Some warriors, having been at war

"There's glory enough for all!" ex
claimed the more impulslvo among
them.
But others were more cautious
"Let's keep on killing and desolating
awhile longer and make sure!" urged
these.
It was tho counsel of prudence
which prevailed, the world being noti

yet, quite ripe for peace.

An old fanner In the Midlands was

"Dang it!" he cried. "Here was I

Banker Ailes Has Chance to Get Rich on Snakes
MILTON A. AILES, vice-president of tho Rlggs NntIou.nl bank, hns had
fresh opportunity for fortuno thrust upon him. Heretofore ho has pur
btied tho Jado with marked success. But It remained for his casual recital ol
a snako story to bring him nn unex
pected chance for wealth beyond the
dreams of avnrlco.
Mr. Alios is In receipt of a loiter
from Forrest W. Brown, an attorney
at law in Charlcstpwn, W. Va., In
which is Inid down the tentativo plan
for tho accumulation of vast riches,
tho establishment of a rattlesnake
farm. Mr. Brown writes:
"I tried a case two or three years
ago In Morgan county, involving the
title to several thousnnd nnroa nf Intnl.
which tho witness described as not being worth anything except to raise rat
tlesnakes on. I succeeded In getting n judgment In favor of my cllont. Then
an old friend of mine inserted in a New York paper a communication In
which ho said that I had acquired a large tract of land in Morgan county,
and had organized a corporation for the purpose of raising rattlesnakes."
This, according to Mr. Brown, wns tho beginning. Many letters followed
from all quarters. Exporting companies in Now York and New Jersey want
ed to make arrangements to take all the rattlesnake skins that could bo fur
nished. They would tan thorn, In case Mr. Brown Iackod tho facilities. Tho
skins were wanted for export trade to Paris and London.
"I had letters from a number of friends," continues Mr. Brown, "stating
that they wanted mo to reserve lnrge blocks of stock for them. I think that
if I had taken all theso offers I would havo had $1,000,000,000 worth of stock
in tho enterprise by now. But it all failed because I could not find a general
manager. Kindly write and tell mo whether you will accept, so that tho
great enterprise can bo Inaugurated and continued with success."
When asked as to his Intentions, Mr. Alles spoke regretfully of tho press
of engagements In other fields of endeavor. Ho said, however, that It re
quired no fertile imagination to grasp tho immenso possibilities in tho plan.
In fact, ho was of tho opinion that it beat Col. Mulberry Sellers' eyewater
scheme all hollow. With tho eyewater there was a natural limit, dependent
upon the exact number of ophthalmic Chinamen. In tho case of tho rattle
snakes, however, It was altogether different. There wns tho Bkin, to begin
with, following which wero various by-products almost too numerous to men
tion. Rattles for babies was one that occurred offlinnd.
No More Persons Will Be
QUAINT and curious old family tomb, built according to tho custom
prevalent In portions of tho South early In tho last century, is to bo
found on the old Patterson estate, In
almost impossible to seo tho vault be
fore actually reaching It. Attention was in recent years directed to tho tomb
by tho request of Francis Wlnslow, a trustee or tho Patterson estate, made
to tho health board of tho district, for information relative to the burial laws
governing tho uso of such vaults. Mr. Wlnslow stated that no Interments
hud been made In tho tomb in many years, and that, with ono possible excep
tion, nono of the descendants of tho Pntterson family desired to ho interred
within tho plnce. In view of tho possible application for interment within the
vault, Mr. Wlnslow requested Information as to whether tho health depart
ment would permit it.
As a result of tho request, Health Officer Woodward had tho records of
his office searched, but nothing concerning the old tomb could bo found. Tho
question was referred to tho city solicitor, who replied, in an opinion, stating
that, under tho now code no person could be burled in any grounds except
tho.io known as private or public burial grounds, or such as may bo so desig
nated In tho future by tho district commissioners.

DIFFERENT THING IN MIND
Tom's Supposed Indorsement of What
Lurllna Disapproved Of Nearly
Led to a Quarrel,
Thoy wero In tho luro of tho ca
baret, ho and sho Tom nnd Lurllna.
Tho contralto was singing. PoBltivo
nonlndorsoment was in Lurlina's
voico as slio said:
"Entlroly too low! Entirely!"
Surprlso and unmlstakablo admira
tion mingled In Tom's reply.
"Ah, no! It's oxquislto!"
A catch in her breath, amazement
in her wldo-open bluo eyes.
"Why, Tom, how can you?"
Thoro was almost toars in hor
voice.
"How can 1?" ho replied enthusias
tically. "Indeed, how can I not?"
Amazument fled from indignntion in
hor eyes. Tho chill of lco was in her
tono and manner.
"Then I will thank you to tako mo
homo?"
"Why. Lurlinn?" And now tho
amazement was in his oyos nnd pain
ful eagerness in his voico'. What do
you menn?"
Oh, and sho was angry now! Her
bluo eyes wero ablaze.
"I menn her gownl"
A benm of light. Tom saw it all.
"Oh, Jupiter!" Could joy havo bot

Thereupon tho waiter came and nil
was forgotten.
