Boqqs and Stewart Paid.

Harry Boggs, an accountant for the
public service commission, recently was
checking up the records of the Ander-
son municipal electric plant, at Ander-
son. A campaign was on in Anderson
to raise money for Y. NJ. G. A. build
ing.
Boggs was approached by commit
tees and asked to contribute. Finally
he signed paper promising to pay ST.,
and opposite he placed the name Of
Charley Stewart, chief clerk Of the
commission, in whose office at the
statehouse Boggs has a desk. Boggs
came home and waited developments.
Soon Stewart was notified that his
contribution to the Anderson Y M. 9.
A. was due. He didn't say much,
but apparently did lot of thinking.
The other day he caught Boggs in
the offices as another dun came in.
Stewart opened and read the "dun,"
which was more or less insistent in It's
tone.
Then he walked over to BOggs.
LEND me dollar, will you, Harry|
he asked.
And Boggs dived into his pocket and
produced the dollar.
"Now I'll just pay this bill for you"
said Stewart.-Indianapo News.

DEADLY SNAKES MADE STUDY
Garden of Serpents," in Brazil, Is
Maintained for the Production
of Serums.

Brazils Garden of Serpents" is one
of the most interesting, though to
some, repulsive sights in the world,
and is maintained purely for scientific
purposes. 1t is located at Butanta,
Brazil, and occupies in all some 700
produce serums for the cure and pre-
vention of the effects of snake bites.
The snakes used in preparing the
serums are kept in a small park, con
tanning numerous dOme-Shaped shell
tiers, which is surrounded by wall
and ditch filled with water. Other
specimens are kept in a similar park
near the main building, in order to
study their habits favorite food, the
very diverse venomous properties of
various species, and the best method
OF escaping their attacks. The hot and
moist forests of Brazil contain many
venomOus serpents but the slightest
noise alarms the peaceful and timid
reptiles, which attack only those per-
sons and animals that tread on them
or destroy their lairs. The principal
families are the Bothrops and the Gro
tales, or rattlesnakes. The Bothrops'
venom decompoSes the blood and pro-
duces internal hemorrhage, with in
tense congestion of the liver, kidneys
and brain, while the venom of the Gro
tales paralyZes the respiration, circu-
lation and vision, and usually causes
death within tWenty-four hours. Each
venom requires its special antidote.
The laboratory heads prepare a serum
for each, and also polyvalent, or com
pound serum, which Is effective against
all Brazilian snake venOms, for use
when the species of the attacking
snake is unknown. The serums are OBJ
tanned from young and sound horses
and asses, which receive, at intervals
OF five or six days, injections of venom,
increasing from One-tWentieth milli-
gram to one gram. A years treatment
Is required to produce perfect immun-
ity and an effective serum. The poly
yalent serum is obtained by injecting
the venoms of Bothrops and Crotales
alternately. The animals thus immun-
lied furnish antivenom serum for
long time if they receive fresh in
lection of venom after each extraction
of serum. Tubes of serum, with hypo-
dermic syrlnges, are sent gratuitously
to hospitals, municipalities and poor
patients. Others are sold at low
prices or exchanged for live snakes
Serums for pest, diphtheria and
tetanus also are produced by the
usual methods.

Supreme Court Changes.

There is not a single member of the
Supreme court of President Harrison's
day now serving on the bench. Twenty
six years is not long time for CON
tinuity of service in the lower courts.
There are hundreds of judges appoint
ed at the age of thirty-tve who are
still in full mental vigOr at seventy,
and not few cases of this kind are
to be found in the lower federal and
state courts. Even Chief Justice
White, however, is able to point to Il
judicial record of only twenty-siX
years. He was appointed by Cleveland
in February, 1894 and all the members
with whom he was associated at that
time have passed away. President
Taft had the honor of appointing a full
majority of the Supreme court in the
course of his four years in office. He
appointed Justices Hughes, Van De
vanter, Lamar and Pitney. President
Wilson has already made two appoint
acknowledgements and Brandeis-
and now has another appointment to
make. Despite all the changes that
have taken place In recent years, more
cases were disposed of by the Supreme
court during it's recent term than III
any other term since 1890. A total of
SAT cases were decided, while in 1890
there were go cases. There still re-

ROMANCE OF ROSES
PRETTY LOVE STORY THAT BE-
GAN WITH THE FLOWERS.
IL Was SallIe That Gave the Young
Couple an Excuse for Calling, But
in Short Time They
Needed No Excuse.

Betty, the secretary of our club, has
had pretty love story, relates the
Chicago Tribune. 1t began in u rain
storm. When the rain was peltng
down its liveliest Betty came into the
street from an elevated road station
At the bottom of the steps stood boy
selling flowers. He had only two
roses left, glorious, half-blown pink
ones.
'Ill have those roses, If you please
said Betty. And, "I'll have those roses,
II you please" said another voice at
the same time. The other voice be-
longed to man. He was a young
man, and when Betty looked up and
he looked down, both smiled. Despite
the dampness Of his clothes the boy
smiled too.
WELL" he said, (which of you is
goin to have 'em?"
"You," said Betty. "You spoke
first"
mo, you. l think you did," said the
young man.
The boy, being a diplomat as well as
Il flower seller, suggested that they
"divvy up"
"Why notY said the man. II want
my roses for friend who is i'll, and
she can't smell but one rose at time,
now, can she?"
81 suppose not" said Betty. Il also
want my roses for Il friend who is i'll,
and she can't smell but one rose at II
time"
SO they "dlvvied up" They left the
station together, and since their ways
lay in the same direction, they walked
together for three blocks. Presently
both turned into the same side street
and both stopped at the same house in
the middle of the block and both rang
the bell Of the same fiat.
Don't tell me it is Sallie Miller that
you are bringing that rose to-" said
Betty incredulOusly.
"Sure it is" said Betty.
80 Jney CllnDeu lne SUITS lOSelHeIs
won't Sallle be surprised to see US
coming together?" said Betty. Sallie
was surprised.
81 didn't know that you two knew
each other" she said.
1--WE don't-we didn't" said Betty.
Then they told the story of the roses.
Sallie liked the roses, but, being a
sympathetic soul, she liked the story
better. 81 am so glad she said. You
must both come again on Wednesday
at this same time"
They went away together. Their
talk was mostly of Sallie. Each said
how wonderful it was that the other
knew Sallie. At the corner they sep
arated.
81 go this way" said Betty. "And I
that" said he. II hope we will meet
again-at Sallie's," he added.
80, yes, at Sallie's," said Betty.
OF course they met-at Sallie'S.
Their engagement is now six months
old. They will be married soon.

Horrors of War.

One of Germany's most noted sur
geOns, who has spent months at the
front and in hospital service in writ
ing of the effect of the terrible strain
Of war as depicted upon the faces of
those released from the firing line,
says: physically these soldiers may
be as hard as iron, yet they are not
intact. The officers nearly always de-
velop an uncanny, marble, staring look,
as though they had been accustomed
to gaze shudderingly at all the terrors
and desolating orgies of destruction,
as though they had been obliged to wit
ness this with unblinking eyes and
finally felt that their eyes had become
d mirror of the horrible. 1t is as though
the claw of demon had seized their
faces and made their eyes sink deeper
into their hollows The more highly
civilized a man Is, the better educated,
the deeper his feelings, the more does
he bear the indefinable something in
his face, the sign that he has seen ter
rible things. "-Christian Advocate.

old FRIEND GONE
ED S. ELLIS, FEATHER OF THE
DIME NOVEL," is DEAD.
No Doubt There Are Many Gray
Headed and Highly Respected
Members of Society Who Will
Remember His Books.

The father of the dime novel died a
short time ago ut the age of seventy
six. Many of US are old enough to re-
member those Beadle Il Adams dime
novels with the salmon-covered paper
covers, not too large to slip inside IA
pocket and hide there until favorable
chance came to deyour its pages, for
our elders hal a strong prejudice
against the yellow backs" and be-
lieved that a boy who read them was
hiking straight down the center of the
road to perdition.
Ed S. Ellis, the man who died re-
Gently wrote the first of the dime nov
els that made hit, and he wrote hun
dreds of them afterWard, and many
other books beside. He was nineteen
years old when he wrote Seth Jones"
In 1859, and sent it to Beadle & Adj
ans, New York, who had just begun
to publish their dime novels, but had
not made success with them. They
saw winner in Seth Jones'" Before
they sent it out they plastered the
country with posters, dodgers and
painted inscriptions with the ques-
ton: "Who is Seth Jones?" and
when the people had guessed and won
dered for weeks the whole country
broke out in another rush of posters
bearing the picture Of a frontiersman
in coonskin cap, with the inscription,
Il am Seth Jones'" The book made
the fame of Ellis and the dime novel
and the fortune of Beadle K Adams.
1t was translated into II languages
and Il million copies were sold.
A queer thing about it was that
Ellis was brought up to be preacher
and that he was teacher of a, Sunday
school class when he wrote this first
dime novel. He used to clothe Bible
stories in imagery of his own, vivid
and exciting, and always closed the
lesson with the tale un inished and
the remark: Boys, We'll continue the
story next Sunday" All the boys in
the village were in his Sunday school
class.
He wrote so many stories for boys
and girls that he lost count of them.
He was the author of the boy Pho
neer," Log Cabin" "Deerfoot," IVY
oming" and "Forest and Prairie" Sc
ries, and he wrote many serious-mind-
ed books, such as history of this
country in eight volumes, of which 10O,-
600 sets We're sold.
1t is said of him that he was a good
man, Of kindly nature; that children
loved him, and that, in spite of the
preaching that has been done against
cheap novels, there was not an immOr-
al situation nor anything that would
tend to influence for wrong in the hun
dreds of novels he wrote. His heroes
were manly and clean-minded his NOR
ais good and he exalted the noblel
qualities of honor, loyalty and courage.
He said just before he died that he
did not regret anything he had written
and he felt he had contributed to the
Joy of living for millions of boys and
girls. The Star knows from expert
ence that this Is true, so here's Il
wreath to the memory of the father of
Seth Jones'" the hero of boyhood
long past.-Kansas City Star.

night about 9 o'clock, and about the
time the presence of the officers be-
came known, there was general ac-

haps dozen negroes who had squeez-
ed into a little room. The officers
called upon them all to halt, put
that only added to the desire of some
of them to get away as soon as pos
sible.
One of the officers, in trying to
bring the negroes to halt, fired sew

CROWD NEGROES
REPORTED To HAVE
BEEN DUPED AGAIN

Colored people in such large num-
bers assembled at the L. &. N. pas
senger depot last night that the sta
ton master requested police assist
ance to clear them away, and Captain
Wilde, Motorcycle Officer Tarrants
and Patrolman Way were called upon
shortly before 10 o'clock to move the
crowd as they had become so dense
in the building and on the platform
as to interfere with traffic business
there. The train from the east was
fifty minutes late, and the crowd
enlarged so that Officer Fillingim

little later Special Officers Shack

Little, if any, trouble was encount-

see that no trouble was started.

the station clamored for promised
transportation to points in the north
but they did not say that they had

learned definitely. They were all, or
scores of them, at least, were there
expecting to leave on promised trans
portation. The individual who made
the promise, however, did not show
up, and some of the negroes admitted
to one of the officers chat they were
not looking for tickets, but for the
man who fooled them" but they would
not say that they had paid out any
money as the first gang did some two
weeks ago.
There are no individuals licensed
thus far in the city to procure labor,

Local Elks Pay
Honor to Their Dead
Continued From Page Onel

the fragrance of the deserted, yet
everything, flower of their friendship.
And in accordance with the wise
custom of the order to teach US by
example as we'll as by precept, we are
gathered here today, to honor, by our
presence on this occasion, and by our
feeble words, the memory of our de-
parted brethren.
These men have come and gone the
way of all living creatures. The
brief space of time allotted them as
what we call life, was spent in the
close relation of friendship and fra
ternal ties with us. During their
lives, they assumed the obligation,
subscribed to the principles and bore
their share of the burdens of our
order. One of the wisest laws of an
all-wise Providence is that which
gives to time the power and privi-
lege of healing the wounds of minds
and spirits overwhelmed by the ir-
reparable loss of those dear to them.
But time, while it can heal the acute
wounds presently caused by the pass
ing away of those of our brethren
who have preceded US to that "bourne
whence no traveller returns" it can
not obliterate our calm and forceful
realization of our loss, nor can it
lessen the deep and abiding respect
and affection in which we hold their
memory, nor can it make US any less
anxious to meet each year at mem
orial services such as this, and give
public testimony to the world of what
the presence of these departed ones,
living, meant to us, and how the
memory of them, dead, is cherished
by us.
And may we not, with benefit to
ourselves, and in direct furtherance
of the principles of our order which
our departed brothers labored 50
faithfully to uphold during their
lives, draw some lesson from this
occasion?
