An indignant looking farmer
returned to a horse dealer’s a
bout an hour after purchasing
a horse.
‘ Look here, sii!” he exclaim¬
ed. ‘ I don’t want this horse you
sold me! He shies. I can’t get
him to cross the bridge. t «
‘‘That’s the reason I sold him’
said the dealer calmly. ‘*Why
did you come to me for the
horse? ’
“I saw your advertisement
in the paper.*

A Great Snake Story.
Mr • J S Brooks, of Youth, ac¬
companied by his daughter was
in the city one day recently.
While heie Mr. Brooks told us
about killing a coachwhip snake
ou bis plantation which meas¬
ured 8 feet and a fraction in
length and w hich weighed 0 and
three-fourth pounds. His at
tention was called to the reptile
by a little dog which had quite
a prolonged and unpleasant en¬
counter with it. As soon as Mr.
Brooks got to the place where
the sdihko was the snake ran
some little distance and then
turned and ran on him and sta' t
ed to strike him. Realizing tue
danger of the situation Mr
Brooks knew something had to
be done or lie would, perhaps,
be killed. So he took a hoe and
struck at the snake, seveiing his
head the first lick. Immediate¬
ly after Mr. Brooks killed the
snake the mate was located in a
nearby place and was shot by
Mr. Brook's son. The mate lack
ed a little of being as large and
as long as the one killed by Mi.
Brooks• Mr. Brooks says he
never saw such snakes outside
of a cucus show, that they beat
anything that he had ever seen
in this part of the country.
Judging from what Mr. Brook
told us, he must have a regular
snake farm. He said in one year
he and bis children killed 03
snakes on the place he now lives
on. Who can beat it?
The little dog was bitten sev¬
eral times and was awful sick
for a while but still lives.—Wal

Fear Of Newspaper Public
ity. -
One of the last thing* John J.
Ingalls wrote was this brief tribute
to the daily newspawer: “In a
gystpm of representative popular
self-government like ours the su¬
preme power is public opinion.
From the ultimate decrees of this
tribu ml there is neither exculpa¬
tion nor appeal. Its organ is the
press which protects minorities
from the tyrannies of majorities,
the weak from the oppression of
the strong, and the poor from the
extortion of the rich by appeal to
the conscience of the people, and by
condemnation of error, falsehood
and injustice. The august Judge,
the despotic magistrate, the cor¬
rupt legislator may be indifferent
to the penalties and sanction* of
the moral law, may carelittla for
heaven or hell; and less for God or
the devil; but he trembles and
co vers and shrinks from the terri¬
fying publicity of the daily news¬
paper. No craft or subtlety can
evade its sleepless vigilance, no
hypocrisy can escape its penetra
tiou; no bribe can purchase its
verdict. With free thought,*free
speech and a free press, our civili¬
zations will emerge unimpaired
from the tremendous revolution
through which the standard of
Spartacus will be raised in vain.”
If it were not for the fear of
publicity through the newspapers
this would be a much worse world
than it is now. To the wrongdoer
it is like the sword of Damocles.
Next to the law it is the greatest
restraining power. The
of the press for good is great. Fear
of publicity through the press
keeps many people from evil deeds
