4 snake story.

From the southern hOmo of Senator Quay comes the following letter from vsraeious correspondent
 Being an ex soldier and having only fifteen months to serve Co acquire a title to a quarter section of land, went to Florida in lSS5 to put my plans into execution. Not being posted as to the land marks, had tO hire settler to locate the land for me, and as VIC had Co go about eight miles through woods, over bad roads, with no bridges, we went horseback, and in crossing a stream noticed that my friends horses tail caught in an old pine stump. pulling hair from the tail and leaving the hair fast to the stump
 AS you know, a horse hair will turn to a snake when in water, and l made up my mind to watch that particular hair. So, after locating my land and getting a log house built, took my gun and started out on hunt, and during my rambles came to the stream that my friend aud had crossed, and, sure enough, there was the horsehair snake as big as my thumb and over four feet long. As he was fast to the stump l let him alone and continued my hunt, bug ging some quail, rabbit, and two squir- rels, which gave me good mess of fresh meat. As was very busy t1r me next three weeks, had no time to visit my pet snake, so you may judge my sur prise when on my next visit to find the snake as big as stovepipe and Or forty feet long. As l was going to .s- a log rolling the next week 1 kept my secret so that we could have some fun after we were through our days work l got everything ready and sent out ray invitations. My friend that showed .nl the land came with the rest of ih n and told me that his horse was s' stolen. We all pitched i'll aLd .s., good days work and had good dime. l told them my secret and we went to the branch. You can imagine our sur prise when we found the snake as big as saw log, with bulge in the middle as big as sugar barrel.
 Well, to make long story short, we killed the snake and cut him open and my friends lost horse tumbled out. We thought the horse was dead until he commenced to move, and soon ran around all right, and my friend rode him home. have heard d great deal only instance l know of where a horse was swallowed alive by hair from his own tail.-Baltimor American.

The Horrors of Ashcroft Trail.

The Canadian government has not acted with the usual British prompti- tude in going to the rescue of the mis- erable victims of transformation who are dying on the Ashcroft trail. The awful sufferings of strong men driven mad by the desperation of their con dition should make utterly ashamed those contemptible newspapers which ridiculed the generous instinct that prompted the sending last fall of re- lief to Americans in Dawson, who, it was feared, might be in danger of star vation. Better to have wasted ten thousand dollars in the offer of help which was not needed than the indiffer- ence and penuriousness which are re- sponsible for the awful scenes described by one who wrote the warning message: No grub, no hope hell can't be worse"
 It may be too late to offer any rescue to those who are dying like dogs or committing suicide in crazed despair but the attempt should be made, and if the Canadian government were in- spired by the same spirit which sent out the relief expedition to Americans on the Klondike last year, the attempt will be made.
 It is impossible to locate responsibil- ity for the misfortune. Nothing was known absolutely about the route, but the story got abroad that the lakes and rapids of the Yukon and the suffering on Skaguay trail could be avoided by the Ashcroft route. It was assumed that the land was fairly level, and that, being sheltered by the hills, provision would be found for cattle and horses. As matter of fact, the whole country is found to be series of messy bogs, interspersed with almost impenetrable forests. The Indians have no doubt made conditions worse for the pur- pose of being paid as guides, but they have an antipathy to intruders, and they have succeeded in giving that route such name as will keep white men from it for many day.
 Although it may be the duty of the Canadian government to take action, there are so many Americans in danger that the United States should promptly offer cooperation. Public action is needed; let us act as we would wish others to act were we in the awful con dition those unhappy prospectors now are.-P.-I.

A "Reminiscences.

A good many years ago, when the western part of Iowa was not so thick ly settled as it is now, the pioneers were very sociable people and at the "gatherin's" would frequently resort to some new eXpedient as mirth- -provok. CT. It was on one of these occasions in little village in Clark county that some of the fun-loving young folks proposed mock wed ug. A young lady was selected for tie bride and the important post as hri iegroom foIt to the only man who could must ,;our- age enough to undertake tn nrdeal. A newly elected justice of ne peace was pulled out of the crowd tn perform the ceremony and after yery brief service and amidst ,hc shouts of mirth. the couple were declared man and wife After the laugh was over other spor were introduced and the event. ed pleasantly to it's close, the wedding being nearly forgotten or only remem- bered as an incident of the evenings pleasure. But, when the older heads learned of it they declared that by all the laws of the state of Iowa the couple were truly man and wife.
 Now of course my narrative should either disclose the fact that this couple were lovers and chose this way ot eva ding the old man or that the emotion begun in jest became earnest and they lived together happily eve afterward, but they did no such thing They paid no attention to this play marriage, out went ahead and each mare, again, which we now consider a very s5uzlble and matter of fact way out UI WaaG some people would have considereo a difficulty.

Nothing Funny About It.

Gne time, ill a city, somewhere, an watching party going away. Those who were cGing were young woman and h.s hns band, to whom she had just been marr;ed. They were going thous- ands of miins away and were not eX- pected to "eturn for years. The bride was love." oung woman, the pride of her home nd greatly beloved by all who knew asr. Her mother was not at the station to see her off. Somehow she preferred to say goodbye to her daugh- ter in the privacy of her home. But the father was there. Fathers are made of stern stuff. They ars not supposed to have much feeling By and by the train came, the bridal party walk ed down the platform, accompanied by the father and followed by crowd of young people of the town, who threw rice over the party and shouted merri- ly at them, and the father of the bride helped her on the platform of the car and then he took her in his arms and kissed her goodbye; and the crowd be- low showered more rice over them and laughed gleefully. And the editor, standing back of the crowd, looked up and saw that father trying to smile as he turned from his daughter and not succeeding very we'll; and there came to that editor thought of the mother waiting in her home, and the girl going out into new life, in strange world, and somehow he didn't appreciate the humor of the situation. He felt about as funny as he did few weeks before when he stood beside an open grave and heard a widow cry out: "Oh, William. will I never see you again?" And he turned away with a lump in his thorat.

David Ward saa Gov. piaxrss.

\ year or SO ago Governor ringree and Railroad Commissioner Wesselius sat side by side in car, on their way Co Lansing \ number of the political friends of the Governor sat near by, and Mir. pingree took advantage of the opportunity to air his views concern ing corporations.
 "Now, take our millionaires," he went on. aWe have lots of them-men with plenty of money and credit, but nt heart very cheap. For example, there's Da- vid Ward. That man is worth s2O,0OO- OOo, but did anyone ever hear of him giving dollar of 1t for eharityY Not much The bulk of his property is out side the city, yet we have to force him to pay the comparatively small assess ment. He Is miserly old skinflint."
 Presently Wesselius had occasion to leave his seat to talk to man in an- other part of the car. A little old chap with bent form and wrinkled face, had sat near the Governor during the talk, an attentive listener. He now left his seat to move over and slide into the wee ey left by Wesselius.
 F That you are the governor, Mir he began, insinuatingly. ''I h, lad the pleasure of meet ing yo4 nave seen your pictures.
 "Yes, governor"
 "Well, to say, Mir. Pingree, that l have listened closely to what you have had to say about corpora tions and millionaires, and l heartily agree with you.'
 The Governor was tickled at this and at once launched out into a general conversation. They touched on the corporations again, and various oth CT matters, and the Governor was sur prised to find that his companion was a delightful talker, fully informed upon a wide variety of topics, witty, eve brilliant. The Governor actually W4e told something that he had not known before. During the conversation h, had occasion again to bring up t name of David Ward.
 Il know him we'll" said the old gen tleman. Il have been acquainted with him for many years, and have had sev- eral business dealings with him, and can say truthfully that l have found him all you can say, and even worse.' 7
 Finally the train pulled into Lansing and all arose to leave.
 The Governor held ut his hand to the old gentlemaa. dear sir" he said, "I have ec oyed this hour of talk with you. You '5 and sensible and have learned .:at deal from you. You are a ma ter my own heart. 1 hope that at ser.e future time we shall meet and renew the acquain- tance. Do you live in Detroit?"
 "Yes," was the reply.
 And may 1 ask your name?"
 The old man leaned over, his face as stunned serio-comic expression, and, as he looked the Governor squarely in the eye, he said, in a slow drawl, in the quietne- of tones, his eye beaming:
 ".iy name, sir, is David Ward."- Detroit Free Press.

Don't Eat Too Much. Be Quick to Rise. Fresh Air and Exercise.
NINE GOOD REASONS.

Mrs. Phebe Crabbe of Norwnlk, Conn, recently celebrated the one hundred and first anniversary of her birth. The old lady finished the first year of her second century with n sound mind and healthy body. Indeed, she said quite seriously today that she intends to learn to ride bicycle
 Mrs. Crabbe can read without using spectacles. She is fond of talking and talks well, having none of the garrulity of extreme old age. The World cores pendent suggested to her today that some good advice from her might help to prolong the lives of her countrywe- men.
 "There are nine reasons why 1 have lived to be 1ol years old" she said
 "I come from Il long lived fla mily, the Weeds. 1 am one of seven children, and all of us except one lived to be 90 years old.
 'l have never taken any strong drink, except, perhaps, a sip of hot toddy on n cold night. Strong drink shortens life l have abstained from it so that I would not set bad example to my boy, Cy, here"
 Her boy Cy is Captain Cyrus E. Crabbe, bronzed and weather beaten sailorman, 70 years old, whose h home is in New York City.
 T have never used tobacco or sn uff," the old lady continued.
 "I have always eaten sparingly. Peo- pie eat so much nowadays that they die shamefully young.
 II have always been fond of fresh air and exercise.
 Tt hasn't made me very wealthy or wise, but have always been early to rise. Why, when Cy's father was d young spark, counting me, my mother made him leave the house at 9 o'clock, so as l could go to bed This late court ing is killing to young people.
 Il have never had any serious dis ease. The way my mother trained me made me healthy, and I've done my best to keep healthy.
 i've never worried much about any thing. Worry makes you look at trou- ble through magnifying glass. Take things as they come.
 Eve read my Bible regularly, so I'm ready to go when the good Lord calls and," she added, smiling, "I'll be glad to tarry as long as He wants"
 Mrs. Crabbe has outlived most of her relatives, of whom only seven were present to celebrate with her today. But her neighbors flocked to her pie. turesque house on Merwin street. Rev. Mr. Samuel Scoville, pastor of Stam- ford Congregational church; Rev. J. G. Davenport, and Dr. l.. R. Hurlbutt, on behalf of her friends, presented a hand some loving cup to Mrs. Crabbe. A friend sent bottle of rare old wine to baptize the cup, and the happy old lady moistened her lips with the wine.
 Dr. Hurlbutt, her physician, was the spokesman, and warmly congratulated her on reaching an age so ripe.
 And just to think, doctor, how long you have attended me-" she jokingly retorted.

being given the force of an official
declaration that SPANS responsibility
for the disaster had been eliminated
In order to make clear his meaning, as
a personal expression of opinion, Mr..
Long dictated the following state
ment:
THE main things we talked about in
cabinet were the outrages on postmasters
one white man in Georgia and one a
colored man in South Carolina.
In regard to the Cuban situation, said
/ thought things were growing quieteI
every day and as far as my judgment went
I was inclined to think that any official par
ticipatfon on the part of the Spanish gov
eminent in the disaster was now practical
ly eliminated"
Washington, March 3.--The Wash
ington Post prints the following inter-
view with Secretary of War Alger:
1.-THE statement OF Secretary Long that
SPANS official participation in the dis
ester to the Maine had been practically
eliminated was merely an expression OF
personal opinion on his part. 1t is an injus-
tice to him, as well as to the administration
to give an official significance to his ex-
preston when he was particular at the
time to emphasize the fact that he was
speaking simply as an individual. In the
absence of official facts-and I can repeat
what has been said heretofore, that the
public IS equally as well informed as the
goVerrm ent--no member of the administra-
ton can, of course, make official declara.
ton touching Spain's responsibility, moral
or otherwise There is not an iota of in.

LONGS PRIVATE OPINION.
Publicly Expressed Caused a Com.

Washington, March 2.-The main in
terest of the day in connection with the
Maine inquiry centered in statement
by Secretary Long, following the cabi-
net meeting, that in his personal opin-
ion any official participation by the
Spanish government in the blowing up
of the Maine was now practically elimi-
mated from the situation. This state
ment was not of formal on official
character, and was made by Mr.. Long
as he walked away from the white
house. AS usual the various cabinet of
ficers were besieged with inquiries as
to the questions before the meeting,
and in response to these opportunities
the secretary rather casually summed
up the situationlin few words.
The remark Immediately started
much comment and discussion, and
when Mr.. Long returned to the navy
department after lunch he found that

nature had occurred. An hour or
more of the time of the cabinet session
was occupied in the. reading of a, long
report from the special agent of the
post office department on the killing of
Baker. the colored postmaster at Lake
City, S. c. In view of the peculiar cir
cumstances connected with the murder,
and the enormity of the crime, it, was
decided to increase the governments
