Whisky is not good for snake bite, announces Dr; Gilbert Vander Smissen, specialist in treating gentlemen who have thoughtlessly stepped on rattlers, copperheads, water moccasins and other lovable pets. In fact, says Dr. Smissen, a quart of rye or Scotch is apt tq lessen rather than promote the victims chances of recovery. Other scientists back up Dr. Smissens views.

A heart stimulant hastens circulation of poison through the body. He added: Two hundred and fifty dollars and costs! Like many other evils, snake bite is not as dangerous as generally believed. The average mortality from American venomous serpents is only a little more than 10 out of 100 persons bitten,- according to the governments biological survey.

Vanderbilt, third son of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, was 21 years old a few days ago and came into his inher-tanc- e of $5,000,000 and an immense farm and country home. That was a great day for him and he properly celebrated. The founder of the Vanderbilt fortunes in the United States, the famous Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, received no such windfall fortune when he was 21. The son of a Dutch farmer living on Staten island, the original Cornelius learned how to sail a boat while taking his dads farm products to market. When he was 16 years old he bought a boat and began to carry passengers and goods between New York City and Staten island. When he was 18 years old he owned two boats and was captain of a third. By the time he was 40 years old his wealth was estimated at $500,-00made from the building and operation of boats. In 1863 he into the railroad business and by skilful manipulation of stocks got and franchises soon became one of the dominating personalities 'in the speculative era of American railroad history. Several times stock speculators combined to put him in a hole. Vanderbilt, on two notable occasions, was able to corner the stocks involved and made the speculators pay a fancy price for their fun. Daniel Drew, Jay Gould and James Fisk came pretty near squeezing the Commodore when he tried to get control of the old Erie railroad, As fast as the Commodore bought in the stock, Jay Gould and his crowd would start the printing press and print more stock. By this method they took about seven million dollars away from Van- derbilt. His fortune was estimated at" one hundred million dollars, and, of course, as the population increased and the country developed, that property increased in value. Thanks to the sharpness and industry of the Commodore, who had no education to speak of, the whole tribe of Vanderbilts in the United States has been on Easy street evr-since- .

Confess Crime for Which Another Suffers long list of crimes, most of them connected with illicit liquor operations and including the slaying of a farmer, for which another youth is serving a life sentence, were admitted a few days ago by two men in the county jail in Detroit. Homer Noel, of Lowell, Mass., and Melvin Brown of Battle Creek, confessed, officers said, that they were two of the gang which killed Alex Doinbrowski, a farmer, last January 24, when they stormed his house representing themselves as prohibition enforcement agents. Leo Sauerman of Detroit, serving a life term at Marquette in connection with the killing, was not in the gang.

Whats the sense of working when there are so many women hungry for love, running wild with lots of money? He asked the question in the Town Hall police station, Chicago, and exhibited a stack of fervent letters from women in all latitudes between Alberta and New Orleans, and he suggested to the detectives who took him in charge that they might well learn about ladies from him. LOVE AND GEOGRAPHY He is Charles Anderson, a carpenter by trade, and an indifferent one; a lover by occupation and a great one. And he said as he shuffled his letter, deftly and dashingly, like a card player who plays them high, wide and handsome: Of all the women Ive ever known, the Indiana girls fall quickest and hardest. Look at these letters. Why, I get three times as many from Indiana as from any other state in the Union. There must be a reason. Theyre just hankering after love, thats it. I get their names and write them, and do they answer? Do they? Rest your tired eyes on that pile of responses. A CAREFUL PICKER On the long list of names and addresses in Andersons indexed notebook, no woman was listed with assets of less than $r,000, and many considerably higher. When the one possessed real estate also, fact was underlined. The ama-shei- k possessed a comprehensive, concise, simplified system for amorous operations on a broad scale. One applicant for his heart and hand wrote frankly: I am a good woman, a member and faithful to of the W. C. T. its pledge. I can dance, but I dont frequent dance halls. I have a passion for you. Here is another feminine effusion: I am blue. Im sick for you! and Im jealous. Have you a sweetie in Chicago? I do need some one to hold my head. There were letters also from women in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Decatur. Bloomington, Tulsa.
