Cu'f Lailway was building into Cor- t I ;ti, 'i'exas, writes a contribu- I tor, I had occasion to go down to the r lo. or .'ueces coun'ry to view our t land t ties. The line at that time ( f : . ; the cac.as and nicvquite above Odem. 1 finished :ny journey P o? h >rsebac!: and arrived at the ha- r c.enda of Eliseo Quavez in the hottest a part of the day. I A I- - ? * ' uciiui v(uiivu% nau ucen oui since l eirly dawn looking for catfle, but .. V"i3 expected home for his siesta, t Would I wait? When my horse had c been taken care of I accepted a drink li from the large vessel that hung in 5 the shade near the hou.^e. The sides 'i were porous, and the moisture that c escaned carried away the heat as it t ? evaporated, so that the water in the d vessel was remarkably cool and re- r freshing. e As I lounged in the thick shade of o the chinaberry trees, I noticed that r the yard was swept clean. For a i space of thirty feet or more, entire- e ly round the buildir.,.,, there was a sort of neutral zone, in which no -i leaf, grass, chip or stone?nothing t that could harbor insects or any other o of the country's pests?was allowed p Gazing lazily into the bright sun- s light, I was suddenly startled by the I appearance of a large rattler. Per- r haps the bare ground enhanced its size. Just as I was about to look for n ^ a weapon a big, gray house cat crawl S e l from under the little porch and, c sitting up, stretched for a yawn, not e seeing the snake. But the reptile n had seen the cat, and, gathering it- n so.f into a eoi!, it swayed its head o and trembled its cattle of warning, fi "he cat looked round, and 1 saw t that she was a mother, evidently just p coma from suckling her young. In- i* deed, she glanced from the snake is back to the hole under the porch and a twitched her tail nervously. Then p she rose, stalked over toward the s rattler and began to circle round it, c taking pains to be at some distance s from it. The snake, however, turned c its head steadily so that it always ti faced the circling cat. After the ir cat had made a number of rounds, 1 r noticed that the circles were getting smaller and that the snake, in recov- C * ering its balance when following with si its head, seemed to wabble a liLtle. >i Could it be getting dizzy? rI he cat si never took her eyes from the darting p fangs, but kept on going round and !: round. Only the waving tip of her r< tail betrayed that she was making si ready for n spring. si Then the cat leaped. In! Out! Slashing so fiercely with her claws it that she almost completely severed k the snake's head. Watching her ,\ chance, she jumped in again and a a;;a:n, until the headless body of the ir sna'.e was thrashing about convul- si sively on the bare sand. Then the d cat went under the porch. p, I had known deer to kill a rat ler ( by jumping on it with all four hoofs o! bunched to chop the venomous foe h and by springing oil" again so quickly as to avoid being hit by the fangs, tl but this was the first time I ever saw d a house cat kill a snake. Senor Quavez told me that he had heard of II a similar instance. lie thought that the presence of her kittens made the U old one willing to fight.?Youth's Companion. BENET TO SUCCEED SENATOR TILLMAN ,f ti Governor Manning appointed . Christie benet, prominent attorney of ( Columbia and close personal friend ^ and political adviser of the governor, to be the successor to the late United " States Senator B. R. Tillman. In that si the vacancv extends throuirh annroxi- ? mutely eight months and as an ap- t| pointee by the governor could hold but six month, Mr. Bcnet will go be- ^ fore the people and ask for the ^ short term nomination.

Tht tement is made that there is jugh sugar to supply every need if rules are strictly arra conscien:it??y followed by the home consuniEvery other consumer of sugai *1 all wholesalers and retailers ndling sugar are placed on a strict : ioning system. The home con ihinr i? donorwled unon to enforce J..~. ? ?, I* rationing system upon himself )e only alternative would be a c.irc $itom for every household in A me fca and for that reason it would b l*igerous to hoard sugar. The government through the foo ^ministration calls on all to limi fnsumption of sugar in their home t three pounds per person pe tonth. The grocer is permitted t ay sugar only on this basis If an he family consumes sugar at a rat ireater than threo pounds per pel jn per month, some one else is then ore deprived of their proportional upply. It is absolutely necessar hat the rule be conscientiously fo owed. Three pounds per month per pe on is the rate of consumption. Tl Tocer must not sell more than tv tounds at one time, for ordinary us o a person living in a city or tow lot more than live pounds at a tin o persons living in rural sections. As has been stated, 25 pounds m: >e secured, for canning, upon tl igning of a certificate, which tl rrocer has, pledging that the sug turchased will be used for cannii >urposes only. If 25 pounds is n mough, consent of the county fo< idministratoi* must be secured to pi rure a larger supply. w.s.s. The Government needs your mc iy; you need the aUmps. I'M " ' 1 II I 11 '* ?

She was the lirst woman to become u member of the League's National Kiecutive Committee, and is secretary of the League's Committee on Patriotism Tlirough education. Mrs. Preston's message to the women of tiie country reads in full: "Proclaim Liberty." "Proclaim Liberty throughout ALL 11 IK LAND unto ail the inhabitants I hereof.' T hese wolds were written about I i*.?o years before Christ, as part of the Law of Holiness in the Look of Leviticus. Our fathers Inscribed them upon the Liberty Hell which culled our mighty nation into life. "Today 'all the inhabitants' enjoy liberty, ihe .low ami the Gentile, the rii-h ami the |mur, the native ant) tiie alien-horn, the weak and the strong. The old Liberty Hell is silent, for it* voire has been heard 'throughout all the Intnl.' "Hut Liberty is not safe. It is menaced along the battle fronts of many nations, our own among them, and America requires a new motto for her obi Hell : 'Proclaim liberty throughout ALL LANI>S unto till the Inhabitants thereof.' I'ntil liberty Is sufe in afl lands, it run not be safe in our own. Hence the task to which America has reverently und unselfishly dedicated herself. "Make Motto Real." "The fathers of this Republic, men of many races, with a common love of liberty, wrought into law our ancient motto, thus giving liberty* u chance to enlighten the world. "Today we, their deseendents, are called upon to make real the new motto, and thus to give liberty the undisputed right to bless Die world. "This can be don? but only after heroic struggle and self-saeritice. A : premature pence would mean failure. It would lie only less disastrous than Complete defeat. Against all temptations to compromise the women of r America should stand firm and united. "Peace and Safety." "Victory means peace and safety for our children; defeat means humiliation and practical servitude for tln ni; while a negotiated peace, with V the military machine of Prussia unbroken, means that everything in their lives must be subordinated to the task I of preparing for another war with Germany.
