I struck the rep tile a blow on the head with a stick, and to my surprise the snake fell apart m four pieces. Near by was a hole, and into this the head went, and al though I worked for half an hour try ing to get it, I failed. I then examined the body, which was as hard as if had been frozen and, as far as I could dis cover, it was entirely lifeless. Think ing it was a jointed snake, I left the pieces of the body on the ground and went to the house.

BUT FEW MEN AKK SICK GRASSHOPPERS HURT CROPS KfltoiiloloKlwtft of NehrHHkH, Kmiihhh himI Colorado In t'oliMiiltiit Ion. Dknvkk, Aug. 2. Eastern Colorado, western Nebraska and Kansas are just now in thei throes of a grasshopper plague, tho worst on record for fifteen years. Crops aro being elevastated and the farmers are being driven to elis traction by tho inroads of the pest, ac cerdintr to reports received at the State Horticultural department thi morning. In fact, tho gra-shoppers aro doing so much damage that tho entomolei gi9ts of tho three states havo decided to hold a meeting to devise a plan to combat them. Prof. L. Bruner,stato ontomologist of Nebraska, arrivod at Denver at noon from tho affected dis tricts and after a consultation with Mr. Shute, secretary of tho horticul tural board, left for Fort Collins, where he will consult with Prof. C. P. Gil lette, tho Colorado entomologist, and S. J. Hunter, the Kansas authority on bugs, on t-omo method of getting rid of the pest that is now making life a bur- don in tho rainbalt country. "I havo seen tho grasshoppers thicker in that section, but not often," remarked Prof. Bruner. "They aro as numerous now as the farmers can stand and unless something is done at onco to check them the loss to crops will bo tremendous. At our meeting we 6hall recommend the general use of kerosene hopper-dosers by the far mers in their fields and will also urge plewing up the edges of alfalfa patches, so the eggs of tho hoppers will be de stroyed. Wo havo several other schemes on foot which may servo to cheek tho post to a great extent." Millions Given Away.

Washington Special to the Baltimore Sun: A distinguished senator from New England has for twenty years past boasted of his skill in preparing water melons for his table. I,nst vear. about this tine, ho asked a number of frir-nda to his house to enjoy a melon feast. In preparing for the event the senator plugged three fine Georgia melons and poured into each one -a quart of cham pagne. When, several hours after ward, they were brought upstairs to the dining room the host prepared to do the carving. All hut several of hl3 most intimate friends were served from the two melons first cut. The third one, the nnost or the lot. was kem for the senator himself and the few others who. in his opinion, could appreciate a good thing. This melon, when cut open, seemed a little darker In color than the others, but no one commented on the fact. Bach gentleman after he had tasted It remarked, "This Is deli rious, but their approval had in it i ring of politeness that made the sen ator suspicious. The senator hurriedly out out a morsel, held it to his lips several times and then exclaimed Well, I've been fixing melons this way for twenty years, ana i never knew one to taste like that before Some one suggested that he had mads a mi.-take and proposed that they look at the bottles. So downstairs went the whn'p party, and there on the shelf wore the three empty bottles, two with champagne labels and the other marked "root ber." uOur baby was sick for a month with severe couch and catarrhal fever.

If Ko Posthumous ilt ir I- l".orn ti I.oril NY-.-ilTord. The new Earl of Strait ord is one rjf the most popular flerirymen in Eng land, with a record of having performed more marriages than any other of his order. It Is, however, premature to call this Rev. Hon. Uyng Lord Straf ford, as there may yet bo a direct heir to the unfortunate earl, who was kiilrvl recently by a railway train. The; Pynga are a needy family, the earldom, such as It is, being extc-mely difficult to maintain according to aristocratic ideas. Hut when the l ite- earl wedded the very rich Mrs. Colgate of New York the bargain was a muni..! ex change of title and support, and the disappointment of the countess at this -turn of affairs can rortdily be appreci- j ated. Should Lady Strafford present herself with a posthumous heir to the j title she will have somo consolation j for the shock and unhappiness which she has been forced to suffer ever since her marriage last January. Ambi tious American women pay dearly for titled husbands, yet they insist on having them. WlOO Kewurd WIOO. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in ali its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys tem, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by build ing up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address. F.J, heney &Co., Toledo. O.
