WARNED OF A SERPENTs BITE.
Supernatural Visitor That Saved a
Woman From a Fatal Sting.

The following remarkable occurrence,
an absolute fact, is related by lady
visiting friends in Hartford, as it was
told her by her cousin in Meerat, North
western India. 1t took place in the
house of the sister of the narrator OF
its absolute accuracy there can be no
question. The two sisters in India are
connected with families of repute and
with officers in the British army in
India. We give the story as the lady
here related it. She is a devout member
of the Episcopal church, and is ncapa-
BILE of misrepresenting in the slightest
particular.
Her cousin. in whose house the occur
renee took place. was seated at light
ed table engagedi in reading, when, think
ing it about time to retire, and happen
ing to lift her eyes from the book, she
was astonished to see seated in a chair
before her, and between herself and
the bathroom, man, stranger to her,
who calmly regarded her. 1t was too
great surprise for her to speak and
demand who was thus intruding upon
her privacy, and what was wanted. She
remained for moment in silent aston
ishment
Then 1t gradually dawned upon her
that the figure was probably not that
of person of real flesh and blood but
visitor from the unseen world of life.
She remembered having once, as a
child, seen similar figure, under cir
cumstances which seemed. to preclude
the idea that it was any person still in
the body and in later years, in revolv-
ing those circumstances. she had re-
membered how the apparition had after
little while faded away into invisi-
bility Concluding that this new Wis
ltor also was not person Of flesh and
blood, she sat silently gazing at the
silent object, while the intruder, who
ever or whatever ne was, sat also in
silence. steadily regarding her. Just
how long this state of things lasted the
LADY did not accurately know, but i.
was probably not very locg, when the
mysterious stranger began to vanish in
to thinner and thinner personal pres
ence. until in a moment or two he had
vanished quite away.
1t was the lady's hour for her evening
bath, but she thought she would first
let out her two pet dogs from their con-
finement in another room. They came
barking furiously and running directly
in the directions of the bathroom. There.
through the open door. the lady was
Mortified to see on the floor a monster
cobra-the snake whose bite is certain
and speedy death Springing forward
to save her dogs, she quickly shut the
door. but not so instantaneously as to
prevent her seeing the reptile turning
and escaping down hole in the floor
where the drainpipes of bath tub and
wash bowl went, hole which had been
carelessly left larger than necessary
IL she had gone directly to the bath
room, as she would have done but for
the intervention of her mysterious vis-
liant, her life would undoubtedly have
been sacrificed in the act.-Hartford

ODD NAMES OF AMERICAN TOWNS
Fantastic Notions of Village Founders
Exemplified in Nomenclature

The nomenclature of the villages and
towns of the United States presents an
amusing field for study. Howard Fur
mas touched upon it in his recent ac-
count of the little hamlet of Trilby, Fla.
with it's adjoining Lake du Maurier, us
Svengali square, Zou Zou avenue and
Little Billie street. Wallace Peck in
his fantastic conceit, The Story of a
Train of Cars, develops the subject
more fully. The hero makes a tour
through the United States, his itinerary
including stops at all the oddly and vul-
carly named places. After laborious
hunt through the latest postoffice guide
Mr. Peck makes out the following list:
A. B. c., Tenn; Accident, Md; Adieu,
Tex; American Flag. Tex; Bachelors
Hall, Va; Bird in Hand, Pa; Bundle
Bee, Ariz.; Calf Killer, Tenn; Chat'

full Mo-; Useless, Wash; Vimbville,
Miss. Wakeup, O.; Walkchalk. Pa;
Waterproof, La; Why Not, N. c.; Yell
vile, Ariz.
Mr.. Peck thus muses. in a Hamlet-like
solilouuy: What train of mournful
ideas follows the scanning of these
names. You wonder how you would like
to be addressed as the mayor of Calf
Killer; or, if a woman, you start at the
possibility of being known as the belle
of Last Chance, or the beauty of Total
Wreck. You conclude that geography
is cruel to place Last Chance in Iowa
and Lean Year in far away Tennessee.
These two should have been, as they
are in the list, side by side, with the
town of Why Not in sight. How would
you like to inform your friends that you
we're a Bogus (Cal.) lawyer, about to
take a trip from Useful (Mo) to Use
less (Wash.)? Or. If prohibitionist, that
you were soon to move from Tin Cup
(Col) to jug Town On. CO? One gem
of delicacy, however, is set in the vulgar
list. and the reader will find it in the
rame which follows Leap Year, Tenn.

his new settlement Limbs. ."-Chicago

NOT AS POPULAR AS FORMERLY
Billiard Playing No Longer the Vogue
in Good Society

Billiards, delightful billiards. at once
the most fascinating and most healthful
of indoor games, is on the decline. No
weak-lunged cOnsumptive ever needed
the invigorating effects of Prof. Kochs
lymph more than this sport requires
new life injected into it.
Those who remember the history of
billiards in this country during the last
thirty years view it's rapid decline with
sincere regret. They think of the old
days when enormous siX-pocket plateaus
We're used and the transition from them
to the beautiful and elegant carom
tables now in use. with cushions and bed
that have been improved to perfection,
and wonder how the sport can decline.
They remember the days when Dudley
Kavanagh and Michael Phelan in their
contest for championship used four balls.
and later, when Joseph GARNER and
Maurice Daily became so expert with
the four ivories, how in order to have a
game, 1t was necessary to remove a
ball. and how these men scored runs
with three balls that equaled Kavan-
aghs and Phelan's best four ball scores
Following close to GARNER and DAILY
came Sexton, Slosson, Schaefer and
finally the present champion, Ives. With
these experts three balls, without limit :
ations, meant simply an endless chain.
Once set in motion by the wizards cue.
the balls clicked and clicked and count
ed with the tireless regularity of a
clock
To check these artists and to add
greater interest to the game, the eight
inch balk line was introduced 1t was
thought that this would prevent the

BEARS ON THE RAILROAD TRACK
Trouble They Bring to Engineers on
New York State Line

The engineer of a coal train on the
Fall Brook railroad, while passing
through Pine Creek canyon near Tiad-
aghton station, a few days ago, saw a
dark object on the track few hundred
yards or so ahead of his locomotive and
he brought his train to a stop. The
hagman ran ahead to remove from the
track what all supposed was drunken
lumberman--a not uncommon obstruc-
ton to transportation in that locality
but he came back to the train great
deal faster than he had gone away from
it. The supposed drunken man was a
big bear, sitting composedly between the
rails. When the tiagman reported, the
engineer sounded sharp blast on his
steam whistle. lhe sudden shrek star
tied the bear SO that he jumped four
feet in the air, the trainmen say, and
when he landed again he made off down
the track as-fast as he could CO. the train
pursuing him. The chase lasted for
half a mile, when the bear jumped down
a high embankment into Pine creek and
disappeared on the other side.
Pine Creek canyon is so narrow and
the rocks on each side are so straight
and high that in some places the sun
cannot shine into the ravine until noon,
and in two hours it is gone. The day
in Pine Creek canyon is practically two
hours long. At Tiadaghton in midsum-
mer they have four hours of sunshine.
The canyon is fifteen miles long. The
railroad track is constantly under pa
troll that distance A veteran among the
track walkers is Pat Callahan. Fall
ing rocks, drunken lumbermen and
bears, he says, keep him and the rest
busy
And 1 have more trouble with the
bears than the other things" Pat says.
i've come face to face with bears walk
ing along the track many and many a
time. They seem to be stuck on wan
dering into the canyon from the three
adjoining bear hunting counties and in
specting the railroad track. None of
'em ever seemed. to want to tackle me,
but they always give me a good deal of
trouble in getting them to leave the rail.
I've had to flag trains more than once
and call the train men to help me rid
the track of obstructing bears New

LONDON MARKET

NEW YORK. Jan. S.--The Evening Post S
financial cablegram says: Miserable
weather and the lack of public support de-
pressed the stock markets here today. The
only feature was a rise of eight points in
Bank of England stock. on expectations
of increased profits for the year as re-
suit Of the recent loans, by the bank, and
also of the profit on the sales OF American
eagles for last autumn Americans were
steady. Uruguay securities were fiat and
mines dull. Spanish exchange on London
shows a marked improve ment. An i'm
portant large deal in Turkish stocks is ru-
mored between Paris and London bank.
If true, the price Mt which the French in
stitution has bought reflects favorably on
Turkish prospects. In Paris the market
was firm and in Berlin steady.

accomplish the object. The balk line was
increased from time to time, until now
a fourteen-inch line is used. And when
Mr.. Ives is after the balls it seems as
if the balk line does not exist.
