DM yon vor bear of ratftlesnaie fencenot ou ruado of rntttofinaTtefi. of eonrse net, but ouo made of prickly thorns to prottiet one froiri tho rattlors and keep tliem away? Thnt l what the Arizona .tampers build, and the only M-ay to Iwop those deadly polaon ers away Is ty building one of theto fences of okteit, a shrub covered with thorns which prows on the desert. As the tents have no doors and are not set much above the ground, it would appear ir,y for' Sir. Kuttlor to effect an entrance. Imagine the sensa tion of crawling Into bed Home cold nlf?ht to strike against the clammy skin of a snake, and this Is Just where Sir. 'Snake likes to snuggle, In among the warm blankets. To avoid this men who work In the mines have found that n snake will not go near this ok lea, and they have built closely knit fences around their tents, Willi little pates to go in and out, and beyond t.'iis the rattler will not penetrate. Tt was first the In dians of the desert who discovered this deadly shrub, and they got the secret from birds and animals, which, to pro tect their young, travel sometimes many miles back and forth, bringing tho thorns with wbich to cover their little nests. Gophert and other small animals thcro covey their nests In this manner. It Is strange that In that country, so dry and forbidding, inany things grow In exuberance, and especially noticea blo are tho groat Add"! of Brown Eyed Susans, the yellow daisies with thr brown centers. Tliey grow so hbrh and wild that you can step in a field and your head will .Junt peep over thw top of the nodding rca of bright eyed faces. Los Angeles Times noil It Poyvp-! It Is the nhort piece, be It letter or editorial, that catcher, the reader, and correspondents who wSrIi their' letters to be read should norvr extend them beyond a quarter of a column, and half that length is preferable. Condensa tion Is an art. but It can be ae-piL-eil with a little practice. Never try to see how long you can make your ar ticle, but how short. Use never a superfluous sentence or word. Do as brief as an intelligible ntwiemrut of the case will allow and you will have ten readers where the oag untitled fallow will kare ene. Rlefcmn4 liipteli.

It Is always better to throw a bou quet than a pickle. The friends who flatter us are the ones we say "understand" us. Nobody knows much, but everybody should know enough not to go to law'. If you have a good opinion of your self and winh others to have It, keep It to yourself. No use talking, It is very hard to fee! Just right toward a friend after you have heard hlin praise your ene my.
