Uncle Sam's forestry service is ever on the watch against rattlesnakes in the national forests. Arrangements were some time ago perfected for the arming of forest ollicers and fire-fight ers against snake bites. The weapon provided for them is a small combination tool conthining a sharp steel lancet and a receptacle to hold perhuanganate of potash, which Is declared to Ve the best antidote for snake bites. This remedy may not be altogether popular in districts where from time immemorial the old-time favorite remedy, shisky, is held. to have no equal, but, nevertheless, ihe official sanction has been given Per manganate. The necessity for furnishing forest officers with adequate means of pro tection against attacks ly snakes has time and again been strikingly demon strated in the case of big forest hires. After the fires were thought extin guished and the men 'withdrawn it was discovered that the fire had broken out again. Squads of men were dispatched immediately to ight them and on their way they ran into a regiment or two of rattlesnakes. Iti one case it seemed as if tihe brush was literally alive with snakes. The men consunied the greater part of six hours fighting snakes be fore they could get through.to the fire. Several of the men were bitten. Officials of the forestry service as sert that rattlesnakes are as plentiful in Montana as in southern California forests and lit sections of the southern Appalachians, acquired in 1915 under the Weeks law. The little tool with which the forest guards are armed can be carried con veniently lit the vest pocket, being only a trifle larger than an ordinary fountain ieit and not aq long. Indi vidual emptoyees of tihe United States Geologleat Survey have been using these little tools for a long time and with great suvcess. Field parties of geol'ogists frequently run across snakes. If armed with these vest pocket first-ald Instruments, a hitten man quicklytopens up the wound with the lancet, thakes in a lit tle of the antidote and reshues his work, appar(pitly none the worse for the attack. Timber survey crew~s of the forestry service frequently battle with snakes. It is believed that they have the worst tiue of all in this relation. A Troubled Qonscience. A Norwegian, John Larson by name, a lumberman had a couple of Swedes working for him. One day one of the Swetes got a little fresh and the Norwegian threw himt into the river. Then the other Swede got into an ar gument with him, and he, too, went into the river and was drowned. In about six years John's con science began to bother him. He went down to the sherlif, Ole Oleson, and said: "Ola, sax yar ago Ay kill a couple Swides, aund mty conscience is begin to bother. Whait skoll Ay do?" "Veil, I dunnto, John. Ay bane shieif only 18 months and dlunno the rules. Yout bette- go and see Knaute Nelson, the county clerk. Maybe lie know wvhat to do." So .Johnt proceedhed to the county clerk's oflic'e, aind there unloaded his troublqd maind. Knute, after hearing the ~story, took down ai big book, rushed t hrough its paes then took dIown tanothier- book, and studied it. F'inatlly, looking a bit puzzled, hie sipoke uli: "T1here ain't no htounty on them," lie said.-xhtange. Alarming. A c'ertin ac(tor who shall bte name less her'te bult who has been known for his maltim onial adv'entures, one dlay approaceheld a phiysieian and asked for a thloroughm physical examination.

"IH-m-mn," muttttered the examiner as lhe putt tihe slefthoseop~e to the a('tor's heart. "Of course this llfth laidy is the only girl int thte worldl for you, and1( this ia positively your last matrimonial ventulitta?" ''Oh, coe doctor," criedl the thespian, much alarmted.
