zen Water Pipes.
A Norwich correspondent writes the
Hartford Courant: AT the last holiness
meeting of the Reform club an old lady
told about her steadfast faith and it's re-
ward. In the cold snap, she said, all the
water pipes in our neighborhood were
freezing up every night and gave us a
great deal of trouble. Plumbers had to be
sent for every day. Finally I said
one night: I'll have no more trouble
with my pipes; I'll leave them for God
to take care Of And so I did. The
next morning went to them early, fully
convinced that they would be found all
right. And SO they were. The water
poured right out when turned the faucets.
But all the neighbors' pipes were frozen
stiff. By and by some of them came tc
see me, and they said: why, Mrs --
how is it you ever manage to keep you1
pipes from freezings Mine and all the
rest in the neighborhood are frozen solid
Then told her of my faith and what had
done, and she went home to think of it. ,

~PARK-"MY PARTNER"
For strong interest. dramatic force and
naturelness, "My Partner" which is the attrac-
tion this week at the Park, is the best of Bart
ley Campbell's plays. Indeed. it Is commonly
regarded as the best purely American play
over written. The comedy and pathos are SO
deftly mingled in it as to make it attractive to
oil theater-eoers, and the effects are so ingen-
iously brought about as to almost destroy the
illusion Of the stage. There were two large au-
disnces to see it yesterday. and they manifested
so much enthusiasm over the performance as to
call the curtain M at the end OF each act, and

south of here, the engineer was treated
to novel sight. At this point the road
runs through swamp, and the grade is
but slightly higher than the water and
mad. While gong along at a fair speed,
the engineer noticed II queer ball or
bunch OF something, about 100 yards
ahead III the centre of TIE track. The
morning was somewhat foggy and rather
cold. Before he could clearly See if it
was really an obstruction, the engine
was almost on it. Then, to his amaze
ment, he saw it was ball Of snakes,
They We're all rolled and twined in to-
gether, with their heads sticking out in
GH directions, and about the bulk of a
blshel basket. The engine struck them
far and threw the bunch into the air,
when 1t burst, and the snakes flew in all
directions, some on the cowcatcher,
others on the engine and ons or two
managed to alight near the cab.
The engineer says the snakes were all
colers and sizes and kinds, the big black
snakes predominating. He saw them
sqmrming on the running gear of the
engine, and he put on an extra head of
steam and pulled ahead as fast as posi-
BILE At the next station, some five
miles below, the crowd at the platform
gave the locomotive a wide berth. An
examination and search revealed over
ten big black whip, COW and water
Snakes. The section master afterward
said ut WIS common sight on cold,
frosty mornings to see such snake halls
Where the engine struck the mass the
remains OF fifteen serpents were found, a
few large. 1t is said probably $50 and
over were together when disturbed.
