mountansides and through the canyons.
He catches from 80 to 2C0 snakes In sum-

$500 worth of oil from them. The market
price for the product Is 81 an ounce, and
there is little f1uetuation. Rattlesnake oil
is used in rheumatic cures, and in ointments

THE MAN With A CANE,
He Gets in His Fine Work on The Stairway Of
a Ferry Steamer.

He was portly and dignified business
man of Oakland. and he crossed on the
narrow-gauge boat Encinal to San Fran
cisco yesterday. accompanied by statwart
cane. The boat was a little late in reaching
the slip at the mole, and the passengers
from three trains were waiting wien the
doors were opened.
The man with the cane crossed the lower
deck, and, grasping the stair-rail. tucked his
faithful stick under his arm and prepared
10 ascend. Half way up he dropped little
parcel he held in his hand, and stopped TO
pick 1t up. As he did so the iron ferrule Of
his cane struck the chin of charming
society belle OF Oakland. who was directly
behind him.
There was feminine shrek and mo
mentary backward movement of the crowd,
which caused the man with the cane to turn
and look behind him. the cane traversing
Semicircle about his rotund form as he
moved.

firmly just above the last vest button of 4
rising young attorney who had been just
about to serve an injunction on the offend

tary obeisance. and the wand of sIbjec-
tion passing over his head describing a
parabola that cut clean through the cloud
of semi-legal profanity that was beginning
to im2art blush tinge To the atmosphere,
prodded the eye of one passenger, flliped
playfully the nose of another. and finished
up its work by catching in the back hair Of
its original victim.
There is no knowing what developments
might have followed the next turn had not
a quiekwitted passenger reached M and
with his hand struck down the projecting
point. with forcible injunction TO the bearer
to keep it down.
1t took the battered passengers the whole
time of the trip across to take account Of
damages sustained, and when the boat
reached the wharf they we're still debating
whether they should pitch the fool with the
cane overheard or point him out to the
members of the band as a man who en-
joyed hearing Comrades" played and would
always give dime to the fends executing
that musical masterpiece.
