Amusement For Two.

A good story is told of William
Swisher, one of the veterans of the
Grand Army He was in a Colorado
town not long ago without money, but
with great thirst. He was sizing up a
saloon outfit from corner seat when a
westerner invited him TO talas drink.
NO." replied Bill deliberately, II
will not drink today"
"Won't you, Mr.. Boiled Shirt?' re-
piled the cowboy. 1--WE shall see. 7"
Then he turned TO the bartender. "Put
ten whisky glasses along the bar in a
row. Now fiji 'em up"
When they were filed, he drew pis-
tol and cooked it,
Drink down the line, he command
ed,
Bill slowly drained each glass, When
the last was down, he placed il on the
counter, set the ten glasses In line and
turned TO the cowboy,
NOW, mister, " said he, III you have
'em filled again, III drink my way
back "-Pittsburg Post.

A CUNNING REPTILE.

The Various Clever Devices He Used to De-
ceive His Discoverer.
A correspondent of The Popular Sci
ence News tells the following strange
story:
While searching for snails turned
over an old log and disturbed snake,
called by our negroes spreading ar
row." The tactics pursued by this
snake were curious.
First he erected his head and neck
and fiattened them out till they seemed
no thicker than cardboard, thus increas-
ing his apparent size, as he took care
not to be seen edgewise. The shape Of
his head changed. 1t took pronounced
triangular form-similar to the heads
of our most venomous snakes Then his
tail, with the aid Of a dry leaf, was
proclaiming that it was the tail OF a
rattlesnake.
All this, coupled with an ominous
hiss, was calculated to strike terror to
the heart of his disturber, as for a mo-
ment it did. i regained my courage,
however, and began to poke the serpent
gently with a stick, when, finding
"bluster" of no avail, he sought safety
i'll fight.
Repeated headings off" showed him
how futile were his efforts in that line,
and he altered his tactics again. He
turned on his back and remained mo-
tionless. threw him six feet from the
ground, and so quickly did he turn over
that he seemed 10 strike ON his back.
Once on his back, nothing could in
duce him to move Tapping prodding,
! twisting his tail-all were in vain.
Then suspended him from the limb OF
q tree, retreated little and watched.
At the end of two minutes the reptile
moved. Slowly he turned ON his spinal
column as ON an axis, surveyed the
premises, and seeing nothing dangerous
dropped TO the ground and was making
off.
At my approach he died again. After
sundry proddings, which failed TO move
him, rewarded him for his oieyerness
by giving him the liberty that no GER
tainly had earned.

FORCED TO TAKE a TITLE
Its Acquisition Forbidden by

CONTRARY TO THE CONSTITUTION.
How 1t Has Been Fastened

The Constitution of the
United States forbids the
acquisition of titles.
In the far west not much
respect is paid to titles.

1t is so little thought of
that many men prefer to be
called plain John Smith, Til
Ford, 10 Simon.
But titles are sometimes.con-
feTed by accident, and become
a really good handle to catch
hold of. In that case the peo-
pie catch on and use the handle
right freely aid properly.
A CURIOUS CASE.

Mtsrd!sed His Mistress,

PHILADELPHIA, May 2S.-After living to-
gether as man and wife for some time the
intimacy existing between George Elliott,
of Woodbury., n. j., and Mrs. Eva Smith,
living in the rear of No, 785 Carver street,
ended yesterday in a fatal quarrel. The
woman was shot and killed by her lover,
who made good his escape, although the
crime was committed at the house of his
mistress, almost within arms reach of the
Nineteenth district police station. The
tragedy is supposed to be due to jealousy.
Both Elliott and his victim were colored,
and the woman had been living apart from
her lawful husband

PORT NORRIS, n. j., May 2S.-The first
serious atfray in connection with the
oyster war took place yesterday. A shore
battery for the protection of the oyster
grounds opened fire on the sloop Arm
strong. Firing continued for some min
utes, and the men on board the sloop de-
cided to go ashore and see who was trying
to hit the vessel. As soon as the men
landed on shore they were fired on with
serious results. Joseph Hilton, of Pleas
antville, was struck in the thigh with
some shot and his leg was broken. His
wound is very serious. Oliver Sneed was
struck on the arm, but escaped without
further injury. The men we're unable to
learn who did the firing.

Strikers Getting Their Old Places,

P!TTsCyRG, May 2S.-There is general
resumption of work in the mines of this
district, the strike having been declared
lost by the United Mine Workers officials.
The strikers are trying to get their former
places back again. and most of them have
succeeded. A majority of the river mines
have closed down owing to low water,
and there are plenty of miners for all the
work This may lead the operators to take
advantage of their victory to dictate terms
to the men. 1t is thought they will not
offer less than sixty cents per ton, but they
may insist on iron clad contracts and hold
back 10 per cent. to insure fulfllment
of them.
