1t would seem that the new Postmaster
General does not subscribe to the new
doctrine recently ventilated at Washing
ton and greatly approved by hungry
place hunters there. On Saturday q
nervous employee of the Postoffice De-
partment tended his resignation, but Mr.
Wauamaker declined TO accept it. He
told the man to 60 back to bis desk and
attend to his work. when get time

the Postmaster General. IF you have
been faithful and efficient. you won't be
disturbed IL you haven't been. you
needn't go through the formality Of re
signing" That is soand doctrine.

ROping Il Boa.

After about an hour of crawling and
pushing through, our men suddenly
stopped and began to point ahead,
chattering and gesticulating. Look
ing the way they pointed, we saw in a
tree an immense boa constructor wav-
ing his head to and fro, with his scales
glittering in the sun. My friend said
''Get back, quick, he is preparing to
jump" and we did SO as fast as posi-
BILE. After consulting a few moments
the Malays cautiously advanced with
a lasso, which by dexterous throw
caught the snake around the neck, and
jumping behind a tree they tightened
it on him. He thrashed and pulled, and
it was all the four Malays could do to
keep from being urawn near enough
for him to crush hem, and once or
twice it seemed - though he would
get them.
We could have shot him at first, but
they wanted to capture him alive.
After while by pulling and choking
him. they made him give up and pulled
him down from the tree. He was a
big fellow, twenty feet long and very
large around. They have oreat
strength, and this one 1 was assured
could swallow goat or a calf. He was
probably looking for leopards that are
plenty there. living principally on
monkeys, and the snakes also catch
them when they can; but usually the
monkey is cleverer than the snake.
They sometimes gather in big bands
and club the boas to death.
The Malays made cage very quick
ly, cutting lengths of bamboo and
notching them together. into which
they put the snake, and swinging it
on two poles marched of with it on
their shoulders. Forest and Stream.
