TIE STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, For the third successive market, stocks closed with an average net gain, this time with a little larger VOL ume of trading. There was some isolation in tobaccos and a few other issues caused some heslta- tion after a slow morning upturn,
 But the advance was resumed in the last hour under guidance or the rail shares which thus reas- serted the leadership they had been given on several upturns ot the past month.
 Net gains ranged from fractions to about a point for many car riers, industrials and utilities.
 One million shares of mining stock were sold on the Vancouver exchange Thursday with much profit taking.
 Egg prices at Vancouver, $. c. yesterday were 25c, 23c and 22c.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10, The hey day of hoodlism is past, Mayor John Cermak said yesterday. No longer are there gangs such as was formerly headed by Al Capone who now lanquishes in the Atlanta pen intentiary.
 The main business of gansters now is auto stripping and it is es- timated 5000 cars are stolen every month in this city. It is calculated that when an auto worth about $500 is stripped of accessories, bat teries, tires, etc, that gangsters realize about $50.

If you feei sour and sunk and the world looks punk don't swallow a lot M sslea, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine

 If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels Gas bloats up your stomach. Ycu have thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes- Your head aches and you feel down and out Your whole system is poisoned.
 1t cakes those good, old CAMPERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make yoa feel up and up." They contain wonderful. rarmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely.

We whipped about furiously. almost choking
himself. but at last we got him in the bag and
took him home. There We put him in 5-foot
box. We thought that because he was not very
frisky he could net climb out. But alas! When
we came back from feeding the rabbits Mr..
Snake was gone! We we're very mad to think
of all the trouble he had caused us and the fact
that we had captured fine specimen of the
tree snake over feet long.
Note think Bills tree snake" was probably
q black snake. This species is n-poisonous.
1t kills its prey by construction and lives on
mice. frogs. birds eggs and nestlirgs. For feed
ing such snakes in captivity live mice and toads
or frogs are best. Snakes need plenty Of drink

Adveuture With Black Snake
BY WILLIAM SHERIDAN.

ONE day last Summer my pal Jack and
~ we're back in the woods when We came
across an old fallen tree which was partly rotten
and hollow About 2 feet away from this tree
was large snakeskin about feet long. We
were curious as boys will be- about the where
abouts of the snake and poked about the rotten
tree. In a moment we heard a loud hiss which
proclaimed the snake hiding inside the log.
We went home and the next day came back
armed with a nocse made Of string, a gunny
sack and a long supple pole. We went directly
to the tree where the snake made his home.
We teased him until he came out. He did 50

rode one horse and drove two pack horses
loaded with my camp outfit and the regular
proSpectOrS gear, for I was hunting for gold.
There was little chance Of finding 1t. however,
for the country was "sedimentary' In forma-
tion while gold is usually found in igneous
rock. Everything went along finely. except for
q bear or two which frightened away with
couple OF shots, until I reached the lower
levels of GunSight Pass
Here in one place the rocks lie fiat, some
of the layers being soft and some hard so
that the softer ones weather away, leaving the
harder ones as fiat shelves that run around
the mountain sides for long distances like nice
roads or trails. Hobbling my horses. followed
one OF these shelves around the shoulder OF
the mountain, to see If could find any rock
that might contain gold.
AS went along the rock shelf gradually
n grew narrower until it was only about
two feet wide. Then I turned a sharp point
OF rock and suddenly came face to face With
an old billy mountain goat He was not five
feet in front of me- facing me on that narrow
shelf with nothing below but cliffs that
dropped straight down for hundred feet.
And had no gun, nothing but my prospecting
pick!
If had brought my gun would have been
all right but it was back in my saddle holster.
for had never thought of meeting anything
to shoot on that narrow open shelf Of rock.
That just shows that a mountain man should
never be without his gun-and I never was
after that
When I met the goat he looked at me and
I looked at him. Then he shook his head,
stamped his feet and came straight at me in
short stiff legged jumps, with his Shiny needle
like horns down just where they would jab
me if he got within reach
My only weapon, the prospecting pick. was
about the size of an ordinary hammer. with
hammer head on one side and pick on the
other When the goat came at me cracked
him over the head with the hammer, but
might as well have famed him with fly
swatter for all the damage I did.
| E stopped, backed up few feet, shook
! his head and came at me again, just as
any billy goat would. I was hugging the wall
as fiat as could get but knew that if he
hit me We would both go over the cliff So
this time I smashed at his head as hard as
could strike with the sharp pick.
1t landed squarely on his thick-haired fore
head, tore the skin and staggered him. This
time he backed up again. stamped, shook his
came on once more! Again struck savagely
with the pick, and again it glanced off without
really damaging his thick skull.
He repeated this procedure several times
more until finally I landed on the side of his
head and knocked him fiat. He bounced to
his feet in few seconds, but this time he was
