It Wat Sallla That Gave- the Young Couple ?h Excuse for Calling, But in a Short Time They Needed No Exouee. Betty, tho secretary of our club, has ???*?! Mj pretty love story, relates the CbHygO Tribune. ? It began iu 4 mm storm. When the ruiu Waa pelting doRu its liveliest ltetty came Into tho street froiy iiu elevated road station. At the bottom of the steps stood a boy aujllug flowers. lit; hud dbly two roses left, glorious, half-blown pluk OUCS. "I'll huve those rosea, If you please," said Hetty. And, "I'll have those rosea, If you please," said another, voice at the same tliue. The other voice be longed to a man. He was a young man, and when Hetty looked up aud he looked down, both smiled. Despite the dampness of his clothes tho boy ami led too. "Well," he said, "which Of you la goln' to have 'em?" "You," said Hetty. "You spoke first." "No, you. i think you did," said the young uiAii. The boy, being a diplomat uh well as a flower seller, suggested that they "divvy up." "Why not?" said tho man. "I wanl? my roses for u friend who Is HI, and ahe can't smell but one rose at a time, now, can she?" "I suppose not," suld Hetty. "I also want my roses for a friend who Is ill, and she can't smell but one rose at n j time." So they "divvied up.'1 They left the station together, and siuce their wuys lay iu the same direction, they walked together for three blocks. Presently both turned into the same side street and both stopped at the same house in the middle of the block aud both rung' the bell of the sume llat. "Don't tell ine It is Salllo Miller that you are bringing that rose to," said Hetty Incredulously. "Sure it is," said Hetty. So they climbed the stdirs together. "Won't Sallle be surprised to see xfa coming together?" said Betty. Sallie was surprised. *' "I didn't know that you two knew each other," she said. "We don't ? we dldu't," said Betty. Then they told the story of the roses. Sallie liked the roses, but, being n sympathetic soul, she liked the story better. "I am so glad," she said. "You inutft both come ngnl*von Wednesday at "this same time. 7* . . They went away togethc-., . Their talk was mostly of Sallie. TOs'clt said how wonderful it was that the Mhcr knew Sallie. At. the corner they sep arated. "7~ "I go this way," said Hetty. "And I that," said he. "I hope we will meet again ? at Sallle's," he added. "O, yes, at Sal lie's." said Hetty. Of course they met ? at Sallle's. Their engagement is now six months old. They will be married soon. Boggs and Stewart Paid. , Harry Boggs, an accountant for the public service commission, recently was checking ug the records of the Ander son municipal electric plant, at Ander son. A campaign was .on in Anderson to raise money for a Y. M. C. A. build ing. Boggs was nppronched by commit tees and asked to' contribute. Finally lie signed a paper promising to pay $1, and opposite, he placed the name of Charley Stewart, chief clerk of the commission, in whose office at the statehouse Boggs has a desk. Bo^gs came home and waited developments. Soon Stewart was notified that his contribution to the Apdersop Y. M. O. A. was due. He didn't 'say much, but apparently did a lot of thinking. The other day he caught Boggs in the offices as another "dun" came in. Stewart opened and read the r'dup," which was more or less insistent in its tone. ' w Then he walked over to Boggs. "Lepd me a dollar, will you, HarryY" he asked. And Boggs dived into his pocket and produced the dollar. "Now I'll Jufct pay this bill for you." said Stewart.?

DEADLY SNAKES MADE STUDY "Gartfsn ?f Sorp^nt#," I A Iruril, !? MaintalMd f?r th? Production o# s?rwm.. Iinu.ll '? "Harden of Serpents" la one of the most Interesting, though to Some, repulsive Hlichta lu the world, and in maintained purely for scientific purposes. It Ik located at llutauta, ltrur.il, uuil occupies In all some 700 ucms. Here tire the laboratories which produce serums for the cftre ami pre vention of the effects of Knuke bites. The .snakes used lu preparing the scrums are kept lu a sinull park, con taining numerous dome- -shaped shel ters, which 1m surrounded by u wall and a ditch tilled with wuter. Other specimens are kept lu a aliullar park F near the main building, In order to Study their habits, favorite food, the very diverse venomous properties of various species, and tho beat method of escaping their attucks. The hot and moist forests of Brazil contain many venomous serpents, but tlio slightest noise alarms the pvaceful and tlmtd reptiles, which attack only those per-; sons and animals that tread pn them or destroy their lairs. The principal families ure the Bothrops and the Oro j tales, or' rattlesnakes. The Bothrops' ? venom decomiioses the blood and pro duces internal hemorrhage, with In tense congestion of the liver, kidneys and brain, while the venom of the Cro tales paralyzes the respiration, circu lation and vision, and usually causes death within tweuty-four hours. Kach venom requires Its speclul antidote. The laboratory heads prepare a serum for each, and also a polyvalent, or com pound serum, which Is effective against all Brazilian snake venoms, for use when the species of thp attacking snake is unknown. The serums ure ob tained from young and sound horses and asses, which receive, at Intervals of five or six days, Injections of venom, Increasing from one-twentieth milli gram to oue graui, A year's treatment Is required to produce perfect immun ity and an effective serum. The poly valent serum Is obtained by Injecting the venoms of Bothrops and Crotales alternately. The animals thus Immuu* Ized furnish antivenom scrum for a long tiiue if they receive a fresh In jection of venom after each extraction of serum. Tubes of serum, with hypo dermic syringes, are sent gratuitously to hospitals, municipalities and poor patients. Others tire sold at low prices or exchanged for live snukes. Serums for pest, dlphtherlu and tetanus also . are produced by the usual methods. Supreme Court Changes. There Is not u Mingle member of the Supreme court of President Harrison's day now serving on the bench. Twenty six years is not n long time for eon tinuity of service In the lower courts. There, are hundreds of Judges appoint ed at the age of thirty-live who are still in full mentul vigor at seventy, and not a few Oases of this kind nre to "be found in the lower federal and State courts. Even Chief Justice Widte, however, is able to point to a judicial record of only twenty-six years. He was appointed by Cleveland in February, 1804, and all the members with whom he was associated at that time have passed away. President Tutt had the honor of appointing a full majority of the Supremo court in the course of his four years in dffiee. He appointed Justices Hughes, Van I)e vanter, Lamar and Pitney. President Wilson has already made two appoint ments ? McKeynolds and Krandeis ? and now has another appointment to make. Despite all the changes that luxe tnken plucp in recent years, more ca&es were disposed of by the Supreme court during its recent , term than in fwiy other term since 1890. - A total of 547 cases were decided, while in 1800 there were 010 cases. There still re main ojj the docket 522 cases. ? Thomas F. Logan, in Leslie's Weekly. Georgia Fish Go on Spree. Walter Taylor, city clerk of Atlanta, Ga., declares that the Hah In South river should have the attention of the Humane society. They are being gross ly mistreated by the city, since the police began dumping "blind tiger" liquor in the sewers, he states. He said after a trip to the river with Oscar Cochran, manager Of the city parks, that he found the fish In a maudlin condition, due to excessive use of alcohol. Most of them were in a disgraceful state of Intoxication, and the ones that were not were fighting to get their Bhare. He says the river is rapidly becoming stocked wlthcfish from farther down the stream, coming up to get a share of the liquid* And lie adds that the Inhabitants of the region are trying to find some way to extract the alcohol without having to eat the fish, recognie Irtr that the two don't go well to gether.
