MANILA RAT TRAPS.
One Consists of a Small Boy With a
 Big Snake on His Arm.

Have you seen the big snake and the small boy? Well, they will be around to see you.
 It is displeasing combination, but one whose aims possess quadruple qualities-may be lihened to a game of cards-high, low. jack and the game. The mission of boy and snake is high the conservation of the public health. the calling low-the catching of rats, the boys name is Jack-and the game? Well. it's both rodents and bounty.
 The manner in which the boy, through the snakes eXertions, comes in possession of rat and bounty is unique. The boy. with the reptile on his arm and gunnysack in hand, enters the court of q residence, and usually, after much palaver in corrupt lan- guage, secures permission to begin the crusade. With vigilant and keen eyes he inspects the premises. In this in spection he displays training the most systematic and acute-the gamin can discover a rat hole quicker than semi-nude savage on the firing line, hot in escape from American occupa- tion and American soldiery.
 But the finding by Jack of one hole. while it pleases, doesn't satisfy his am bition-he wants to find two-one of entrance, the other of egress. When he has located to his satisfaction the two holes he uncoils the repulsfve crea- ture from his arm. and planting both feet upon it brings forth from hidden recess of trousers a small net. the rl""hes of which are very fine. While
 h" serpent wriggles and twists and iaI;s forth from muzzle it's forked
 frEn, Jack. by crafty dexterity, l. e" the net over the reptiles head and securely fastens it with sinew.
 This done. the snake resumes its arm held ard is conveyed to one of the

 FICTION BEFORE FACT.

Fact is said to be stranger than fic- ton. but how about fiction anticipating the fact?
 In the June issue of the Argosy las; year appeared a complete novel bearing the title, The Fate of the Border Knight. IL told of the experiences on board steamer of that name when the captain, out of his head, imagined that the shaft was cracked and refused to let the engines be worked. The out come was the wrecking of the vessel.
 The magazine had been on the news stands barely q week when the news papers printed accounts of a steamer called the Border Knight abandoned at sea by most of her crew owing to d broken shaft. She finally made port after weeks of privation, but the coin cidence between fact and fancy was so pronounced as to excite a good deal of comment at the time.
 The captain of tre real Border Knight heard of the story. and was inclined to be rather huffed oyer the extra noto- riety accorded in an altogether accl- dental fashion to his misadVenture.
 But it seems that the Argosy was not yet through with its work as a calamity anticipator. In the issue for February there was published a complete novel, entitled "Tha Casaways of Eagle Pass. . detailing the sufferings of the passen- gers on a railroad train snowbound for several days. Ore of the victims final ly tapped the telegraph wires and sent an appeal for aid in two directions Now comes news of an almost simi- lar experience befalling a train on the Great Northern road in North Dakota. There vas the same shortage of food supply, a lGck of fuel to engender warmth, and help was finally obtained by the tapping of the wires.
 The editor of the Argosy is now ask | ing himself What next?" and debating whether he will be held as an accessory before the fact. He has scheduled for the June issue a story touching on an alleged case of Kidnapping, and is won dering if the millionaires of the country will enjoin its pubIication.-New York News.

HEARTFELT WISH OF HANNA.

Senator Hanna does not claim to be a scholar" remarked one of his col leagues, but frequently he surprises his friends by quick and keen quota tion from philosophers and historians.
 II was enjoying luncheon with him recently and was struck with the charm and range of hrs conversation. In a moment of confidence, and with perhaps a mischievous purpose of de- coying him into an expression of pos sible further political ambitions he might entertain. I said:
 Senator. you have great wealth and many honors, and I know that you are man of abundant happiness. but do you not at times cherish wish for something in addition to all your pres ent achievement?'
 While I had been speaking Senator Hanna had been looking along the table at several dishes which he had not tasted. for although he is blessed with rare constitution he does not eat to excess. ltfl7y'
