Railroad D epredations
BY Edwin f. Droop, from Home an
Country for April.


BY Edwin f. Droop, from Home and
Country for April.
The express train from st. Panl
to Duluth made a short stop at
Pine City. After the train was al
ready in motion, young woman
was seen to run along the plat
form and jump into car in which
were only few gentlemen. Throw.
ing herself in corner seat she be-
gan to cry Historically, and the
sympathetic men, feeling compass
sion for the poor creature, natur-
ally offered their assistance, and
inquired the cause of her violent
emotions. She hesitated in her re-
ply: but at last, amid a goOdly
flow of tears, related that against
her will she had been forced by
her parents to marry man
whom she did not love. A few
days previous she had arrived at
Pine City, his home, and he at
once began to ill-treat her, sold her
jewelry, took her money, and she
was now forced to protect herself
to leave the stown and return to
her parents, as she could not live
with him any longer. During her
recital she showed several marks
and scars on neck and arms-not
neglecting to expose portion of
her beautiful form, whilst remain
ing within the limits of propriety
inflicted by the cruelty of her
husband. Although he watched
her carefully, she had managed to
escape from him, and was able to
jump into the moving train.
Her wish was to return to
her parents, who lived in Jeffer-
son, Nebraska; but this she
could not do, as her husband had
taken all her money, and, at that
moment she did not have a cent
in her pocket. One word led to
another; she removed her jewelry,
consisting of bracelers, earrings,
and watch, gave her name and
parents address, and one Of the
gentlemen was kind enough to adj
vance her one hundred dollars.
At the next station, amid assur-
ances of everlasting gratitude and
the most charming ooh, l thank
you, SIR" she left the car to take
another train south-bound. The
gentlemen who gave her the
money, it Is needless to say, was
sold, the jewelry was worthless
trash, and the story of the cruel
husband was a trick Electrically
presented by an experienced thief.

The secrets of snake charming are
much simpler than most people imagine.
The snakes 10 be handled are gor%ed
with food until they become drowsy. or
else they ale drugged so that their
senses are dazed. Sometimes they are
kept in icebOxes. and the cold puts them
in semitorpid condition. In either
case the snakes are only half alive.
In handling the reptile the hand must
always grasp it at certain places where
the head can be guided and held from
the body. This is the hardest thing to
learn; but, like everything else, it
comes with practice. By dint of dex-
terity and strength the snake is easily
passed from one hand TO the other and
is allowed to coil about the body. The
snake charmer, however, must be on
the alert. When the snake becomes too
lively, it is put back into the icebox.
In handling a reptile with the fangs
in-which ought to be prohibited by
law-one requires great strength, as the
strain on the system during the per
formance is very great. The grasp and
movements must be precise and accu-
rate. There is no room for hesitancy or
uncertainty. Most of the snakes han
died, however, are harmless SO far as
poisoning is concerned Rob
inson in LippinCott s.
