With us the rattlesnake Is the moot dreaded of reptiles, but out there they have what they call the Gila ntonater, that la more terrible than the rattler. Its bite la almost certain death, and men have been known to end their lives with a revolver rather than endure the agony resulting from a Gila bite. When I went out there 1 tad never heard of a Gila, but after I had neen one and Ita effect I never wanted to see another. One afternoon while riding past a Chicago, April 1.

The true story of the dog's cold noe has been h.imird down tj u iM- 9;-s from the log book of the ark." :. a sailor In the New Yo-k Times. "Mrs. Noah went down one morning to the potato bin In the lower hold for the vegetables required for the noonday meal. Her favorite collie dog, Nip. fol lowed her, ks was his dally custom While Mrs. Noah was sorting out the tubers the ark collided with a small sng, which punctured a srnr.li hole iu i?r side close to where thr lady stood. Seeing that Immediate notion was nec essary, she took oit her woolen petti coat and apron nnd stit.ttxl them iutu the hole, but tlie pressure of the watf forced the thiuirs out, and so she pnt them back .aiu ami sat ou t jem, cull Ing louuly for a.:tauce. LU:t no one seemed to heur her, as the animals were mr.kiug such a uoUe. In her po sition she leaned back so that the backs of her arms were pressed t:p against the cold sides of the vessel; hence the bncks of women's arms nre always cold. The water was coming in fast and she began to fear for the safety of the ark, so she Jumped up and, grabbing 'Nip, put his nose into the hole ami bade him stay there uutll she went to the fore hatch nud shout ed for help. A carpenter's mate heard ber and came down Into the hold with a soft plue plug, released poor Nip and stopped the leak. The water outside was very cold, and Nip got a cold nose, and hence all healthy dogs bare a cold nose." j had no heart for the work. The man rode on to a saloon farther up the road. where he dtsmouuted and went Inside. I have never felt so ashamed of my elf for omitting to do what honor seemed to call for as In this case. In the east I would not hesitate to protect a lady from a ruitian, yet here was a woman whose child had been purpose ly trampled before her eyes, and I did not raise a hand to avenge her. But what could I do? Any Interference on my part must result either In my death or that of the man who had committed the outrage. I reported the matter to the owner of the ranch, who told tue that the boy's father was lu his employ and was then away herding cuttle. There was a feud between him mi.; the mau, a worthless and dentHMto vagabond who had Dipvd LabaUra. The word "lobster" a a slang term of ridicule and opprobrium la generally regarded aa -of recent origin. On the contrary, It would seem to go back at least to the seventeenth century. Id John Baldwin Buck stone's play, "The ureeo HUabes," produced In Loudon alwnt seventy years ago, the ecenea are laid at the time of the Irish rebel lion of 179,1 One of the characters mentions the English soldiers derisive ly as "lobsters," referring no doubt to the uniforms of the "redeoata." Eden IhllIpotts In his novel. "The Farm of the Dagger." published last year, makes an Amcrlcau prisoner of the war of 1812 speak of the British sol. dlers as "lobsters." A fanciful etymoh ogtst might easily Oud a connection be tween the present day slang use of "lobster" and the sixteenth century word "lob," denotlug a sluggish and Biupia person, which occurs In Shake speare and contemporary plays and poems, usually aa a synonym for "lub ber." But the earliest known Instance of the derisive use of the slang term Is the coupling of "lobsters and tatterde malions," meaning soldiers and va ranta, by Tom Brown (1073-17W). Brown Is the satirist who made the much qnoted Impromptu adaptation of an epigram by Martial, directing It against bis Instructor and beginning, "I do not like thee, Dr. Fell."-riilt. delphla Press. Til Draaiiataa; of Groaaa. Who has not heard the drumming of raffed grouse while In the woods dur ing the spring months? It la Uie most common sound of wooing, heard from every thicket at every hour of the day. There is still a misconception as to how the dramming Is done. The general be lief Is that the bird produces the sounl by working Its wings rapidly, using them to strike Ita body or a log. It is true that the ruffed grouse, like most chickens, flaps Its wings In the excite ment of Its lore song, bat that the dramming is produced in that manner Is a myth. I have often watched a cock which, standing on a log and drumming for dear life, apparently did not more a feather, though I must state that the drumming was not so loud as If the wings bad been flapped. Flapping the wings evidently fills with air tho lungs and throat of the bird. Order Y our Calendar for 1906 OF The J. S. Dellinger Co.

In these hells, according to the sculptures of the Buddhist temples, men are ground to powder and their dust turned Into ants and fleas and spiders. They are pestled In a mortar.

Boiling water shall be poured on their heads and on their skins, and they shall be beaten with maces of Iron." In the Scandinavian mythology, the mythology of Odin nnd Thor, we are j told that 'In Nastrond there Is a vast and direful structure, with doors that face the north. It Is formed entirely of the backs of serpents, wattled to gether like wlckerwork. But the ser pents' beads are turned toward the In side of the ball, and they continually send forth floods of venom, In which wade all those who commit murder or forswear themselves."

"And if the father falls there will be two victims lustead of one," I re marked. "Ve can't help that out here," re plied my informant. "There's too little law to cover such cases." The next morning while riding over the plain I came upon the child's moth er. Mie earned a stick and a coarse bag and was evidently looking for something. I did not see her face, for her back was turned. Suddenly I saw her raise the stick and strike at some thing on the ground. In a few mo ments she picked up what resembled a young alligator, holding It by the tip of the tail, dropped It lu the bag, tied up the bag's mouth aud carried her burden away, holding it apart from her. Then she turned and came toward me. I would have liked to ask her what she had been about, bat there was a look In her face .that decided me not to question her, and she passed on without Beemlng to be aware of my presence. Curiosity got the better of me, and I turned and followed her. She went to the saloon up the road, and before reaching It I saw a man asleep on the porch, though I could not see who he was. The woman drew near him stealthily, pausing occasionally, with her eye fixed on him, till at last, com ing upon him from a point where ho could not see her, she untied the mouth of ber bag, held It above him, and the alligator thing It contained fell on bis breast. The man started up and on seeing what had awakened him gave a cry as piercing, as full of despair, as bad been given by the woman when her child was run down. I saw him strug gling with something that had fastened upon one of his hands and finally throw hit from him. It crawled away, and saw it no more. The woman turned and walked toward her home. I had seen the dreaded Gila monster. The woman had learned that her ene my was asleep on the saloon porch and, going out on the plain, had found una. vviien attacked the monster feigned to be dead. She had therefore no difficulty In carrying out her pur pose. Hhe knew that when her hus band returned the man who had run down bis child would expect to die or kill his adversary. Her husband, net knowing of the outrage, would be taken unawares. She had resolved on her own method of foiling their enemy and avenging ber child. I was surprised to learn that 9ie child had not been killed. It had not seemed to me that there was one chance In a thousand for Its surrlral. Perhaps It was that the horse one of the noblest and kindest of dumb brutes tried not to touch It; perhaps It was good luck; perhaps an Interposition of Divine Prorldence. Be this as It may. the child, though severely Injured, lived. Bat the man who had sought to kill lfr-day after day, night after nhrht. we heard the maniacal cries In his de lirium and agony.
