Rutile to the Death In �Vhit4h Lightning 181viitneas and Muscle Were More Than a Match For Ven- omous. I{ an gs That Couldn't Strike. If -the rattlesnake is justly called the ' king of Amer'ica's woods and rocks,. yet his erowlt is not held without danger, . r t,_ Mace he is hunted diligently and success - fatly. His fangs are indeed deadly, an& he wears a tine snit of armor, but the doer and the wild hog never fail to at- tack him, and -he has an enemy of his own kind still more dangerous to hitn. Shakes may be divided into three class- es. those which are venomous. the .con- strictors and those which are neither.-. Unless the secmnd of these are tvonderful for their size they secure little of our at- tention. and yet they are generally beau- tiful in colors, Most gracefulin action and often [roto lg our best friends.

The snake ‘vas compressed into a ball, frnn the middle of whish its tattle, sounded con- tinuously. Its . blazing little eyes were fixed ueehnngingly upon those ' of the squirrel. The buzz, buzz droned on the summer air with a sleepy effect, but the squirrel scolded in an ever ascending key. But for the hint of the squirrel's eyes I cei:ld nothave located the rattler. Ills color and ,his variegated markings offered but little Contrast to his surroundings. Ibis Monotone of noise was indefinite, and to sight as well as in sound he seemed only a blur on the background of dark sand on wlhich he lay. Was the squirrel only curious to satisfy himself as to the character of 'thal strange object or was he hypnotized? have often amused myself by exciting the violent curiosity of the little animal, but never did a waving or jumping object awaken such intense and painful emotion as the rattler always demands. 1 .knew„ what must follow soon -that the squir- he 'Om law ing my the :her e, Sometimes it's pin Often extending to the shoulders, Accompanied by headache and constipa- tion.

These are some of nature's kidney danger signals that the' 'track of health is not clear. These symptoms are the forerunners of seri- .ous Kidney trouble, and you . need the "Great Kidney Medicine," Dr. Pitcher's Ba'kache Kidney Tablet, -because it deals directly with and removes the cause, faulty kidney action, and - its results. Seaforth evidence is the kind you can believe, .be- cause it is' so easy to prove, and among the many who speak of Dr. Pitcher's Backache Kidney Tablet merits is J. B. Thompson, Grain Buyer, Board of Trade, who says :- " Some years ago I hal an accident, result- ing in a back and kidney trouble. The pain was first in front, and finally shifting to the small of the back and hips. Change in the weather or exertion aggravated it. After using many things suggested, withoutre- lief, I got a bottle of Dr. Pitcher's Bacache Kidney Tablets at Robert's drug store? and found them just what Ineeded. They took hold immediately,, and, although I did not quite finish the bottle, the pain, soreness, and kidney derangement was cleared away. I am glad to endorse them."

Swift as light a form raced on stage. It was clothed in a gleaming coat of beautiful white and . black spots. It shifted and shone like a necklace of pre- cious stones, and "knew the king snake claimed a victim. • The newcomer was smaller than the rattler, its ground color was a greenish gray, and the spots scin- tillated in the sunlight which sifted down upon the scene from the tangled branches overhead. At the first rustle of its ap- proach the rattler lost all interest in the squirrel` which ran back into the tree. The fang snake held his bead high and raced round the rattler in a wide circle, while the rattler tried to slink away. The king darted forward as if to attach. and the rattler threw himself into a coil. The king was again away and racing:around with a swiftness the rattler seemed una- ble to follow with his eye. The rattler was cowed already. His crest was low- ered, his buzz, buzz was jerky and un- even, and although he presented a very different appearance from the self confi- dent arbiter of the woods which he had seemed when I first saw him I could think of nothing but some human bully surprised in the act of torturing his help- less victim and suddenly compelled to, face an adversary worthy of his strength. The king spake seemed to enjoy the situ- ation as ti cat does her cruel dallying with n mouse. ' Round end round went the king snake, tint) the rattler -followed the movement till its neck, was twisted. Whenever it ntteuapted to tura, the king would spring forward, and it was evident that the first failure of the rattler in swiftness would be the •signal for muscle to clinch with venom. The king would race from left to right and then reverse, and if the rattler failed to follow that would be the end of hitn. This happened, and 1 saw the' king in the air, but could not catch the strike so instantaneous was it. There was a confusion of flying pine needles in a cloud of white dust, and 1 saw that two inches . of the Ring's coil was about the throat of the rattler. Over and over they went, the king's bend above that of his enemy anti n curve 'of his body fisting as a buffer to keep up the motion which enabled him to take another turn and still another. And so the struggle continued till the rat- tler could not writhe freely, and he was. held as a vine wraps a tree. When be lay still, the snake began to UTacoil himself slowly, and at every mo- tion of his enemy the constrictor's folds c'ontrac'ted and crushed with killing ef- fect. Evan when there was only a quiver of the -tail the king still gripped the throat. It was plain he had a wholesome respect for the fangs that were still terri- ble. Asa last precaution the king ap- plied his nostrils to those of the rattler the A MOTHER'S KISS. hen but a child, if e'er I came to harm-- 1;'2rhaps'twas but a scratch upon my arm - I'd run to mother, and she'd always soy, "41'11 kiss it; then the pain will go away."

MORPHINE BEAT THE GAME. Tt Made n Young Gambler Quit While He Was a Winner. "l.see gambling is running wide open in Colorado again," said t cattleman of Topeka. "1 don't suppose, though, it is as wide open DOW as it was in the lute eighties. I was. in Manitou every sum- mer at that time, and the high games that used to ru a at some of the clubs would be an eye, opener to the gamblers of the present .day. Cattlemen were malc- int; money then, as were the miners, and they used to limit in Manitou and try for each other's pocketbooks, with the result that the professional gamblers got the money. „1. remember how one young fellow was made to quit a winner against his will Web.

In "Wild Animals I Havie Known" !1"a, Erirast Seton Thompson relates a ter ble experience. IIe had gone out No to a remote district on his pony to nl„c ped some wolf traps. In one of them, found a wolf and, having killed it, w engaged in resetting the trap when ilhf advertently he Sprang the next one, and his hand was caught in the massi!ce steel jaws. "I lay on my face." he says, "and stretched out my toe, hoping to draw e within reach the trap wrench, whichT had thrown down a few feet away. Wolf traps are set in fours around a buried bait and are covered with cotton and fine sand so as to be . quite invisible. In- tent on securing my wrench, I swung about my anchor, stretching and reach- ing to the utmost, unable to see just where it lay, but tr1Ysting to the sense of touch to find it. A moment later there was a sharp 'clunky, and the iron jaws of trap No. 3 closed on my left foot. "Struggle as I would, I could not re- move either trap, and there I lay stretch- ed out and securely "staked to the ground. j No one knew where I bad gone, and there was slight prospect of any one coming to the place for weeks. The full hcirror of my situation was anon me -to be de- voured by wolves or die of cold and starvation. My pony meantime stood patiently waiting to take me home.

Wolves howled in the ' distance and then came nearer._ and near- er. er. y upon on and devoured the carcass of the qne I lead slaughtered, and one of them, growing bolder, came up and snarled in..my face. "Then.there was a sudden rush and a fight among the wolves. I could not see well, and for an instant I thought my time had come when a big fellow dashed upon me. But it was Bingo, my noble dog, who rubbed his shaggy, y panting Iltln g sides against me and licked my face. He bad scattered the wolves and killed one, as 1 afterward learned. , "'Bingo, Bingo, old boy! Fetch me the trap wrench" Away he went and came dragging my rifle, forhe knew only that I wonted something. " 'No, Bingo; the trap wrench.' This time it was my sash, but at Iast he brought the wrench and wagged his tail in joy that it was right. "With difficulty, reaching out with my free hand, I unscrewed the pillar hilt.
