SERIOUS FACTS.
A Truly Veracious and Perfectly Able
Bodied Story About Snakes.

A Truly Veracious and Perfectly Able
Bodied Story About Snakes.
However, when you get right down to
serious facts, there is nothing in the
whole realm of fancy that is so wonder
full as plain, simple truth. One day last
week a well-known minister of the Cos
pei, Rev. Elijah Cushionpounder, pastor
of the Second p. B. Church, of Way
cross Lots, while in the act of pulling
on his boots in the morning, felt some
thing cold and scaly in one of them,
and on taking it off found to his horror
that his boots were full Of snakes. He
walked across the room and calmly
picked up n poker, when one of the
snakes, lifting his head and looking
around the room, said: Excuse me;
but | fear there has been most annoy
ing blunder. Is not this Bill Flash
mans room?" The indignant clergy
man explained who he was. "A thou
sand pardons,' said the snake, covered
with confusion: 81 see we have got into
the wrong boots. viii you kindly di-
rect us to the Pies osaurian College of
Technical Terminology?" The min
lister did so and the snakes, to the num-
ber of thirty-eight, emerged from his
boots and with many apologies with
drew. An hour and a half later, a
JUNIOR in the famous college at Way
cross Lots jumped out of a second story
window in a fit of delirium tremens,
and falling heavily upon the venerable
president of the institution, who was
passing along below, Knocked some
sense into him. - Burdette, IN Brooklyn

Horace was standing in the upper
hall one day doing something which
his mother disapproved of and ordered
stopped. He continued at it after one
OF two prohibitions, and finally she
started toward him. He darted toward
the stairway and down the stairs with
such haste that he went two, three and
four steps at a time, and landed in a
heap on the floor. Gathering himself
up, he managed to climb upon a chair,
and sat there putting and painting un-
Ill his frightened mother reached him,
when he was just able to gasp out;
Mother, you oughtn't-to-to-hurry

Bear in mind that throughout the
entire State but little rain falls from
May till November. If you come here
in the middle of the dry season expect
ing to find the plains and foothills
covered with February grasses and
wild flowers, bitter disappointment
awaits. But wherever there is a stream
of water the dessert may be made to
blossom as the rose. And it often
seems as if these California homes,
with their velvety lawns and tinkling
fountains, their palms and magnolias,
their graceful vines and blossoming
shrubs; their wealth of semi-tropical
and Northern fruits, are best appre-
ciated in the brown setting of sum-
mer. Then their evergreen beauty
presents amore striking contrast than
when all nature is covered with the
lush verdure that follows the autumnal
rain.-A p adams, IN Christian al
