ut
most tension In an angry effort to
crush the iron safe.
BY an effort the desperate prisoner
collected his wits. He remembered
that case. slightly damaged md
marked. "to be kept in moderately
warm place." had been put In the ad-
Joining room. and doubtless accounted
for his horrible visitor. But the ex-
PLANTATION, although simple, offered NO
consolation. Something must be done.
The captive racked his brain sorely
until an idea struck him. Earlier in the
evening he had put one Of the ledgers
In the safe with a long. black eraser
inside to mark special entry.
Cramped and almost doubled rs he
was. he found 1t no easy matter to
reach the slender weapon. the blade of
which was as sharp as n razor. TAX
Ing his courage in both hands he
plunged the knife again and again into
the folds of the snake, where they
crossed the small aperture. There fol
lowed horrible. tearing sound. and
the massive safe rocked ominously for
some moments. Then suddenly the
folds seemed to relax and go writhing
to the floor.
Owing to the extreme tension Of the
coils the keen blade had almost sev-
cred the body in half. From head to
tail 1t measured nearly forty feet.

57osAME OLD TooTHAcHE

Afellow, with raging tooth that
should be pulled, goes to dentist, at
last. AS the forceps approach his
mouth, he loses nerve and suggests
that the tooth might be filed. Then
dentist sees that the tooth ought to
come out but he sees that the Sub
iect" is ready to bolt for the door and,
rather than lose the case, he some
times fills some cavity in the tooth.
Such is the senate judiciary COM

mittee's attitude toward the Clayton
antitrust measure. The business
world is suffering to have the uncer-
tainty drawn: That committee pro-
poses to amend the Clayton measure
by providing a court Of review of
the trade commissions orders. I'm
der this amendment. a crooked cor
poration or firm can appeal to court
and, later, carry it's case to the
supreme court, which is always
years behind it's docket. In short,
much delay, much lawyers fees and
no final authority for the trade COM
mission-same infamous quackery
that didn't work in the case of Taft's
commerce court and the interstate
commerce commission. 1t would be
laughable, were it not for the great
waste.

o'HARA ON HARRISON

Lieut-Gov. O'Hara is having lot
of fun with Harrison and Sullivan at
the MONDAY meetings he's holding
at 208 w. Washington street.
Harrison he refers to as 'Old Nick
Carter"
"Old Nick Carter Harrison has
turend reformer, according to the
trust newspapers" said the Eeuten-
ant-governor.
He says that he won't allow vice
in Twenty-second street. How about
vice in the fashionable restaurants
that are owned by Mr.. Harrison's per-
sonal and political friends, woh fight
organized labor at every turn of the
road?"
O'Hara also accuses the newspaper
bosses of giving the silent treatment
to his candidacy because of the way
he showed Rosenwald and the State
street merchants up as payers Of
starvation wages.

5 RAILROAD STRIKE AUGUST 7?
Unless the railroad bosses are will
ing to strike the engineer and firemen
will call a strike of SO western rail-
roads August 7. This was the propo-
sition put up to the men.
The men are willing to accept the
mediation boards proposition for ar
bitration, but the bosses are now
wriggling out of it.
The men are asking the following:
Twenty per cent increase in wages.
Eight hours or less, 100 miles: or
less, a days work in freight service.
