British Government Will

" l.tXUUN, Ann. -U'i The
"s I'ritish government decided to
take energetic measures to prevent
the recurrcniT of the Arab-Jewish
troubles whirli have lorn Pales
tince since Kriday, it was reliably
' .reported here last night. The
decision was taken after a con
ference between Cliayim W'esy
liiiinn, president of the Zionisi
executive and Lord 1'assl'ield. fnr-

": the doiuinions.
; .Meanwhile repercussions of the
, disturbances were heard on every
, hand, with moat of the press
' i-eeiiiK danger in them to u large
: section of the empire. The Lon
don Times broke its editorial si
lence on the matter to say, after
t characterizing the fighting as "the
. outcome of a premeditated and or
; ganlzed movement." '
Our plain duties in Palestine
ire firmness and decision. Pales
v, . tine is a test ease. If we hesi
tate or change our accepted policy
there we should soon have greater
I dangers confronting us elsewhere.

i scarcely able to walk, made friends
j wit h their sovereign, the King
Snake, ami all his subjects, from
tlie villainous rattler to that lowly
i jester, the carter snake,
j It is a little difficult for Henry.

tiie instinctive fear that prompts
the ordinary individual to recoil
from the limbless reptile, lie ncv-
; or felt It. he admits, as long as he
can remember. n the contrary,
i the poor crawling creatures not
j only had his sympathy, but held ;
genuine fascination for him.
Not only has the local boy mad--i
friends of the snakes with which
he has come in contact, but. being
a true ambassador in their king
dom, he attempts in his cjulet way
to alleviate the fear of them that
i he meets in the eyes of his frlendj.
j by allowing them to witness tins
I very unusual speetahle:
! In a large caged yard, he keeps
i a limited portion of the snake
kingdom as a means nf seiontifii
siuuy
Here the varieolored rep-
J tiles crawl and bask luxuriantly i i
ithe sun. There is -in a special
cage of his own, within the yard
the ratller. which Henry picks up
between his thumb and forefinger
at the base of the head and strokes
assuringly, until it ceases its f irnt
fit of rattling and hissing and b-
! comes friendly. In with the ruf -
tier are baby boas and garfr
; snakes.
j There is the Kubber Ho a1, a long
! sluggish snake with eliptical eyes
that in the daytime appear to be
; nothing more than slits, but at
I night expand to an uncanny all -

j outskirts of the yard, kefpiug ab'of
from t he more common variety.
This serpent, over six feet long,
is a native of Texas and was pre
sented to Henry by the local Shrine
organization. A coat of slate blue
scales, that under certain lights be
come almost irri descent, is made
m or,, st ri king w hen the snake 's
picked up from the ground and
discloses a six-foot stretch of conl
coloring underneath.
Then there is the Pull snake,
which sometime eats other, small-
or ones, but is satisfied by live
mice, fish and other prey brought
to him by his master. In a sepa
rate throne room, the King snake
, holds forth in robes that match the
j zebra's coat. He is given the dig-
nfty of a separate com part men t,
t' not so much on account of his sov
1 ereign prestige, says Henry, but
! because, like some of the ancient
i rulers of barbarous kingdoms, he.
in a fit of temperament, is given
to swallowing the subjects of his
dominion.
I'eeausc he is a scientist at heart,
j Henry is not interested only in tho
living snake, but preserves them
i after they pass out of their so,nlrm
jlng. writhing existence. He has a
.whole shelf full of Jars In the ga
j rage, and here the more reticent
j members of the human family can
j view interesting specimens of
; "pickled snakedom." In this col
:' lection is the poisonous eoppoer-
head, the rattler, a large king
i snake, a bull snake and a boa.
i Horned toads from the desert of
j New Mexico are also living happily
! under the tender care of 'I he Mcd
: ford boy, as are varioiiH natlonat
, it ies of lizards, t urt les and other
I unusual creatures. To Henry's
younger brother and sisters, the
; snakes and their companions nre
j pets, but to Henry they are other
i beings, whose language ami cus-
toiiis t re interesting, and more
easily-comprehensible than are our
own. if only one has the patience
to study them.
