ton Wednesday of the alleged beat

Universal Woe

There is no place on all the globe
entirely free from care. where no
one walls and tears his robe, and
none is known to swear. Misfor-
tune sometimes spills our beans and
dcsolates our day, and then we sigh
for distant scenes. for islands far
away. And if we reached those isles
remote, in t'other hemisphere, we'd
ind that man can lose his goat as
quickly there as here. There is one
kind of grief at home. another far
away: there is one sort of Voc in
Rome. another in Cathay. SO when
we leave our native State to dodge
one brand OF woe. we find another
Just as great, wherever we NAV 90.

i son remaining in it. The proper
solution to use is a strength Of
one-haf of one per cent.
This sounds like the Volstead
| Act. Care must be taken that the
solution be not too strong, ''for
that, said the doctor, would be
worse than the snake poison. !" That
reminds one of hard liquor, too.
The doctor had one hand bandaged,
He was bitten several days prev
iously.
About ten per cent of bites are
fatal, except that bites on the face
arc always 50, the doctor stated.
Rattlesnake bites in this climate
are less poisonous than those Ct
southern rattlers, which grow t.
larger size, secreting more poison.
The poison paralyzes the nerves
and depresses the heart action.
Large, strong persons are less af
fected than small or weak individ-
uals.
"Rattlers strike to defend them
selves, and to secure their food, ;"
said Mr.. Keitel. "The poison par
alyzes their prey, enabling them
to secure it. 1t also keeps it
from becoming rigid after death.
The largest of these in the pen can
swallow rabbit about half grown.
AS it takes them some time, the
lack of rigidity enables them 10
swallow their food more easily"
Nature seems to fit into a snakes
economy as we'll as into mans.
Each "doctored" snake was plac-
ed carefully in a clear space on the
floor of the second compartment.
To keep this clear young woman
using a stick about four feet long,
nonchalantly poked the snakes into
a corner. One good sized fellow,
livelier than the others, crawled
back into the first compartment
She tried 20 detain it, but failing,
held it down with the end Of the
stick, which She passed to a by
stander. Getting a pair of tongs.
she lifted it back. "Good stunt"
said Mr.. Keitel, in Communication.
The females are dark in color,
the males light Both are ven.
omous. '"Honors" are even.
Mrs E. V. Alexander, who, with
his wife, superintended the histo-
rical exhibit at the fair, said that
