MARK TWAIN'S SNAKE.

Mark Twain has just concluded lee
ture tour in New Zealand. He said
good-by to the New Zealanders at
Christ church, and in the course of his
speech made references to prohibition
which he said ne approved. but which
would put them into most difficult
straits. he then told the following
story:
In our country several years ago
there was man came into a prohibit
ed town. and. unlike you average saw
ages here. they said to him. You can't
get drink anywhere except at the
apothecary's.' So he went to the
apothecary, who said
You can't get drink here without
a prescription from a physician but
the man said. I'm perishing. | haven't
time to get a prescription. The apothe-
cary replied:
Well, | haven't the power to give
YOU a drink, except for snake bite.
The man said: Where's the snake?'
So the apothecary gave him the snakes
address, and he went off. Soon after
however, he came back and said:
For goodness sake. give me a
drink. That snake is engaged for six
months ahead. Westminster Gazette.

The Dear Boy.

A newspaper man sat in the study of
the pastor of a swell Fifth avenue
church one Sunday night awaiting the
appearance of the clergyman. The par
sons 10-year old son strolled in. He
was very smart young gentleman in
deed. His collar and cravat were tri-
fie horsy. His left hand was worn in
his trousers pocket in approved fashion.
There was a suggestion of blase interest
ON his face as he scanned the visitor.
"Repotah, / believer" he said at
length.
Eyes, ;" said the newspaper man meek
ly.
"Fawthaw rarely sees repotahs on a
Sunday. Youah business with him is
aw-urgent, presume. "
VERY" answered the newspaper
man.
Then there was another silence, the
gaze of the youngster making the visit
or feel somehow that reporters are a
very inferior lot indeed.
"You were at the horse show?" ven
tured the visitor.
Yes" admitted the lad, with sus-
picion of yawn. "Fouah or five times.
Got awfully tired of it, though "
And" said the newspaper man affa-
bly,, "I suppose you were interested In
the ponies?"
"I am not at al interested in ponies, !"
he replied, and lis tone was distinct
