Snakes Reputation undeserved.

The beginning Of all religious cere,
monial is magic. Thus Aaron with his
rod. He turns it into a snake.
Most surprising, but not wholly
novel. sold stuff" say the priests Of
Pharaoh. "Watch us!" They, in like
manner, transform sticks into serpents.
But Aaron's. snake gobbles up the
snakes of Pharaoh's clergy, and that
settles the argument.
The snake is nearly, If not quite, the
least Intelligent of animals. To speak
of the "wisdom of the serpent" is q
joke. Yet, through all the ages this
stupid and almost mindless reptile has
been credited with a sagacity ap,
preaching the supernatural.

But no struggling automobile pre-

said Norah Clarkson. Tile held us up

At last came tea-and the transpar-

Anne. 40 got two pounds this morn

CITIZENS PROTEST AGAINST REMOVAL
 OF POST0FF|C[
Nenanaites Not In Favor of Building Postoffice on the Commission
 Grounds.

4 petition signed by over 200 property owners and others inter ested in the development of the town of Nenana, protesting against the proposed erection of a building to serve as postoffice, on the Com mission grounds, will shortly be sent to the postmaster geenral.
 The citizens urge that if it should be absolutely necessary to have such a building, that it be erected on the federal reserve, which is in the heart of the town, and not on the Commis- sion reserve, which is not centrally located to serve the needs of Ne nanaites.
 The petition is as follows:
 To Honorable Postmaster General
 Burleson; Honorable Edgar c.
 Bradley, Asst. to Secretary Frank lin K. Lane; Honorable William c. Edes, Chairman, Alaskan En-
 gineering Commission, Washing ton, D. c.
 "Your petitioners hereto, would respectfully but earnestly represent: |:
 "That we are residents and citi- zens of Nenana, Alaska, and patrons of the Nenana postoffice.
 "That when the Nenana townsite was established, and it's town lots offered for sale, look upon the plat thereof showed specifically a municipal and federal reserve and the site for future postoffice build ing. "-"":.-. ~:.:".... :.. "That scores of us purchased our lots, built substantial business build ings, in large measure, upon the assurance of the above reserve, and the postoffice site.
 "That the postoffice is now housed in a substantial building, lying di- rectily across the street from said postoffice site, and approximately within one hundred feet of the United States Commissioners office, Marshal's office and Telegraph build ings. The present location is as nearly in the center of Nenana, all things considered, as it would be possible to place it, for the con- venience and satisfaction of all the patrons and citizens.
 "That we earnestly protest against the Alaskan Engineering commission erecting a building to be used as a postoffice on any other site than the one designated on the Nenana Towsite plat. And your petitioners will ever pray:-
