A Tale OF a Hired Man and q Very nTyHa
eerioua Reptile.
81 come In on my way TO the train to
tell you of q queer snake story up our
way, said the farmer
Isn't it a little early for snake stories2''
suggested the snake editor.
Yes, for this years crop, but this one
is a last years one that I just found out
about yesterday. You see, last year i bad
a hired hand on the farm that I never seen
till the day he asked for work. I needed
hand purity bad and took him right in
without q word except to tell him that If
he got drunk I'd turn him OF. He said be
WASH t a drinkin man and he went right
TO work in the bayfield,. He wasn't the
best worker ever hired, but he was steady
and we got along all right til the fourth
day he was with me. That day was in
the barn and I heard a yell, and run to
the door and seen my hired man dyin
around the field as if the old serpent him
self was after him. When he seen me, he
headed my way and as he went past me 7
could see q short stumpy, notified snake
hangin to his leg at the ankle. He few
around the barn, yellin at every jump
and I took after him and caught him ia a
clump Of woods about goo yards from the
barn, where he had dropped, plumb tuck
cred out When I got TO him, the snake
was gone, but the marks Of teeth were on
his leg, and hustled to the house and got
q quart bottle Of liquor keep for snake
bites and other household purposes and
soon had him loaded down to the guards.
Ha was sober by next mOrnin and all
right, and the day after he went TO work
again. He staid with me a month after
that and left when had no work for him,
and I tell you that in the four or FIVE
weeks I had him that snake caught him
that same way six times, and to save our
neoks we could never find the snake.
Sometimes it would nab him by the hand
when be was workin In the weeds, and
sometimes it would catch him in one place
and sometimes in another but it would
always hang on, and he would run and yell
and me after him.
'Now for the queer part, =" said the Wis
itor, taking a final squirt. "The other day
I was grubbin out that clump of bushes
and, by hOkey, I seen a snake. and before
1t could move L stuck my grubbin hoe
through it and dragged it out, and, durn
my buttons. come to look at st, 10 wasn't
nothin but a rag snake painted. I carried
it up to the house, and as soon as my boy
seen it he whooped and said it was the
same snake that had been feedin on my
hired man all last harvest, and I reckon
the boy was right. Washington Star.

ich's hail next Saturday night
Eugene V. Debs, the president OF the
union, is expected to lead the grand
march Whether he will or not, how
ever, remains to be seen.
Mr.. Debs has recently. disappointed
members of the A. r. u. by failures to
meet engagements to speak at meetings
of local unions.
On Friday night last local union No.
held a big gathering at the hall, No
104 East Randolph street. The presl-
dent of the order was billed to speak
but did not appear
A prominent member Of No / said
yesterday:
..Debs is undoubtedly getting him
self swelled up with q sense of impor-
lance He thinks he is the whole thing
He does't care to talk to a man in
overalls any more. He hunts UP the
boiled shirt and standing collar lead
ers' and passes the rank and file into
the soup. They amt good enough for
him any more. This makes the boys
pretty tired, and I tell you they are
sore about it. It would suit more OF
them than it would disp1ease if he did
not lead our grand march on Saturday
night.

INGEBsOLL SEES CLARION.
The Noted Infdel Stands Beside
Satan and Watches.

New York, April 2e.-An enterprising
Brooklyn artist named Perhacs Of the
most pronounced realistic school has
pictured Colonel Ingersou gazing at
the thr0ngs of agonized victims as they
pass The bark of the grim ferryman
Charon into the pits of hell
Curiously enough, the great agnostic
has given his sanction to the painting
of the picture.
The picture shows a rocky cliff. over
looking the mouth of a fierce chasm,
from which flames of indescribable
herceness vomit forth. Ingersou and
his guide, Mephisto. Prince of Dark
ness, stand gazing at the guilty ones as
they are hurried to the place of torment
Every face is distorted with horror.
Far up the cliffs myriads can be seen
hurried along to eternal damnation.
Colonel Ingersol gazes on, draped IN
the toga of ancient Rome. Satan points
out to him some wretch whose suffer
ings seem more intense than those Of
his fellows The artist has kindly pro-
vided the bodies with draperies.

sThe disappointment Of the young
lawyer, said County Attorney Sanford,

Tommy's Competition On the Tramp.

Tramps are men who travel from place
60 place looking for work. If q tramp
hears of work in place. he goes far out
around it. This makes i5 very hard foe
the poor tramp ever to find anything to do.
Tramps eat at back doors and wouldn't
know how TO act at the table. The more
tramps eat the hungrier they get. A tramp
can eat all day and 60 to bed hungry.
Tramps don't care much about the FASH
ions for gentlemen. Once saw a tramp
wearing a stovepipe on his legs Tt was
for dogs. Tramps look slow, but they can
run faster than a dog. A tramp that can't
run away from dog doesn't stay a tramp
very long. If I was a tramp, would get
me suit Of armor like the old knights
used to wear, and then I would look

that he would vote for Reed, so it is
q little curious how he expects to

state like Kansas.
The reported conversation ran some
thing like this. "a man met the rep
resentative from the whole state Of
Kansas" and noticing that he was
wearing a Reed button said something
to him about the different presidential
candidates
