A Dam In the WeII

In the vineyard on the eastern slope
OF Wheeling hill is an old well some
forty feet in depth. 1t is near a much
used path ana it has never been filled
up or protected as it should be to keep
people from falling into. and it is a
wonder that fatal accident has not
occurred
Last evening as Walter Shaffer and
Mr.. Hervey were passing the we'll they
heard sounds seeming to come from it.
Examination revealed the fact that
some creature had fallen into the we'll
and was still alive. Steps were at
once taken to effect a rescue and a
poor emaciated dog was found at tho
bottom and brought to the surface
From his appearance it was evident he
had been there several days. This
death trap should at once receive at
tention.

tions by his attorney: I'VE had been

ing with the girls all the afternoon.

the beer and told the children they
could have the other quarter to buy
ice cream. | didn't know that there

They told me they were going to have
me arrested. | had often had the girls
on my lap in the same way before.
Mike Newhart told me there was big
excitement. | saw Speidel and told
him he had better see what the charge
was. What | meant by saying to
Speidel that IL he had stayed away
five minutes there would have been
something serious. was that II looked
like riot. or something as they were
so excited"
Cross-examination ~ had the little
boy on my lap. The women gave me
no chance to adjust myself when they
began hitting me. There was no child
on my lap when they came in. | cant
imagine why the women swore to what
they did about that unless they want
to make a case against me. The girls
might have been in my lap. but don't
think they were in the way they said"
State Attorney Meyers then said: 1T
seems to us the evidence in the case
does not establish the crime charged
rape or attempt to rape. or anything,
under our statues, but assault and bat
terry. as we have no statute covering
an indecent assault"
Defendants attorney said: I'VE
have agreed to plead guilty to
assault II the court will i'm
pose the lowest fine" Squire
Fitzpatrick: II will be party to no
such an agreement. | will adjust the
fine to suit myself, Ten dollars and
costs"

Handlon.
The court: "A man of his age ought

different. I'll make II five dollars and

Times have changed indeed from the
time when Sydney Smith complacently
observed that the United States had
so much wilderness clearing to do that
it might well take its literature, learn
ing and luxury in the bulk from Eng
fish factories.
"Why," he had asked, SHOULD the
Americans write books when a six
weeks passage brings them, in their
own tongue, our sense, science and gen
ius in bales and hogsheads? Prairies,
steamboats,, gristmills, are their nat
ural objects for centuries to come"
We might almost reverse this and
ask, "Why should the English feel i'll
at ease when six days passage brings
them our sense, science and genius?"
For the time at least the Rev. sgd
ney Smiths chief notoriety seems to
be that he was the author of certain
observations whose truthfulness has
proved as brief as 1t was btter.-Har-

HANDLING BIG sERPENTs.
Poisonous Snakes In Demand by
Doctors For Experimenting.

in handling a big snake you must
always touch him with soft, smooth,
gliding motion of the hand, making it
feel to him as much as possible like
the touch of another snake, and, be-
sides, you must be careful to keep his
tail out straight. Keep the tail straight,
and he can't coil on you. His bite is
nothing, for he has not poison, but his
foll around your leg or arm or body
will crush the bones.
The poisonous snakes-the water,
moccasins, rattlesnakes and copper
heads-are bought for ZOOS Now and
then a doctor buys them heavily for
awhile. He wants to experiment with
their poison. After he has been bitten
two or three times he stops buying
There are a number of people who
buy snakes for pets. These people al
ways, without an exception, make pets
also of rats, mice and turtles. Any one
fon5' of snakes is sure to be fond of
those other things too. They keep their
snakes and turtles and rats as near as
possible to them. Often they keep
young man who used to come here last
year after pine snakes-a university
student. That young man would sit
with his hand in among the coils of a
cageful of snakes for hours He would
take ones head in his hands and lift
its face close up to his own and gaze
for long time in its eyes. Then he
would hold it off and stroke it and
study its changing colors in a kind of
trance, I don't know what pleasure or
satisfaction he got out of the snakes
He bought over dozen from me dur
ing the year and kept them in his bed

and got among the neighbors and rails

A Railroad Man. story,

"One of the worst starts / ever had"
said an engineer the other day, was
due to large, lazy pig that had got
on my mind. Nothing will slide train
more easily and destructively from the
rails than live pork. This particular
specimen had a habit of burrowing
alongside the track, and it was a fair
presumption that sooner or later he
would find something to interest him
between the rails and somebody would
go down the bank.
Il was coming down hill one day
at high speed and craning my neck for
a comforting sight of piggy in his &C.
customed place when, as 1 popped
around the curve, a bright red flag as
saulted my anxious gaze. The connec-
ton between that flag and the pig was
only bit of mental alteration on my
part, but it was very vivid. shut of
and grabbed the whistle cord. but be-
fore I could even screech for brakes
saw that the flag was only red fan
mel shirt which the good woman of the
shanty to which the pig belonged had
hung on an improvised clothesline be-
tween the telegraph poles.

scare, but it represents a type that
