The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 19, 1903 If you don’t like California climate, you can go to Venezuela. The blockade has been raised. Los Angeles has established a free information bureau for the benefit of tourists. Among other information on tap are various and sundry good and sufficient reasons why the weather is as it is during this exceptional year. There is one Arizonian who is opposed to statehood for that territory. It is the secretary of the territory, who is said to receive more in fees than the salary of the President amounts to. The orange trees of Southern California are getting acclimated. For despite the cold weather of last week, absolutely no damage was done, either to the trees or crops. Our authority for this statement is the reports in the newspapers, which, of course, never print anything that isn’t so. Anent the agitation for the Sunday closing of saloons, it should be generally known that a bill has passed the Assembly and will probably become a law, permitting cities of the sixth class (to which Anaheim belongs) to vote at any general election on the question of local option. While providing over services in connection with the semi-continental celebration of St. Paul’s Methodist church in Newark, N. J., Governor Franklin Murphy predicted in his address that unless in the near future greater harmony be restored dential nomination, is somewhat of a politician his ownself. In declining to attend a Democratic banquet at Chattanooga he took occasion to say in a letter: “It does not now seem, in view of recent discussion, as if it would be possible for me to visit you there without creating an impression in the public mind that it would be in furtherance of my political preferment. I am not willing to take any action which will in any wise warrant such a suggestion. While recognizing that situations occasionally arise which make it the duty of a judge to lay aside his office and serve in other capacities, if the people desire it, I have always held firmly to the notion that he should not seek for political honors, however exalted they may be, and holding such views, I should not be true to my ideas if I acted otherwise.” In connection with the present interest in the development of irrigation in the west, the following facts noted from a paper recently issued by the United States geological survey on the “Development and Application of Water near San Bernardino, Colton and Riverside, California,” by J. B. Lippincott, resident hydrographer for the State of California, will be of interest as showing what may be done by irrigation, and also the limits of its possibilities. In the eleven years prior to 1898 there were shipped from Riverside nearly seven million boxes of oranges, which at fair figures means an average income of $1,000,000 a year. With the present condition of the oceans an income twice as large may be expected. During the season of 1897-98 four thousand carloads of citrus fruits were shipped from Riverside, while in 1899 the annual yield was said to be one third of the entire output of the state. Previous to the application of water RECORD OF THE BUBONIC PLANE The bubonic plague has been used of a political disease in California otherwise, growing out of the that centered about Governor Gale “bubonic plague board of health that the people of the state have lost sight of the fact that the se itself, as it sweeps around the good irregular intervals, has been one most dreadful in history. The York Sun has collected some facts reference to it that become of interest in view of the fact that now admitted there have been no oral cases in San Francisco in two years, and there is a consider outbreak down the Mexican coast. “The announcement that the plague has made its appearance upon the eastern coast of the United States Mexico has of late attracted considerable attention. Its arrival has been unexpected, for it has been ing in the east with varying se since 1894. In that year it broke in Hongkong, where within months 7500 people perished where the number of fatal amounted to 319,000 before the demic subsided. From Hongkong traveled to Bombay, and in 1898 was a widespread epidemic in this nation of India. “It again appeared in the nineteenth century and practically peated the history of three hundred years before. In 1665 it is est that in the city of London alone people perished from ‘the plague.’ “There need be no fear that no sanitation and the efficient boards of the seacoast cities United States will permit it to be epidemic in this country, or even terse seriously with our com­ It has been demonstrated that chief means of conveyance of germs are animals and insects, rats, mice, dogs, flies and most ably mosquitoes.

White presides over services in connection with the semi-continental celebration of St. Paul's Methodist church in Newark, N.J., Governor Franklin Murphy predicted in his address that unless in the near future greater harmony be restored between labor and capital, the country will be plummed into a civil war more disastrous than any previously recorded in history. The new cabinet officer required by the department of commerce bill, who will be known as the secretary of commerce and Labor, will be George B. Cortelyou, now secretary to the president. This was decided by Mr. Roosevelt as soon as it was evident that the new department would be created. The appointment meets with approval among all public men and carries out the wish of President McKinley. It is said that the pending bill to increase the salary of the president from $50,000 to $100,000 is not having such opposition as met the effort thirty years ago to change it from $25,000 to $50,000. The belief is entertained that the bill will become law, and it should. The salary now paid is inadequate, in view of the obligations, social and otherwise, imposed upon the president, which involves heavy personal cost. Governor Pardee finds that the bills now before the Legislature if they were all passed and signed by him would entail an expense outside of the regular expenses of the State of $4,756,000. If a tax rate of 55 cents is settled upon he can sign that amount less the four million. If a tax rate of 60 cents is made he can sigh a million dollars' worth, and if the tax rate is made 65 cents he can sign $2,000,000. In other words he must kill more than half the bills or the tax rate will be way up to the skies. General Snowden Andrews, who died in Baltimore the other day, enjoyed the distinction of being the only man in the world who possessed a metal abdomen. Being punched below the belt he rattled like a tin pan. His entire bay window was shot off in the war and his bowels were spread upon the ground. "Here's another dead one," said the surgeon, gathering up the intestines along with a few handfuls of sand. In the eleven years prior to 1898 there were shipped from Riverside nearly seven million boxes of oranges, which at fair figures means an average income of $1,000,000 a year. With the present condition of the oakards an income twice as large may be expected. During the season of 1897-93 four thousand carloads of citrus fruits were shipped from Riverside, while in 1899 the annual yield was said to be one third of the entire output of the state. Previous to the application of water this section was a poor sheep pasture, worth hardly 75 cents an acre. With regard to individual profits, a man should average 10 per cent on his investment at the end of fifteen years, but if the conditions are modified by a lack of water supply, destructive frosts or low grade of trees, the profits may be much reduced. It costs in the neighborhood of $900 an acre to get a citrus orchard in bearing condition, including land, water and interest on investment. Under favorable conditions, a ten-year old orchard should produce $20 an acre gross and $10 net per acre. When all conditions are satisfactory it takes five or more years of hard, patient and intelligent work to place an orchard on a paying basis; so it will readily be seen that it is not a poor man's business, but is subject to the stern law of survival of the fittest, as are other lines of enterprise. When, however, success comes, life in this region is ideal—a country life in a pleasant land, among golden fruit and cuitivated neighbors, with most of the conveniences of the city. Remarkable [Cure of Group—A Little Boy's Life Saved] I have a few words to say regarding Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It saved my little boy's life and I feel that I cannot praise it enough. I bought a bottle of it from A.E Steere of Goodwin, S.D., and when I got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe. I gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he "threw up" and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth in great long strings. I am positive that if I had not got that bottle of cough medicine my boy would not be on earth today. Joel Demont, Inwood, Iowa. For sale by all druggists. Sala's Last Article.

DANGER INDOORS ON A Steamship and Battleship Bulkship Worth as Much as They Seen On All Large Warships a good percentage of the total cost is spent indirectly on bulkheads what these bulkheads necessitate passenger would willingly make in a liner which was not have a cellular structure, and enment would think of building ship or cruiser without buoy Yet it is a fact well known, at all seafaring men and shipbuilders these bulkheads strong and powerful as are the doors in them as whit more so. The doors as at present conceived are notoriously dangerous. They have been taken and known cause in the loss lives and many good ships doubtless chargeable with maritime ships on the list of "missing" counted for." It is astonishing expert to see the general men even seafaring men so ready GENERAL SNOWDEN ANDREWS, who died in Baltimore the other day, enjoyed the distinction of being the only man in the world who possessed a metal abdomen. Being punched below the belt he rattled like a tin pan. His entire bay window was shot off in the war and his bowels were spread upon the ground. "Here's another dead one," said the surgeon, gathering up the intestines along with a few handfuls of sand and piled them back in the body. The wounded soldier showed signs of life, and they sowed him up with a piece of tarred string. Later on he got a metal front, which he wore to the day of his death. MR. FRANKLIN, the local forecast official of the United States Weather Bureau, has furnished the Los Angeles Times the following statement: "Average rainfall for the period from September 1 to February 12, computed for eighteen years, 10.54 inches. "Average rainfall for the period from September 1 to February 12, computed for five years, 6.75. Rainfall from September 1, 1901, to February 12, 1902, 4.13 inches. "Rainfall from September 1, 1902, to February 12, 1903, 8.60 inches." From this it will be seen that, contrary to the general prevailing impression, the rainfall for the season, up to date, lacks two inches of being as much as the average season's rainfall for a period of eighteen years. On the other hand, the rainfall of the season, so far, is more than double the rainfall for a similar period last year, and it is almost one-third greater than the rainfall for the same period for five seasons previous to the present one.

Hubby's Good Qualities. The curate was making a call on a humble member of his stock, when the good woman, in course of conversation, very much extolled the virtues of her absent husband and finished up by saying, "And he is such a good man too." "In what way?" asked the curate. "Why, sir," she said, "he always says his prayers every night of his life—drunk or sober—he never misses that."—London Telegraph. VACCINATION BY WHOLESALE UNIONTOWN, PA., Feb. 13. — The great prevalence of smallpox in the coke region has prompted the officials of the H. C. Frick Coke company to issue an order for the free vaccination of all its employees and their families. As the Frick company has about 50,000 men on its pay-rolls, this order will affect about 300,000 persons. Ten thousand dollars have been expended in vaccine virus, and contracts have been made with doctors in every district to prick the arms of the employes. Fifty physicians in all have been engaged, and they began their stupendous task Saturday. Nearly Forfeits His Life A runaway almost ending fatally started a horrible ulcer on the leg of J. B.

Yet it is a fact well known, although all seafaring men and shipbuilders themselves are precisely as efficient as the doors in them as whit more so. The doors as at present conceived and operated are notoriously dangerous. They have been taken to sea and known cause in the loss of lives and many good ships doubtless chargeable with ships on the list of "missing and counted for." It is astonishing expert to see the general purpose even seafaring men so ready for the prevailing superstition and safety of bulkheads. The best bulkheads without equally good operated on a safe system, are good as a chain with a link. The history of marine disasters taught us this if it has taught thing, and yet we go on crowding Atlantic in liners of much vauntry and bragging about invulnerable ships, apparently with impidence in this bulkhead fetish.

It takes about 110 men to lift these details alone in response to lion alarm under the presence, and it is a matter of vow doubt on the part of those best as to whether the supreme these 110 men can attend these batches and valves quickly save the ship Cassier's Magna.

The New Sun has collected some facts with reference to it that become of special interest in view of the fact that it is admitted there have been occasiences in San Francisco in the last years, and there is a considerable break down the Mexican coast. The announcement that the plague made its appearance upon the west-coast of the United States and Mexico has of late attracted considerable attention. Its arrival has not unexpected, for it has been raged on the east with varying severity by 1894. In that year it broke out Hongkong, where within three months 7500 people perished, and are the number of fatal cases counted to 319,000 before the epidemic subsided. From Hongkong it leaped to Bombay, and in 1898 there was widespread epidemic in that section of India. The earliest history of this disease was back to the second century, when in the fourteenth century it spread Europe and destroyed more than one-fourth of the population it known as the 'black death.' It again appeared in the seventh century and practically relied on the history of three hundred years before. In 1665 it is estimated that in the city of London alone 70,000 people perished from 'the plague.' There need be no fear that modernitation and the efficient healthords of the seacoast cities of the United States will permit it to become domestic in this country, or even to infest seriously with our commerce. Has been demonstrated that the best means of conveyance of these animals are animals and insects, such as mice, dogs, flies and most probably mosquitoes. The animals mentioned are especially susceptible to infection and are rapidly destroyed. In recent epidemics the disease has been U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Abnormally low temperatures prevailed in all parts of the state during the week, accompanied by high northerly winds, killing frosts and thick ice. In many places the temperature on the 13th and 14th fell to 20 degrees, the lowest recorded in some sections for 20 years. Light rain fell in the central and northern sections, and heavier rain and snow in Southern California. Slightly warmer weather prevails in all sections today. Grain and grass made very little growth, but are in good condition in most places. On some of the uplands where the precipitation has been unusually heavy during the season it is reported that grain is in very poor condition, but will probably revive with warmer weather and sunshine. Grain on the lowlands is more thrifty, and apparently has not been damaged by the cold. A large acreage has been planted and will be considerably increased in some sections. Reports from Southern California indicate that grain prospects are better than for several years, and that a larger acreage has been sown. Pasturagis is still plentiful in most places. Stocks are in fair condition, but have suffered considerably from cold weather. Orange picking continues at Cloverdale, and there are no reports of damage by frost. Fruit trees and vines are in good condition. Almond trees are blossoming at Hollister and almonds, apricots and peaches are in bloom in San Luis Obispo county. In the northern counties the almonds are about three weeks later than last year. Abnormally cold weather prevailed during the week in Southern California, with temperatures as low as 20 degrees in many places. Light rain and snow fell in the valleys on Thursday and Friday, with heavy snow in the mountains. It is probable that oranges and lemons were considerably damaged by the extreme cold, although ample warnings were given and orchardists took all possible precautions to protect the fruit. Deciduous fruit trees and grapevines are in good condition. Grain is looking well and prospects are good for a heavy crop. An unusually large acreage of wheat and oats has been planted in many places. LOST IN HARBOR. One golden September afternoon a brig called the Alice of London was running toward the land, bound for the little port of Fordham on the southern coast. A steady breeze coming over the water filled her saills and sent her slipping along at quite a record pace. The rich, warm sunlight turned her gray and patched canvas into gossamer, gave an airy lightness to her clumsy spars, flashed from the binnacle cover and cabin skylight, brightened up the bit of green paint on her deckhouse and sparkled in the spray that shot up from under her bow as she rose and fell with the motion of the waves till it looked like showers of diamonds. Shoreward the faint outline of the land was just discernible through a veil of purple haze. Overhead the sky was flecked with clouds that were ever changing in their shape and tints, and as for the surface of the sea, the hues of it that September afternoon would have defied the brush of the finest artist that ever lived. It was an ideal sailor's day, and the mate of the Alice seemed to think so as he stood at the wheel, bringing his eyes every now and again off the compass case to glance aloft at the swelling canvas or away over the iridescent sea. He was a young fellow of some seven or eight and twenty, keen of eye and strong of limb, with no traces of gold lace or fine broadcloth about him—his dress being an old pair of check trousers, a blue jersey and a cloth cap. Beside him stood the skipper, 30 years older, with a fiery face and moist eyes—an ugly customer if you put him out, but on the whole a kindly natured man, who knew every headland and every sand bank round the British coast. Now and then you caught sight of a shaggy figure in shirt and trousers moving about the deck forward, and the sound of voices came aft from the forecastle. The Alice had never sailed better. Already the little port was in sight, and pretty enough it looked as they approached it, with the spars of the shipping peeping up above the breakwater, behind them the red tiled roofs of the houses on the quayside, and behind these again the great square tower of Fordham church, a landmark to mariners for many a century, and all set in a frame of chalk cliffs, green hills and woodland and lighted up with the gold-machine that caught every scrap of There need be no fear that modern station and the efficient healthirds of the seacoast cities of the United States will permit it to become home in this country, or even to indoors seriously with our commerce. This has been demonstrated that the best means of conveyance of these animals are animals and insects, such as mice, dogs, flies and most probably mosquitoes. The animals mentioned are especially susceptible to infection and are rapidly destroyed. In recent epidemics the disease has been defined in its ravages almost wholly the unclean quarters of the communities it has invaded, and rarely affects those who are well nourished and in comfortable surroundings. The specific germ of the disease was covered by Kitasato, the Japanese dentist, and lately a serum has been trained which has been efficacious in treatment. Haffkine, the inventor of this serum, says that in a village of 429 persons submitted to isolation. Of these only seven were attacked by the plague and all recovered, while of the uninoculated twentix were attacked and twenty-four died. In another city 2197 were inocued and over 6000 were not inocued. Of the latter, 1482 died, where only thirty-six of the inoculated persons succumbed.

ANGER INDOORS ON A SHIP Training and Battleship Bulkheads Not Worth as Much as They Seem. On all first class passenger steamships and on all large warships a great percentage of the total cost is spent directly and indirectly on bulkheads or on those bulkheads necessitate. No passenger would willingly make a voyage in a liner which was not known to have a cellular structure, and no government would think of building a battleship or cruiser without bulkheads. Yet it is a fact well known, at least to seafaring men and shipbuilders, that these bulkheads strong and perfect in themselves, are precisely as safe and efficient as the doors in them and not a hit more so. The doors as at present constructed and operated are notoriously bad and dangerous. They have been the direct cause and known cause in the loss of many lives and many good ships and are doubtless chargeable with many more ships on the list of "missing and unaccounted for." It is astonishing to the expert to see the general public and seafaring men so ready to accept TALKING TO ONESELF. Soliloquies Are Rare Because We Fear They Mean Madness. Talking to oneself has this obvious advantage over any other form of oratory or gossip: One is assured of a sympathetic audience. But it has also this peculiar drawback: It is supposed to be one of the early symptoms of insanity. Wrongly so perhaps. A mad doctor might rule the habit out of his diagnosis. Nevertheless the popular belief is firmly rooted, and it is for fear of this belief doubtless that we talk to ourselves even as we dress our hair with straws so rarely. It may be said that we never do address ourselves at any length except in the delirium of a fever. In moments of ordinary excitement of course we utter to the wind some sort of appropriate ejaculation. Delight wrings from us a cry of "Hurrah!" or "Thank heaven!" even though there be none by echo us. Similarly in any disgust we emit one of those sounds whose rather poor equivalents in print are "Ugh!" and "Faugh!" and "Tut!". Much further than this we do not go. Why, what an ass am I?" cries Hamlet in one of his soliloquies. Omitting the first word and transposing the last two, the ordinary modern man does often soliloquize to that extent. But he could no more soliloquize to Hamlet's extent than he could speak in decasyllabies. Nor is there any reason to suppose that that class of the community with which, contemptuous of his own fluency, Hamlet compared himself is or ever was more prone to soliloquize than any other. In the matter of soliloquies we cannot accept Hamlet as an unblessed authority. We merely find in him the possible origin of the belief that talking to oneself is a bad sign—Saturday Review. Her Advice. There were two women saying goodbye at the corner. One was pounded and plump and healthy, the other was thin and apparently ill. It was evident that the one who was not in health had telling her troubles to the one who had probably never been in any other state, and she was receiving sympathy and advice so cheerfully given that no passer could fail to overhear it. "There, goodby," said the well one, "and don't take any medicine. You are perfectly well, you know, and God is love."—Boston Budget. The Cost of a Boy. The following good recitation for a boy was found in the Chicago Advance. It does not take as much money to live in the country, or in a small town. Now and then you caught sight of a shaggy figure in shirt and trousers moving about the deck forward, and the sound of voices came aft from the forecastle. The Alice had never sailed better. Already the little port was in sight, and pretty enough it looked as they approached it, with the spars of the shipping peeping up above the breakwater, behind them the red tiled roofs of the houses on the quayside, and behind those again the great square tower of Fordham church, a landmark to mariners for many a century, and all set in a frame of chalk cliffs, green hills and woodland and lighted up with the golden sunshine that caught every scrap of color that was anywhere about, from the bit of bunting on a ship's masthead to the white houses upon the hillside at the back of the town. To enter the harbor today was child's play. "If you keep yonder church about eight points on your port bow, it'll take you straight in," said the skipper. "I dare say you could find your way in blindfolded," remarked the mate. The old man grunted and shrugged his shoulders. "I ought to," he answered. "I've known it as man and boy these 50 years, and many's the time I've had to feel my way in. As you say. Only last winter I brought up off here in a fog that thick you couldn't see half a mile ahead of you, a slack tide and a light wind. But I got in without a scrape." Another time I was in charge of a topsail schooner, got caught in a gale in the channel and lost our topmast. A heavy sea was running across the bar, and thick snow squalls hid the land every now and again I put two men at the wheel, kept the lead going, told all hands to hold on like grim death and got in without parting a rope yarn. But I wouldn't care to do it again. It's all right when you get inside; but, as you can see for yourself, when you get a strong son wester and a heavy sea it's a dangerous port to make. The timbers of many a stout craft are scattered along this coast in winter time. Have I ever been ashore here? Yes; twice. The first time I made a mistake in the tides and grounded outside the bar, but luckily it was fair weather, and she came off safely next tide. The next time I thought it was all up with us. We were being towed out in the teeth of half a gale, when the hawser parted, and we fouled the pier, carrying away all the headgear and went ashore just inside the breakwater. If it had been outside, she'd have been smashed into matchwood before morning. But though I've been in and out of Fordham sometimes two or three times a year for the last 50 years, I never see that church without being reminded of my first voyage and its ending.

The following good recitation for a boy was found in the Chicago Advance. It does not take as much money to live in the country, or in a small town, as it does to live in the city. I read the other day that it cost $5,000 to bring up a city boy and educate him and dress him well. I said to myself, "That is because everything in the city has to be bought and living is high." But I began to study the thing, and I found out that even a country boy cost his parents a good deal. When you count what a boy eats and what he wears, and the schoolbooks he has to have, and the doctor bills that have to be paid when he gets the measles or the scarlet fever, he will cost his folks at least $100 a year. I guess if a boy is pretty bad to smash things or to klok his shoes right out he costs more than that. So when I am 21 and old enough to do for myself I shall have cost father more than $2,000. Mother cooked my victuals, made my clothes and patched them, washed and ironed for me, took care of me when I was a little fellow and whenever I was sick, and she never charged anything for that. If she were dead and father had to hire all that done, it would cost him another $100 a year more, and that's $2,000 worth of work mother will have done for me by the time I am a man. Four thousand dollars for a boy! What do you think of that? These are hard times. When parents put $4,000 into a boy, what have they a right to expect of him? Is it fair for a boy to play truant at school? Is it fair for him to play ball, go in swimming or hang around town all of the time, when maybe his father's potatoes are not dug nor the wood brought in for his mother? Is it fair for him to disappoint them by swearing and drinking? Some of our parents have put about all the property they have into us boys and girls. If we make spittoons and whisky jugs of ourselves, they will be poor indeed. But if we make good citizens and substantial men they will feel as if they had good pay for bringing us up. Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt, and every grin, so merry, draws one out.—Wolcott. Our bravest and best lessons are not learned through success, but through misadventure.—A. B. Alcott. It is no disgrace not to be able to do everything, but to undertake or pretend to do what you are not made for is not only shameful, but extremely troublesome and vexations.—Plutarch. Enjoy the blessings of this day, if God sends them, and the evils bear patiently and sweetly, for only this day is ours. We are dead to yesterday and not born tomorrow.—Jeremy Taylor. ONE STEP MORE Will be fatal to the sleep-walker. Will he draw back or will he take the final, fatal step? A great many people are in peril like the sleep-walker. They are diseased. The disease is progressing day by day. The time comes when one more step away from health is fatal. The man who has suffered from indigestion or gastric trouble goes some night to a dinner and returns home to find he has taken that last step from health which can never be taken back. To neglect the cure of indigestion or some other form of stomach trouble is dangerous. It is also inexcusable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It purifies the blood, stimulates the liver, cures biliousness, and eliminates bilious poisons from the system. "The praise I would like to give your 'Golden Medical Discovery' I cannot utter in words or describe with pen," writes Jas B. Ambrose, Esq., of 1205% Mifflin St., Huntingdon, Pa. "I was taken with what our physician said was indigestion. I doctored with the best around here and found no relief. I wrote you, and you advised me to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I took three bottles and I felt so good that I stopped being cured. I have no symptoms of gastric trouble or indigestion now." If you ask your dealer for "Golden Medical Discovery" because you have confidence in its cures, do not allow yourself to be switched off to a medicine claimed to be "just as good," but which you did not ask for and of which you know nothing.

DR PIERCE'S IT MAKES WEAK WOMEN STRONG AND SICK WOMEN WELL. RECOMMENDED BY ATHLETIC WOMEN HEALTHY MOTHERS EVERYWHERE FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION WELL. FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION An Arizona Rattler. They say that a man takes his life in his hand who sleeps on the ground in Arizona," said a young civil engineer the other day, "because there are so many snakes there. But unfortunately men of our profession cannot always choose their sleeping place. I was working down there a little while ago with another fellow, and one night we were obliged to lie down upon no better bed than our overcoats stretched on the ground. We were too tired to be nervous and slept soundly till after midnight, when my companion sprang up suddenly, waking me with a start. "What's the matter?" I asked sleepily. "There's a rattler here." I listened and heard nothing. "I don't hear him," I said. "Guess you've had a nightmare." So we settled down again. In a few minutes my friend leaped to his feet once more, exclaiming: "There's a rattler here, sure's fate, and you'd better get up. I believe he's under my coat." It was queer that I couldn't hear it if it was so near. I cautiously extended my hand, feeling along the ground. Yes, I know it was a foolish thing to do, but we don't always stop to think. Suddenly I burst out laughing. "Yes," I said, "there is a rattler here, in your pocket too. You tell your sweetheart not to write you letters on such still paper." We slept soundly for the rest of the night, but often since then I have guyed him about his "rattler."—Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune. In Vienna the height of a house must not exceed 82 feet.
