TWAIN'S DAUGHTER
GIVES 2,500 BOOKS
TO REDDING LIBRARY
' (Special to Farmer.) .
Redding, July 7. The i free public
library of this town, which was found
ed by Mark Twain, has just received
a munificent gift from Mrs. Clara Ga
prilowitsch, his only- surviving child.
The donation consists of her father's
own library comprising about 2,500
volumes all of which she gives to
the Mark Twain public library with
the exception of a few books retain
ed on account of the personal asso
ciations connected with them or for
some other good reason. Altogether
the gift, including as it does, com
plete sets of itandard authors in, first
class bindings, would, be in itself a
generous equipment for most country
libraries, and Increases the total num
ber of books in the Mark Twain li
brary to about 4,000 volumes. Work on
the foundation of the library build
ing, the immediate ' erection of which
Mark Twain assured by the gift of a
$6,000 check while he was on his death
bed. is" progressing rather rslowly on
account of the difficulty of getting
laborers In tnls Busy farming season
but it is still intended to have the
structure sufficiently advanced to per
mit the holding !of a fair in it during,
the latter part ofrthe summer or early
in the fall. Last week a sewing cir

held at the home- of Harry Louns

Albert Bigelow , Paine and Harry A.
tounsbury, appraisers on the Mark
Twain estate, have not yet completed
their inventory and connot say when
it will be ready for the probate court.
The furniture and . furnishings at
Stormfield are appraised at $J1,000
which is said q be about one third
of what . they cost. , No prospective
purchaser for the property has yet
appeared.' A New York man who had
some thoughts of acquiring it looked
it over, but did nothing further. It
is understood that. Mrs. Gabrilowitsch
desires to "reserve the cottage known
as the "Lobster Pot As soon as the
affairs of the estate are closed out
she and her husband will return to

SENATORIAL 'CANDIDACY.
A CUNNING WEASEL
(Special from United Press.)
New York, July 7. t-At the special
request of . Theodore Roosevelt, Gil
son Gardner today gave out a state
meat branding as false a story sent
from Oyster Bay regarding Roose
velt's alleged endorsement of the
Senatorial candidacy of Representa
tive Poindexter of Washington. Gard
ner, who made the trip- with Roose
velt from 'Khartoum to New York,
as a representative of the Republican
party, was a guest at Sagamore 111
together with Poindexter, He says
that the only - statement "made by
either Poindexter or himself follow
ing, .the visit was that it had been
pleasant and that Poindexter had
been pleased to find how thoroughly
Roosevelt Was in accord with his own
ideas. There was no mention of the
Senatorial contest, Gardner says.

Th Trick by' Which Ho Trapped Hi
Big Rat Antagonist.'
Oc.ce a sawmill in a -western town
was-infested with rats, which, being
unmolested, became very numerous
and bold and played round the mill
among the men" while they worked dur
ing the day. , But one day there ap
peared "on .the; scene a weasel, which
Immediately declared war on the ro
dents.. ' '
One by one the rats fell victims to
the weasel's superior strength, until
only one very large, pugnacious rat
was left of the once numerous colony.
The weasel had a go at the big rat
several times, but on each' occasion
the rodent proved more than a match
for his slender antagonist and chased
the weasel to & hiding place.
Shortly thereafter the weasel was
seen bustlyy digging under a lumber
pile near "the mill. He was engaged
for some time, but later appeared
again In the' mill, seeking his old ene
my. ' He soon found him and at once
renewed hostilities. As usual, after a
lively tussle the rat got the better of
the argument, and the weasel ran, pur
sued closely by the rat, straight to the
hole under the lumber pile.
He ran in, still followed by the rat,
but immediately reappeared . round
the end of the pile and again dodged
into the hole behind the rat. '. Neither
was seen again for some time, but the
weasel finally reappeared, looking no I
worse Xor the hght-
The curiosity of the men in the mill
being aroused, they proceeded to In
vestigate the hole under , the lumber
pile. They, found that the weasel had
dug the hole sufficiently large at the
opening to admit the rat, but had
gradually tapered it as he proceeded
until at the other end it barely allowed
his own slender body to pass.
When the rat chased him into the
large end of this underground tunnel
he quickly slipped through, and while
the rat was trying to squeeze his large
body into the smaller part of the hole
the weasel dodged in behind him,
caught him in the rear and in a place
where he could not turn round and fin
ished him at his leisure. Harper's
Weekly.
POISON IN FLOWERS.
Dainty and Beautiful Blossoms In
Which Lurks Death.
When the good friar in "Romeo and
Juliet" reflected upon the properties
of the simple flower, "within whose
Infant rind poison hath residence and
medicine power,' his observation em
braced . a goodly category of well
known flowers whose" secretions fur
nish the world with so many poisons.
For instance, . the laburnum, which
has been compared to a fountain of
gold leaping into the sun a most
charming sight is one of the most
poisonous things imaginable, inasmuch
as it is poison in leaf and flower and
i.eed. Even the grass growing be"
neath it is poisonous by reason of its
proximity to the ittiocent looking blos
soms overhead, and it has been found
necessary to guard against cattle eat-
ing tu.. . . ... .: ... V
The bulbs of such dainty and be.i,
tifnl flowers as the narcissus, hyacinr
jonquil and snowdrop secrete the mo
deadly poisons, not to speak of tL
oralis, the', monkshood and the f o:
glove, all of which furnish noxiov
iiquors sufficient to destroy life.
To these"' may be added certain c
,the crocuses, the lovely lady's slippv:
the quaint old jack-in-the-pulpit r.n
the laughing little buttercup. The lai
ter, despite its most innocent appear
ance.' is one of the worst of the poi
sonous flowers. Even the cow is a war
of that and carefully avoids- it. Thi
cousins of the buttercups, the peo
nies, the larkspurs and the rest, all
contain toxic fluids. ' . -
