THE CAT AND THE 1
RATTLESNAKE
w
Not every living thing is afraid of
the rat^esnake.i One creature that j
never hesitates to attack it is the king 1
sr do . J ..mong domesticated ani- t
n*:.-re is at least one that on oc- i
cau or. cutids its ground against the <

to i tlie San Antonio, Uvalde & ?
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.

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. Mr. Benet ^
announced that he would go in the
primary immediately after the ap- s
pointment had been made. ^

I the program of the food admin,mtor
for control of sugar distribui,
which has been made necessary
j\var conditions, not by any desire
the food administration to regu>
anyone, account is taken of all
sight until January 1, 1919. 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

*1 all wholesalers and retailers
ndling sugar are placed on a strict

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.

Thomas J. l'restou,

! in a message to the
women of America,
made public
I through the Na'

, i fiih 1^-WKUe.
1 HI Mrs. Preston is
Mrs.T. J.Pceston.Jr iu;,iv*f lu tJ,e Swcur*
lty Leugue work.
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. We can win now if A titer
Oil cull ue Ill-Ill MI-IIIIIHM II11 (1 Ullswerving,
and the women of America
can hold her steadfast."
a
PUBLICITY AND CRITICISM.
ti
"Congress shall make no law *
^ abridging Hie freedom of speech or of
the press," so reads a clause In our
I Coast it ul ion.
, This is a wise provision. The cltl]V.
rem. of a deinoorney should at all
t times know of and he ahle to criticise
the management of their affairs. Inf
vestifiiI ion and criticism in the present
war have heen of great henetlt
In hastening our preparation hy pointing
out errors that have heen made.
There is no doiiht whatever that the
great safeguards In the conduct of the
war are almost unlimited publicity and
the right of criticism.
We arc told that constructive erlti
IcIkiii is always welcome, hut who Is
" to d?--hie what Is constructive? Why
" 1 not criticism without the adjective?
! Most citizens helleve that I'nlversal
i Military Training as a corrective of
" | on nts',uvparedness Would have hern
! coiivinn ti\e, and yet It was not adopt

?! when first proposed, what the
i result would htive been on this war!
If we hud hud mure publicity upon
m th.- pii'd'i tion of aeroplanes, shipping
| and o'-.h nin e, the suggestions of thinkj
lug men would iint|uestionably have
ll" ; miuiuiuted the liipidlty with which
these :?i't i. were being produced.
