known railroad conductors, says the Indian
apOlls Mirror, is As fond OF dogs as Coleman
Wilson is OF cats, and generally has large
supply on hand at ali seasons. Lately he
came into possession of a Newfoundland
which didn't turn out well, and the cOndu"-

1T. In this emergency happy thought struck
him, and on his next trip the dog occupied

a little station away down the road

being more than sixty species. Reptiles
abound. among them species Of crocodile,
individuals OF which frequently grow TO thc
extra ordinary length OF thirty feet, and oc-

SO deadly as the English viper.
