GENUINE JOINT SNAKES.

A Story for which New Mexico, Not

Says the White Oaks, N. NJ. Leddor:
Two genuine joint snakes were brought
into this city Tuesday evening by
Pueblo Indians. The largest was
about two feet, eight inches in length,
and the smallest about sixteen inches.
Parties in this city purchased them and
many curious experiments were made
with them. The small one had four.
teen joints. 1t was taken apart and the
pieces widely separated. Gradually
1t started putting itself together, joint
by joint, beginning with the head joint,
and in the course of few minutes II
was again q connected snake. A joint
was then taken from the small
snake, and exchanged for one in
the large one. The two snakes started
off, but Immediately discovered some
thing was wrong and after counting
their joints unwrapped the wrong
ones, and voluntarily exchanged.
They seemed to recognize their
own joints by the smell. After
this two joints were taken ou,
of the large snake, and one piece
was placed on the steps of Mr.. Glider.

way in front of the governors office
The remainder of the snake wriggle
around for moment, and was then
taken with choking sensation and

A BELLIES SAD HISTORY

A roly-poly little girl
Was when was 8,
Rosy and round, with clust'ring hair
never could get straight;
And everybody used to say
When passed through the street:
"Just see the dumplingl Doesn't she
Look sweet enough TO eatY'
At 12 was the envy OF
The other girls at school;
As fresh and blooming as q rose,
The boys i used to rule.
And Cousin VIII at Christmas time
In an admiring tone
Exclaimed the moment that we met:
"Why, Mollie, how you've grown!"
AT 10 was quite belle,
My skirts were heightened out,
And conquests by the score made
AT party, ball and rout
My form was perfect, all the girls
Declared, and not few
Sighed. "Oh, dear Mol, how do wish
were as plump as you"
Alasl II | could only have
stopped growing there and thenl
was the envy OF the girls,
Admired by all the men,
But every year stouter grew
Beaux left me after that
And now / hear them whispering:
"Good gracious, aint she fatr'

Wns Emory storrs Poisoned =

The st. Paul q lobe publishes a sen
satlonal story to-day, which is repro
duced in a special to the New York
World this morning, to the effect that
the late Emory A. Storrs came to his
death by poison, at the hands of the
enemies of Joseph G. Mackin, the con.
vic,ed ballot box stuffer. At the time
of his death, which occurred Septem-
Der 12, 1885, as was supposed from
paralysis of the heart, Mr.. Storrs was
in Ottawa, H., engaged in Mackin's
dcfense and 1t is said that he had been
cautioned to be on his guard against u
certain class of men who feared moth.
ing so much as the exposures he was
certain to make of their corrupt opera
tions on Mackin's trial. II is further
stated that as soon as Mackin heard of
Storrs' death, he gave up his case as
lost, which it was, for month later he
was in the Joliet penitentiary under u
five years sentence for perjury. The
theory of the story is that the gang
leaders," as they were known, made
way with Storrs to insure their own
safety by administering digitalis in his
liquor on several occasions, until
enough of the insidious poison had
been absorbed in his system to cause
his death.
