would rather be sweet than smart? Has
the gentle girl gone with the 'huzzy." the

citaL Last Monday morning when s. L

mill engine. located about three miles be-
low Cambria, a snake over a foot long was
discovered In the flre-box. The fire was
lighted. whereupon his snakeship proceeded
through the iues of the boiler up TO the
base OF the smokestack- Here tie heat
and smoke drove IL into the mouth Of the
exhaust pipe. 1t then passed into the en-
CINE and on through the cutoff valve into
the cylinder. When the steam was turned
on the snake emerged through the cylinder
waste-cock badly burned. but whole snA
still wriggling. Alexander j. knouse de-
clares that during all the years he has fired
engines nothing OF the kind ever occurred
before. neither has he ever heard OF the like.
The snake certainly took the only route
through the boiler and engine that offered
the least chance TO prolong its life. but was
not proof against the hot steam, which
forced Il out Of the waste-cock At The bot
tom of the cylinder.

THE AMERICAN aDRUMMER.-

FROM the Kansas City Star.
The commercial traveller OF the United

the world and humanity. Genealogically,
ne Is descended from the bagman OF the
last century, who figures in so many good
stories; he who first Travelled on horseback
selling goods by sample. as distinguished
from the peddler who sold the articles them
selves. The bagman. deriving his title from
his saddlebags. represented the extension
OF commerce and the growth of manu-
factures. He effected the direct connec-
ton between the wholesaler and the re-
taller. between the port and the interior,
between the centers OF commerce and man.

was the ambassador. the missionary OF
trade With the coming Of railroads and

saddlebags gradually disappeared and so
