New York has a tenor singer who is
so handsome that he has to have
woman chaperon to protect him from
emotional young women. This may be
the case in New York; anything In the
shape of male biped, outside of dudes
and other forms of insanity, is very
scarce, but If the pretty tenor will go
to Chicago he will not be there week
before he will have discharged his
chaperon and started advertising in
matrimonial papers.

How Snake Swallows Its Equal In
Size.

How Snake Swallows Its Equal In
Size.
The following is an interesting para
graph in a letter sent to friends here
by Harry Hammond, formerly of this
city, who is now making his home in
Florida
To-day had the good luck to see a
curious sight, that of one snake killing
and swallowing another. We came on
the scene just as king snake was
killing blacksnake, each little over
three feet long. The king was tied and
coiled round the black, and the latter's
tail could just wlggle. After a few
minutes, during which the king tied
himself in the most curious knots and
ran his head up and down his victims
writing body, biting it here and there
as if examining his supper, he turned
the blacks head, gave it preliminary
bite, and then slowly proceeded to take
the blacksnake into camp 1t seemed
impossible that he could swallow a
snake as long and as large as himself,
but he did This is how he did it:
HE would stretch his head as far
as possible, get his teeth hooked in his
victims scales, then slip his body up
till it was in wrinkles at his neck and
for some way down, then loose his
tooth hold and slide his head forward
for another grip, just aus if you were
putting on a tight glove, in fact. 1t
was the most interesting operation /
think l ever witnessed, and the king
swallowed all but three inches of the
tail of the poor blacksnake, and then,
with that dangling from his mouth,
glided off into the grass. We let him
go, as he is known enemy of the rat
tlesnakes, and often kills them

STARTED ON A RUN

the play, but no friend appeared Prob
ably she did not run for her train, but,
like the sensible girl she is, turned
about and went to her own suburban
church, never giving me more than a
passing thought. So l finally went
alone to hear the wonderful speaker
we had planned to hear together,
thinking could forget my troubles
under his eloquence. On my arrival
at the place, however, what was my
dismay to find little white card
tackled up announcing that the serv-
Ices would not take place on this par
ticular Sunday on account of the sud-
den illness of the pastor.
concluded not to run for any more
trains, but walked over to Clark street
in a dignifed manner, as beftted the
day, and took my seat on the electric
car just starting south. AS l sat there,
placidly enjoying the swift motion of
the car and the cooling breeze on my
aching head, it struck me that we were
making a good many more turns than
usual, and, looking about on either
side, l could not discover one familiar
object Finally, glancing up the street
and seeing huge drove of steers com
ing our way, completely filling the
street from curb to curb, and even
overlooking onto the walk, it dawned
upon me that had boarded the car
without looking at the sign, and was
out in the wild and woolly West"
represented by the Union stock yards.

EVERYTHING WENT WRONG.

Perhaps it was because forgot my
morning prayer" Or, perhaps, got
out of bed on the wrong side" But
up to date l have attributed it to the
fact that l had worked beyond my
strength the day before, was all worn
out and unnerved, and having taken
a hot bath and gone to bed under sum-
mer covers with the windows all UP to
the middle, 1 took cold in the frosty
air. My head was aching and sore
and hot and humping. Every hair
was turned the wrong way and dozen
of them pulled in different directions.
My shoes seemed to have shrunken or
my feet swelled. l put everything On
wrong side before or inside out. Ev-
erything was awry.
/ had oversight in the first place,
having a most eccentric clock, one of
the kind of tantalizing conundrums
that remind one of the clock whose
owner said: when both hands are
at II and it strikes l know it is half
past T." The complicated calculations
from this basis at all other times of
the day are distracting, to say the
least, and make one long for !oga-
rithms or ANY other old thing" to
solve instead
And so, it took me about three times
as long as usual to prepare for break
fast. By that time my coffee was
cold, and my st. Bernard pup, with
the beautiful, large, liquid, brown
eyes, had surreptitiously appropri-
ated my steak at one gulp, and was
seated near my chair at the table, look
ing sweetly and waving his paw dep
recatingly at me, evidently intent on
making peace at once in order to OBJ
tain my coffee spice-ball to top off
with.
| had planned to take train to the
city scheduled for $50, and having ten
minutes to reach the depot, as l sup
posed, 1 started out leisurely. When
half block away l discovered l had
another sign of bad luck to go back
for it, but there was no other way
out of it. Still, there seemed to be
plenty of time But, as l sauntered
around the corner, l saw the train two
blocks away just pulling up to the
station. AS this was the only train
that would get me into the city be-
fore noon, and l had an engagement
to meet a friend at II to attend
church together 1 started on a run.
caught the brace on the rear car just
as it began to smove forward, went
triumphantly into the car, and sank
exhaustedly into the first seat just as
the train stopped once more. And as l
sat there for the next ten minutes try
ing to catch my breath, my heart
humping like a trip-hammer, and lis
tening to the milk cans as they were
banged out on the platform, and the
empty cans banged into the baggage
car, l vowed for the hundredth time,
that would never, under any circum-
stances, run for a train again. 1t is
a failing of all suburbanites to make
this promise to themselves on every
opportunity, and break it again. next
time.
