BLUFFS AND HPLAYS DEAD" i"
Bur There's a Fatal Flaw In the Hog
Nosed Snakes Acting.

"SSSN
When you find hog nosed snake
hattened out upon the soil in his
anxiety to absorb all the sunshine
that he can he Immediately adopts
a policy of bluff" He first initiates
his body by a deep draft of air.
Then he fattens his head and ex-
pands his reck to three times its
proper width. Next he strikes an
grily toward the intruder and misses
with malignant fury. The average
pedestrian naturally retreats with
feeling of gratitude for the danger
signals SO unmistakably imprinted
by a kindly Providence upon the
deadly members of the reptile race.
A good field naturalist will quiet
ly advance his bare hand to the rep
tiles head, because he knows that
this snake can neither be induced to
give a poisonous bite nor a bite of
any kind. Seeing that the observer
cannot be intimidated, the snake
then opens his jaws and acts as if
he had been injured. Convulsive
spasms ripple down his spine. He
writheS and twists as if transport
ed by the agonies of death, and,
turning over on his back, the last
convulsion dies away along the tail.
Now, nothing in nature looks more
dead than a snake lying with the
ivory white of his belly plates turn
ed upward to the sky, and the hog
nosed snake will simulate death so
patiently that you may carry him
by the tail or hang his body on
fence and he will swing in the wind
and give no sign of life for an hour
or more.
But this clever acting has one fa
tai flaw. If you place him on the
ground with the belly downward he
will twist over on his back again.
He has such fixed idea that ''belly
plates skyward" is the correct pose
for serpent's corpse that, although
supposed to be lifeless, he will turn
over on his back a dozen times if
you as perseveringly persist in lay
ing him on his crawling surface. His
zeal for the perfection of mimicry
blinds him to the obvious truth that
dead snakes stay where they are
put.

treasury that the cost of the ca
nal could be paid from the ordin-
ary receipts. So the bonds were
not issued in anything like the
sum for which they were auth
orized-and there they are today,
more than two hundred millions
of them, constituting part of the
surplus which Republican admin
iStrations have always accumu-
lated for their Democratic sue
cessors. These bonds will prob
ably now be issued, on the ex-
cuSe that the money is needed to
pay the cost of the maintenance
of the National Guard on the
Mexican border. They will run
fifty years, they will carry three
per cent interest; capital and ir-
terest, they will total, when paid
off, two and one. half times their
face value. Posterity will thus
be saddled with a debt for six
months of military futility; while
the Panama Canal, already paid
for with money provided by Re
publican prudence, will bear an
undeserved stigma every time
the coupons are clipped from the
bonds which will carry a false
name.

The Value of Thrift

To be thrifty does not mean to be
stlngy. 1t means taking good care not
to waste or misspend what one has.
1t means not wasting things, large or
small. Saving many small things
makes great difference in what you
possess. No man is SO rich that he is
warranted in being wasteful If he
has more than enough for his own
needs there are plenty of ways in
which he may use the surplus for gen
eral benefit.
The thrifty man does not spend with.
out thought. He will never spend more
than that which is his own. The
thrifty man avoids debt. The thrifty
man has something ahead, so that
when necessity demands there is some
thing to fill the need. Thrift gives con-
tent in the present. 1t does away with
many worries. 1t gives promise of
future safety. From saving comes
having.-Milwaukee journal.

The peace hysteria which the
stock market has shown proves
that investors are not geograph-
ers. The most cursory study of
the map Of Europe, in connec-
ton with the inspired utterances
of German writer's and diplomats
regarding the terms of peace,
will show how futile is even a
discussion of the subject at pre-
Sent. German plans call for
shutting Russia from the Baltic
and from every other useful sea,
for building a Teutonic bridge
across all the territory reaching
frvm the North Sea to the Tigris,
for d constant menace to the In
dian Empire and to Egypt, for
the retention of the Turk in Eu-
rope, for the okliteration of the

Political Gossip.

The fact that an English firm,
in the extremity of it's war, can
so greatly underbid American
firms, causes the inquiry to shape:
How much more can they un-
derhid us when peace comes?"
And that question suggests 9TH
ers. Are women working in the
great foreign industrial plants?
Are wages lower? Are hours
longer? If so, what can be done
to protect American wages, Am
erican business and American
prosperity when the war is over?
We defy anyone to give any 9TH
er answer than this: America
wilt have to have a Mckinley
