Woman Fights Rattlesnakes

T rom tHe NtW 1Ork oun.
 Sierre Madre, Cal.--Mrs. Robert T. West has no aversion for snakes and evidently knows how to dispatch them. Although small in stature, light of frame. petite and girlish. she is nor lacking in courage, coolness and ability to kill.
 Traversing the canyons back of the sanitarium grounds in search of holly Mrs West stumbled into a nest of rat tlesnakes. Their hissing and move- ments in clump of bushes attracted her attention. Stepping back pace or two Mrs. West secured a stick and poked the place whence she noticed the commotion.
 One large rattler emerged, followed by several of various sizes. The larger one coiled and missed. Mrs. West, clutching her stick tightly, made a vicious swing at its head. Her aim was good as the snake lay squirming in the open. Quickly stepping upon it's body with one foot Mrs. West crushed It's head with her stick. Then she turned her attention to the smaller ones.
 After the battle five medium sized rattlers lay dead on the ground, also one monster. The larger one she carried home as a trophy. It measured three feet in length and about two inches tn circumference.

WIDE DECLINE IS
 BROUGHT ABOUT Cotton Closes at New Or leans From "A to 27
 Points Off

New Orleans, February 2S--Cotton was under pressure throughout today's ses- sion, and the widest decline in several weeks was brought about. The close was at the lowest, a net decline of "A to 27 points. Selling was inspired by fear that England would put cotton on the contra band list, and was about equally divided between the two accounts. Spot houses, exporters, houses which operate for Ger man spinners and spot merchants, and srec'llst tors bearishly inclined all com bined to bring about large volume of selling orders. At times the market was soft
 Fear that the situation abroad would materially check the outward movement of the crop was the dominating influence of the day. The enormous amount of cot ton af1oat for Europe, 1.300000 bales last Friday, the large amount of cotton at ports awaiting shipment and the heavy forward engagements for export made the question of the next move by the bel ligerents important.
 Exports over the holidays carried the total for the cea son over the 5,0OO,0O0 mark, the figures tonight being 5,043,S24 bales. Bears predicted cancellation of export en- agreements should the present situation continue.

said unto Samuel, Cease not to cry unto Jehovah our God for us. that He saw us out of the hand of the Philstines. This cry. coming after they had aban- doned their idols and had vowed to bs loyal 10 Jehovah, put them Into a very different attitude toward Him from that of 20 years previous, when they called for the ark of God to lead them against the Philistines without repentance for sins.
 Is there not lesson here for all Gods people-that it is vain for them to call upon the Lord for assistance while they are living in sin, in violation of their covenant oblisations2 The first lesson. then, for those who realize their being in sin Is repentance and definite vows to the Lord respecting faithfuiness in pc tition to Him for mercy. Those who tfis come to God now, as Christians. under the headship of our Lord Jesus Ghr.st sure te have divine mercy and grace to help iu every tim Of need.'
 Our 'Philstinea are our passions and weaknesses, and the oppositions of the world and the adversary. Against these only divine power can enable us to come off victorious.
 In response to the peoples cry. Samuel the prophet offered to the Lord q lamb of the first year He knew 1t not but 1t was a type of the Lamb of God. which taketh away the sin of the world Then Samuel cried to the Lord on behalf of his people, and the Lord heard him. So With all that stand beside the great Antitypieal sacrifice in the merit of that sacrifice. as people in covenant relation ship with God-having put away sins and weaknesses to the best of our ability, We may be sure of divine help, deliverance.
 While yet the offering was upon the altar. the noise of the approaching Phils- tnes was heard. How could they hope for dellverance from these hosts9 Would Gods power be manifest The deliver auce came In the shape of violent storm. which swept down the hill AIzpeh into the faces of the approaching hosts. They turred their backs against the storm. and the Israelites, perceiving the oppor- tunity. pursued them. and gained great victory on the very spot where, 20 years before. the Pltilistines had captured the ark of God.
 Samuel thero set stone as pillar and monument, and called it Ebenezer, say ing Hitherto hath the Lord helped us So Christians in their victories under the Lords assistance should set up memorials or monuments in their minds and hearts and not pass these blessings by
 The prophet Samuel established a new ol ger, the outgrowth of his reformation work amongst his nation. Instead of having his place of residence. to which the people must go to ask counsel, he in troduced the circuit system, and went from place to place holding court not so much to condemn any, rather to advise those who desired advice, Thus Israel began to hae cemented aseHne people and to realize that all their interests were bound up with God His law, His cove nant with them, and the interpretation of these through such agents as the Lord might send--Samuel the prophet being one of ttese.
