THE TRUE TALE Of A
RATTlE-SNAKE'S TAIL

The following tale (not tall) Is
clipped from yesterday mornings
Medford Sun. The reputation Of the
parties mentioned for yeracity leaves
no room for doubt as to tho truth
fulness OF the story
Mrs. A. j. Klockner, who has re-
turned from a weeks visit to Grants
Pass, had the unusual experience,
while there, OF hunting rattlesnakes
by the headlight Of an automobile.
In company with DR., and Mrs. Ed.
Bywater they we're returning late
one evening from viht In the
country. A rattlesnake, aping the
manners OF It's Arizona cousins. had
buried itself In the dust OF the road,
and, thus ensconced for attack, II
was run over by the auto. II crawled
away however, apparently uninjured.
DR.. Bywater at once reversed his
car and spent some time looking for
the snake by artificial light. When
found, the doctor fearlessly lifted II
back into the road The stick, how
ever, broke into bits when used as
club--but the snake was extermin-
ated by DR.. Bywater, who literally
followed the biblical injunction OF
placing his heel upon the serpent's
head.
The oil OF the snake will be used
for medicinal purposes. There were
seven rattles.

And now you have given something so

But, persisted Hyatt, with dogged

Hyatt looked absolutely foored; and,
seeing his perplexity, she added:

Rouss was anxiously and impatiently
awaiting her arrival.
IL thought you would see the advisa-
bility of selling, Miss Farnum,' said the
manager, by way of greeting. @'ve had
the wires hot since you left, and the deal

figured that deal like this ought not be
allowed to become cold, eh?"
"But how about the striker" she an
swered. "How will it look to them to see

Rouss fairly strutted across the room.
"Did you think I'd be forgetting that?"
he laughed. "Why, Miss Farnum, I've
been working to-day, believe me! To-
morrow morning, when you come down
here, you'll hear the hum of the machin-
cry. Every man jack of them will be at
his place, that is, with few exceptions,
maybe,-and they'll be working harder
than they have any time since-since Mr..
Hyatt came here"
She ignored this dig, saying simply:
ayes; that's fine, surely. But on what
terms, Mr.. Rouss? That's rather impor-
tant."
"Oh, Miss Farnum!" exclaimed Rouss,
"if could only convince you that am
working in your interest every minute of
the day! What terms? Your own terms,
Miss Farnum | mean by that, the men

course, when the time comes. Or, rather,

wanted was full house, and you've got
