ILAS SUGGS, mir

dead. The big rat
tlesnake that had
eo long refused to
bite him struck at
last, and In less
than an hour the
white haired old
giant who had to
often horrified the
throngs of people
his ctrnngo doings drew nround him
by opening the Jaws of that rattler with
his thumbs was a dead man. Suggs
claimed that ho had a divine mission,
and proved It by passages out of the
Scriptures which rlcarly showed that
no others but those called of God could
Immunely handlo rattlesnakes, copper
heads, cottonmouths and water moc
casins. Silas Suggs was -18 years old.
He was a failure as a farmer, and for
sixteen years had made his living as
a silversmith. The peculiar religious
phase of his character developed about
five years ago, when he evolved a sort
of theology from the Dlble In which
snakes and Christianity seemed to be.tr
nbout equal parts. According to him,
Christ's mission on earth was to repeal
that law which ordains enmity between
mankind and the snake, whoso persua
sion brought nbout tlio fall. Suggs
was very careful about his snaked.
They could bito him as much as they
would, but ho Invariably handled them
as though they were glass and he w.m
nfrald of breaking them. In the au
tumn ho turned them loose among tlio
rocks of Illinois, and ho said they al
ways camo back In the spring.
In Ms big deal box ho carried a four
foot rattlesnake, thrco or four copper
heads of various sizes, a five-foot oot
tonmouth or highland moccasin, sev
eral wnter moccasln3, and a pulling ad
der. For several months this stiange
man had been going from town to town
In Southern Illinois and Western Ken
tucky and Tennessee preaching with n
rude eloquence that wonderfully stirred
the rustic sinners ranged around, and
afterwards performing miracles before
the affrighted gaze of thousands. Ills
(followers claimed that he performed
miracles, for how else could he plunge
his bare arms into a big box of writh
ing, wriggling, hissing snakes, the
most deadly known on the continent,
allow them to bite his hands and arms
time and again, and live. And he did
this end then demonstrated that the
snakes had not been rendered Innocu
ous by the removal of their fangs by
letting them immediately afterwards
bite chickens and dogs, which speedily
died. Then ho would let tho same
snakes bite his hands and arms again.
Hut all this time Suggs himself was
unable to frame an explanation of the
big rattler's failure to bite.
Just after his story was told In the
Journal in June, this huge diamond
back rattler was captured in the Hay
Bottoms, and, on Suggs' return from
Nashville, presented to him for mir
aclo purposes. Suggs thrust his arm
into tho rattler's Improvised den ns
i.onchalantly ns though reaching for
the best rolled Conestoga In a box.nnd
drew him forth, remarking at the same
time that unless his "plzen works"
were In working order, he didn't need
him. Inserting his thumb between the
rattler's jaws, Suggs examined tho
venom glands, dues and fnnps, with a
careless air, and then pitched bin latest

along with the others. Hut, unlike the
others, tho diamond back refused to
bite him, oven when scratched between
the eyes with a spear of timothy a few
days ago.
Suggs was on his return homo after

and fall sessions of Circuit Court In
Egypt. Ho wore new store clothes,
and his pockets bulged with silver, the
offerings of tho awe-struck witness's
of his miracles. Just after a hcar'y
dinner, a scoro of his followers hrd
gathered about the hotel porch, and Si
las was urged to show what he could
do with tho snakes for ono lost time
before ho returned to his littlo lonely
log cabin Just over tho Popo county

is only what ho had done with impun

Eleanor Morton Parker, writing of
"The Voice" In tho December Worn
nn's Home Coinpaulon, says:
"It has long been conceded that a
pleasant voice Is one of woman's great
est charms. And many of us can veri
fy this truth for ourselves by recall
ing the sweet Inlluenco of sonic wom
an, who lllto tlm lovely Cordelia,
spake In ncccnts nift and low. A pret
ty face nnd a mimical volco go well
together, but of the two the latter It
preferable. Tho power of a truly good
woman possessing such a gift cannot
bn overestimated, especially If she Is
lollned and Intellectual. Her harmo
nious tones fall with u restful cadenco
upon tho ear of tlm Invalid. They nro
peaeo for tho weary, balm for tho sor
rowful, and nro frequently moro effi
cacious than a sermon In touching tho
obdurate hearts of the wayward.
"On tho contrary, wo sometimes

woman, no matter how great her nat
