THE BABY AND THE SNAKE.
The Child Fed and Petted Deadly Black
 Snake and Was Not Hurt.

snake ana was NOC 6urbs
 Snake stories were the order of tho evening when B. H. Winterbower of Meade county, Ky, said II can tell you one that is true to the letter and quito as surprising as any of your yarns. A sister in-law of mine living in the vicinity of Garret, Ky, had girl baby hardly years old and not able to talk plainly. She con tracted habit of taking cup of bread and milk every morning and strolling of into some high weeds back of the horse pond. Her mother thought nothing of it until finally her curiosity was aroused, as the child could not be prevailed upon to sit in tho house and eat and would say in infantile prattle, Give pretty sing some.
 "One day her mother followed her, and tho sight sho beheld almost caused her to swoon. She screamed, grabbed the child and ran to tho house She was too agi- tated for time to speak, and then only in disjointed sentences, until she had torn the child's clothing off and carefully ex- amined it. Finding she was unhurt she became calmer and told what she had dis covered She saw her child sitting in the weeds with her bread and milk in her lap and in front of her a big black snake. She was feeding the snake with the bread and milk. The child showed not the slightest fear. On the contrary, she was in high glee and seemed to be delighted with her strange pet The snake was killed the next morning. The child seemed to miss it, and for week or more she had big cry at not being allowed to go out as usual. to feed it "--St Louis Globe Democrat.

 Before theaters were built in Texas com. panies going there would play in the schoolhouses. A manager upon his arri val in town was assured by the inhabitants whom he met that he would have "big crowd to the show that night"
 The countonance of the hopeful man. ager beamed with delight upon the school house after supper, for there he found such large crowd standing at the door that he became almost delirious with visions of the ponderous bags of silver he would car ry from that town. He felt as if he walk ed on air as he pushed his way through the crowd, opened wide the schoolhouse doors and told the janitor to light the lamps The lamps were soon lighted, the ticket box open, and the managers smile reached greater distance than he ever dreamed his mouth would stretch. His heart beat faster than for weeks before.

Miss Marie Tempest. whose many suc-
cesses upon the English and American

Those playing emotional roles are more
susceptible TO stage fright than others,

news Of his death will be received with
deep regret by his friends. lie was well
known as the secretary Of the Irish Land

nix park, Dublin. Byrne was at that time
In London, as the league Office had been
moved over there whea GladstOne's coer.
cion act was enforced.

later and accused by the Dublin police OF
having brought the knives with which the
murder was committed over from London
secreted IN the folds OF her dress. She was
detained in Dublin castle and was sub
jected TO the most severe inquisltion, after
which she was released.
Byrne moved TO Paris about the time
that Hon. Patrick Egan, ex.minister "a
Chill, came to this country. The French
government refused England's request fol
Byrne's extradition, aud he came to this
country after repeated attempts TO kidnaT
him by English emissaries. lie went into

gagged as drummer for several commercial
firms, finally settling down In this city in
