"BlLL" AND "DAN."
seesaseeessseasss@s s@ssssas.ss s.sss....s......

Lovers of the curious in nature will
be surprised to learn that snakes have
more than ordinary intelligence and
are susceptible to a high degree of
training. The Bible says: "Be ye as
wise as serpants and as harmless as
doves" The inspired writer seems
to have had profound knowledge of
snakeology, although limiting his re-
marks to the passing observation as
to their superior wisdom.
Readers of THE REPUBLICAN will
remember about Joe Conneway's two
pet black snakes and how he raised
them from the original egg, so to
speak, by Matching them out in his
incubator. The snakes are full grown
now and when last measured tipped
the tape at five feet three and one
quarter inches. They are fat, sleek
and shining, and when in rapid mo-
tion seem like two streaks of highly
polished ebony.
Joe is born animal trainer and
snake tanner, as well as an up -to-date
farmer, and is a great believer in gen
tie treatment in the handling of stock.
The pet snakes are living proof of his
theory and method, and he naturally
takes great pride in having Bill and
Dan-as he calls them-show off their
accomplishments.
With an infinite deal of patience
and careful training, Joe has taught
his queer pets to do all kinds of odd
jobs, such as bringing up the cows,
watching the chickens off of the gar
den and keeping the flies off the din
ner table. This last function is rather
trying to the nerves of the casual par
taker of Joe's hospitable board on ac-
count of the snakes having to hang
down from a pole suspended over the
table, where they swing back and
forth above the dishes and gulp flies
at their leisure. The snakes under
stand what Joe says to them and are
always ready to do his bidding. If
he says: Bill, you go and get that
speckled pullet over there by the ap-
pie tree" Bill slips over to the unsus-
pecting fowl and grabbing it by the
neck yanks it around to the kitchen

MARYLAND PLACES
GOldsborough a Leading Candidate
for the Senatorship.
LEGISLATIVE CAMPAIGN BEGUN
Chances That Gold Democratic Postmaster
WarfieId. of Baltimore, Will Succeed
Himself in That Office if He Wishes.

Phillips Lee GoldsbOrough, the pop
ular young leader of the Eastern
Shore Republicans, and chairman of
the State Committee in one of the
most successful fights the party ever
made in Maryland, will be his partys
leading candidate for United States
Senator to succeed Duke Yelling
ton. To this end he and his friends
have decided to keep open State head
quarters all winter so as to lay the
wires for the campaign for the legis-
lature in the early spring.
Goldsborough for Senator will be a
catching cry on the Eastern Shore.
Ever since Wellington, as the Eastern
Shoremen say, "usurpedn the Sen
atorship which belonged to the East
ern Shore there has been disappoint-
ment in that part of the State. For
half century or more it had been a
custom for one of Maryland's Sena-
tors to come from the Eastern and
the other from the Western shore of
the Chesapeake Bay. Goldsborough
was a candidate at the time Yelling
ton insisted upon having the Senator
ship as his reward for his work as
chairman of the State Committee in
the fight in 1895, which resulted in
the overthrow of German and the
election of the first Republican Gov
ernor in 30 years.
The Democrats used to uphold the
Eastern Shore Senatorial custom law,
but they will not advocate its re-en-
actment. Mr.. German will be the
candidate next year unless his health
fails. He is Western Shoreman,
although some of his friends say that
Eastern Shore Democrats would in
terpose not the slightest objection
to him. Mr.. German is still the Dem
ocratic leader in Maryland, stronger
now than one or two years ago.
Senator McComas will, it is believ-
ed, fully support Goldsborough for
the other Senatorship, should the Re-
publicans succeed in securing con-
troll of the Legislature. McComas
will have the distribution of the po-
litical patronage under McKinley's
second administration. He will have
no little trouble, however, in satisfy

been of the heavy loss of the Demo
Gratis on the Eastern Shore, up to 1895
the Gibraltar of the Democracy. In
thirty-five years previous to the last
election but one Republican, DR..
Isaac A. Barber, had been sent to
Congress from this district. The Dem
ocratic losses at the recent election
are attributed to three cause.-the
opposition in his own party to Mr..
Moore, the Democratic candidate for
Congress; the oyster law, and a dearth
of money on the Democratic side.
This is the first time the Eastern
Shore ever gave so large a majority
for the Republican ticket, the vote
obtained by Mr.. Jackson being nearly
as large as that given Governor Smith
last year, and greater than that polled
by both Congressman Smith and Sill
yer Candidate Willis two years ago.
Somerset county's percentage of Re
publican gain was greater than that
of any other county in the State.

door. If Joe says: Dan, you go un-
hook the barnyard gate and drive the
COWS OUT Dan throws up his head
and chasing out to the barn unhooks
the gate and rushes the COWS out in a
hurry.
Tramps and peddlers give Stone
henge Farm a wide berth ever since
the pet snakes chased dirty hobo
from the front yard down the noun
tain, on dead run, oyer logs and
boulders and over the fence to the
pike.
Bill and Dan are very fond of music
and if any one is playing on the organ
the snakes will climb up on Il chair
and keep time with their tails, or if it
happens to be a rag time two-step or
a coon cakewalk they will stand
partly erect and sway their bodies
about like Hootchee Kootchee
dancer, their eyes cleaning with en-
joyment and their forked tongues
flying in and out with a sibbilant hiss.
Last fall Dan was missing for two
or three weeks and the entire family
was III mourning for the lost pet. If
"Bill'' knew anything about the alb
sentee he kept the secret to himself.
But one day late in October Bill came
rushing into the house in a perfect
fever Of excitement and began peck
lag at Joe's trouser leg. Joe was
reading one OF Bryan's speeches at
the time and was out of humor with
Bryan's specious arguments and when
he looked down at the snake he said:
what in thunder's the matter with
you now, Bill ~ Bill glided toward
the door and looking around motion.
ed his head for Joe to follow him. Joe
was somewhat surprised at the
snakes actions, and turning to his
wife said: Emma, Bill is acting kind
of queer like; l guess I'll go and see
what he wants" Joe followed Bill
out into the yard and almost fell over
himself at the sight of the long lost
Dan. For Dan was coming slowly up
the path with lot of little chicks
perched on his back, chirping and
grooming as happily as you please.
The secret was out at last Dan

For Testing Road Materials,

The secretary of agriculture has
established in the division of chemis-
try laboratory for testing all varie-
ties of road material, such as gravel,
shells, rock, brick, clays and other
bodies used in road building in coun-
try districts, but do not include ma
terials for municipalities. The labor
atory will be ready for operation
about December l, and all persons
desiring road materials tested should
write to the Office of public road in
quiries, Washington, D. G. for instruc-

ing the cravings of the factions.
The Malsterites will insist that ex-
Mayor Malster be taken care of, and
it is said the latter will receive the
appointment of Surveyor of the Port,
succeeding John B. Hanna, and that
Mr.. Goldsborough will become Collect
or of Internal Revenue, in place of Mr..
Parlett.
The strong and aggressive fight
during the campaign by the Union
League forces, headed by Collector of
the Port William F. Stone, will make
that gentleman's friends insist upon
his reappointment, and it is unlikely
that there will be any change. There
are also many candidates for the
offices of United States Marshal and
Assistant United States Treasurer,
and looking longingly at the position
of Postmaster of Baltimore, now oc-
cupied by S. Davies Warfield, who
led the fight of the Honest Money
Democrats. 1t is safe to predict that
the President will again recognize the
efforts of Postmaster Warfield in
bringing about the Republican vic
tory in Maryland, if the latter desires
it. Mr.. Warfield was appointed post
master by President Cleyeland, and
reappointed under President McKin-
ley in recognition of his work as the
leader of the Sound Money Demo
cratic League, in 1896. The Contin-
entail Trust Company, of which he is
the president, now demands a large
part of his time, and as he is one of
the busiest men in the city the Re-
publican politicians are praying that
he will decide to drop the postmaster
ship.
