A Big Snake Story.

A Whiting (Missouri) man tells the
following:
HWhile on his way home had an expert
ence in the city park the other night which
is very thrilling. As he was passing near
the band stand he heard strange noise.
After investigating he found it came from
a large rattlesnake. 1t was pinioned to a
log by large limb broken from tree.
He set the snake free and went on his
journey homeward, unconscious that the
snake was following. He sat down to sup
per and in picking up spoon which he
had carelessly dropped on the floor, again
saw the snake. He fed it and they be-
came fast friends The snake would eat from
his hand, wrap around his neck and hug
him and sleep coiled up on the foot of the
bed. This continued for week or more.
But one night the man was restless and
could not sleep, He called to the snake
and it did not respond as usual, SO he arose,
lighted the lamp and began to search for
his pet. He found the snake in the par
lor wrapped around the neck of burglar,
and its tail hanging out of the window
rafting for the police.

WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under the Sun"

All Doctors have tried to cure CATARRH
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry
up the mucuous membranes causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers have
aimed TO cure, while pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. AN old and expert
enced practitioner who has for many years
made close study and specially of the treat
ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected
Treatment which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently cures

CHAPTER ".

Pauline and her party did not return to
Holly Hill until the afternoon of the following
day. The clouds had been all day gathering,
and when they started for home at 2 O'Clock
the air was darkened by the heavy clouds of
falling snow, driven in their faces by the north
winds sharp blasts. But hot young blood
cares little for the frigidity of the atmosphere,
and they tucked the robes snugy about them,
and babe gay defiance to the savage demon
STATIONS of old Boreas.
Doctor Terrell, riding along the highway on
his way to visit patient and unmindful OF
the storm in overcoat, artics and muller, sud
denly had his reyeries broken by the faint
jingling of bells, and looking up he saw dimly
outlined through the flying snowaakes team
and sleigh several hundred yards away and
rapidly approaching. As the sleigh drew
nearer be saw that the horses were coming at
a terrific speed, and loud ''whoas, " together
with woman's scream, told him that their
gait was not of the drivers volition.
Instinctively Terrell felt that the sleigh was
Ginters and that the scream was Pauline's.
There flashed through his mind the thought of
the high cliff that overlooked the river at
curve in the road only a short distance in his
rear, and he thought that the horses in making
this curve would almost certainly dash the
sleigh and its occupants over the precipice's

West Virginia Steer Brings 81, 2ee.

The third annual and most successful
fat stock show ever held in Pittsburg, Pa. !,
closed last week with banquet rendered
to the visiting shippers, breeders and dealers
by General Manager Simon O. Donnell, of
the East Liberty Stockyards. At the
auction sale of the prizewinners and other
cattle all price records were broken for beef
on the hoof. Charles Escher's load of
first prizewinners, after spirited bidding,
finally sold for 2l3 cents per pound, said
to be the highest price ever paid for car

ing 2,190 pounds, raised by A. D. Basel,
of Lost Creek, W. Va, was sold for 81,

CHAPTER IL.

Without another word he left the room and
Pauline soon heard the door slam behind him
as he left the house. For moment she stood
half dazed by the suddenness of it all. Sud
denly she remembered the ring in the fire and.
Selling the tongs, sank down on her knees by
the fender and began searching among the
Goals and ashes for the missing trinket.
Although not in very graceful position and
engaged in rather ridiculous task, Pauline
made pretty picture as she knelt there, with
the freight glintng on her chestnut hair, and
causing the tear that coursed its way slowly
down her cheek to fash with a diamonds
light.
After poking among the ashes for several
moments she dragged forth the ring, smoke
blackened and warm, but otherwise none the
worse for its thermal experience. After plac-
ing it back in its wonted place on the taper
third finger of her left hand she went slowly
up to her room and retired, and like many
another woman cried herself to sleep over the
milk which she had to confess she had herself
split
The day of the ball was au ideal Christmas
day. The sun shone brightly in cloudless
sky, and its rays caused the frost-covered snow
to look as if it were sprnkled with diamond
dust The air was sharp and bracing and
sleighing was fine.
But Pauline Cameron heart did not accord
with the brightness of the day. She already
feltthe gnawirg fangs of remorse, for she knew
that her engagement with John Terrell had
been broken through her perversity, and now
that her anger had cooled and she could look
at matters calmly she regretted it.
They had been engaged nearly year, and
were to have been married when Pauline
reached her twenty-frst birthday, which was
still several years away, but her father declared
that he would not sooner give up his only
child. Pauline's mother had died in giving
her birth, and all the love which Judge Cam
eron had lavished on his beautiful young wife
was given to the little fairy image of herself

which she left behind. All the luxuries which
affiuent circumstances could give were hers,
and her every wish was grati6ed.
While Pauline was growing up at Holly Hill
John Terrell was engaged in the same mys-
terious business at Riverview. The friendship
between the two families was of the strongest
type, and the two children were fast friends
and constant playmates. One of Pauline's
earliest sorrows was having to part with her
old friend when he, bright lad of sixteen,
went off to Washington and Lee. They were
always together during the vacation months,
but when John had graduated and went to
Jefferson to take course in medicine Pauline
was sent TO Hollins, and through some circum-
stances they did not meet till four years alter
ward, when she graduated and came home to
her father at Holly Hill and found Terrell set
tied down at Riverview fully .fedged physi-
clan. The old friendship again renewed soon
ripened into love, and an engagement followed
which gave great satisfaction to both families.
But all this was changed now, and by herown
wilfulness, Pauline felt; and it was little wonder
that it was with heavy heart that she re-
sponded to her fathers "Merry Christmas
and received his costly gifts. and that their
guests who arrived during the day to spend
the holidays with them should wonder what
made her so listless and downcast
Pauline and her guests all went to Mrs.
Preston's ball, starting soon after the old
Christmas dinner. They made merry party
with their gay laughter and songs, mingling
with the musical tinkling of the sleigh bells
Pauline was the gayest of the gay now, but it
did not require very close observer to see
that her gayety was too reckless to be real.
She was in the sleigh with Charley Ginter, and
that young gentleman thought that he had.
never seen one so gay and froliesome.

NEW YORK'S BLIND LIONESS
She Is Very Fond of Her Keeper and
Knows Him from All
Others.

The Central park menagerie at New
York has a great African lioness that
is totally blind. One would scarcely
guess it from her appearance, how
ever. She walks up and down her
cage just the same as the other MEM
bers of the cat family and she knows
just as well as the animals that have
their sight when one of the keepers
comes near, says an exchange of that
city.
Alice is more fond of Keeper Shan
non than any of the others; he feeds
her. When Shannon approaches she
puts her nose close to the bars and
oscillates her whiskers knowingly, as
much as to say: 81 know you, Mike
Shannon, just as well as if 1 could
see you. Where is my meat?"
Shannon says that Alice is about
25 years old and has been blind for
five years. Since she lost her sight
her senses of hearing and smell have
become keener than ever. When Billy
Snyder comes from the elephant
house to the lion house direct Alice
becomes restless and ugly. She
growls and snarls and lifts her nose
in the air as if she scented danger.
Snyder says that the lioness can
smell the elephant, and it reminds her
of the days when she was a rowing
youngster in the jungles. He believes
that Alice must have had a muss of
some kind with an elephant.

Naturally enough both the railroads
and the express companies are siren
uously endeavoring to suppress the
practice, but it seems so far with
poor success.
The professional shoppers are well
known in the towns from which they
come to Chicago, and in nearly every
instance they have built up quite a
business, for there are hundreds and
hundreds of citizens in these towns
who are naturally enough not averse

they can save by letting the commits

and each evening he makes the
rounds among them to find out what
he can purchase for them on his trip

customers give the man their orders

err boy when he calls, and the next
evening they receive whatever they
have ordered from Chicago.
