A Snake That Believed That One Good

A Snake That Believed That One Good
Turn Deserves Another.
A professor of entomology in the
state university was searching the
Berkeley hills for rare insects when he
heard the blood-curdling rattle of a
snake and found a big diamond backed
pinioned beneath a large stone. He
got stick to kill the snake, saws a
veracious Californian, and then decided
to release it first to see what it would
do. He approached cautiously, and
the snake watched him closely, but
manifested no hostility. He rolled the
stone off it, and instead of coiling and
striF ing at him, as he expected, it
stretched itself, twisted its tail a few
times and crawled slowly toward him.
He put out the stick he carried, but the
snake rubbed against it and twisted
around it tcnderly. The professor de-
clded not to kill it, and started on up
the trail. He was surprised to see the
snake following along, and when he
stuck one of his heavy cowhide boots
out 1T rubbed gently against it. After
considerable trouble he gave the snake
the slip and returned with his bugs.
The next year the professor was
up on the hills after some more speci-
mems when he heard great rafting,
and just ahead of him in the trail he
saw big RATHER. It was not coiled
and evidently was not angry. He
looked at it closely and noticed a scar
on its back. Then he counted it's rat
ties and decided that it was the snake
he had rescued the year before. It
seemed overjoyed to see him and
wagged its tail like a dog, making a
terrific rafting. The snake followed
the professor about SO closely that he
could not get rid of it, and it became a
pet in his bachelor apartments. It
used to coil itself at the foot of his bed
and sleep there.
The professors friends warned him
that the snake would kill him or some
one else, but he had every confidence
in it! One night he heard a terrible
racket downstairs in the dining-room.
He struck light and his pet was miss
ing. Then he ran downstairs and
found the snake in the dining-room
coiled around a burglar. 1t was hold
iEg him with viselile grip, while it
had its tail out the window rafting for
a policeman.

PAPER.
TIL. Durrlnt Trial.

Tn DurrDnt Trial.
SAN Francisco, October IAN un-
expected sensation developed when
the trial of Theodore Durrant was re-
sumed this morning. Before the
proceedings were begun Judge Muir
ply said he had been informed that
OF last Friday one of the jurors had
beer approached on the subject of the
trial during u recess of the court.
After commenting on the gravity of
the offense, which he said bordered
on a serious crime, the court asked
Juror Truman to take the stand.
MIR. Truman said while riding in a
street car last Thursday he was ap-
preached by H. j. Mccoy, general
secretary of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. In speaking of the
trial Mccoy said to Truman: "Ifyou
don't hang Durrant we will hang
you"
The statement of the juror created
sensation i'll court, not only ON ac-
count of the Objectionable remark
itself, but on account of the promi-
hence of the offender. Mr.. Truman
said McCoy's remark had no effect on
his mind whatever, and he was conf
dent there was no intent to influence
him.
The court was not inclined to over
look the indiscretion of Secretary
Mccoy. He SAID the prominence of
the offender made the offense more
remarkable, and ordered Mccoy to
appear Ill court at - o'clock We'd
nesday to show cause why he should
not be punishad for contempt. Dis
Attorney Barnes was ordered to make
out the papers i'll the case at once.
r. w. Maitland, the gas-ftter,
whose examination was begun last
Thursday, was called to the stand to
continue his description of the sun
burners i'll Emanuel Church. His
testimony was technical in nature and
intended to show the likelihood of
escaping gas under certain condi-
lions.
Marvin Curtis, William p. Cathcart,
P.J. New man and Leonard Everett,
members of the National Guard and
Signal Corps, to which Durrant be
longcd, wera next called. They testi
fled that at the request of the defense
they had attempted to pawn Il num-
Der of articles of jewelry at Open.
helm IS shop. and described the man.
ner III which they were dressed at the
time. When Oppenheim was on the
stand for the prosecution he was
shown articles and described the per-
sons who attempted to pawn them.
The description given by Oppenheim
in many instances did not correspond
with the witnesses. Each of the four
witnesses said he had subscribed
money to assist in the defense of Dur
rant.
p. ID. Connell,a saloon keeper. re-
lated conversation with w. j.
PHILLIPS relative to Durrant's alleged
visit to Pawn broker Oppenheim.
An attempt was next made to show
the bad reputation of David Clark,
who assisted Attorney Quinlan to fix
the date upon which he saw Durrant
and Blanche Lamont going to Eman
uel Church. j. Patton and p. Null
vaney said Clarh's reputation for truth
and integrity was bad.

ADJUSTMENTS.
AFTER the BALI"

Ihere will be fun in abundance at the
opera house next Monday evening, when
.hat inimitable comedian, Dan DAILY, and
MS admirable company of players, sing
ers and dancers will be seen in the latest
comedy hit, after the Ball. Since
MS last visit to this city in up Side
Do"n,' five or six years ago, Mr.. DAILY
mas oeen winning new laureis. He vas
Ior long time the principal feature of the
famous Russells comedians when they
were IN their prime. All last summer.
ne was the star attraction Of "Davy
Jones" during its long run at the Boston
Museum, but withdrew from that organ
ization when it went on the road in order
TO prepare for his own coming production.
Mr.. Days withdrawal is said to have
been the downfall of that opera for, try
as they might, the managers could not
find anyone capable Of filling his place.
Mr. Days company is said to be very
strong one and includes such well known
poppy oo EVANS, uIle opera sing
er, who for five years was the prima donna
of the Tivoly in San Francisco: Miss
Helen Harrington, Miss Stella Bonner.
Miss Celia Clay, Mr. Charles. Dralse,
George Herbert, William Gill, James
Moran, Andrew Byrne. and other lesser
lights. Mr.. Daily is under the manage
ment Of VIM. l.. Milley, who also has
control of that other we'll known comedy
star, Billy Barry. After the Ball. is
a funny play and, unlike most of the so
called farce comedies, is possessed of a
good, interesting story.
The songs and dances used by Mr. DAILY
and his company are all new, having
been composed and arranged especially for
this production. Mr.. DAILY has lately
added the California quartet to his
forces, and by that we are to have
double entertainment. For they have been
highly spoken OF throughout the West
and New York.

This afternoon the company will give a
matinee at 1. 30, presenting Dora, and
in the evening the sensational play "Th(
