One Saturday the old man started Andy off down to Stringers’ mill, and a felonious big rain caught him on the road.

Alligators from Florida sind crocodiles from abroad, as well as some foreign snakes, are con stantly kept in stock for customers, mostly circus men. Estes is a natural snake charmer, ajid never, unless requested by his cus tomer, takes out the fangs of the ani mals In which he deals, and to this fact be attributes considerable of the success be has ha^ in raising them. He will, without fear, fondle a rattler, a bull or an adder, force open its mouth, and with his finger nail deftly exjKvse the poison sac and fangs. In all his long experience in this sort of thing he has never been bitten. His favorite method of capture is to grab the rattler by the tail and dextrously swing the snake into a sack, but when one is found lying at full length Estes grasps it : tightly back of the head. Though he has many assistants among the farmers of this vicinity, there is no other man ! in this part of the United States who | dares to open snake jaws with bare | hands as he does carelessly. His little , daughter Hazel, w ho is only eight years ) oM, seems to have the same power ovt'r Hie reptiles, and can offo.a be seen handling the most deadly snakes and allowing them to twine about herai^t.s and neck.

We gave ours to Jessie when she was married and have been using one a lawyer tbirt he had sent j that was left here three years ago and now the owner has settled down and wants it.

"F.ut woman wants It all, you know, y^And wants it right away.” JB* Mrs. Arp looked at me and 1 remarked: “I want these things for yoif and the children. It’s precious little that I want rfor myself now.” I don’t think she admires the song or the sentiment. ‘T know it, I know it, my dear," said I. "There was a time when you wanted a good deal for yourself and It pleased me to gratify your every wish and more than you asked for. Nothing was too good for you when I had the .money.

The mother wants help with the children, for I tell J'ou, my brethren, there is no care nor anx iety like nursing and earing for a lit tle child, and nobody but n mother will do it willingly. A imother who has reared eight or ten cmldren from in fancy to maturity, and four yeafos of tho time during a pitiless! war, when she Jiad to tlee from the foul invader with her little ones and hide them, half clad and always hungry, can say w ith Paul: “I hove fought a good tight; I have finished imy course.” Yes. Paul said that^but he was an old bachelor, and knew nothing of what a mother suffers. The most pathetic line in all poetry is that of Fitz-flreone llalleok, where he apostrophizes death: "Come to the mother when sh" fee’s For the first time tier firstborn's breath." Tiie death of a yofingmother in child birth is the saddest of all nature’* calamities. Maternal love—maternal interest! What is it that so inspires a woman to bear her fale—to suffer and be strong? —Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution. DOCTORING A NATIVE. PROFITABLE CYCLING. St. Loalitan Hide* a W heel to Manu facture Ice Cream. Charles A. Kleinhaus, a St. Louis cqi>- feotiouer, rides a bicycle every morn ing. not far his health and not for pleas ure, but to make ice epeam. lie has managed to convert an ordinary s.Tfcty wheel into a machine for freezing ice cream and churning butter. The com bination refutes the old adage that pleasure cannot be united with busi ness. Mr. Kleinhaus mounts the bicycle saddle every morning and while his feet work away at the pedals reads his morning paper. The machine of course is stationary and requires no use of the bands'whatever. By-the unique con- f&tztit y A Woman Traveler’s Experience Is Africa. Mrs. Mary Kingsley, in a recent enter taining article upon some of her Afri can experiences, relates her iirst at tempt at doctoring a sick native. She had observed, during a rather trying mareii which her party had been mak ing, that one of the carriers had begun to stagger and look dazed. His com rades bad relieved him of his load, and he had managed with much difficulty to keep on with the others until a vil lage was reached and a halt called for the night. She then bade his friends call in the best doctor there was in the place to at tend to fhe sufferer, and she would pay him; but shortly after one of them came to her and reported, in language which she found more comprehensible than its construction warranted: “Massa, them man he live for die.” Hastening to the hut where .the in valid lay, she found the native doctor sitting outside, covering and uncover ing a small basket, and mutteriuginean- tations—engaged, so tho awestruck ob servers informed her, in trying to find out "who had stolen one of the patient’s souls.” N Without critieuiing this theory cf the disease, the Indy tactfully explained that perhaps, if they allowed her to try, .she might effect some good while the ether doctor was completing his diag nosis—ar.d she got oat her medical book.
