DIVA SUCKS POISON
 FROM RATHER BITE
 AND MAY SAVE LAD

Carlos Gonzales, a fifteen-year- old youth brought to the city late on Mon- day night from Wenden for treatment for a rattlesnake bite, owes his life, l. he vet survives to Madame Schumann- Heink. He deserved her ministrations for he suffered the bite while trying to perform service in his superstiuous way for Mrs. Frederick Schumann, the daughter-i -in-law of the famous singer.
 On Monday morning, Mrs. Schu- mann, at whose home seven miles north of Wenden Madame Schumann- Heink was stopping after her appear ance at Wenden the night before, was stung by a scorpion. The boy who was present and had heard that the poison of a rattlesnake was a famous antidote for a scorpion sting, ran out in search of a snake. He found one not far from the house and killed it as he thought. But when he stopped to pick it up to extract the poison from it's glands, the snake struck him on the wrist.
 The boy flew to the house with the story of the happening, and Madame Schumann- Heink sucked the wound until all the poison that had not already gone into circulation had been eX- tracted The boy yas then hurried tI Nenden and broU Int in on the Late train on Monday ght.

tirely possible. Civil war then
 mioht lead to either separate peace with Germany, or restoration of the monarchy with it's inevitable train of evil consequences.
 Out of the haze of the Russian situation as represented unofficial
 Iy today, officials developed the
 impression that the provisional
 government probably could count
 on the support of the navy, large
 part of the army, particularly in
 the interior, railway employees and industrial workers. kornloff prob
 ably expects the backing of
 stronq element of military leaders,
 dur1a members, the intellectual
 classes the cossacks and other
 considerable professional fighting
 clements of the army. In addition
 it is probable he would be openly
 supported by the commercial inter
 ests and the social democrat po-
 litical group as soon as he shows
 strength. N 2G4 Premier KerenslIy's sources of strength, however, include the usual advantage of government authority to make arrests and deal out immediate punishment to violators of it's orders and the extensive system of govern ment representatives among the troops at the front. Through the channels of these commissioners, it is likely that the government already has dis seminated information caulculated tt retain the soldiers loyalty.
 Another situation which may render difficult Korniloffs attempt to marct or Petrograd and seize Russia's rul' by force, is that the armies have be come so democratized they can easily conduct negotiations without recours' to their commanders and they may re fuse to fire on their brothers in arm when the time comes for meeting O troops representing the opposing e.e mentS.
 Opinion here is divided as to wheth CT a passage of the crisis will lead t a united and strengthened Russia.
