When Answering Adveirtisement Kindly Mention This Paper. W U. HOUSTON-NO. 47.1906 SU CUE FR DANGER IN SNAKE BITE REMEDY Was Almost as Fatal as Poison and Nearly Killed the User. After the unllmiterd usi, of wh lkyv as an antidote for the bite of a c·p perhead snake lImnry Itaur. aged C;o lapsed Into a sra'e of coma and r.a: rowly escaped burial alive, ,a s ;.0o Pit' burg Dispatch. Baur. who is a retired hbusines,. man of Pittsburg, has spent the summer :n a cottage on the ridge bordering the Youghiogheny river, ten miles be low Connellsville. He was bitten on the left hand by a large copperhead snake recently. Being a firm belies er in the efficacy of the whisky cure he at once began the treatment. William Wormse, his only companion in his isolated home, was hastily sent to Dawson for whisky. On his return, as no unfavorable symptoms had de. veloped, the treatment was continued, Later Worme was overcome by sleep while watching at the bedside, and when he awoke, soon after midnigit, he was horrified to find Baur cold and rigid. Supposing 'that he was dead. he washed and shaved him and prepared him for grave, straightening him out on a board. He then waited until day break and started to report 3aur's death. Meanwhile a physician, who had been sent for just after Baur was bit ten, arrived. Investigation disclosed the fact that the supposed dead man was in a comatose sleep Antidotes were given and consciousness re turned. AUBURN HAIR AND INTELLECT. Reddish Tinge Said to Be Sign of Pos session of Brains. "Did you ever notice," asked an ob servant woman, "how many intellec tual people have auburn hair? At the theater the other night I don't remember noticing a single reddish head of hair among the hundreds of uncovered heads spread out before me. They were the well-coiffured heads of the average nice woman. The next night I attended a meeting of a very learned society, at which there were perhaps two or three hundred cf the brainiest thinkers and educators around town. And without turning my eyes I picked out at least a dozen au burn-haired wdmen in the few seats in front of me. Now, that was more than a coincidence. It argues some thing for the possessor of auburn hair, I should think." Earns Title of Baron. Thel ate Sir D. M.

The Century in 1906. The lavish promises of a year ago were splendidly fulfilled in The Cen tury during 1905-it3 verse and essays, its pictures and fiction, its articles of timely interest and permanent value, went beyond all promise and expecta tion.
