Almost Swallowed by a Snake.

I am sworn enemy to everything Of a

London an exof1cer in the British army. to
-. Louis reporter During nv active
service IN the army | was stationed for a time
IN British Guiana. and While there had an eX-
perience with a. snake that was startling
enough to suit the most adventurous mind.
1 used to amuSe myself a good deal by
fishing in height oring river. one sultry
afternoon. tired out with unsuccessful sport,
| drew my canoe 10 shady spot on the river
bank. and. stretching myself in the bottom,
with my gun at my side. soon fell asleep. I
was soon reused from nv slumber by
curious sensation as though some ami
nal were licking my foot I glanced
down. and, TO my horror, saw the
head and neck Of huge serpent,
which was covering my feet with saliva
preparing. suppose. to swallow me
whole For an instant I was completely par
a!Yzed with rear and horror IN I a terrible
death seemed imminent but by super
human effort l regainel control OF my facul-

the canoe out of harns way by n single
stroke. The snake stlIl continued to writhe
around. half OF its immense body in the

another charge into its head. which put an

The President and the Governors.

. Gov Altgeld Of Illinois and Gov. Stone
Of Missouri resent the efforts the govern
ment is making to prevent the Interrupt
ton Of the mail service and the obstruc-
ton Of interstate commerce in their re
spective states Gov. Stone has de-
manded Of the United States marshal at
/ It. Louis his authority for calling for
/ United States troops to assist in protect
( ing mail trains, and Gov. Altgeld has re
quested the President to withdraw United
States troops from Illinois, and has writ
ten two lengthy dispatches in which he
endeavors TO show that the President had
10 right to rider troops to Chicago.
The Presidents reply to Gov. Altgeld
was evidently intended to allay the gov
ernor's irritation. He simply said he was
acting by authority OF the law, and he in
timated that II would be wise TO quell the
disturbance first and discuss the issue
raised by the governor afterward.
United States troops were not sent to
Chicago until the President was thor
oughly satisfied that the law permitted
him TO order them there, and that the
welfare, not only of Chicago, but of the
whole co lntry required that he should
order them there. He did not order them
there to preserve the peace, but to en-
orce the laws Of the United States and
Of the federal courts. He had a duty to
perform which had no connection with
state authority, and he proceeded to per
form it. What he did he did quietly and
IN a business like way. If the newspap ers
give fair expression of public sentiment.
his action is highly commended.
Neither the state nor city authorities
were doing anything to open a passage
for the mails and commerce, and it was
hoped that the government would sue
coed in doing SO. The melon growers of
Georgia, the wheat growers of the west,
and the vegetable growers in the vicinity
of Chicago wanted to get their products
into the Chicago market and could not
The whole country wanted meat from
Chicago and couldn't get it. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that there was gen
eral approval of the efforts of the govern
ment to open the channels of interstate
commerce.
Gov Altgeld would let the whole
country suffer and permit perishable
products to become worthless in the
hands of producers while he discussed
the Presidents right to send troops to
Chicago Even if his view is the right
one, lie would have shown wisdom by
delaying the discussion of it until after
the trouble was over; and besides he did
not know but that he might need United
States troops to assist in preserving order
and aving property.

The Epicure Paid the Interest.

An eptcure and almost rec,use in one of

supplied lavishly.
When madame the cashier, came over
with the bill the host shook her warmly

and forced each man to admit that he never
