MAN LOOKED WHILE cLiNcINo

Why Reptile RefrsIned From strik.
Ing 10 Something Of a Mystery,
Though its preearious POSI-
ton May Explain u.

There is a saying down on the broad
Moiave desert, where the burning
sands conceal many dangers. that no
true son OF the greasewood wastes
viii pass up a rattler Strong as is
the lure OF gold which so irresistibly
holds the prospector on his search,
there is none who will not stop an
hour or half a day to kill the deadly
foe OF the gold hunter.
There Is a story which will bear
telling and 1t Is comparatively new.
II happened in San Bernardino coun.
ty. The man to whom the experience
came is noted the desert over for his
truthfulness. He has been bitten twice.
His name Is George Branch. Quiet,
unassuming. with laugh at what he
termed a Joke on the snake. he told
the story on a recent trip to San Fran.
cisco:
i was hiking along with Jack and
Jennie and Joe, my three burros, when
! ran across an outcropplng that looked
good and In country | knew was
among the best there Is on the desert.
SO we four struck camp right there and
| began sinking a shaft to get a look
at the inside.
Il had little timber. but managed
to get enough over to the workings
TO put down a good ladder and keep
the SHAFT open. The grub ran short
and had to hit the trail back FOR
more. II took about a week. When |
returned | started down in the mine to
do a half day shift. hitting into camp a
little before noon. ] wasn't paying
much attention to anything except get.
ting down the ladder. My candle shed
pretty small light for all the dark.
ness at the bottom OF the hole.
i was passing the last set OF tim.
oers and when they we're opposite my
shoulder ! flashed my candle 10 the
LEFT to see II there was any sign OF
settling. Just as was turning around
to look on the other side I heard
about three inches from my ear. the
buzz OF a RATHER.
IL sounded more like a bell rattle
than ever heard them before. II was
so close II almost scared me into los.
Ing my grip on the ladder. In the
half second | stayed there | saw ev.
cry scale on the snake and his wicked
little eyes and his fangs and darting
tongue. Maybe II was the light OF the
candle that confronted him and may.
be IL was something else that kept him
from striking. But all that lad would
have had TO do was to reach out a
couple Of inches TO get me on the
cheek and I would have had no chance
TO stop the poison from doing its
work
i asked a college professor after.
ward Just how he thought I did II. I
don't remember But In about two
skips of flea I was out on the sur
face and listening to the rattler buzz
away down in the shaft The pro-
fessor said there was something that
always made a man in an emergency
DO Just the right thing.
4 got a stick and poked him OF the
timber and killed him by dropping
'ocks into the shaft. He was four
eet long and had sixteen rattles. He
lad slid down the incline OF the shaft

He has been surprised to learn that
in the last 30 years savings in Italy
have more than quadrupled. having

thrift are the ordinary savings banks.

BREEDING FOR THE FUTURE
Industrial Type Of Horses viii Be In
Demand at the Conclusion
Of the War.

The American farmer who seeks to
take advantage OF the horse famine
now being made by krupp and Creu-
sot guns should dismiss all thought
OF supplying the armies now in the
field. In all probability the war will
be over before his first foals are
weaned. What he should DO is breed
Industrial types Of horses to all the
gaps made by the present war. with
perhaps a small percentage OF the
type OF horses actually preferred for
military use.
Wars may not cease with the end
OF the present masterpiece OF deviltry.
but there is good reason to believe
that martial glory will be at a dis
count In Europe for many years tc
come. Let US get ready. therefore. to
supply the needs of peace. rather than
to satisfy the demands OF a Moloeh
who soon may be hurled from his
throne.
