BATTLE WITH RATTLER
Mrs. E. Haase, of near Spur,
returned recently from near
Gatesville where she attended the
funeral of her mother who died
■ s the result of a battle with a
huge Rattlesnake. The follow-
in' report ot the battle Mas takeii
which to base settled opinion
Speculation as to the outcome
is keen and turns upon many pos-
sibilities, one of which is the
eventual abdication of the Kaiser
in favor of the Crown Prince. This
theory is developed by a neutral
diplomatist who in one respect
possessed exceptional means of
information on the present condi-
tions in Germany. His idea is
that the Crown Prince has just
played in Berlin a role much simi-
lar to that in which he appeared
at the outset of the war.
The Kaiser’s hesitations in 1914,
he says, were overpowered by
representatives of the military
party headed by the Crown Prince
who advanced dynastic considera-
tions for the immediate prosecu-
tion of what was expected to^ be
a speedily victorious war. Now
that the Kaiser is confronted by
a different problem, the Crown
Prince, backed by Hindenburg
and Ludendorff and the whole
weight of the military system,
which is the fundamental base of
the structure of Hohenzollernism,
has carried the day again.
There is not material upon
which to arrive at any estimate
of the Kaiser’s personal attitude.
He may have been reluctant to
abandon Bethmann-Hollweg as,
according to the neutral authority
lie was reluctant to sign the fate-
ful decree of mobilization in 1914.
My diplomatic friend is inclined
to*believe that the Emperor’s per-
sonal inclinations were on balance

W F MACON. Prop.
of a desperate battle between an
old lady and a large rattlesnake,
the encounter taking place one
day the past week on the Con-
nettle ranch on the line of Cory-
ell and Hamilton Counties.
An old German lady, Mrs.
Swasby, had left the house and
gone out to cut some cane, tak-
fng M’ith her to do the work a
small hand axe, and u-hile busi-
ly engaged at her work she en-
countered the huge rattlesnake,
which, without giving her the
regulation warning, struck her on
the arm. Realizing that the bite
was fatal the lady, u-ho is said
to have been about seventy years
of age, struck back with the axe,
and it was then the death strug-
gle began.
The news reaching this office
is to the effect that so fierce and
terrific M-as the struggle that the
battle ground had the appearance
of having been fought over by
two human beings. The huge
snake would strike, and the brave
and courageous old lady would
wield her axe with deadly effect,
finally' succeeded in killing the
repitile by chopping the head
from the body. She then return-
ed to the house and told of the
struggle and M’here they M’ould
find the dead snake, and a feM’
hours later she breathed her last.
It is said the snake’s head meas-
ured three inches across the top
and that he had fourteen rattles.
The old lady succeeded in cut-
ting him into three pieces before
she abandoned the fight. —Texas
Spur.
some months past have been no-
ticeably making headway with the
late Chancellor, but the present
evolution of the crisis sliou's the
Kaiser bowed to the dictates of
the militarists now, as he did be-
fore.
The question arises whether the
Kaiser, not being in full sympa-
thy with the extremist policy-
forced upon him. Mill consider
that the interests of his dynasty-
will not be better guarded in oth-
or hands than his own.
That the minors of his possi-
hie abdication in favor of the
Crown Prince, which reached
Switzerland from Germany, may
have their origin in some question
of this sort is the suggestion of
the netural diplomat quoted.
In other quarters 1 find little
disposition to expect the Kaiser’s
abdication, unless it be the fact
that three years of war have made
him physically a broken man.

The ease against the garden
mole is not clear-cut. The dam-
age that it does burrowing
in the soil and uprooting plants
is somewhat offset by its help-
