Tragio Story of a Snake Charmer and Her Pet Reptile. Miss X.. a snake charmer weil known among show people. Brmly be lieved that one or Der snaties was reallv fond of her. She could do any thing with it fondle It. kiss and ca ress It. . She jtrew ao fond of it that at last she even let It sleep on ber bed. to the creat disgust of the other performers In the show. She would eat uer meui t with this horrible thing colled around i l her neck, and ouce. lu very warm weather, she took It under her tont into the woods with her and let it innuse Itself by crawliug over the round She followed it about and kept a most careful watch over it 'it was a valuable performer), but it showed no disposition to no oft into I lie woods, as' she feur-d Jt might, out cniue luK'k.to her nud coiled round her as usual. . She was warned' several tlmts Th:t the rop'lle was very dangerous but sln grew mure nud uuiie reckless, and (lie snake appeared ' to become more and more attached .to her And then one day without any warn ing, directly after n performance when she wus caressing It In her owu room, the snake . suddenly threw back its bend, looked' nt her steadily and with UghtnluB-like swiftness struck her be tween the eyes, leaving two tiny punc tures. ' She hastily uncoiled It and thrust it . into its box,, but she dlejl within half an nour. wtuui. zlue. , '' whom was Frances. Iler nttructlous must have been considerable. The young woman had several love aJTalrs, ( but certainly the one that had a most amusing termination was her flirta tion with her father's chaplain, Jerry White. One day the protector surprised Jer ry on his knees In the very act of kissing the lady's hand. Cromwell coldly demanded the meaning of the scene, and Jerry, with a pretty wit, exclaimed that be had long been courting "that youug gentlewoman, my lady's woman." although without success, lie was now thereby uunibly praying her ladyship to Intercede for him. Cromwell turned at once to the wait ing woman and requested to .be in formed why she refused the honor his friend. Mr. White, would do her. The Toutis woman, fully euual to the oc casion, replied magna alinously that if Mr. White Intended her that honor she would not be so churlish as to deny him. ' "Call Godwin," returned Crom well, and the pair were married straightway. ' 5 POUND TIN TOPS CAR LOAD RECEIVED George Palmer lumber Co. Retail Dept. Phone, Main 8 '.' . '-." ,. ' A HASTY MARRIAGE.

A few davs ago it waa'flrmly believed that the arrest of an insane man at nnker had ; cleared the mystery sur rounding the killing of the Holzman E-iri in Portland, but now it has been fltBcovered that the Coble murder ana the Hill atrocity were don by the same villianous hands. Of interest in this connection is a, recent Baiter pa per article telling of how certain the officials, in their anxiety to bring am tn the helDlss Portland polce: ' If the deductions of Sheriff Charles Collter, of Grant county, in the case of Klmer Hardy, says the Baker Demo crat, whom the sheriff yesterday took to the insane asylum at Salem prove true then the man in hl3 custody, who has1 been adjudged hoptossly insane,! was responsible for the death of lit tle Barbara Holzman, who was brutal ly murdered in a rooming house In Portland on March 14th, last , ' :. Sheriff Collier was in this city with Hardy Monday evening, and with the man in custodyintended to stop in Portland yes'erday for the 'purpose of having Mrs. Russell, the woman who conducted th,e boarding nouse wuiiu , imi' wai committed go to Salem for thepurpose ot identifying Hardy If possible, as the man who rented tne room In her house where the terrible crime was committed. . .- The : description the women gave of the man who killed the little , girl fits - Hardy exactly. -.Tall,, flllnv and with a whitish complexion, these de tnila coincide exactly. Added to this his resemblance to the description of the murderer Is the fact that Haray t is known to have, bet n in Portland ' when the murder occurred, as he ' wrote letters from that city in March In regard to some property b held In Grant county. Further than tnat since his mental trouble has taken a turn for the wore he has talked of the crime continually, seeming to have jlttle else on hi mind.

The raoids on the Hodzu river neat Kyoto must fill even the most blase ot tourists with excitement. A train from Kyoto climbs slowly and painfully up ward until finally it deposits its pas sengers at a quaint little siding. From here, snys fhe Wide World Magazine, one goes to the river bank and embarks in a rude, flat bottomed boat, which is pushed out by four men into the middle of a brond river, reed edged and sleepy. For a few minutes one glides dream tlv nlone: then, rounding a curve, one suddenly hears the roar of water, and the boat tears down n rapid, just miss ing the rocks on each side. The high banks race tiast. death appears immi nent, and then, with one mad swirl, it is all over and the boat is on the quiet unruffled stream once more. This happens again and again foi about nil hour. At first one's whole mind Is filled with the conviction that an accident must happen, but gradu ally comes a delicious feeling of safety as one notes the marvelous skill these men show In piloting the boat through the seething rapids and one is able to appreciate the beauty of the scene.'
