So an Elevated Railway Guard Sizes Up

ST suppose that we see more people
than any other class of men," remarked
the guard on an elevated train to a New
York Tribune reporter. ''It's a crowd
all day long, and every day in the year."
"Weu, what sort of an opinion of hui
manity do you form?" asked the re-
porter.
"Sheep," replied the guard; "that's
the long and short of it. We catch all
kinds-rich and poor, old and young,
big and little, fat and thin-and they're
all flock of sheep, after all, with here
and there goat. See that man in the

"Sheep. See the seats at the other
end Of the car? Now watch"
The guard stepped inside the door
and said: "Seats at the other end of the
car, ladies and gentlemen" The strap
hangers looked surprised. One woman
and the boy went forward to occupy the
vacant seats; the other woman said she
preferred to stand and the man came
out on the platform.
Curious, isn't it?'' said the guard,
philosophically. each one of those
people stood because the others did and
every time we have full train that sort
of thing happens. A crowd collects in
one car or maybe at one end of a car.
The first one stands because there isn't
a seat and the others come in and stand
because he does. That's why call hui

full, two or three men will stand around

VIII Eclipse All Previous Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 5.-Two weeks from
to-day the Goth grand encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic will begin
in this city. Preparations for the occa-
sion have been made on scale so extern
sive that it will eclipse in completeness
and historic interest any previous re-
union of the organization.
One great feature of the whole affair,
and one to which considerable historical
interest is attached, will be the review,
In which the veterans taking part will
march over the same route they covered
in 80, when peace had been proclaimed
after four years. war, and 300, 900 boys in
blue celebrated the occasion by marching
in their tattered uniforms up Pennsylva-
mia avenue from the Capitol to the White
House.
The review of 81 years ago consumed
the better part of three days, but that of
September 20 of this year has been so ar
ranged that by marching in double col
umns the survivors will only be an hour
passing over the route
The formal opening will take place
Monday, September 10, on the grounds
surrounding the Washington monument.
President Harrison will make the opening
speech, and there will be an address Of
welcome and one on behalf of the Grand
Army

MarvelS of Power.

and which had been chained by means

Reptiles Frozen to Brittleness Warmed

Into Life In a Short Time.
The tenacity of life possessed by
snakes is very wonderful. Last winter
some men were digging well out in
the country and close to the Meramec,
in Missouri, when they came on a cavi-
ty in the ground which contained a
nest Of snakes. The weather was Bit
ter cold and the snakes were apparent
ly dead. They We're all blacksnakes
and harmless, so the men loaded them
into the bucket and sent them to the
top, just for a curiosity. They were
thrown out on the gr ound and in lit
tie while were frozen as stiff as so many
sticks. Their bodies became so brittle
with the frost that in hauling them
several were broken like icicles.
One of the men when he went home
at night took two or three of the
largest along to. frighten his wife, He
succeeded very well, according to the
Globe-Democrat, and, leaving the
snakes on the floor in the kitchen be-
fore the fire, sat down to eat his sup
per, forgetting all about them. While
the meal was in progress his wife, who
had left the room, suddenly gave ter
rife scream that made him jump in a
panic and run to see what was the mat
ter. AS he opened the kitchen door she
fell against him, almost fainting with
fright and too badly scared to tell
what allied her. He soon found out,
for on going in he at first. thought he
"had 'em again." for the room seemed
full of snakes. Warmed by the genial
glow of the kitchen fire, the frozen
snakes had come to life and were cours.
ing round the room with soul-chilling
energy. He did not care to tackle the
job of killing them there, SO he pushed
the outer door open and they soor
found their way out, and had not gone
one hundred yards before they were
stiff as ever with the cold. He followed
them out and finished them with pole
but says he will never trust snake
again, no matter how hard frozen

Who Stole as He Went Along.
BRIDGEPORT, Sep. 5.-The police here
are looking for James Reece, one of the
most enterprising horse thieves and burg
lars that has operated in this vicinity
for some time. Reece went to the barn
owned by Henry Bassett, and took a
horse; then he proceeded to Martin
Quilty's barn and appropriated a nice har-
ness; finally he went to Charles Laflelds
barn, and, putting the harness on the
horse, hitched him into a wagon.
He then drove to Eckart Bros brewery
and helped himself to several valuable
coats. He then stopped at saloon, and,
stealing large quantity of bad whiskey,
left the town by the Long Hill road. Sew
eral reports have since come of breaks
along the road, and it looks as if Reece
had made big haul.
