TIE Hanna. Me cKihley men are dread Y beginning to see that the retirement of Czar Reed doesn't call fer as much re-
 loicing on their part as they thought it did when it was first made public. It will remove powerful enemy from the pathway of the administration, but there is danger that the scramble for the spcakerhhip, which has already started, may create number of emaller enemies who may be able to do more damage to administration plans and politics than one big enemy like Mir.

n Madrid When tho Entire Population
Was Terribly Excited.
London correspondence New York
Mail and Express: A Sunday or two
ago Madrid was convulsed with a
question which outweighed all others.
In the theaters, in the cafes. and in
the streets there was but one subject
OF conversation, and that was not the
cession of Cuba or the rebellion in the
Philippines. but matter which touch
ed the Madridenos nearer home. In
the Gale de Sevilla, especially. on that
Sunday, was news awaited with anx-
iety from the meeting which was be-
ing held at the Hotel Anglais. At last,
about 10 o'clock In the evening, man
breath, and only Just able to utter the
words: He will cut It off!" The ten
sion was relaxed, there was a general
feeling OF relief. and the glad news
was passed from mouth to mouth, "He
will cut 1t off" In such times Of po-
litical crisis the stranger might have
been pardoned II he imagined that 1t
was somebody's head which was to be
cut Off. but as a matter OF fact he
would have been too sweeping in his
ideas. The man in question was NJ.
Felix Robert. a Frenchman, who pro-
posed to appear before the public at
Madrid as a toreador. So far. so good !;
but in the course Of a banquet at Ma
drid he had announced that he thought
OF appearing in the ring In a mapner
not consistent with tradition. Hence
all the heated arguments which con-
vulsed the city and deprived 1t OF ap-
petite and sleep. The meeting at the
Hotel Anglais brought about happy
solution. NJ. Felix Robert, after a
long debate, decided to cut of his
mustache before appearing in the bull
ring. Tradition was kept unimpaired
and that night Madrid went tranquil
and contented to bed.

One Darlington, a New Milford (Pa)
farmer, recently succeeded in capturing
q snake. or pair of snakes. hitched TO-
gether like the Siamese twins. The
reptile has two heads and two tails.
All the rest Of the body is like that OF
a single snake. with the exception Of
slight depression above and below
extending the entire length. The bod
les join about six inches from the head.
Each tail is almost foot long. Tho
length of the Joined body is two feet
nine inches. The twins were discoy-
cred last summer by a little son OF
Darlington, who told his father about
them and showed him the track across
the road. Darlington ran across, 1t a
few days ago when blasting rock
and succeeded in taking it alive. The
twin snakes are jet black, with yell
low ring just behind the head. Both
mouths take food.
A Callicoon (Pa) farmer bought
barrel to pack some beef in, and left 1t
in the barnyard, one night recently.
Next morning it was gone, to his great
vexation. as pork barrels are not plen-

no one in the neighborhood whom the
farmer suspected of stealing 1t, and the
disappearance was a mystery that he
tried to solve for a long time In vain.
The other day the secret came out.
Passing along a scrub-oak ridge near
a brook he saw his missing barrel in
hollow. He went to the barrel. and as
he laid his hand on 1t there was great
rumbling inside and out popped bear,
which gave a startled look and shuf-
fed away rapidly into the bush. There
was no explanation of the presence Of
the barrel in that spot except on the
theory that the bear had stolen 1t In
the night and rolled 1t all the way to
the ridge, where the barrel had lodged.
