A RATTLERS BITE
Hotv Under Some Conditions It 51ny
Not Iiill the Victim
It may seem absurd to claim that
there are cases where he bite of a rat
tlesnake is not fatal yet such have
happened and to understand these it is
necessary only to understand the man
ner in which this reptile strikes
Tho spectacle of a rattlesnake at bay
is one a beholder never forgets The
great long body lies coiled in a tense
spiral the very embodiment of wick
edness Poised in air the white bellied
fore body is bent into a horizontal S
rigid as an iron bar Raised from the
middle of the spiral is the tail quiver
ing like a twanged banjo string and
emitting a rattle like steam escaping
from the pet cock of a radiator or like
the sound of a mowing machine in a
distant hayfield Awe inspiring th
dread flat triangular head eyes gleam
ing black and cold as icy steel is ready
to strike As tho grewsome mouth
opens wide and pink the long thin poi
son fangs arise from a horizontal posi
tion an5 staiid upright like a pair of
slender curved needle pointed shad
bones ready for business Liko a flash
far too quick for tho eye to follow the
snake strikes sending home its fangs
an inch or twTo and in that same frac
tion of an instant he has squirted a
blespoonful or canary yellow viscous
fluid into the wound and lies coiled
ready for a second attack
In this incomprehensibly swift attack
lies the answer why sometimes the bite
of a rattler is not fatal for so won
derfullyswift is the attack that a bite
may be imperfect leaving only a pair
of tiny needle punctures with just
enough venom to make a victim seri
ously ill
Another reason why a rattlesnakes
bite Is not always fatal is that tempo
rarily the reptile may be without ven
om The snake may havo exhausted its
poison on a previous enenry in which
case it would have to wait several days
before the deadly fluid has reaccumu
Iated or again the vipers fangs may
have suffered accident They may have
been broken off and require time for
new growth In any case certain it is
that a rattlesnakes poison applied in
the proper way will do its work and
then only tlie most expert and prompt
assistance wll save a victim A W

An Onncc of ttad Cheer In Worth a
Pound of Melancholy
It has been said that it Is better to
be born lucky than rich said Dr
George P Butler but It is in fact bet
ter to be born tough than either lucky
or rich After forty eat less and elimi
nate more Drink more pure water rcd
keep the peristaltic wave of prosperity
constantly moving down the alimenta
ry canal Many people suffer from too
much business and not enough health
When such is the case they had better
cut out business and society for a time
and come down to mush and milk and
first principles Dont he foolish Eat
less and play more Indulge in less fret
and fume and more fruit and fun
There are people too indolent to bo
healthy literally too lazy to live Work
your brains and keep in touch with
people Do something for others and
forget yourselves There Is nothing so
inane and detrimental to mind and
health as the conversation of people on
their aches and pains and troubles
The froth of whipped eggs Is a tonic
compared to it All our appetites are
conditional Enjoyment depends upon
the scarcity A worker In any field
whose age Is near either the shady or
sunny side of fifty should consider him
self in his prime good for another half
century of temperate judicious work
Let grandma wear bright ribbons and
gaudy gowns if the colors become her
and let grandpa be as dudlsh as he
pleases with flashy neckties and cheer
ful garb Both will be younger for it
and besides it is in hormony with na
ture Gray hair Is honorable that
which is dyed is an abomination be
fore the Lord Cultivate thankfulness
and cheerfulness An ounce of good
cheer Is worth a pound of melancholy

DON QUIXOTE
The FhlloKophy of San olio Pnnzo and
the Fame of Cervantes
The enormous number of proverbial
sayings in Quixote had much to do
with the success of the book especially
in England and France at a time when
the apothegm and maxim were a favor
ite literary form and quite apart from
the inexhaustible fund of humorous ac
tion contained in the work Sanchos
sententious dicta made the noval as a
collection of proverbs alone worth pres
ervation
As in the case of so many of Shake
speares apothegms hundreds of Sancho
Panzas saying have become so much a
part of our common speech as to sound
almost trite when we stumble across
them on the printed page Diligence
Is the mother of success seems obvious
enough but the man who first enshrin
ed it in speech was a genius lie
whom God helps is better off than the
man wno sets up early Is a bit of

Senator Proctor of Vermont accom
panied by Mrs Proctor and a party of
some fourteen persons was once mak
ing a tour of tho west A stop was
made at Salt Lake City and the party
started out for a walk about the city
Senator Proctor and his wife headed
the procession and the ladies of the
pa fy brought up the rear going in
pairs That very same day another
party of easterners was making the
rounds of Salt Lake City and when
they encountered the Proctor party in
the main street they stood aside to let
them pass Well well exclaimed
one of tho second party Theres a

his wives Out for a constitutional I

The Thing In a Nutshell
In a nutshell the 210000 miles of rail
road in the United States stocked and
bonded at an average of 63000 per
mile and capitalized on tho aggregate
for 13250000000 or thereabouts con
tains 1500000000 of water computing
the average valvo of American railroads
at 10p00per mile On this vast over
capitalization the Americnn people are
compelled to pay at least i per cent
or 180000000 a year in tho shape of
freight and passenger tolls
How is tho water to bo rung out
That is one ofjjthe problems which tho
future alone can solve Periodically or
at least once every twenty years tho
water wrings itself out but it is pump
ed in again almostby tho same process
by which it was originally injected and
the process will keep on repeating itself
for generations growing more dangerous
to our financial system as tho years go
by unless tho nation and tho states shall
assume and exercise supervisory power
over railroad capitalization OmahaBee

Thomas W Lawson of Boston who
is after the Standard Oil Co with a
big stick with the permission of the
groat commonpeople of tho Unitpd
States announces that his June article
in Everybodys Magazine will deal
with the first great Crime of Amalgam
ated in a double chapter of 21000
words He promises to give in his vig
orous style what he calls a brick-and-mortar
detail of this act by which the
American people were robbed of 36000
000 through the agency of the biggest
national bank in America the National
City StandardOil Bank of New
York City The Tribune has small
doubt about the size of the demand for
the magazine of that issue
Apropos of the unfortunate and regret
table public school affair of last week The
Tribune wants to paraphrase a well
known old saw by saying Be sure you
know what you are talking about and
then talk as little as possible In fact
unless you can talk with distinct sane
ness you had better not talk at all It
will be better for you and infinitely bet
ter for the public schools of the city
Many a lord of creation who might
shine delivering liver to bears has a

qases of malpractice on the human soul

even now to many a doubter as to
whether we get our deserts while
Cromwells Trust God and keep your
powder dry was anticipated by San
chos Pray to God but hammer
away Another shrewd piece of ob
servation from tho same source might
save many a tradesman from loss to
this day Ho who does not mean to
pay does not haggle about price and
the homely scrap of philosophy in
which Sancho warns the world against
stretching out the leg farther than the
sheet that covers it is as necessary and
pertinent now as it ever was London

St Louis Mo May 17 Gov Folk
of Missouri addressing tho general Bap
tist convention last night said
Lawbreaking has becomo alarmingly
common It is one of tho groatest dan
gers that confronts free government for
when all laws are ignored thero can bo
no such thing as free government
Many men obey the laws they liko
but think they biivon politicalliberty to
disobey tho laws that aro obnoxious to
them
Tho trust magnate looks with abhor
rence on tho pickpocket who violates
the larceny statute but considors it en
tirely right to break the laws against
combinations and monopolies Tho bood
ler detests tho lawbreaking of tho trusts
but considers tho law against bribery as
an infringement on his personal liborty
The dram shop keeper regards tho law
against murder as good but tho law
against operating his dram shop on Sun
day is in his opinion puritanical and
tyrannical If each citizen wero allowed
to determine for himself which laws he
considered bad tho result would bo an
anarchy wo would have no laws at all
The only safe rulo is that if tho law is
on the statute books it must bo obeyed
