BITE FATAL TO
GIRL PREACHER
SOUGHT TO SHOW SNAKE WOULD
NOT HARM THE PURE.
With Coils Wrapped Around Her,
-RattIer Sank Its Fangs
Into Her Arm.

SARASOTA, Fla. = Mary Murray,
Is years old girl preacher of a mystic
rious cult which is strong near here,
is dead here, victim to her belief in
her own sactification, a sanctification
which she believed made her immune
from even the deadly bite of rattle
snake.
Mary Murray, bright-eyed, attractive
and eloquent, had chosen as her sub
ject "Sanctification." She proposed,
she told her congregation, to demon
strate most forcibly and fully how one
who had attained the state of holiness
and purity was immune from evil.
Her own person would furnish the OBJ
ject lesson. No harm could reach her,
she said; no sin contaminate, no evil
assal.
A great box was brought forward to
the edge of the pulpit. From 1t the girl
produced a monster -rattlesnake and
calmly proceeded to wrap its deadly
folds thrice around her body and
shapely neck. The congregation shiv-
ered
The huge snake seemed charmed,
nor made an effort to strike the slip
Of young woman, who handled him
as she might the most innocent pet.
A little later Bob Nixon, Holy Rol-
Ter exhorter, brother-in.law to Miss
Murray, came before the awed throng,
and went thru somewhat the same per-
formance, only he handled the serpent
more gingerly. and only lightly laid it
about his shoulders, where his clothing
was thickest.
Fascinated, the crowd in it's excite
ment called loudly for the girl-preach-
er again. They would once more see
Miss Murray handle the monster, then
be forever convinced Of her perfect
sanctification!
Elated by her former success. the
girl caught up the reptile and wound
it about her throat.
''He will not strike mel" she cried.
"Eyen the Arch-Evil does not assail
one whose heart is pure! Ia even
should the snake strike me, ~ sHa
would in no wise harm mel"
But the huge rattler drew back IL
darted at the girls left arm. The con-
gregation gazed, benumbed with hor.
ror.
Mary Murray quietly put the serpent
back in TIE box.
"The bite will do me no harm." she
said. do not think of it again. The
morning services are now over, and
you may disperse for your dinner"
Refusing all medical attention, the
girl went about as If nothing had hap.
pened. In an hour she had to acknowl-
edge great pain, which deepened into
agony.
At o'clock she died in horrible con-
vulsions. and next day they buried
her in the little home cemetery at Ell
lenton, on the Manatee River.
The snake had been captured in the
nearby woods only week before, by
boys, while out hunting.

DEADLY BooSE

Tried His "Darndest" to Violate Fed.
eraI Laws But Failed.
Fort Smith, Ark.-The man who
tried his darndest 10 violate the laws
of the United States Government and
miserably failed has been found.
He is Ben Jones, native Of the
Scott county mountains, and was dis
missed by J. H. Du-nrazier United
States commissioner, after he spent
night in Jail awaiting an investigation
of his alleged moonshine operations
in Scott county.
Jones told the government author
tiles story that rolled them into ona
long continual laughter. According to
his tale he had experienced streak
of bad luck when he decided to turn
moonshiner. He had mortgage on
his mountain home, and the man who
held the mortgage closed in on him
when he could not liquidate the in
debtedness, Jones said. Then his son
died and he was completely broken
up" He tried to make living by
honest means, he said, and failed At
ed to make little money"
The mountaineer said he bought
twenty gallon oil can, cut off the top
and inserted a hardwood plug on the
bottom. This served as his still. For
worm he secured piece of cast iron
pipe from saw mill and bent 1t
around tree to make coil Jones
further stated he traded shot gun,
worth $S for three bushels of corn
meal. He made q mash and attempt.
ed to distill it.
"'Onestly gents, that Ticker would
kill pole cat" Jones said, in des-
cribing the brand he manufactured.
did you sell any?" inquired J. v.
Bourland, district attorney.
"Sell any? Lawd, man. you could
MT give it away. l dumped the whole
Ticker and quit"
Jones said the still was now repos-
ing in the kitchen of neighboring
mountaineer who found it served
good purpose as soap box. What
became of his worm he did not know.
Federal authorities state that Jones
violated no law. although he tried
mighty hard. Jones has been want
ed since last February. He evaded
arrest by removing to Bonneville. Re-
Gently he returned from Bonneville to
Scott county where he was arrested
by Jim Thornton of Mena, deputy
United States marshal.

Enid, Okla.-Miss Ressie Warren.
berg of Enid claims the pie baking
championship OF Oklahoma.
She goes still further and claims
the championship in this instricatc
art in Kansas and Texas also.
But when she went to Denver to
compete with all the pie bakers of the
West, she, like the Irishman that
said he could whip anybody in the
United States, took in too much terri
tory. She was defeated by Mrs.
Charles Il. Cummings of Denver.
Miss Warrenberg has met pie bak-
ers of the Southwest in numerous con-
tests and has always come away with
highest honors. She believed her PIES
compared favorably with any in the
West and went to Denver to show her
skill. 1t was in the cooking contest
of the Hous wives League, held in
connection with the Colorado Food
Products Show that she met her
match.
At that, the Oklahoma daughter was
not badly beaten. The judges. three If
them, gave Mrs. Cummings and Miss
Warrenberg two points, Mrs Cun-
mings winning on quality baking ard
Miss Warrenbery earning her points
On flavor and time.
While the judges were deliberating
ond there was every prospect of a
chung jury" Miss Warrenberg solved
the problem by confronting the judges
by asking that the prize be awarded
TO her rival because her own pie, she
admitted, had run over" This was
due 10 the fact Miss Warrenberg as.
serts, that her pie pan was too shall

Two hundred housewives watched

: They May Be MutiIated.


They May Be MutiIated.
Thousands of dollars are lost yearly
by big firms through ignorance or
carelessness in observing the Federal
laws governing abuse of coins.
Just lately in Chicago piano COM
pany came to grief in this way. Had
they asked the proper authorities
(the information would have beca
furnished gratis) or had they looked
up the law they would have found
in section 165, public act No. $50,
these words: D
Whoever fradulently, by any art,
way or means shall deface, mutilate,
impair, diminish, falsify or tighten
the gold or silver coins
which have been or which may here
after be coined in the Mint Of the
United States shall be fined
not more than $4,000 and imprison-
ment of not more than five years"
Much trouble and expense would
have been saved the firm and the gov
ernment had the law only been read.
1t all happened in this way: Some
clever advertiser conceived the idea
Of an 'ad" of metal just the size of a
dime, with the. wording and printing
placed in such way that at first
glance it would appear as dime.
The idea was cleverly executed, A
fair imitation of the head of Liberty
was on one side and the advertise,
ment on the other. The number was
placed where the date on a dime is
and the first glance certainly inn
pressed one as the real coin. The
other side had sheaf of wheat and
in the centre the words "On Time"
The firm had no desire to defraud
the public. But INSCRIPTIONS reople
who had access to them did. Several

|. GETTING A GOOD GRIP
II is worth while to get a-good grip
at the start of anything. If you have
any real worth while purposes for the
new year get good grip on them at
the beginning. The Sunday School
lessons for the next six months are
in the Gospel of Mark This is one
of the most vigorous books of the New
Testament. 1t probably contains many
of the recollections of Peter who re-
ported them to Mark Mark and
Peter were very much alike in their
impetuosity. Mark made mistakes
Just like Peter did. but he went
straight ahead and lived them down.
He wrote his Gospel with the Gentle
world in view. particularly the
Romans. He therefore emphasizes
the power of Jesus because the
Romans worshipped power. His Cos
pei is called especially ''the young
mans Gospel"
III. "MAkE YE READY"
The prophet outlined the work of
John the Baptist in the verse: Make
We ready the way of the Lord, make
his paths straight 1t is the bust
ness of every man to make ready the
way for better things. If we are to
have the better civilization, better
homes. better education, better
churches. II better world. then every
one of us must be preparing for these
things. Moral preparedness is one of
