ment modesty overcame fear, and he once
more halted The snakeehip evidently
pleased with his rapid transportation, mani
tested his gratitude by attempting to enfold
the legs Of our hero within his embrace.
With an explosive "ouch" and urged for
ward by circumstances over which he had
no control" poor John bounded on. The
next moment he was in full view off the girls
and as he turned the corner of the barn, the
snake came round with whiz something
after the fashion of coach whip.
Having reached the barnyard, to his dis
may he found the bars up. But time was
too precious to be wasted in letting down
bars. Gathering up his strength he bounded
into the air, snake ditto, and as he alighted
on the other side, his snakeship's tail cracked
across the upper bar, swapping like an India
cracker
Again John set forward, now utterly re-
gardless of the presence of the girls, for the
extra tick of the snakes tale as he leaped the
bars, banished all his bashfulness and mod
esty, and again he had the pleasure of find
ing the snake in straight line, drawing
steadily at the hem of his solitary gar
ment.
The house now became the center of at
traction, and around it he revoIved with the
speed of thought. -Four times in each revo-
luton, as he turned the corner, his snake
ship came around with whiz which was re-
freshing.
While describing the third circle, as he
came near the group of wonder struck girls,
without removing his gaze from the snake,
he managed to cry out
"CAIL MANI"
The next moment he whisked out of sight
and quick AS thought reappeared on the
other side of the house
"cALL A MANI
And away he whrled again, turning the
corner so readily that the whiz of the snake
sounded half way between whistle and the
repeated pronunciation Of double-e
Before either of the girls had stirred from
their tracks he had performed another revo-
luton
"CALL MANI
Away he flew but his strength was rapidly
falling. Nancy Clark was the first one to
recover her presence of mind, and seizing
hoop pole she took ber station near the corner
of the house, and as John reappeared she
brought it upon the snake with a force that
broke his back and his hold upon Johns
neither garment at the same time.
John rushed into the house and to his
room, and at tea time appearing in his best
Sunday suit, but little the worse for the
race, and to all appearance cured of his BASH
fulness. That night he walked home with
Nancy Clark. The next New Year they
were married, and now, whenever John feels
inclined to laugh at his wife's hoop, or any
other popularity. she has only to say "Call a
man, . when he Instantly sobers down.

Few persons, who have not been
conHected for any length of time with
a daily newspaper, can be aware of the
ceaseless strain upon the capabilities
of those whose unending duty il is to
furnish quota of news every day in
the year-Winter. Spring, Summer
and Fall-to supply the demands of
the great public; nor can it be estima-
ted until it is seriously undertaken.
Rain or shine, sick or well, cheerful
or gloomy-however unprepared the
mind may be for the diurnal task
the columns of paragraphs must como,
and must be furnished within given
hours. Somebody has written very
