Guest Thought He Had EN-.


James F. McGee, former cashier OF
the Crestwood bank of Louisville, KY,
got the scare of his life and suffered
a shock which necessitated calling a
physician when he found a six-foot
Georgia bull" snake crawling about
his room in a local hotel.
Thinking a friend was playing a
joke on him, McGee grabbed the
snake, when the reptile began to
show fight and put up hard battle.
Clerks and attaches of the hotel came
to his rescue.
A clerk at the hotel said the snake
belonged to a vaudeville performer
whose room was directly above that
of McGee's.

disc is taken overland or transshipped
in smaller boats for points farther up
the river. Although it is a river port,
over a thousand miles from the sea-
coast, the size and number of large
vessels at the dock, or at anchor
awaiting their turn to go to the docks,
and the many smaller craft, as well
as the large and commodious harbor,
give it much the appearance of sea-
port.

The Republic of Paraguay is al
most completely surrounded by wa
ter, being bounded on nearly all sides
by the great rivers Parana and Para
quay or their tributaries, which fur
nish transportation to many interior
parts of the country and provide
abundant irrigation and adequate
drainage. The soil is typically fer
tile, consisting for the most part Of
red clay mixed with sufficient sand
to make it porous, and covered with
rich alluvial deposits. The area Of
the country is estimated at about 17O,-
900 square miles, and it Is divided
into two parts by the Paraguay river.
The southeastern part, which Is in
closed by the rivers Paraguay, Parana,
and Apa, contains most Of the white
population. The northwestern part,
known as the Gran Chaco, is inhabited
mostly by nomadic tribes of Indians,
and contains vast expanses Of grazing
land and immense forests awaiting ex-
ploitation. The resources Of the
southeastern section alone, however,
are sufficient to engage the attention
Of the inhabitants for many years to
come. 1t is estimated that the coun-
try has about 100000 inhabitants,
and the government has been encour'

IN order to study the trade situation
in Paraguay, NJ. Drew Carrel, COM
mercial representative Of the
Buenos Aires branch Of a New
York bank, recently made a trip
through that country, and in The
Americas he writes entertainingly OF
what he saw there. His article is thus
summarized in the bulletin of the Pan
American Union:
The only practical routes of access
to the country, the heart of one of the
richest agricultural regions of South
America, are the river and the rail-
way running from Buenos Aires, a
thousand miles away if Asuncion, the
capital and chief city of the republic,
be taken as the travellers destination.
There is direct connection between
Buenos Aires, via the Argentine Cen
tral, Entre-Rios, and Paraguayan Cen
trail railways, and Asuncion. Through
trains leave once a week each way.
OF from Buenos Aires betimes, the
train arrives at Zarate early in the eve
ming, some sixty miles up country
where the expanse of the River Plate
has narrowed into the Parana. Here
all except the engine is run on to a
huge iron ferryboat for a four-hour
voyage up and across the river to
Ibicuy on the eastern shore. Nearly
all day Saturday is spent journeying
through the fiat country of Entre-Rios
The orange groves increase, with here
and there tobacco fields, giving way
as the tropics are neared to numerous
royal palm trees.
Posadas, the last station in Argen-
tina, is reached and the train is again
run upon a large ferryboat and car
ried across the upper part ofthe Parana
river to Encarnacion in the Republic
of Paraguay. The level of the deck Of
the ferry is some fifteen feet below the
level of the roadbed, on both sides of
the river, and it is necessary to lower
and raise the trains down and up an
incline by means of cables and steam
winches to the proper level. After
running over a switch-back on the
Paraguay side, Encarnacion is reached,

Brains Not Everything.

People have got brains on the
brain" declared Spurgeon. IF you
say that you don't like person, some
one is sure to remark, oh, but he is
so clever!' Just as if that were rea-
son in itself for liking a person.
Cleverness is not everything. Some
times It is the very thing that fills
one with distrust of person-he or
she may be only made dangerous by
IT. Make the most of your brains, but
don't think they are the only things
worth cultivating."

popular tales that mark the red.head-

of the country there are still old

Room for Manv Immiarants.

Room for Many immigrants.
All through Paraguay to Asuncion
the road runs across vast tracts Of
luxurious grazing land, broken here
and there by lines of low, timber-cov-
cred hills. Buildings and other evi-
dences of development are few and
far between, compared with the eX-
tent of the country, and one Is i'm
pressed with the fact that there Is
ample room there for thousands Of
home-seeking immigrants from the
congested districts of Europe, who
would find an agreeable climate and
soil fertile and extensive enough to
feed not only themselves but many Of
the other inhabitants of the world.
Timber is so plentiful in the Para
guayan country that the railways use
it for fuel. At every railway station
are huge logs and squared timbers
ready for shipment. On the hillsides
where clearings have been made, as
we'll as in the bottom lands, besides
the rich grass, the corn, the alfalfa,
and the tobacco, healthy sugar cane
is seen.
Arriving at Asuncion at p. m. Sun
day, the train runs into large termi-
nal station which, though modern in
appearance, is said to be the first rail-
way station built in South America.
A British engineer constructed it about
fifty years ago, and the girders and
other parts of the framework, which
at hasty glance one would say are
iron, are in fact wood that is as sound
today as when the building was erect

STATE INVESTIGATES
AUDITORS REPORTS
ON ROAD Mileage

Wayne county will again lose
large amount Of money paid into the
state treasury for automobile licenses
an account OF the fact that the mile
age OF free gravel roads in this county
is much lower than in many counties
In the state.
In a long distance telephone call late
yesterday, County Treasurer Cham
ness was informed by the state treas
urer that the complete report on the
amount OF money to be returned to
Wayne county and the other counties
in the state, had not been made be-
cause OF = delay In checking up the
reported mileage OF roads In the coun-
ties in the state.
Last year there were 26,796 miles OF
gravel or improved turnpikes in the
state and there were only 24O miles
in Wayne county. This has been IN
creased during the past year to 3l5
and this will help In securing more
money from the state fund.
According to the state treasurer, II
was suspected that some Of the re-
ports turned in by the county auditors
in some of the counties relative TO
the number Of miles of free turnptkes
misrepresented the facts and an In
vestigation Is being made Of the audit
or's reports this year by the state
board OF accounts. This will insure a
fair apportionment and may cut down
the loss of money in this county
