BATTLES To FINISH
WITH RATTLESNAKE

ATLANTA, Ca, March 21.-Word has
been brought to Atlanta of a remarka-
lie fight to the death between M. A.
Mcmillan, an aged farmer living near
Triton and rattlesnake, in which
the man finally conquered.
Mr.. Mcmillan, who is we'll advanced
il years and consequently not able to
move with the alacrity of youth, was
nending a fence when he disturbed a
rattlesnake SO large that when piled in
coil its head was more than two feet
above the ground. The snake struck
at him and would have reached its
mark if it hadn't been detected by
heavy briers. Before it could coil to
strike again Mr.. Mcmillan seized q
rail and with the end of it pinned the
, snake against the ground. He tried to
call for help, but none was near. The
snake by main strength twisted itself
out from under the rail and prepared
to strike again. This time Mr.. McMi!-
Ian got beyond striking distance, but
the snake followed him, and unusual
thing in a RATHER, and continued the
attack. The snake was sounding its
rattles continually and emitting a
sickening odor.
Mr.. Mcmillan finally picked up a
shorter rail and with it gave battle. 1t
was some time before his blows stop
! ped the onslaught of the reptile, and
it was so thick, about the size of a
mans arm, that it seemed impossible
to break its back but well-directed
blow on the head did the business. The
snake measured six feet in length.

PROF. COLE ELUC|DATEs
THE QUESTION

ATLANTA, Ca, March 21.-he
question which has recently been agi-
tating Southern editors of why a per-
son of dubious mentality should be
called in slang nut" has been clear
ed UP by Professor William J. Cole, the
aged savant and philologist.
A number of Southern papers, dis
cussing the same theme have main
tanned that the odd slang term nut is
itself foolish and without signifi-
canoe, because nut is a sensible,
wholesome, nutritious and highly re-
spectacle thing, whether it happens to
be hickory nut, walnut or what-not.
There is sense in calling an IN
desirable person a lemon" says the
Shreveport Times, 'but Tiers is no
sense in calling a foolish person
nut
Professor Cole says the editors are
all sadly off the track and that nut.
instead of being pointless slang is phil
o&ophically and philologicaIly sound.
The nut referred to when you apply
the word as metaphor to an insane
person, is not the kind of nut THAI
comes off tree,' explains the profess
sor, but means the metal nut that
comes off bolt in a piece of machin-
cry. When the nut comes loose, the
whole machinery gets cranky. Hence
when man was Hght-headed one used
to say in slang that he was off his
nut or that he had "a screw
Loose (they mean identically the same
thing and by an easy transition the
word nut was finally applied to the
foolish individual direct. The recent
sIuirrel illusions thrown in for good
measure by low comediens are due to
a primary misapprehension of the kind
CT nut referred to in the original slang
term. Likewise the application of the
word nut or bean to indicate ones
head, is corruption"

A KNIGHT Of THE
RANCE" At ALCAZAR

Featuring Harry D. Carey, in "a
Knight of the Range" is the picture
al the Alcazar Tuesday.
True friendship and real western
chivalry were the chief components
iru the character of Cheyenne Harry,
one of the champion ropers and rough
riders of the region around the Con-
tinental Divide. Harry is in love with
Bess Dawson, the postmistress of
Lariat, and so is Bob Graham, his
chum and bosom companion, but Har-
ry conceals his affection that his
friends may have clear road in his
courtship. A notorious gambler, Cen
tleman Dick, also has set his eyes upon
Bess, but is afraid to openly declare
his attentions because of his sweet
heart, Dolores. Bob gives Bess a ring
of unique design which falls into the
hands of Dick. Upon his return to
town following a roundup Bob sees
the gambler wearing the ring and i'm.
mediately believes Bess untrue.

Prior to the war King Albert was a close friend of the German Grown Prince. All of the ties of blood and association which bound the Belgian King and Queen to Germany have probably been broken for all time. It is said. that King Albert has declared that his children shall never marry Germans, and that the Queen has heartily echoed this determination.
