F’ort Payne, Ala., Aug. 21.—James
Wylie Reece, a “holy roller." and far-
mer residing on Sand Mountain, near
Chavies, about seven miles from this
city, was bittvii by a large rattlesnake
from which the man died within 30
minutes, according to reports received
here.

conscience.

His assistance was enlisted. Meantime
the crowd grew larger and there was
no lack of advice. Finally the hard-
ware man was called to furnish tools
to break the concrete ring of the pipe.
A piece of pipe broke in a ring and the
concrete rested on the mule's hoof.
That gave the blacksmith his cue and
he pulled the shoe from the hoof.
Amid a chorus of “Oh's” and “Ah’s”
from the crowd the relief corps pulled

An exchange says: “If you would
care less for what persons outside
your family think about you, and
more about what those in your home
think of you, it is more than likely
that you would conduct yourself in a
way more pleasing to those who are
entitled to the best there is in you.
Isn’t it true that you make very little
effort to be agreeable in your home
and every effort possible to win the
good graces of others? If some of
those friends who konw you in a social
and favorable way, knew you as they
do in yuor home, there would be less
respect for you. You know what sort
of person you are. You know the side
you show your family and what you
show the world. Are you not ashamed
sometimes, when you think how you
treat the members of your own little
home? Why not make yourself
happier by a real effort to be courte-
ous and considerate of those near
and dear? Why save all your good
and bright happy ways for the ‘crowd’,
in other words, mere friends or ac-
quaintances ?” 4
