A Snake Story. Here is a snake story from a Bechuanaland paper which we do not remember having seen before. A Barberton man, who goes to church regularly, was one day walking along the banks of Concession Creek eating a sandwich, and on account of the usual disparity between meat and bread he threw the redundant piece into the wa- 1 ter. Immediately a swarm of yellow fish ' bubbled around it, lighting for the ' mouthful. The man searched his pock- ( ets for fishing tackle, but all in vain, ( and was just beginning to die of de- . spair, when his eye lighted on a black t snake. > At that moment he remembered how ’ his father used to tell him that black ' snakes were scry expert in catching fish. He therefore grabbed the reptile by the tail, carried it to the river, and held it over the struggling fish. The snake proved itself a born angler, and In the course of an hour the man had 1 captured forty fish. A few days later, ■ as he was walking in the same place. • he felt something rub against ids leg. j and looking down he saw his friend ( the black snake, eager for more sport. — ( Rangoon (Burmah) Times. i After living to be 90 years old, a Chicago woman committed suicide recently. ’ IN DESPAIR.

Inflammatory and ulcerative conditions at the neck of the womb can produce all the above symptoms in the same person. In fact, there is hardly a part of the body that can escape those sympathetic pains and aches.

LIVES DASHED OUT. NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY SWEPT BY A CYCLONE. More than a Dozen Little Villages Suffer by the Sweep of the DestroyerCherry Hill Annihilated—Financial Loss Is Enormous—Niue Are Hurt. Nine Killed and Many Hurt. New York and New Jersey were swept by a death-dealing cyclone Saturday afternoon. Nine persons are known to have been killed and scores were hurt. One of the dead, Mrs. Louisa Ketrequin, was killed in East New York. All of the other victims lived in and about the little villages of Cherry Hill, N. J., and Woodhaven, L. I. The cyclone descended upon the upper part of East New York, known as the Cypress Hills, at 4:30 o’clock, continued on its way to the lower plains district, and from there traveled to Woodhaven. The cloud "was first seen going over Cypress Hills. It was funnel-shap-ed, and hung very low to the ground. At the upper end was a red spot that appeared more like an incandescent light than anything else. The cyclone swept over the cemetery, wrecking handsome and costly monuments. It tore down trees for about 200 feet and then turned into Jamaica avenue at Crescent street, and went up Jamaica avenue for about half a mile. Trees were torn down and telephone and trolley wires demolished. Right in she middle of the wreckage six cars were caught. They belonged to the Brooklyn and Southern Railroad and were struck when in front of the Stewart home. The ciirn were filled with passengers and there was great excitement. Half a dozen persons were slightly injured. The cyclone wrecked thirty houses at Woodhaven and a very largo schoolhouse there. There were twenty residents of Woodhaven hit by the various objects which were carried through the air. Chimneys sailed through the air as though they were'no heavier than feathers. Between 40,000 and 50,000 persons visited the scene of the ruin und devastation at Cherry Hill Sunday. Some of the unfortunates whose homes were wrecked sat about during the day wondering whnt was in store for them. Hackensack and the other towns have responded promptly to the cal) for aid made by the people of Cherry Hill. Viewed in the light of day the ruin appeared more complete. Everywhere in the path of the storm were ruins. The tangled heap of timbers by the railroad track told where the depot went to pieces. That pile of wreckage showed where a house had been thrown down and that one where a barn had been razed by the winds. The leafless trees that withstood the strain of the whirlwind gave the appearance of midwinter. On two sides, as viewed from the center of the town, there were banks of green, but where the storm swept everything was black and bare. NOT FOR PUBLICATION. United States Ambassador Eustis Ta- . ken in by a Clever Frenchman, The Paris Figaro publishes a state- I ment from the Hon. James B. Eustis, the I United States Ambassador to France, in । which the latter says: “The fact is now I recalled to my memory that Secretary Vignaud introduced M. Rentier to me on May 13 not as a journalist, Imt as a writer. According to my custom. I had a conversation with him. but 1 certainly did not authorize M. Routier to publish it. / W/ S JAMES U. EI’ST'S. He did not tell me he had such an intention, and if he had I should have taken the necessary precautions. Indeed 1 should have forbidden him, as would have been my duty, to divulge anything of our conversation. I did not use the language M. Routier attributes to me. and I do not understand why M. Routier thought he had the right to invite me to discuss delicate questions of international politics. Ihe Estafette discussing the affair remarks: “It would not require many such incidents, especially in view of the effect which it produced in Spain, to lead to serious complications with the United States.” ELECTIONS IN THIRTEEN STATES Although an Off Year, There Will Be Plenty of Politics. Though this is supposed to be an “off year" politically, there will be elections in thirteen States, namely: Connecticut.

According to press dispatches tho Northern Michfriin foriwt Tires are nU' morons and formidable. The forests are mostly hardwood, and while the tires may run rapidly when fanned by a strong wind, yet they can be controlled by judicious and timely back firing. All the small towns in the danger district and many farms have been carefully encircled with back tires. The situation is being carefully watched, however, and there is not much to fear. At Wallin, the town burned Thursday, these precautions were not taken in time. The Sullivan Lumber Company loses about $30,000 on mill, lumber and buildings, with a total of $3,200 insurance. The charcoal kilns will be repaired immediately to use the . damaged timber before it goes to ruin, ' but the mill will not be rebuilt until next season. A large tent has already been erected for postoflice, store and hotel, and ns soon as buildings can be put up many of the workmen will return with their families, who arc now stopping at Thompsonville. The villages of Clary, Copemish, Interlocken, Grawn, Bensonia and others have I been threatened, but by back firing the ! danger has been averted. Comparatively ; few farmers have been burned out. Con- । sidorable damage lias been done to stand- | ing timber and much hemlock bark has been destroyed. No lives have been lost, , and even at Wallin the live stock wns saved, the cattle taking to the thick woods, where the fire did not reach them. । NEW MONEY ORDER BLANKS OUT ; /Vre in the Form of n Bank Draft and of n Sea Green Color. i Requisitions for money order blanks i received nt tile Postoflice Department will be filled from this time on with th® now blanks designed some months ago.

A Popular Scvereign. | The King of Denmark, it is said, Is a Quiet and unostentatious man, and rather fond of traveling If his people w°uld let him do It in peace.

Curious Custom in Holland. When young Queen Wilhelmina visited the other day the marvelous vaults at Maestriche, which are one of the sights of the place, she was requested by the authorities to Inscribe her name upon a marble slab in the wall, which bears the signatures of many other sovereigns, Dutch and foreign, prominent among them being the autograph of the first Napoleon. Just at the moment when she was about to comply with the request three tiny gnomes i sprang out from behind a pillar and ex- ■ claimed in accordance with the time- j honored custom, “Who are you that dares add your name to that of William tlve Silent and of the many Illustrious rulers of the Netherlands?” Queen Wilhelmina, who had been prepared for this little piece of pantomime, replied: “I am the daughter of this King William 111. whose signature you see here, and his successor to the throne of Holland,” whereupon the gnomes—three small boys dressed up for the occasion—bowed low, received some coin, ano retired.
