EDISON OUT FOR COLONEL.
"Has Greater Ability Than All Other
Proposed Candidates.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, May 10
Thomas A. Edison has come out for
Col. Roosevelt for president.
The, inventor has expressed his
opinion of the coloners fitness in
vigorous terms, and in the letter in
which he makes his views known and
which he has sent to the Roosevelt
Nonpartisan league, he declares that
Col. Roosevelt is the only man to be
considered at any time. In his letter
Mr.. Edison says:
HE (Roosevelt) has more real
craftsmanship, better grasp of the
most important needs of this country,
and greater executive ability to hand
lie the big international problems that
will arise at the close of the war than
all the other proposed candidates put
together"

FINDS SNAKE.
Fruit Man Discovers Boa Constructor
In Banana Bunch.

Keokuk. Ia, May 16.-When Carl
o. Taylor an employe of the Lago-
marcino Grapefruit Company cut off
the top stalk of bunch of bananas
at the Office the other day he was
suddenly startled to see a head pro-
trude from the bunch, small fiat
sinister looking head with two fash
ing eyes in it. 1t was not half an
inch from his arm before he put into
effect safety first measures and re-
tired from the immediate vicinity of
the object.
1t was a snake all right and was
coiled around the stock of the bunch
near the top. other employees of the
Office soon gathered to wonder and
ponder over the situation, the first
of this character that had ever con-
fronted them, for never before had
q snake been discovered on a bunch
of bananas, although several tar
antulas had been captured in the
past
Two beady, cruel eyes glared with
venom at the men and a wicked fork
ed tongue darted furtively at them.
Finally some chlorform was secured
and the unwelcome visitor was put
TO SLEEP, after which he was UNI
wound from the stock.
And 10 and behold, there lay be-
fore them a young boa constructor,
one of the worlds most deadly snakes
and it's largest, from the swamps and
jungles of South America, a snake
that history and geography teaches
us winds its coils about its victim
and chokes him to death.
The young boa measured 3 " feet
in length and had just recently shed
it's skin. The old skin remained on
the bunch after the boa had been
distracted. The snake is spotted
with yellows, tans and browns. The
shipment of bananas in which the
snake came was received here from
New Orleans on April 21 and had
been in the storeroom since that time.
When the shipment arrived cord
was tied around the bunch in which
the boa was reposing not half dozen
inches from him.
The bananas originally came from
South America.

HORSE MOURNS FOR
DEAD negro TROOPER
SOUND IN WIND AND LIMB, BUT
REFUSES FOOD-RIDER KILL
ED IN MEXICO.

Columbus, N. NJ, May 1S.-There's
horse in Columbus dying of brok-
en- heart. He's sound in wind and limb
but he won't eat or drink, and he's
slowly starving to death.
When the Tenth Regiment of col
ored troopers went into Mexico Pri-
vate George Hudnell of Troop C rode
him. And when STABLES" sounded
on the bugle at the end of long,
dusty hike, Hudnell was by the side
of his mount. Hudnell cared for him
as he might for a child.
All the little intimacies that bind
man and animal together were pre-
sent in an accentuated degree be-
tween the two. Hudnell carried sug-
ar in his pocket. The horse nosed
the pockets three times a day. Hud-
nell went without tobacco many,
many times that he might buy from
the troop cook the sweets the animal
loved. Nights when it showed in the
Sierras, and Col Dood's cavalrymen,
with one blanket and orders against
fire, shivered through the long
hours, Hudnell slept on the picket
line, close up against the horses
neck.
other animals might kick and roll
and bite on the line, but Hudnell's
horse was different.
Then, on March 20, came the first
brush between the Americans and
Villa men. Hudnell and the horse
came through safely. But two days
later Hudnell was one of a dozen
troopers injured when a Mexican
railroad train rolled down an en-
bankment. He died later.
Hudnell's horse was assigned to
another trooper, whose mount had
been killed at Guerrero. The new
rider, who knew how Hudnell treated
the horse, tried to follow suit. He
carried sugar in his pockets. The
horse quit eating sugar. One cold
night the trooper tried to sleep on
the picket line as Hudnell had done.
The horse rolled on him, and would
have trampled him to death had not
stable guard interfered in time 20
drag the man away.
Hudnells horse, formerly the ex-
ample of every other troop horse in
the outfit, became unmanageable.
At first the horse was to be shot.
A lieutenant pleaded with the cap
tain, and the death verdict was with
drawn.
"If you can use him, take him."
was the answer.
So the horse was held until an am
bulance corps went northward. On
halter, behind the jolting wagon,
the horse went north, too.
He's in the veterinarians corral
now. They try to make him eat. A
nibble or two of even the best oats,
and the horse stops. Sometimes
negro trooper approaches the corral.
The horse pricks up his ears and
trots up, expectancy in every move.
But the ears drop and the brisk gait
stops, and the thinning sides droop
pitiably. The horse doesn't make
mistakes and Hudnell is gone.

loved their riders" said the white
haired veterinarian, but never this
way. One of the officers believed
that to call the horse by name might
bring him around. But it seems that

waved his hand and cried to me in
Arabic:
Meeting you is happy omen, o
daughter of Syria!"
Returning to the post, in our
guest chamber with my companion,
we could not sleep, and assembled to
the roof. The April moon shone on
a dusky landscape where nothing
moved except on the crests
of the dunes some little eddies of
sand. Suddenly we saw away off on
the Tripolitan trail a long convoy
which had the appearance of a ghost
ly caravan. At its head recognized
the mysterious horseman, then his
companions, and then an intermin-
able line of mules, marching out be-
hind the other at an awkard gait,
while sparks seemed to fly from their
shoes.

Stable Doors Open When Fire En-
dangers Horses.


A large packing concern in Califor-
mia has installed an automatic means
for opening the doors of its horse
stable which allows the horses to es-
cape at any time of the day or night
if there is danger of fire. The device
is operated in much the same manner
as an automatic sprinkler. When
the tempature in its stable rises to a
certain point a weight is released
which falls on a lever that in turn
releases all the doors simultaneously.
At the same instant certain noises
are made mechanically which fright
en- the horses from their places. The
releasing lever is occasionally operat-
ed by hand to give the horses fire
drill. Each horse soon learns to trot
from its stall when the door opens
and the alarm sounds.-From the
May Popular Mechanics Magazine.

TROUT SEASON

Keep Out of the Smaller

Trout fishermen are requested in the

and to keep out OF the smaller tribu-
tarles in letter addressed to the
Ilshermen of the State by y. r. Butler.

department has extensive propagation
work under way and as there is always
danger OF fishermen catching the
smaller fish and iniuring them in
throwing them back again the chief of
hsheries suggests that the fishermen
angle only in the streams where the
larger and gamier fish are to be found.
In his letter the Commissioner says:
AS the season for the taking of
trout is now approaching, a few words

Motorcycle Machine Guns
Would Have Prevented
Columbus Affair

with a couple of machine guns
mounted on motorcycle sidecars the
United States troops at Columbus,
y. M, could have made that town so
hot for the Villa bandits that mighty
few of them would have ever gotten
back across the border to Mexico
again." said HeaGy Bros, 1900 North
Third street. to-day.
THE United States government has
awakened to an appreciation of the
value of the motorcycle and | predict
that the time will not be far distant
when motorcycles will be in general
use by machine gun companies.
For fast work in close quarters
under conditions such as existed at
Columbus or out in the open country
in operating against cavalry, the mo-
torcycle by reason of its speed, power
and f1eXibility has a great advantage.
But two men are required-one to run
the motorcycle and the other to op-
crate the gun.
THE short radius in which a ma
chine gun mounted on sidecar chassis
can be turned around makes it es-
pecially adaptable for quelling a riot
or stopping a raid in a city. Just
imagine for a moment what couple
of such outfits could have done to
Villas bandits that night in Columbus.
They could have poured stream OF
lead down every street in such rapid
succession that the Mexican outlaws
who escaped the first fire would have
had no alternative but to flee to the
open country.
And before they could have made
a start on the three miles they had to
go to reach the border they could have
been overtaken by the motorcycles and
completely annihilated with the ma
aI,s hor orIF N 4 q
region with which he is familiar
one hundred and sixty square miles OF
wild, mountainous country-it will be
a hard job to put an end to the depre-
dations of his outlaws. General Funs-
ton is the man for the job, all right,
but had there been a couple of motor
cycle machine guns available at CO.
lumbus that particular night there
would have been a quick ending of the
so-called Mexican problem"
