There is certain GOODNESS almost to
be called positive want Of cordially
between snakes and human beings.
More, the snake is never a social favor
lite among the animals called lower. No
body makes an intimate friend of a
snake. Popular natural history books
are filled and running over with anec-
dotes Of varying elegance and mendac-
ity. setting forth extraordinary affec-
ton and cooperation between cat and
a mouse. horse and a hen, pig and a
cockroach, camel and lobster. a COW
and n wheelbarrow and so on, but there
is never a snake in one Of these quaint
alliances. Snakes do not do that sort of
thing, and the anecdote designers imag-
nation has not yet risen to the feat Of
compelling them, although the stimulus
of competition may soon cause it.
The case most nearly approaching one
of friendship between man and snake
known to me is the case of Tyrrell, the
zoo snakekeeper. and his ''laidly worms. "
But then the friendship is mostly on
Tyrrell's side, and, moreover, Tyrrell is
rather more than human. as any one
will admit who sees him hang boa con
strictors around his neck. OF course
one often hears of boys making pets Of
common English snakes, but a boy is
not human creature at all. He is a
kind Of harry. Morrison in

DisrObea In the Street.

There is a young colored damsel in
Washington whose soul is ut present
filed with wrath because of the sum-
mary action taken by society woman
to whom she had been handmaiden.
With ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain the young woman proved her
self conversant by making away with
articles of value. Among these was a
silk dress of which her mistress had been
especially fond. Though accused of the
theft. the woman stoutly denied it and
took her dismissal, vehemently protesting
her innocence. Not long afterward, as
the daughter of Ham was sailing down
the street in all the glory of the stolen
garment, she came upon her mistress
rapidly walking toward her with the
look Of great purpose in her eye.
Retreat was impossible, as was fail
ure to comply with the astonishing de-
mand that she then and there divest
herself of the gown. As the alternative
was to be Immediately handed over to
the police. the perturbed young woman
did as she was bid with all speed posi-

tell the tale she stood with her ebony

Let us not vigorously crowd the Indi-
ans to abandon tribal organization. If
this is done before they are ready for it,
they will surely lapse into degradation.
Let them remain in compact bodies on
reservations to help one another over the
change and do not compel them to COM
mingle and compete with the white race
in struggle in which they must be hope
lessly doomed. Slowly by law and by
instruction teach them the value of our
property laws. Do not force citizenship
upon them. but let them sue for it. We
should hold ourselves ever ready to grant
it, but let them first discover its benefits.
