MRS. FREDKELLER
IS POISONED BY
REPTILES BITE
COpper-Head Sinks Venom.
Gus Fangs in Womsn's
Right Hand.
HUSBAND FINDS SNAKE
SECRETED IN CREVlCE
Arm Swells to Elbow Till the
Wound Is Lanced and
Puss Removed.

Mrs. Fred Keller, wife of the we'll
known farmer of that name, living
about five miles from this city on the
Bloomfield road, was bitten and poi
soned by copperhead or cotton
mouthed snake at her home about )
o'clock Friday morning.
DR.. E. R. Schoen of Gordonville was
summoned at once, but Mrs. Keller
arm on Friday was swollen to more
than twice its normal size and she
suffered severe pains from the wound
inflicted by the snake.
After treatments had been applied
yesterday she was relieved of the pa n,
but her arm still was swollen badly.
1t is believed now that Mrs. Keller is
out of danger and will recover. The
bite of a copperhead snake is consid-
cred on parity With that Of the
RATHER. The reptiles fangs carry
venom of the most deadly character.
Just after Mrs. Keller had gotten
up and was preparing breakfast at tic
Keller farm, she had occasion tc go
down into the basement, and while
there started to open transom oveI
the door. She was engaged in this
when she felt something soft strike
her right hand and immediately after
ward the pains set in. She examined
her hand and had much difficuity in
finding the places where the fangS Of
the snake had punctured the skin.
She summoned her husband aid he
went into the basement at cnce and
made an examination of the place
where his wife said she had received
the mysterious sting. Mrs Hciier
did not see the snake strike her and
did not know what caused tie wound
she had received.
On inspecting the frame Of tic base
ment door Mr.. Keller found the cop
perhead snake lying stretched out in
crevass between the wood of the
door frame and the stone work. He
killed the reptile and found it to be
about two feet in length.
When DR.. Schoen examined Mrs.
Keller's arm it had already swelled
from the wrist to the elbow. The doc
tor lanced the wound and removed
puss formation that had gathered at
the wound, and yesterday, after con-
slant treatment, it was thought the
snake bite had been controlled. 1t was
pronounced highly probably for the
poison to work its way up Mrs. Kel-
ler'S arm and become fatal.

THIS MAN TEACHES
THAT COURTESY PAYS.

In the September American Maya
zine, a writer tells about David Glib
son, who is called the original courtesy
man. Mr.. Gibson has done more than
any other individual towards teaching
railroads and other great corporations
the Importance of courtesy. MI. Glib
sons resolution Is:
Resolved: That we all cease trying
to get something for nothing-graft-
ing in other words; that We all do just
a little more than we agree to dI rath-
er than Just a little less. That hon.
esty is a question of efficiency here on
earth, with its rewards in profits now,
here on earth. That fear is the root
of all evil: for if our neighbor cheats
us in his store it is to fOrtify himself
against some element out of his store.
That the basis of all. life is business
life; that business is the system by
which we supply our wants and needs;
that we are true to political life, true
to social life, as we are true to bust
ness life. That we think of others as
we would have them think of us; that
We do as we think, the thought pre-
cedes the act; that cooperation is the
real motherhood of man; that the
prosperity of ane man does not require
the poverty of another; that both the
idle man and the dishonest man,
whether they be possessed Of little or
much, are fools in themselves and
denominations to their communities"

THE SKIRT IS COMING DOWN.

The skirt has surely gone up as
high as it's going to and now it is
coming down. The shoemakers know
it. and it Is a matter Of business with
them to know, too. They have taken
about two inches off the tops of the
new fall shoes. This new skirt is not
coming way down., however. 1t will
stop about at the ankles. The ten
dency, too, is toward straight and mar
rover lines. But it will be a long way
fNNm the hobble. Women having been
hobbled onc r not likely to be hob
bled again. That's where the delights
of freedom come in. BY the way,
Callot of Paris was among the first of
the sponsors for this longer skirt.
The pert, f1aring and bouffant skirt
will still be worn: but it has lost it's
novelty, and that was the best part of
it. Lots of women however, thought
its youthfHlness the best part. They
claimed that you couldn't tell the
grandmother from the granddaughter,
when viewed from behind. by wearing
it. But you see the granddaughter
doesn't care about this, if a new style
seems more attractive, and the pooF
grandmother must submit. 1t does
seem as though youth and fashion are
always in league, quite forgetting that
middle age and old age have aspira-
tons about being tastefully clothed

VIRGINIA PASSES A
STRINGENT QUARANTINE LAW.

Absolute state quarantine against
children under 16 years of age who are
residents of New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, was declared by the
state board of health of Virginia to
become effective at 1901 a. m, Friday.
Adults may enter the state without
hindrance. Virginia children under 16
now in infected areas may enter the
state, but must remain under two
weeks quarantine. In exceptional
cases, discretion is left with the state
health commissioner~to issue special
orders to meet cases 10 provided for
under the general quarantine regula-
lions. .-a 4, &ls a.
Children under 16 years of age
from those districts against which the
quarantine is effective will not be per-
mitted to enter Virginia even on the
presentation of health certificates, and
railroads and other carriers will be
held Jointly responsible with those
persons violating the quarantine law.
Plans for enforcing the quarantine
have yet been completed by State
Health Commissioner F. G. Williams.
He expects to announce them late to-
night or tomorrow.

AND E HE DIED.

Metchnikoff, the celebrated scientist,
is dead. So great was his fear of the
cancer germ that the effort to dodge
it's approach must have spoiled life OF
much of its pleasure. Here are some
of his directions about eating:
'Never eat uneooked fruit. Take
bananas. for instance. People think
that because they haveaa thick skin
hey are protected from microbes. Moth
ing of the sort. / plunge them into
boiling water before eating. / always
pass my knives and forks and spoons
through a Bunsen burner before using.
All dishes are cooked. Water is filter
ed and then boiled. 1 never eat un-
cooked fruit. Strawberries ought to
be plunged into boiling water a few
minutes before consuming. 1t sounds
troublesome, doesn't it? But it helps
to avoid cancer germs"
He lived to be seventy-one. Mil
lions of others have lived longer who
never heard of the deadly germs of
which many today are in such mortal
terror. To become obsessed with the
idea that "the bugs will get you if you
don't watch out" is total intJl a men
tai condition that must be more OF
less akin to monomania. Great gen.
fuses escape these obsessions no less
than ordinary mortals. A clear writ
er. referring to Metchnikof's fear of
the cancer germ. wonders how he kept
his fingers constantly free from all
possible infection, and says: 1t would
be interesting to get a view of Metch-
nikof's dining-rOOm-or does he eat
in his laboratory? A Bunsen burner
and a sterilizing outfit must make an
artistic and appetizing decoration for
a buffet.
The unselfsh devotion of this dis
tinguished Ia must, however, COM
mand the honor of all who are familiar
with his life's work work no matter
what their attitude toward his meth
DDS. To live simply, to surrender
ones soul to what it holds a high task.
to ignore all opportunities for personal
gain, and to die poor-these are among
the elements of greatness.-F. H. r.
in Our Dumb Animals.
