To/her surprise, in the coop was a large king snake busily engaged in devouring biddies right and left. Mrs. Long returned to the house and a^oke Mr. Long who with her went out to kill the snake. On the'r arrival at the coo'p the reptile had disappeared. A search about the premises we.j made but with no results. They returned to the house to await developments. In two or three minutes the hen and biddies set up another racket. Returning they found the snake l>ack on the job with the mother hen bravely pecking him with all her strength. The snake was routed from the coop and with a well directed blow from a garden^ rake in the hands of Mr. Long "his honor" was sent "weht" After the intruder had been killed two of the biddies were forced out kt the mouth. A Jhird dfie had been killed but not eaten, thus leaving eight out of tlae flock of 11. The. snake measure ed 42 inches in length and was of Si black and white-spotted color. If the depredations of the snake are to continue in this section we would suggest that Mr. W. Frank Nesbit, of Jacksonham, make application for a patent oil his new model snake trap recently devised and arrange for its manufacture so that .the poultry fanciers may have its advantages before it is too late.

S. Great. Honor to Washington and Lincoln ( is being shown by inorc than 1,000,000 people a year. Washington's j homo. Mount Vernon, the mecca. of virtually all Americans and foreigners who come to Washington, is being j rivaled as a shrine by the beautiful Lincoln memorial, while the Washing- ; ton monument is the most popular j of the three shrines. Visitors numbering 34,112 went dur- , ing July to the top of the Washington monument, conveniently located a few hundred yards south of the White House. More than one-flfth or them clambered lip the 898 steps in order to see the memorial tablets on the various landings inside the shaft. The remainder rode to the top in the electric elevator which has a capacity of 35 persona. More than 5,250,000 people have visited the top of the monument since it wasvopened for observation purposes October 9, 1888. No entrance fee is charged. The Lincoln memorial, recently completed and opened to the public was visited by 31,383 persons during * July. Located in Potomac park directly west of the Washington monu- 1 inent it is rather inaccessible for pedestrians: visitors usually go there by automobile. On a recent Sunday 2,| 000 persons were recorded as entering the great building. It is rapidly bef coming a shrine for touhsts. No enI trance fee is charged. General George Washington's old home at Mount Vernon on the Potomac river in Virginia, 16 miles from Washington, long has been the meeca of pilgrims from every part of the world, who go by steamboat, electric train and automobiles. Kept as nearly in its original state as possible by the Ladies' Mount Vernon association it is a delight to all Americans. During July approximately 29,000 persons visited Mount Vernon ami during the ^fiscal year admissions numbered 236,000. A 25-cent entrance fee helps to keep the estate in first-class condition. ? I The house where Abraham Lincoln died, located opposite Ford's theatre at 516 Tenth street. Northwest, this city, is another shrine visited by many tourists. It was bought by the United States in 1896 for $30,000. REFORM IS COMING Dizzy Dancos Are Rapidly Going Out of Fashion. 1 Dancing is on probation in the United States. Either those who love the art will reform it from the inside, or it will be prohibited by law in every state exactly as the use of liquor has been pro hibitcd. That is the opinion of Mrs.. P. F. Warington, of Wabash, Ind., a member of the National Dancing Masters association, who was commissioned by the recent convention held, in New York to investigate the methods by which the reforms decided on at the regent convention could he made most effective. She has returned from a trip which took in most of the larger cities of the country. Reform in dancing already has been initiated she said. As an instance she recited the fact that in San Francisco where most of the dances which have caused public protest originated, there no longer is in evidence any of the steps which can be,criticiz-? ed. But, wonder of wonders, she also insisted that in New York every third dance in the public halls is the "old fashioned" waltz. In certain places?she ays that-they are mostly the smaller cities?the tendency to "jiggle and jerk" the body remains. But that is more or less incidental, in her opinion, and will/be wiped out when it no longer is raanI ionablc. The various dancing masters have decided that if the tango of this character continues, public opinion will be so great as to injure dancing. So there will be no more such dancing on public dancing floors of participants REG, U.S. MO s nw i CORRECl COMPLE1 STANDAI , ??T swaying their bodies while their feet seemingly are glued to the fly>r. t For the first time in the hfMpiT tlfcre will be a complete understanding fimong the dance teachers so thftt 'naughty" dan cm will be cut from the programs. * In Mrs. Warington's opinion the teachers themselves have been to blame, but she believes that hereafter iney win ut? auie 10 cumui i??vition and see that their pupils understand that unless the dancing is reformed by those \Wio love i", the blue A LIVE SCHEME FOB SAVING IT'S AN OLD SCHEME, but it's still very much alive.
