Sing Sing prison. One day as he approached
the entrance a mild.mannered prisoner held
out pair of small white hands chained to-

"Sheriff," he said in pitifu accents, "look
at those hands. They will be no good in the
quarries. I'm here for 10 years. It'll kill me
to go into the quarries. You might as well
put a titled lady In Laundry"
"Ah, be aisy, now" said Paddy. "You
talk so much that you twisht the eye Of me-"

sudden interest.
"Its my last $Ioo," the prisoner continued
in low tone, land it's yours il you'll only
keep me out Of the quarries."
"What can ye do now?" Paddy inquired.
"Any light work." was the reply. Cant
you get me something easyl"
"Well-now-I don't know Are ye

"Handy with penn" repeated the captive
with sudden energy. "Heavens, man, I'm
too handy. That's what I'm here for. "-[ New

Baron Won Schceler, Of Corpus Christi, has
a strange pet. It's an immense snake Of the
anaconda species. The Baron's strange infu-
ence upon his horrid prisoner has been such
as to reduce it to fawning docilily. At the
merest sound OF the Baron's voice, the reptile
Immediately manifests a sedse of perfect de-
light by describing such variety of evolutions
as to amaze one. 1t will actually assume a

and in twinkle, assume the reverse by resting
upon its tail; and all this and much more while
the Baron stands fastened in the den Of the
writhing, squirming, acrobatic monster.

making this pasiime Of the cowboy felony
instead Of a misdemeanor. Mr.. Odom, the
Representative from Mr.. Hunts district,
bought about $I7,ooo worth of posts and
wire for the purpose OF fencing " square
miles Of land. A large force of cowboys col

place, made an Immense funeral pyre, upon
which they placed the valuable coils Of wire,
and fired the whole as a burnt offering TO the
days that were fast passing by, when they
were lords Of all they surveyed.
