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

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

Donough, Ga., did. She says: "Three
bottles of Electric Bitters cured me of
chronic liver and stomach trouble, com
plicated with such an unhealthy con
dition of the blood that my skin turned
red as flannel. I am now practically 20
years younger than before I took Elec
