Sclentlflo writers have long contended that no species of snake ever eats fish. I am In position to refute the claims of the scientists. One evening recently I was fishing In a little lake near Columbus, with. Judge Reeder as my Instructor. We had anchored our poles and were eating supper. Suddenly there was much agitation of the water near one of the poles. I ran t the spot and drew in the line. There was some thing on 'he hook, and It fought like a four-pound bass. But It wasn't a bass. It was a big black snake, about four feet long. The snake had swallowed a four Inch minnow, hook and all, and the hook had fastened In his belly a foot below his head. That's all there Is to this fish' story. Snakes do eat fish, no matter what the dentists may say. At least this one did, and so certain am I of the fact that I hall repeat the story en every occasion, as long as Judge Reeder shall stand by me, no matter If the emperor of all the fakers shall laaue an order of banishment.

A Specimen of Moral Stupefaction. OMAHA, Sept. 24. To the Editor of The Bee: If the Information given by the news papers about the matter Is correct, the offi cers of the juvenile court, or some of them, have entered upon a course of removal of families from a certain section of the city where the surroundings are such as to make a very Immoral atmosphere and vitiate the children of these families. Now, I call attention to the fact that, aU though this matter haa been publicly men tioned repeatedly. It seem not to have oc curred to anyone that the sane, sensible. legal and practicable thing to do Is to re move the evil, Instead of driving people away from It. Think of It, a large number of children. perhaps 200, subjected to that deadly moral poison, and the matter publicly dtscussed,- and everybody accepting the Idea that the only thing to do Is to try to drive away the people who have a right to stay there. and let those who have no right to a habita tion anywhere In the state of Nebraska con trol the region, and remain. No court has any more right to require these families to move than I have to go down there and drive them away with a club, because there I abundant authority for removing the evil. What a sickly and disgusting notion, that through illegal and unauthorised action of the city officers the devil ha an Indefeas ible title to a certain part of the city and a seat on the bench beside the judge of the juvenile court. t Now, perhaps, some moral mossback will read this, and set up a whine about "moral spasms."

WILL TEST INCORPORATION LAW Defect Found la Child Labor Lave Which May Render It Inef fectiveGovernment Paper. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Sept . (Special.) Early this week, probably Tuesday, th attorney general will file the suit of the state of Iowa against the Western Union Telegraph com pany for violating the law of the state by doing business In the state without first having filed with the secretary of state a certified copy ot Its articles of Incorporation. This suit, when started, will be one or tne most Important and Interesting the courts have had for many years, because or the fact that the amount Involved Is so large. The penalty Is S109 a day. In the case of the Western TJnJoh Telegraph company the total amount run Into the vicinity oi 11,000.000. In It statements to the executive council the Western Union claim to be losing money on Its Iowa business. Last year it claim It took In J28,000. and It expense were $4,000, and the year before It ex pense were 1374,000 and it receipt but S318.O0O. The Postal Telegraph company la an Iowa concern, with It article of Incorporation filed here. The policy that ha been followed by ome former official In relation to foreign cor porations may not be followed by Attorney General Byers In relation to the corporation laws. Lawyer disagree a to the meaning of the statute requiring foreign corporations to file in this state and pay the filing fee, or be subject to the penalties of $100 a day. Aa Interpreted by some, section 1637 of the code exempts all corporations doing busi ness In the state before September 1, 1886. One sentence In that section ay: "Any corporation transacting business In this state prior to the first day of Septem ber, 1888, shall be exempt from the payment of the fees required under the provision of thl section." Bom lawyer Interpret thl a a ort of Immunity hath for all corporation doing business in the state at the time the law was. passed. They interpret it that corpor ations doing business before that date not only are exempt from paying the filing fee, but are exempt from all the provisions ot the law; are exempt from filing certified copies of their article of Incorporation and from paying any fine of $100 a day If they don't. Other lawyer interpret It that while they are exempt from paying the original filing fee, they are not exempt from filing certified copies of their articles of Incorporation and are not exempt from paying the 1100 fin If they do not It 1 argued by them that the essential purpose of the law was to have on file Information concerning the corpora tion for the benefit of the citizens of the state. That in case a cltlien desired to bring action against such a corporation he ought to have some source of authoritative and official information concerning the cor Derations, their officer and pusposea, and that a cltlsen of the state haa thl right a to corporation doing business in tho state before September I, 1886. as well as to those entering the state after that date. Hale la Child Leber Lav. ' In the report of Prof. Loo of trie Iowa child labor committee to the national com mittee Just Issued, it Is stated that the one weakness In the Iowa child labor law Is the Insufficiency of proof al to the age ot a child and It Is understood that the next legislature will be asked to strengthen the law In that respect. The report states that while the weakness was known before the last legislature met, it waa thought best to ask tor no changes at that time as the law was new and It waa thought best that It have a thorough trial first The question aa to the age of a child la the one recognised difficulty In every state, according to those having Informa tion on the subject It 1 difficult for the factory Inspector to tell whether the child I telling the truth or not, and parents, otherwise very truthful, think it no crime at all to Instruct, their child to say that It la two or three years older than it is. When a factory inspector enters a factory he Is adsolutely certain to find that every child there I over 16 year old according to th word of th child and that of it parent a well. Th factory owner fall pack on the word of the child and th word of It parent, and otherwise truth ful parent will not hesitate at time to make sworn affidavit to false age aa to their children. Th .law become thus a sort of Immunity bath for th factory operator. He refers to th statement of the child or Its parent and that relieve him.

They resort to the records on file with the city clerks and often are able to find the real age of the child In that way. Practically all of the prosecutions brought have to be based on some such Information as that. In some states re sort has been had to a provision of law that requires a certificate from the city clerk or other official with whom the birth statistics are filed. This would still be an Immunity for the factory operator, but It would be quite likely to be accurate. With a law requiring that every birth be filed with the city or township clerk, and a further law, requiring that before a child can work In a factory there must be filed a certificate from the clerk giving the. date of Its birth the work of the factory In spector would be much easier and It would be possible to guard against children work ing in violation of thn age provision.
