SNAKE CAUSES AUTO WRECK.
Runaway Follows Owners Effort to
Kill Copperhead on Seat.

East Orange, N. flames Morrison
of Orange went automobiling with his
family the other afternoon and when
over the Second mountain drove into
dirt road so that his wife and two chill
dren could pick wild flowers. They left
the car under large oak tree and
sauntered off.
Half an hour later Mrs. Morrison and
her two children returned to the car for
the return trip Coiled up on the front
seat was a large copperhead snake.
The mother and children, dropping the
flowers, ran away screaming.
Mr.. Morrison returned to the car and,
as the branches hung low over it,
pushed it back to the macadam road Of
Eagle Rock avenue. Getting q stout
club from the woods, he swung at the
snake, missed it and accidentally gave
the car a push, and down the hill 1t
went.
The grade was very steep, and the
automobile ran through wooden fence
into the farm of Jacob Miller, striking
a calf, killing couple of chickens and
finally hating after it had torn away
part of Miller's back porch. By this
time there was not much left of the
car, and Mr.. Morrison, with his wife
and two children, walked four miles
home The snake escaped.

HANGING AND BRoTHERLINEss.

HANGING AND BROTHERLINESS
There was a public hanging of two
negroes in Mississippi few days ago.
Everything went as merrily as mar
riage bell. There's nothing like a
double hanging, anyhow, to bring
people into a sOciable mood. I'll bet
that crowd was more bTOtherly than
the average crowd, and I'll bet you
could strike almost any one of the
bunch for a quarter and get it.
Hangings should really be encOUr-
aged. BrotheTliness is on the blink
Just now, so let US by any and all
means become brotherly.
Some wOmen's clubs are bound to
harp on the effect of such a scene on
public morals. But, believe me, the
men, women and children who filed
Starkville were fully convinced that
they were attending a real benefit
performance. 1t must have done their
honest hearts good.
When I'm hanged I expect armies
and hordes and congregations to be
there. It really makes it easier to
shuttle off the conventional coil.
Furthermore, hope and feel pretty

Or the products of labor are abolish
ed, the problem will be solved.
Every human being will be equally
free to use the earth and it's boun-
ties. Every one will participate
equally in the benefits of civilization
and cooperation. Every one that
works will get all that he produces.
The fund that comes from these land
values will be amply sufficient to pro-
vide for the expense of every public
function. 1t will be sufficient to pro-
vide for the extending of public func-
tions wherever experience shall show
it to be necessary, and poverty will
be abolished. 1t will harmonic the
conflicting fields Of human eXer-
ton where now the elements Of indi-
vidualism and cOIectiveism are wag-
ing unending warfare. Peace and
plenty and equality of opportunity
and of material conditions will be the
rule and mankind will rise to greater
and greater heights of development

ABOUT CATS EYES.-Can cats
see in the dark? If they can will you
please tell me why the cats eye can
see more than the human eye?-
Mildred Baker.
Too bad to detract from the fair
fame of Tabby and her family, but
wise men who have studied the pow
er of vision say that if a place is really
dark, no light coming from anywhere,
neither human nor cats eye can see
anything.
However, to give cats their due
they can see quite clearly in the light
so dim that the human eye can
scarcely see at all. The reason is that
the cats eye is so made that the pu-
pill can be extended to suit different
conditions of light. When it is very
dim the pupil enlaTges so as to take
in every ray Of light, no matter how
feeble it may be, which the human
eye cannot do.

sure that nearly every one of us has
had some distant forefathers or fore
mothers who have graced the family
tree by being hanged on one pre-

Anyhow, I think hanging is a great

with bullet holes or inglOriously
stoned with stink bombs.-J. J.

He was in splendid god humor

he had returned. l heard him
say:

case of delirium tremens, compli-

day."

Sunday, and II you will come over
then I'll tell you all about It,"

But Dick" I said as he came
back to his dinner, you should
not tell your mothers fibs."

me today that / could have one
