He Crushed the Senator.

Senator Evarts relates with much
zest little story of his adventures
with the dignifed and important clerk
of the State Department. On his way
to call on Secretary Blaine the other
day he wished to make some inquiry.
and as he was passing through the
corridor accosted a young man whom
he thought he had seen in the depart
ment, saying to him: 81 beg your par
don, sir, but are you not clerk in the
State Department." The young person
addressed stopped short, gazed at the
great statesman, who was once the
head of the department and whose
fame is as broad as the two hemis-
pheres, and in tone in which disgust
was mixed with wounded pride, re-
piled: mo. sir, | am not / am not a
clerk in the State Department.. l am
an attache of the Foreign Office" SEN
ator Evarts was SO astounded by this
display of dignity and anglomania that
he says he actually forgot tn inquiry
which he had intended making of the
young person, and walked on quite
crushed. d.-Chicago Herald,

She sighed little tired sigh, and then Nell
heard her say,
In tiny tired little voice, that sounded far
away:
"Oh, dear! how very nice it is for once to get
outside
You've no idea how fiat it is, my dear, until
you've tried,
To be shut up in a story-book with Dragons,
Queens and Kings,
And always have to do and say the same old,
senseless things;
You think it would be very fine, but really it's
no joke!
I'd rather be girl, like you!-"

A Romantic Country Infested by MilliO
of Rattlesnakes.

A Romantic Country Infested by Millions
of Itattlesnakes.
Going by carriage road, the distance
from Ensenada to Santo Tomas is
thirty-fve miles, via San Carlos and
the Mancadero valley. 1t is a delight
full two-days' trip. through wilder
ness of wild flowers, infested by the
biggest snakes that ever waved warn
ing rattle. There are purling streams,
and messy banks, and romantic groves
of wide-spreading oaks and mahogany
trees, and miles of Ox-eyed daisies
nodding above the carriage top-but
the trail of the serpent is over them
all, and 1.-The tramp of the coming
millions" which some body heard on
the summit of the Rockies, will have
to come a good deal nearer to these
waste plains beforeathe wriggling and
rattling aborigines will be sensibly di-
minished.
So narrow is the valley of st. Tomas
that in some places it can scarcely be
called more than mountain gorge;
but if ever the old hymn anent Sweet
Fields Arrayed in Living Green" ap-
piled to any spot on earth, it is right
here in this isolated place, shut in on
all sides by sea-encompassed heights.
The river furnishes water enough to
supply both villagers and rancheros
in the Arcadian vale; and by
judiciOus irrigation, the fruits and
grains of both tropic and temperate
zones flourish wonderfully side by side.
Though Mother Earth is SO generous
ly inclined giving also an abundance
of such small game as quail, snipe,
duck, ETC., besides river and sea food
in the form of fish, CLANS and turtles,
strange to say, the tawny skinned fol-
lowers of the good Saint Tomas prefer
such un-Acadian ''meat victuals'' as
pork and rattlesnakes to any other
diet. The Indians make a regular
business of killing the rattlers, which
they turn to profit in three ways.

cut off the head, which contains the

deftly strip off the skin, it having be-
come fad among visitors to Lower
California to carry home as many
cured snake-skins as they can get hold
of to keep as curiosities or to wear for
belts and hat-bands.
One can buy them beautifully cured,
averaging five feet long and six inches
wioe when spread out flat, or left
whole and stuffed, for one dollar
apiece; and very beautiful they are,
with their white diamonds clearly de-
fined on dull brown or glossy back
ground. The oil (and each good con-
ditional snake contains great deal)
pells readily at the rate of two dollaRs
per ounce; and then the thick, white
flesh, when fried, is considered the
daintiest of morsels. - over Cali

How to Reduce 1t by Regular Exercise
and Correct Diet.
The woman who is plump at eight
cen, whose dimples are charming, and
who delights in her rounded arms and
the neck in which the bones do not
show, suddenly discovers, when she
gets near thirty, that she is inclined to
be what is politely known as ''feshy."
The flesh has got soft and fabby, and
she stands in front of her mirror and
gazes at her arms and neck with hor-
ror. First of all, she might as well
make up her mind that she is not go
ing to try killing herself by taking any
quack medicine with guarantees to
make her look like Sarah Bernhardt.
Instead, she will arrange her diet to
not mean that she must starve herself.
AS certain as she attempts to live on a
glass of milk and a bunch of grapes,
just so certainly will her flesh disap-
pear, and left in its place will be
wrinkles, and she will look ten years
older, even if she is ten pounds less in
weight. Now, to lose some of the
extra flesh you want first of all to exer-
else either by riding or walking with
regularity walk two miles one
day, tire yourself out and then not
walk again for a week, but instead of
that have a regular distance and keep
to it. Then have something to do
laziness and fat are intimate friends
and work in sympathy. Avoid all
sweet wines, all sweetmeats, pastry,

any vegetable that has much starch in

THE BEST FIDDLE
'Tis not the greatest singer,

'Tis not the greatest singer,
Who trles the loftiest themes,
He is the true joy bringer
Who tells h S simplest dreams
He is the greatest poet
Who will renounce all art,
And take his heart and show it
To every other heart;
Who writes no learned riddle,
But sings his simplest rune,
Takes his heart-strings for fiddl.
And plays his easiest tune.
Don't ply maid with speeches
She can not understand,
For Love, the lisper, breaches
In low, soft words, not grand.
Leave the high stars above you,
Attempt no lofty art;
The little words: 81 love you,"
Will nestle inner heart;
They will unwind Loves riddle,
Make life an endless June,
Take your heart-strings for a fiddle
And play your easiest tune.

MR.. MACUIRE HERE.
A Large Piece of Inform alton AL
most "Misoverlooked."


Cornelius Mcguire OF Eddyville,
Iowa, made IA desperate attempt to
break into print Friday morning, and
only desisted when told that his name
would be published in full.
Mr.. Mcguire, who is large, red
man with iron-gray hair, is road
master of the Iowa Central road. Last
week he was attending four days
convention OF railroad foremen in the
city, and on Friday morning he drop
ped into the Office to have an under
standing with the editor.
For the last fifteen years. said
Mr.. Mcguire, who was told to state his
grievance TO the snake editor, Il have
been regular subscriber TO your
weekly paper and want IL square
deal. Here we have been sitting in
convention for four days and you have
neglected to give us any notice All the
other papers grasped at the opportu-
nifty last night and / want to know
why you folks didn't come to time"
What were the names of those
papers?"
well, there was the Chicago Daily
and q couple OF Others" replied the
aggrieved Mr.. Mcguire, making u
tremendous effort recall the names
A careful inspection OF the files
failed to disclose any mention Of the
convention, fact which greatly aston
ished the railroad man.
That's funny he said, seating
himself in the EDITORS richly upholster-
ed chair, land it's probably a misover-
look on the part of the press. But you
people are away behind the times.
Down in St Louis last year we had
five reporters at the convention, and
they put my name in all the papers,
marked copies of which sent home.
But il you want some points now | can
give 'em to YOU" said the obliging
Mr.. Mcguire.
On being assured that any little
courtesy on his part would be properly
appreciated. Mr.. Mcguire proceeded:
well, you might mention that G..
Mcguire and daughter of Eddyville,
Iowa, are visiting in the city, and that
they paid The Times a visit in its Of
flee. That is all, l guess. Say, you
might lend me your city directory, " he
remarked. as his eye fell on the book.
IL want TO take it around to the hotel
and look up the addresses of some rel
atives I've got living in this town. No?
Can't spare it? All right; don't want
to see 'em very bad, anyhow" And
Mr.. Mcguire, having received a salts
factory square deal, took his departure.

SAILORS, BOARDING HOUSE.

A most ingenious and happy combi-
nation is Faith, Hope and Charity.
This is an arm piece and costs the sum
of one dollar. 1t can be worked in one
or two colors as desired. In the fore
ground is q low and very red heart.
Behind this marvel of anatomy are the
cross. and anchor, representing Faith
and Hope" From the anchor ring dan
giles red rope and the top of the cross
is finished off with what is supposed to
represent halo in vermillion. The
price for this gem makes il favorite
among tars and it is an easy working
piece.
Sunrise at Sea" makes pretty
hand or arm design and is produced at
seventy-fve cents a sunrise.
A design intended only for the
breast, is found in the painting called
the Monitor and the Merrimac, which
is produced for six dollars. The sub
! iect is true to nature, and thrilling
spectacle, representing the famous
vessels in terrific combat on the hirsute
! bosom OF the mariners. This infiama-
tory sketch and naval engagement is
considered extra, and the sailor who
has it pierced into his hide is the pri de
and envy OF his fellows.
The Sailors Farewell" breast, 81.
is the subject of a striking sketch that
is supposed to bring peace to the heart
OF the owner. 1t is intensely pathetic
scene, and depicts the parting of a
couple. The dramatis persona is a
bold sailor boy and thick red girl.
The scene is laid on the porch OF a
dance house, and is true to nature.
The youth has his cap pulled over his
eyes, his arm about the waist OF the
red girl whose face is hidden on his
bosom. A companion 10 this artistic
piece is the Sailors Return" In the
Wild exuberance OF his Joy, the sailor
