THIS GOAT SMOKES.
lie Prefers n Clear Havana, but Comes
Down to Cigarettes if He Has To-.

lJoWN TO cigarettes IL lie HAS 10.
\ billygoat that smokes cigars and
cigarettes, just like a man, is in the
possession of Charles Rebcr, at 1870
Krauss street, Carondelet. The goat has
q IL year growth Of lcrlis and whiskers
OF about tie same age waving gracefully
and odorously from his chin. After a
hearty feast upon tin, tacks, rags, pa
per and anything else in sight Billie, as
he is called, takes his siesta. Unless a
cigar Or cigarette is provided the after
meal enjoyment is al broken up for
Billie, and he beats continually until
provided with a smoke.
No ardent lover OF the fragrant weed
pulls at a cigar with more relish than
this goat. A complacent smile curls his
upper lip when the lighted weed is
placed III his mouth, and the right fore
foot makes motions toward the whiskers
as though to stroke them. But Billie is
no ordinary smoker, nor is he unskilled
i'll the habit. He is not only a connois-
seur of the best clear Havana goods, but
is IN adept at fast putting and graceful
manipulation of the weed while in his
mouth. The smoke is never pulled ont
of his mouth. Billie inhales it and blows
it out through his nostrils in great
clouds. 1t is related that he attempted
to make a smoke ring once, but in
pickering up his lips swallowed the ci-
gar, blaze and all. He evidently relish
ed the bite as a dainty morsel, for since
that incident he never takes more than
one or two pufs at a cigar or cigarette,
swallows it down, her blows the smoke
out Of his nostrils with tho cas- and
grace that would put to shame a two
legged cigarette fend.
It is only of late that Billie has taken
to the cigarette habit. 1t was apparent
~ with much regret that a brother goat
in an adjoining yard watched him tackle
the papers. He prefers cigars, as a rule,
however, but when nothing better is to
be had a cigarette is welcome.
Charles Reber, the owner of the goat,
notices his growing fondness for Gig
arettes with much alarm. with o
cigar in his mouth" remarked Mr.. Re-
Der, "he looks like the full grown, IL.
year-old, 100 pound goat he is, but
when he wants to dude up with a cute
little cigarette it spoils his handsome
cast Of countenance." MI. Reber is very
solicitous for the welfare Of his animal
and has great expectations that the Gig
arctic crusade now on in the city will
be carried into the animal kingdom and
save his goat from the grave of a con-
firmed cigarette fiend. st. Louis Globe

FASCINATION BY SNAKES.
The Tongue Play of the Reptiles . Lure
For Their Prey.

The Tongue Play of the Reptiles . Lure
For Their Prey.
The pheasants which formed the SUBJ
jects of the following observations were
hatched out in an incubator from eggs
kindly given me by Sir Cecil Miles.
The eggs were taken from the hen and
transferred to the incubator a few DAYS
before the young birds were due to
emerge.
Two pheasants were Matched out at
about 8 p. m. That evening, at about
$50, a finely chopped egg was placed be
fore them, but they showed no signs Of
pecking at it, nor did they peck ut
grain or sand next morning at IL a. IN.
At 4 p. m. they began to peck, but seiz-
ed very little. One struck repeatedly at
a crumb Of egg or the others back, but
failed to seize it, though the other bird
was quite still.
The little birds showed no signs Of
fear Of me. They liked to nestle in nv
warm hand. My fox terrier was keen to
get at them, much keener than with
chicks, probably through scent sugges-
ton. l placed two of the young pleas
ants. about a day old, on the floor and
let him smell them, under strict orders
not to touch them. He was trembling
IN every limb from excitement. But
they showed no signs of fear, though
his nose was within an inch of them.
When the pheasants were a week old, /
procured a large blindworm and placed
1t i'll front of the incubator drawer in
which the birds slept at night. On OPEN
ing the drawer they jumped out as usu-
al and ran V the blindworm without
taking any notice of it. Presently first
one, then another. pecked vigorously at
the forked tongue as it played in and
out OF the blindworm's mouth. Subse-
quently they pecked at its eye and the
end Ct its tail.

This observation naturally leads one
to surm1se that the constant tongue play
in snakes may act as a lure for young
and inexperienced birds, and that some
cases Of SO called fascination may be
simply the f1uttering of birds round this
tempting object. distinctly remember,
when @ boy, seeing q grass snake, with
head slightly elevated and quite motion
less, and round it three or four young
birds futtering nearer and nearer. 1t

catch that tempting but elusive worm!

An Attenrated Horse That Excited an
Onicer's Unnecessary Sympathy.
A South Chicago policeman came
across an attenuated sorrel horse tied to
a hitching post the other day. He wait
ed a few minutes until the owner ar
rived and then said:
"Why don't you feed your horse
something? I'd wager that he hasn't
seen an cat since he was q colt. Do Won
feed him on the photograph Of a bale of
hay":
mn. Officer, you don't know that
horse, OF you wouldn't talk that way"
Il don't know the horse, but I know
that you ought to be run in for working
a starved beast like that. It's q case for
the s. p. G. A. Do you weigh out his
food to him on an apothecary's scales?"
"O6icer, before you say any more do
me a favor. Get in that buggy and
drive around q block, and when you
come back here tell me what to feed
him. I'll do whatever you say"
The policeman got into the buggy and
started of. He thought he was in q
merry 60 round driven by cyclone pow
er. He braced his feet against the dash
board and hung on to the reins until his
wrists cracked and there was a shower
OF heels all over the road. The buggy
slowed around corners on n wheel,
and when the horse finally landed up
against the hitching post with its front
legs over the shafts the officer was so
dazed that he couldn't speak for a min
ute.

do you think I'd better feed the horse?:''

liceman sternly, "I'd feed him Oh

Two Iokcrs Fl = Lofty Perch Finally Out
wit Patient Bluecoats.

Two young men, supposedly in q
Ipirit Of mischief, climbed up a big polo
Of the Bell Telephone company on Nau.
dian street, between Twenty first and
Twenty-second, before daylight and es-
tablished themselves in tho ''crow's
nest just below the first of the wire
bearing crossbars o IL a recent morning.
There they sat and sang songs until IL
passing milkman called up aud asked
what they Were doing.
ooh, ask of the man in the 1noon,'
warbled one, and the other said that
they We're hunting for the milky way.
The milkman left in disgust and noti-
fed a policeman of the Fifth district
that q pair Of nuisances were holding
forth Gin q cage on a pole" The police
man summoned q brother patrolman,
and the Two went to the place designat-
ed, where the jokers had changed their
programme and remained as silent as
the grave.
Come down. demanded the police
man, but he received no answer. IF
you don't, We'll come Up and bring you
down."
"Then wen push dem cops away"
responded the singer up the pole.
The threat was too much for the blue
coats, SO they replied that they would
wait below until the men got tired Of
being up in the air and came down of
their own accord. They were answered
with a laugh. but sat down on the curb
stone and chewed tobacco. A crowd col
lected, and the men up above entertain
ed it with making jokes at the expense
of the patient guardians Of the peace.
The crowd vas augmented by hundreds
of people on their way to work, who
stood and watched the strange spectacle
until their necks got kinks in them.
The entertainers meanwhile were not
idle and rewarded their sightseers with
d variety Of funny performances in their
elevated and confined quarters.
The wires and door Of the box that
contains the head cable came in for a
good share Of their attention, and they
ratified and banged to their hearts con-
tent. Finally they got tired and began
to descend. The policemen grinned ex-
pectantly and the crowd was breathless
with interest.
You're coming down, are you?"
shouted tho policemen derisively, but
the men made nc response. Suddenly
the lower one, when about ten feet above
the roof of the adjacent house, made q
spring and landed on the roof in safety.
The other one followed suit before the
people below could say a word. There
they poked their heads over the caves
and shouted:
yah, hah! Did we come down."
Then they disappeared and have not
been seen since. Where they went is a
mystery. -Philadelphia Times.

Privileges to u street Rail-

CHICAGO, March 29.-For a short
time this afternoon there was every
symptom of riot in the committee
room of the city council The coun-
Gil committee on railroads some time
ago announced itself in favor Of an
ordinance granting the Calumet S
Blue Island railway certain rights
of South Chicago. The residents of
South Chicago were exceedingly
wrathful at the committee, as it's
action would, they declared, de-
stroy the finest portion of the resi-
dence district in South Chicago.
The committee met this afternoon
to vote on the ordinance, and about
200 determined property owners
from South Chicago were on hand
to assist in the deliberations. j. &.
Taylor opened the arguments for the
property owners, and talked in so
vigorous a manner that Aid. Cough
lin attempted to eXpostulate, but
Mr.. Taylor kept on, and only gave
way to another orator who was filled
up with all sorts of charges, which
he hurled numerically at the alder
men who spoke favorably of the or
dinance. He alleged that they were
betraying the people, and a we'll
trained chorus took up this charge
and cried out: "Judases! Judases!'
Aid Coughlin tried to stop this kind
of talk, but he was baked by Mr..
Taylor, who said as yet he had not
made any personal charges against
the alderman, but would probably
do so at the proper time. Then the
other orator turned in and said:
why don't you fellows come up to
us when you want money; we have
lots of money" Not as much as the
railroads Judas" cried the chorus.
Aid Kuntz tried to make himself
heard, but was shut off with d charge
that he was wearing the railroads
collar, and this was succeeded by an
other chorus alleging that divers
and sundry aldermen, who are mem
bers of the committee, had taken
money to vote for the ordinance.
The committee finally decided to
report to the council in favor of the
railroad, and when the aldermen
declared themselves, they were
greeted with insulting names, and
charged vociferously with 'thieyery
and boodling" and other methods Of
separating people from their money.
Had not the meeting been speedily
dismissed, there were evidences that
more violent talk would have been
resorted to, as the people from South
Chicago were in an ugly mood. The
property owners declare that if any
tracks are ever laid they will be
torn up.

One of His Six Deserts to Penne-
will.
DOVER, Del, March 20. : For the
first time since the balloting for a.
United States senator began one of
Addicks' followers deserted him today
and cast his ballot for James Penne-
will, prominent lawyer of Dover.
Before the two houses met today, the
air was full of rumors of assertions,
but no one thought for moment that
after sticking to Addicks for ninety
five ballots any of his six faithful fol-
lowers would desert him. When the
first ballot was taken there was much
excitement in the house. For the past
few days it has been rumored that the
Higgins and Addicks men would unite
on Pennewill, but the story could not
be confirmed. Today's developments,
however, seems to bear out the rumor
The Addicks people profess to feel con-
-fident that there will be no more deser-
lions from their ranks, but it is prob
able that a climax will be reached in
few days. The legislators are becom-
ing tired of the deadlock, and do not
hesitate to say so. The two ballots to-
Eday resulted as follows:
y Higgins, 1; Addicks. 4: Massey, 4;
Pennewill, Rep. 1; Richardson, 1;Rich-
ards, Rep, 6; Ridgely, 8; Tunnel, /; J.
