Hunter’s Story of an Encounter
On a Game Trail.
ALMOST STRUCK HIM
Mother Reptile Stowed Away Four
tedn of Her Five-Inch Babies—
They Obeyed Her Call, Hurrying
Over Rough Ground to Escape.
Seattle, Wash.—“During my ten
years’ stay in Montana I had some
experience with the rattlesnake,” said
an old hunter the other day, discus-
sing this poisonous reptile and some
of its characteristics.
“In Montana many had been killed
by the rattlesnake. The most danger-
ous period is what is known as the
dog days of July and August. In
these months the reptiles are blind
and always coiled for action. Very
few ever recover if bitten during
either of these months, as the rattlers
are more poisonous at this period
than at any other time. The rattler
is very savage in its blind condition
and will strike at all sounds that ap-
pear near him.
“Although we are king of all ani-
mals, we hate to meet Mr. Snake.
The people of Washington should be
thankful to have such a prosperous
state, splendid climate and to be en-
tirely clear of the poisonous pesta
that people in many countries dread
“In the first week of September,
1895, I had a queer experience with a
rattlesnake family. This is a true
story. I was on a hunting expedition
in the South Crow creek country in
Montana.
“The morning was cold and chilly.
I was in a hurry to cross the Quart-
zite divide, which is the home of the
dreaded reptiles. In pickihg my way
over the rough surface I generally
followed old game trails, especially
when they led any way near my di-
rection. I just reached the first big
butte close to the summit when a
large rattler jumped from a flat boul-
der and challenged me to fight. She

WAYS OF FINDING PARTNERS
Some New and Original Ideas Which
Intending Hostesses May Find
of Real Value.
A correspondent kindly1 tells of
these ways to find partners:
“One girl had conundrums written
lit to do if the hat brim is stiff, and j on cards and given to the girls; the
apt to leave pin marks in any
MART TAILOR MADE SUIT
V
answers to these were handed to the
gentlemen and they were numbered
corresponding with the numbers on
the girls’ cards; they were told to
find who their partners were. An-
other girl had the girls’ names writ-
ten backward on cards and handed
them to the gentlemen and told them
to make out who their partners were.
Another girl had a small piece cut out
of the card; the pieces were given to
the girls and the other portions of the
cards were given to the gentlemen
and they were told to look for the
girl who held the card corresponding
with theirs. Another put the girls'
names on cards and they were put in
envelopes and sealed and hid in dif-
ferent places in the parlor.”
In Pastel Shades.
It has become quite a fad to have
the combinations, corset covers, pet-
ticoats, gowns, etc., in colored batiste
to match the costumes with which
they are to be worn, or else to harmo-
nize with the decorations of the bou-
doir, particularly in the case of gowns
and petticoats. The trimmings are
usually lace of the shadow or val vari-
ety. Cluny, baby Irish and venise are
used on gowns and petticoats. This
fad will probably continue until hot
weather arrives, at which time there
is nothing better than white.

“FRAT GUYS BOOBS”
SAYS WASHED TRAMP
Hobo Looks on College Life as
Nothing to Be Proud of
After Bath.
Evanston, 111.—George Henderson
says there is no fun in being a col-
lege “frat guy.” He knows, because
he tried it for a while the other day.
George belongs to the vast army of
unwashed and is as loyal to the tradi-
tions of his society as any hobo who
ever chalked a cross on a back fence.
Naturally anything that necessitates
familiarity with soap and water calls
for disapproval.
He made the mistake of picking out
the back door of the Sigma Alpha Ep-
silon lodge at 1614 Hinman avenue as

Summer Living-Room Rugs.
Rugs are a problem, summer or
winter, but particularly In the summer
we long instinctively to get rid of
those with a deep velvety surface. One
of the best summer rugs made of wool,
appropriate on that account for all
seasons, is the homespun rug. The
weave is flat, without a nap, and the
colors are vdry soft and cool-looking.
These rugs cost from three to three
dollars and a half a yard, according
to the color and quality.—Harper’s
Bazar.
Hang Up Blouses.
To keep blouses fresh and unrum-
pled screw five hooks into a piece of
broomhandle about two feet long. Op-
posite the middle hook fix a large
screw-eye through which the bar may
be hung from a small pulley attached
to the cupboard or wardrobe ceiling.
Put the blouses on clothes hangers,
slip one on each hook, and puli the
whole up into the empty space in cen-
ter of cupboard.
Received Them All With Open Mouth.
almost struck me before I succeeded
in getting away from her reach. She
was more than five feet long and
game to the tail. I think it was the
most vicious snake I ever met during
my travels in various mountain coun-
tries.
“In looking around to see what
could find in the nature of a weapon
to kill the venomous enemy I nearly
stepped on a large bunch of baby
snakes. The little poisoners were
huddled up close together. They
were about five inches long, brown-
ish in color, fourteen in all, and cer-
tainly were true counterparts of their
mother, who was only a few yards
away.
“You can imagine my surprise in
looking down on this reptilian family.
I was about to get a step closer when
the old snake made a peculiar noise.
I had no idea what it meant, but
was soon informed b3r the babies, for
they knew the call and made a dash
for the mother. She received them
with open mouth, swallowing her lit-
tle darlings as fast as nature allowed
her to give them transportation.' It
was comical to see those little reptiles
hurrying over the rough ground to
obey mother’s call when she gave
them the signal of danger.
“After storing her babies she look-
ed twice her former size, and, expect-
ing trouble, coiled herself for bat-
tle. At this moment a thought struck
me that I would kill the reptile with
my rifle, although I had never heard
of anyone shooting a snake. Draw-
ing a fine bead on the body of many
lives I penetrated her with four
shells from my 40-82 Winchester
rifle.”
HE canyons of the southwest
are like people we may chance
to meet who do not impress
us particularly at first glance
as to either feature or person-
Their beauty of character and
their great heart interest are hidden
from us on a superficial view. Even
from a short distance away most of
the canyons look like mere gouges
scooped out of the mountain sides, of
no great depth, nor of many possibili-
ties in the way of variety, charm, or
beauty, of special interest, yet upon
an intimate acquaintance with them
they will reveal the fact that they
possess all of these attributes and
more. To traverse the length of some
of them is a good day’s journey by
horseback of by team. Twenty or
thirty miles they may penetrate into
the very heart of the range. This fact
of the length of many of the can-

seeking novice, and even at times to

If you are a mineralogist, you will

erals such as are found in nearly all
sections of the southwest. If an ar-
borist, the wonderful variety of tree
life will appeal strongly to you.
No Two Alike.
A day in a canyon will give you but
a taste of its many interesting reva-
lations and many days spent there
will not exhaust them. Remember,
however, that there are very many
canyons in the great mountain ranges
and that no two are alike. What you
may expect to find in one canyon you
may not find, but you will find it in
another, and, too, the canyon^ present

The hands of Crawford Warrden,
full back on the Northwestern univer-

Strong arms enticed him to the bath-

vigorously, elicted equally strong but
impotent protests.

Need for Oxygen Supply.
That there is less oxygen in the
rarefied air of celebrated mountain
health resorts than in any room with
closed windows, no matter how
crowded with persons, was an unchal-
lneged statement made in the Times
by the English expert on ventilation,
Dr. Leonard Hill. The British Royal
society has just published a paper
supplementary to the report on the
Anglo-American Pike’s Peak expedi-
tion by Miss M. B. Fitzgerald, which
concludes with the statement that
“arterial blood contains considerably
more oxygen at high altitudes than
at sea level.” The lungs are better
ventilated, for one thing, but it is cer-
tain, also, that the old theory that the
lungs should be plentifully supplied
with chemically pure air must be dis-
carded. The little cell-like alveoli at
the ends of the lung branches have a
special power of extracting oxygen,
even while the supply of extracting
oxygen in the air is deficient. This se-
cretory power is increased at high al-
titudes, and the increase does not dis-
appear until a considerable time after
descent to sea level.
CRAVES BATH BY TEACHER
Boy Never Was in Tub and Envies
Youth Who Gets Cleanliness
Prize.
Gary, Ind.—Paul Chuchu craves a
bath.
Paul Chuchu is 8 years old, a pupil
of the Froebel school, and somewhat
soiled. Also he is envious—envious
of that swaggering Andy Hatrack, 7-
year-old braggart, who boasts of his
intimacy with bathtubs—“dad blame
’im”—and flaunts a red necktie as a
proof that he is the cleanest gentle-
man in the grade. The grade is the
first and is presided over by Miss
Laura Knaggs, who recently present-
ed the tie as a prize for cleanliness.
Paul Clmchu glowered all day long
at Andy Hatrack and his brilliant tie.
He waited after school.
“I want to be gave a bath," Paul de-
manded of Miss Knaggs when the oth-
ers had fled from the room. “I ain’t
never had none yet. But don’t you
tell Andy Hatrack that I wants you
to give me a whole bath. Wash me
up an’ downs. ’Cause if yer don’t give
me a whole bath, I’ll—I’ll punch Andy
Hatrack on the bean, I will.”
Miss Knaggs was convinced of the
urgency of action. Her investigation
developed the fact that there
had been a bathtub in the Chuchu
household, but one will be borrowed
and the bath given.

Hs Fights Humane Society Agent
Who Reproves Him—Bears
Were Also Arrested.
Allentown, Pa.—Following a lively
wrestling match on the streets of
this city the other day, James B. Stu-
ber, agent of the Lehigh County Hu-
mane society, and Pierre Teyrent, an
Alpine animal trainer, with two giant
bears belonging to the latter, appar-
ently as much interested as the spec-
tators, Teyrent and his bears were
arrested and locked up in the local
jail.
Teyrent was charged with assault-
ing the humane society’s officer and
the bears were to await the outcome
of the hearing before Alderman Bow-
er.
Officer Stuber claimed that Tey-
rent’s treatment of the bears was not
only inhuman, but that they fright-
ened passing horses.
Teyrent resented Stuber’s interfer-
ence and a fifteen-minute scuffle en-
sued. culminating in the arrest of th»
bears and their trainer.
