armfnl Of papers. threw himself care
lessly in the chair, adjusted his glasses,
turned to the editorial page Of The Trib-
une, began reading one Of his own ar
ticles, and, without raising his eyes to
me, said. ~Fire away" He had a great
armful Of papers, which he threw on the
floor at his feet. When ! was ready TO
take the picture ! posed him properly
and made a very good impression. l
took him in several positions, and no.
ticed that every time there was mo-
meat's delay with the camera he picked
up his papers aud began reading with
avidiiy.
At the same time took group por-
trait Of Greeley, with Whitelaw Reid on
one side and Sinclair on the other. l

oak tree several feet in diameter and
very tall. found in its top two common
blacksnakes.

men arrived at the conclusion that one
snake had taken hold Of each others
tail. and thus by cooperation they had
been enabled to clasp the trunk, and by

could have wrapped itself nearly twice

the snake passed right and left at short
distances, catching the folds along its
under parts over and behind the slightly
pro jecting roughness Of bark.
As the snake rested only five or SIX
feet of the ground one of the young men
grasped its tail to test lis climbing quail
ties, but 50 great was the force with which
It pulled. upward that it proved difficult
