agent they treated him we'll. They took him
on hunting and fishing expeditions to the
neighboring mountains; took him to the
roundup camp and showed him the processes
OF catching and branding cattle and told him
heaps about "loco;" they also showed him
through the silver mines of that section, and
altogether made him have a really pleasant
time OF 1t. But the time came when his money
was about gone. He had drawn his salary I'D to
date. One night he stopped at lonely stage
station with his careless comrades and when
morning came he was minus all his MONEY! ex-
cepting ten dollars left in his vaiise at Eagle

were also stolen. To add to misery he was

night and finally hit upon a brilliant scheme
for getting home, which he put into effect the
next day with the aid Of a COWBOY

GOOD BUT NOVEL TICKET.
How Senator Wade Passed Q Friend
Into the Gallery.

The bane of the average Senator's life
Ia the request of his friends and con-
st~ituents for tickets of admission to the
Senate gallery when anything Of great
interest is going on upon the floor. says
the Boston Budget.
In later days, on great occasions, the
Senators have transferred the response
bility to the Sergeant-at-Arms. About
twenty years ago the whole duty devolved
upon them. Good-natured men were
made miserable by the demands MADE
upon them, and II Is told of big. burly
Ben Wade that at the impeachment of
Andrew johnson all Ohio demanded
tickets to the chamber.
He distributed his tickets with a lavish
hand, but they gave out sooner than his
constituents. He managed to make ex-
cuses to all but one. an old army chaplain.
who had come from b Lorthern corner
of the state, just to be present at the i'm
peacnment.
My tickets are all gone" said Senator
Wade, q" but perhaps l can serve you in
some other way"
There rs nothing else / want" sighed
the chaplain. II have heard that you
are q generous man, but this Is the first
favor / have asked after serving my coun-
try for three years, and besides, | have
come clenr from Ohio TO be present at the
impeachment OF Andrew Johnson"
The old Senator looked Mn over with a
merry twinkle in his eye, noticing espe-
rially the clerical cut of his coat, and
then. writing something on slip of paper,
said:
IN that d~oorkeeper is a Christian he
cannot resist that plea"
After he got out OF sight the Ohioan
looked at the paper. and on it were these
words
For Gods sake, let this man in, Ben
Wade"
Whether il was IN imprecation or an APP
peal he could not tell. but he wisely de-
cided to consider it the latter, and passed
into the gallery under cover of the door
keeper, surprise at the novel ticket Of
admission.

q who was wasting an hour in the ro-
tunda of the Southern Hotel few nights
ago, II once witnessed q sight that made
my blood freeze, and I cannot think of Il
now without shivering," says a writer in
the Globe democrat.
II was in Savannah, Ca, and stepped
into n barroom that is kept by q man
named John Sullivan, TO get q drink.
There was a crowd Of ioyia fellows
laughing and chatting in there az they
drank. and suddenly one OF them eI-
claimed: Scatter, for Gods sake, boys;
the snakes out! y
II thought he had 'em but he hadn't. A
negro who lived out near the swamps,
about three miles from the city, had
caught n huge %rattler, fully hve feet in
length, in a barrel. and had boxed II up
and brought it to the city. sullivan
bought il as a curiosity and put IL in Q
cage in the saloon, and the reptile had
got out of his cage and was crawling
about the floor.
ut wouldn't do TO let the creature get
out, for it was q terror. and the boys were
in q quandary to know how TO catch II.
Presently saw one little b~lack-haired
fellow afterward learned that his namo
was Jack A~brams-start for the snake
with one foot stuck way out in front OF
him, hopping along on the other.
when he got within five or six feet OF
the creature the snake coiled up and gave
his warning rattle-and let me tell you
that if ever you hear a RATHER sing you will
never forget the sound
Abrams paid no attention to the warn
ing. but kept IN hopping closer and
closer, aud presently the snake struck
him on the leg six inches above the shoe
top.
~ drew my revolver and wanted TO
shoot the reptile, but every one shouted
Don't = and l put the pistol up. Abrams
and the snake had 1t ont right there.
He tried to get his foot on its head,
and it struck him half a dozen times at
least, but Abrams was successful finally
and succeeded in mnshing the snakes
