A STARTLING VISITOR.
Frightful Experience With
Blacksnake by a Fishing Party

rrtSnCIul Experience With q
Blacksnake by a Fishing Party.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
A snake story is being told about
town, and while it is little on the
''plpc" order its truthfulness is SOL
EMMY vouched for by number of
we'll known persons.
The scene of the story is small piece
OF wooded land on the bank of the
Little Miami river within a stones
throw of Batavia Junction, a station on
the Little Miami railroad, about fifteen
miles from this city. The persons who
were present were John Berne, head
6arkeeper at the Peoples theater; Sam
Satin, the popular officer at Kissel's
concert hall; Charles Beihle and George
otto. of the waterworks, and Dave
Gamble. Of Elmwood. The above
named party HE'D themselves to Batavia
junction last Friday and spent the day
fishing and hunting.
Shortly after o'clock the members
OF the party seated themselves under a
shade tree and made preparations to
partake of their monday lunch. They
nad scarcely commenced eating when
John Bernc, who claims he was per-
Iectly sober, called his companions at
tentlon to rustliug of bushes on the
NIL above where the party was seated
SafDn, Otto and Beihie looked in the
direction where Berne claimed he heard
the noise, but they failed to see any,
thing unusual. They then looked at
each other and, with smiles on their
races, they simultaneously asked
Berne If he had been taking a long
draw" The clever wet goods vender
declared that he was not talking
through his hat" and that he had heard
suspicious noise but few feet away.
The rest of the party continued to
laugh at the frightened Berne, and then
resumed their lunch. A few minutes
afterward a huge black snake rolled
itself into their midst The monster
caused panic among the pleasure
seekers. and, with the exception of SAT-
mn, they quickly fled from the spot. The
private Waterman, notwithstanding his
enfeebled cOndition-havng been i'll for
several days previOus-pitched into the
Serpentine monster and killed it with
heavy fence rail.
After Its death the snake was meas
ured. and its length proved to be eight
Ieet and nine inches. 1t was not
brought to the city, as the party had no
way OF carrying 1t. Frank Campbell, of
the American Express company, who is
Berne's brother-in-law, visited the
place last Sunday, but the green-eyed
monster had been carried away by
some one. Druggist Heineman, at
twelfth and Vine streets, also made an
effort to get the slain reptile, but it
could not be found, as its possessor eYi
IDENTITY does not care to part with it.

THE TURTLE DOVE.
Fable in Rhyme of the Loving
Turtle Dove and the Bear.

Fable in Rhyme Of the Loving
Turtle Dove and the Bear.
A coy little turtle dove loved bear,
Such bear.
The bear was black, and the dove was fair,
So fair.
And all the doves friends thought the bear
brute.
Twas fact, they said. beyond dispute,
And each friend told this turtle dove cute
TO beware,
To beware.
The dove needed not her friends advice,
Poor advice.
She would have that bear at any price,
At any price.
Though he was bear, IL mattered not
though be sometimes fumed and he some
times fought.
There was something about him that she
thought
Real nice,
Real nice.
So the turtle dove married the big black bear,
Big black bear.
And they were q tolerably happy pair,
Happy pair.
Though the bear was inclined to be some
what grutf,
AS rule his behavior was good enough,
Though his wife found him cross and trifle
rough,
She didn't care,
She didn't care
And every time the bear showed fight
Showed fight,
Into the air she would wing her flight,
Her flight;
She would fly away TO high. high tree,
To the tree called Womanly Dignity;
Up there she would perch SO saucily,
just in spite,
just in spite.
Then from the tree she would flutter down,
Way down,
To where the bear sat with dismal froWn,
Ugly frown;
She would tickle him gently under the chin,
Would this coy turtle-doye, sly as sin,
Till the frown gave way to big, broad grin.
Ugly frown,
Nasty frown.
To soften his ways her constant aim,
Noble aim,
SO the dove keptup her sly little game.
Naughty game;
So doclle and tame her husband grew
That he did just what she told him to.
A bear most loving, bear most true
He became,
He became.
She just twisted him round her little claw,
Dainty claw,
Twas the funniest thing you ever saw,
You ever saw;
He was trained i'll a way so neat and fine,
That nothing was needed 10 keep him in line
Three cheers for this little dove of mine
Hurrahl
Hurrah.
Hurrah!!!

Landseer's Famous Dogs.
Chicago Post.

Chicago Post.
Mrs. Richie, the English writer, SAYS
that in her young days she used to go to
Sir Edwin Landseer's beautiful villa in
ST. Johns Wood, and she tells the fol-
lowing story about one of the artists
dogs: Among his many stories remem-
Der his once telling US an anecdote of
one of his dogs he was in the habit of
taking out at the end of his work. The
dog used to wait patiently all day long
while Sir Edwin was painting, but he
used to come and lie down at his feet
and look up in his face toward O'Clock,
and on one occasion, finding his hint
disregarded, trotted into the hall and
came back with the painters hat, which
he laid on the floor before him.

A CRUSHED CONDUCTOR.
He Had Angered a Woman and
Had to Eat Humble Pie.

Had to Eat Humble Pie.
He was street car conductor and
also something of philosopher.
You see, it was this way" he said to
a Detroit Free Press reporter. THE
woman thought she was insulted, but
she wasn't. l had whole pocketful of
pennies and didn't want any more, but
she took some nickels and pennies from
her purse and carefully sorted out the
pennies for me. Well, | asked her if
she couldn't give me nickel instead
that was the fare, you knoW--and she
got mad. She said she never saw such
an insulting conductor in her life. l
told her intended no offense, and she
glared at me and said she would report
me; she would not stand such insolence.
'She did report to me, too. She SAID
that had refused to take five pennies.
and had treated her most insultingly. 1
was hauled up given her letter, and
told that l must 60 to her home and
apologize."
''Humiliating," suggested the list
ener.
II should say it was humiliating,"
went on the conductor ''Its the kind
of thing that just makes man shrivel
up, he feels so small"
"Of course you didn't go?'
"Of course did CO."
II should think a man with any
pride"
''Oh, yes, pride's all right. l figured
that out, and couldn't see that it 'ud
hurt my pride any more to go to her and
say 1 was sorry than it would to 60
chasing round town telling people:
please, mister, Pm poor, unfortunate
man who's out of a job. Can't you give
me something to do SOS | can keep
things going at the house?' No, sir.
When man stands on his dignity he
wants to sort of look around and see
where he is going to light if he topples
over. Sometimes fellow lights right
on top of his pride and brushes it so he
can't recognize it. Better make it knuc-
kle under little today than have to
smash it in the eye tomorrow"

SAVED FROM A LICKING.
A Young Bootbiack who Knew
How to Be Grateful.

A Young BootbIack Who Knew
How to Be Grateful.
1t is common saying that a kind
word is never lost.
An Illustration of the truth occurred,
says the Denver Republican, one after
noon recently at the corner of Sixteenth
and Arapahoe streets. A number of
newsboys and bootblacks were gathered
there, and in the course of their inter-

one of his fellows. little bootblack
about twelve years old, and it looked as
though they would come to blows.
just at this moment Superintendent I.
n. TOoke, of the Helping Hand institute,
CHANGED to be passing. He was at
tracted by the angry voices and threat
ening attitudes of the young gladiators,
who were being urged to blows by their
fellows. Stepping in the midst of the
crowd. with gentle hand and few
timely words he separated the young
diSputantS, and, at the same time, spoke

of large boy striking one smaller and
weaker than himself, The boys dis
persed and went their several ways.
The next morning. as he was on his
way to his office, he sped the little
bootblack at the same corner. AS he
was passing the boy hailed him, saying:
"Mister, I'd like to black your boots
for you, [ won't charge you nothin' for
it. You saved Inc from lickln' last
night, and I'd like to come up to your
office every day and black 'em for YOU"
Mr.. Tooke was taken by surprise, and
questioned the little fellow as to his
home and condition in life,

drunk pretty near all the time, and I've
got to hustle for myself. It's pretty

then again | have good day aud eat

The kind-hearted superintendent took
the youngSter into his office and gave
him an order for substantial break
fast, which made the boys eyes fairly
dance, and almost every morning he is
met by the young polisher of boots,
who never fails to solicit the privil eye
of putting OH gratuitous shine.

During local option election in a
Western town, both sides had a chal-

no fraudulent votes were sent in. A
nottingham with Celtic features offered
his vote. An ''optionist" committeeman
challenged his vote. The Celt was
sworn to truthfully answer the ques-

''How long have you resided in this
state?'
About two years."
Glow long have you been in indie

Nearly a year,
"Have you ever taken out naturaliza-

"Police, take this man into custody
for attempting to cast a fraudulent

WALKERS PLAN,
1t Is Practically an Old One of
Jay Gould's.

Jay Gould's.
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Chairman Walker,
of the Western Traffic association, has
a plan for an agreement to take the
place of the one that is about to pass
into history. But it is practically the
same thing that was proposed by Jay
Gould two or three years ago. There is
nothing new in it, in the first place; in
the second place, it is too large. The
general opinion at present is that
there should not be one association TAX
ing in everything west of Chicago
Sc st. Louis with several sub-associa-
tons with conflicting interests. That is
what wrecked the Western Traffic as
ISOLATION. What the lines of Chicago
want, according to the traffic officers.
is an association that will cover the ter
ritory between Chicago. st. Louis and
Colorado. with one chairman and rate
committees at Chicago. st. Louis. st.
Paul, Omaha, Kansas City and Denver.
The recommendatio of these rate
committees should be submitted to
general meeting. The agreement should
provide that the association rates and
divisions should be confined to the as
ISOLATION lines.

Why
Are they Wanted?

Because they never spoil nice
desserts.
Because the cakes, buildings,
creams, etc, are made to
please the most refined taste.
Because they are extracted by
a new method, from the true
fruit, so that each has its own
natural and distinctive char
acter. That is why DR..
Prices Delicious Flavoring
Extracts, Lemon, Orange,
Vanilla, etc, are wanted. To
the connoisseur the difference
between them and the COM
mon Flavoring Extracts is so
great that it cannot be ex-
pressed in words. A trial
will prove their superior
excellence.

in favor of one-way tickets In both
directions and general reduction in
rates of twenty-five per cent from May
until Nov. 80. This would make the
rate from New York to Chicago SIS.
The rOund-trip rate would be $50. Visi-
tors would save nothing by buying
round-trip tickets, but after visiting the
fair they could travel in any direction
they pleased at the reduced rates. OF
course the object Of this scheme is to
keep tickets out of the hands of scalpers.

Daniel Bishop, of Prentiss, walked di-
rectly into bear trap set in some under
brush, while out partridge shooting
Saturday, and for a time he fully real
lied the feelings of bruin under similar
conditions. 1t required some very hard
work to release him from the tolls, and
he was badly famed and bruised from the
effects of the mishap.
G. S. Cayting & Co., of Bangor, have
taken a contract to furnish an outside
firm with 10000 barrels of apples, of
which amount they have already shipped
two carloads. Apples are very plenty,
and this falls business with all of the
commission firms will be large.
Hon. J. P. Bass, treasurer of the
Maine Worlds Fair fund, has received
check for $500 from Francis Cobb & Co.,
of Rockland, which was the amount due
from that city to meet the apportionment
agreed upon for the outside fund which
Maine towns are raising to ensure a bet

THE PRESS.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

If the ballot was free and the count
fair at the Georgia election then it is
clear that the Peoples Party has made
no great inroads into the Democratic
vote in that state. But unfortunately
a free ballot and fair count are not to
be presumed of Georgia, so that it is by
no means certain that the result of the
election as declared represents the true
state of sentiment 1t was in Georgia
that Weavers meetings were broken up
and Weaver himself greeted with
shower of rotten eggs, a transaction
which indicated that the Bourbons had
made up their minds to down the Peoples
Party at any cost. Possibly they have
been able to do it without force or fraud,
but if either Of those agencies were neces-
sary there. would have been not the
slightest hesitation in using it.
Eventually the facts will come out and
then we shall know whether the 10000
majority for Northen represents the ac-
tual sentiment of the people of the state,
of whether it was in large measure the
product of force and fraud.
