Snakes FIGHT to the Death.

One OF the jungle secrets is the
cause of deadly enmity that exists be-
tween the "tomiga" and the black
snake. o. E. Malsbury. engineer in
charge of land surveys at Panama, de-
scribes a fight he saw between two of
these. While cutting trench along
the edge of swamp his machete men
ran across "tomiga" whose head was
sticking out of pile of leaves. One OF
the men cut the head off and pulled
the body out to see why the snake
had not made an effort to get away.
Half way down the body was black
snake coiled and biting savagely.
The blacksnake was driven off, but re-
mained near and twice came into the
open and bit savagely at the dead
'tomiga."
Owing to its peculiar actions no ef-
fort was made 20 kill the blacksnake.
but the men continued their cutting
for an hour or so longer. Then they
returned to the spot and found the
body of the "tomiga' enfolded by
that of the blacksnake. which also was
dead. 1t had been bitten about mid
way between lead and tail and its
body was swollen. 1t was concluded
that the "tomiga" had started the fight
by biting the blacksnake. which got
hold Of its enemy before 1t could coil
n p in for another attack.

MOTHERS EMOTIONS"
Good for Young People to Follow.

My little grandson often comes up
to show me how large the muscles of
his arms are.
He was delicate child, but has de-
veloped into a strong, healthy boy and
Postum has been the principal factor.
81 was induced to give him the Post
um because of my own experience
with it.
Il am sixty years old. and have been
a victim of nervous dyspepsia for
many years. Have tried all sorts of
medicines and had treatment from
many physicians, but no permanent re-
lief came.
II used to read the Postum adver-
tisements in our paper. AT first gave
but little attention to them, but finally
something in one of the advertise
ments made me conclude to try Pos
tum.
Il was very particular to have 1t
prepared strictly according to direc-
lions. and used good, rich cream. 1t
was very nice indeed, and about bed
time said to the members of the fam
lily that believed l felt better. One
of them laughed and said, That's an
other of mothers notions but the no.
tion has not left me yet.
II continued to improve right along
after leaving of coffee and taking
Postum. and now after three years
use | feel SO well that l am almost
young again. know Postum was the
cause of the change in my health and
l cannot say too much in its favor.
wish l could persuade all nervous peo-
pie to use it."
Name given by Postum Co, Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum cereaI-the original form
must be well boiled. 15c and Csc pack
ages.
Instant Postum soluble powder
dissolves quickly in cup of hot water,
and, with cream and sugar, makes a
delicious beverage instantly. 30c and
SOC tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious and

cbiId,s Marrow Escape.

Snake stories SO frequently degen-
crate into mere fabrications that a
serious chronicler hesitates to tell Of
an incident such as that which w. F.
Boyer, lighthouse engineer, witnessed
on the Sirio river. near Panama. The
river had been swollen by the first
heavy rains and at its junction with
the Trinidad was very swift. Five
men and a child came down to the
ford at Largatera and prepared to
get into n cayuco for crossing. The
river looked so treacherous, however.
that they decided to make the cross
ing in parties of three.
One man, the child, boy of four
years. and the paddle man got into
the canoe and put off. The first eddy
caught them when they were not
25 feet from shore and upset
their boat AS they struck the water
a huge boa dropped from limb over
hanging the water. coiled itself
around the child and started for shore.
1t glided up the steep bank and made
Cor the Jungle. The child's body
caught between two stalks of bamboo
and while the snake was trying to
pull itself through the man on the
bank ran up and killed it. Two
bright welts around the body of the
child are the only injury he sustained.
@iatun lake now covers an area OF
about fifty square miles. At its final
height of S5 feet, which 1t will
attain about Nov. /, it will cover l64
square miles.

THE SOCIAL LIFE OF BUSINESS

Business, while often hard and even
cruel, does not refuse to consider the
human side of life.
Thousands of captains of industries
and merchant princes recognize the
needs OF man as well as those OF
trade. and encourage many forms OF
social intercourse among their en-
ployes. including the establishment OF
libraries. reading rooms. gymnasiums.
and the organization of athletic and
other societies.
Exhaustive experiment has shown
that healthy social life can be added
to business without detriment to hnan-
cial profit, and that the more en-
ployees get together, play together as
we'll as work together. the more efi-
cient they are likely to be.
Workers of the same grade natural
Iy have much in common, and there Is
no reason why they should not enjoy
one another's company in business
and out Of 1t. why they should not
have q common business interest and
a social acquaintanceship and friend
ship.
OF course, business must be at
tended to. and any social life which
interferes with the conduct of busi-
ness cannot very well be tolerated, but
there are forms of sociability which
the well-regulated store or factory
should recognize, and many of them
do.
Fellow employees should be friends
as well as business associates. They
should enjoy one anothers company
at work as well as out of hours.
A hearty Good morning" an ex-
change Of smiles, pleasant Joke. a
kind word. even during the heat OF
business, helps to bring the strenu-
BUSINESS of work to livable level
and assists rather than retards the
action of business.
Get acquainted with your fellow
clerks. Know something of their per-
sonal life, as well as of their business.
Organize ball teams. associations for
business and social betterment. Con-
meet with the employees of similar in
stitutions. Intermingle and inter
change.
The greatest business men in the
world are members of boards of trade.
chambers of commerce, and other or
ganiZations. They lunch together un-
afraid of competition. Their princi-
pies should be emulated by the EN-
ployees, who. collectively, are as
strong factor in success as are those
who command them.
Let your wife come into this So
cial and business life. If she will.
Do not draw too sharp line be-
tween business and family.
Pass along the good things you have
to others, and they will reciprocate.
The more you get together, the
greater will be your accomplishment.
Remember that you alone amount
to very little. that you as part OF
a composite mass may hold great re-
sponsibility.
