agrees to have the money for Heppner

of this matter they cau now turn their
attention towards opening a street to the

THE MAN Mil THE SNAKES LIVED
To Tell the Tale, bat the Other has Long
Since Paused to the Beyond.
Nearly flverv Hennnerits knows T. A.
Tlollabaugh, the jolly representative of
The Bowers Rubber Co. Not long since
be visited this place, and it was during
this visit that he related to our reporter
the best, old-fashioned snake story that
the tall-complexioued scribbler has ever
heard.
"I am uow about 27 years old," re
marked Mr. Hollabaugb, "but I look ten
years older than that, don't I. What
was the oause of it? Well, now I know
you boys will be incredulous if I should
tell you, but what I am going to relate
is a positive fact, and one that I can
substantiate any time. Not neoeBsary?
All right then, so here goes.
"I wus born near Mansfield, Ohio, and
in my younger days attended school in
a little red tohool bouse about four
miles from town. It was not a very
fancy struoture but it was big enough to
bold me and a lot more tow-headed
youngsters. It was here where I went
from "ah" to "balcony" in McGuffy's
spelling-book. Being a youngster,
was not badly needed on the farm during
the summer season, and attended sub
scription school at the afore-mentioned
school house. It was pretty dull, too,
I tell you, but there was one redeeming
feature in the surroundings. It was
near a little hollow which was well
wooded, and in this we spent many a
happy hour. But the little girls rarely
ever ventured out iu that direction
owing to the fact that a little stream
which wended its way down the hollow
was Bimply lined with water snakes
great, big 'pided' fellows, but as harm
less as doves. Yet they were ugly
looking but knowing that they were not
dangerous led us to play occasional
pranks on the girls and our tall school
mu'm. We have frequently, and I iu
particular, chased all the females off the
school ground with oue of those big
water snakes, and it was no uncommon
thing to see n sunke wriggle out from
under some boys coat right in 'books1
aud run across the floor, to the con
sternation of the girls, aud sometimes to
he joker, if he could be npprebeuded,
for our teacher was au adept in the
'llckiu' aud liirniu' ' prooess.
"lint I think 1 got payed baok in my
own coin for all the pranks I played
Near the head of this hollow I have
mentioned, was a flue spring, whose cool
waters formed the greater part of the
branch below. It was from here that
water was curried in all seasons of the
year to quench the thirst of the school,
aud everyoue knows that a sohool house
is the thirstiest place on earth. We
boys, had a fashion kuowu to all young
sters of lying down, fnoe downward, and
driuking out of the spring. While it
was not the most elegant way in the
world to take a drink out of a spring,
Bnyoue who has had the experience will
testify to the fact that there ia a sort of
a faoination about it nut to be overlooked
by a buy. But in our case, it was more
or less a case of ueoessity for the long-
handled gourd brought to the spring at
the btginning of the term was, in an
unlucky moment, used to 'bat' some
fellow over the head.
"During the fall of my eleventh year
I began to experience very peouliar
sensations iu my stomach. 1 bad a
ravenous appetite aud au unquenchable
thirst, aud if I wus wituout water even
so much as au hour I experienced a
choking sensation which wus terrible.
I have awakened many a night more
dead thuu alive, aud it seemed that I
would go mad till I could get water.
Icoutiuuedto grow worse; at times I
oould feel somethiug apparently turning
and twisting around iu my stomach.
Aud oue day the following spring I had
oocaaiou to visit the old spring. A
huge suake weut wallowing ill into it
und then it struck me that that
was
what was in my stomach, lhe morel
thought ot it the more I was satisfied ot
it. The beads of perspiration oame out
all over me, aud I grew sick.
"The following summer my parents
had me consult a physician, and when
I imparted to him my diagnosis of my

doubtless drank the snake in the spring

It was somet ime befote I recovered
entirely, but here I am in good health, a

SWALLOWED A LIZARD.
"When I was railroading down on
the O. & C, said our friend, Cash
ier Conser, to a party ot friends
not long ago, "I ran up against an un
usual tbing, and, 'by george,' it's a faot,

A Loner Dinner.
' George IV. asked Dr. Gregory what
was the longest sederunt after dinner
that he had ever heard of on credible
authority. The doctor answered: "The
longest I know of was at the house of
a learned Scottish judge, Lord Newton.
A gentleman called at his house, in
York place, Edinburgh, at a late hour,
and was informed that his lordship was
at dinner. Next day the same gentle
man called at an early hour, and, being
again informed that the judge was at
dinner, expressed surprise that the din
ner of that day should be so much
earlier than the dinner of the day be

THE OPEN SWITCH.
AN ESTABLISHED BAFEQUABD.
Anybody who travels by cars knows what
is meant by "an open switch." It is the
terror of railroad men, and the dread of the
traveler. Its victims killed, horribly man
gled or maimed for life are numbered by
the score each year.
Yet even the dreaded "open switch " is not
so widely fatal as is a certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.
It is Heart Diteaact " But," you reply, con
fidently, "I haven't any heart disease my
heart is all right." Are you SURE ?
Dr. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind., the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor
ders of the heart are as common as those of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsuspected. The reason peo
ple are not aware of this important fact ia
because symptoms of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, l it are attributed to some other
source. It' ymi have shortness of breath,
fluttering or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or (mothering

"1 had been troubled with heart disease

at times scarcely feel it, excitement would

impending death stared me in the face for
