STIRRED THINGS UP
SNAKE CAUSED ANIMATION IN
SMOKING PARLoR.
Melancholy and Bored Looking Youth
Plays a Mean Trick on Patrons Of
Boston Resort-Dire Threats Of
Vengeance Made.

A tall and melancholy-looking
youth, dressed like a laborer, strolled
into a smoking parlor on fremont
street about II o'clock last night and,
taking seat, ordered cup of cof-
fee and proceeded to look around in
a bored sort of way, says the Boston
Globe. There was the usual number
of young women and male loafers
sitting around the place, but every.
thing was quiet, too quiet, apparently,
to suit the melancholy youth.
Some of the patrons of the place
regarded him in a rather contemptu-
GUS manner because he wasn't as
well or as flashily dressed as the ma
jority of the habitues of the place, but
the young man paid no attention
either to the other people in the
place or to their looking at him.
He gazed in an absent minded sort
of way at a peroxide beauty and an
anemone style of female opposite him,
and when the fatswoman stuck up ner
nose at him the young man smiled
blandly, whereupon she looked away.
AS she did SO, he reached into the
capacious pocket on the starboard
side of his sack coat and drew out
little snake, which he dropped gently
to the floor. Then he resumed his
study of the ceiling.
The snake may have seen other
things in the room aside from the
fat woman opposite it, but it crawled
rapidly and directly toward the per.
oxide beautY's anemone friend, and
the lady of the embonpont saw 1t
coming.
With screech that scared the
head waiter she leaped on the frail
table in front of her, to the everlast.

ture, while the drug store blonde is.
sued two whoops and, clutching her
skirts with both hands, bolted for the
door.
The other women in the place also
shrieked and shouted for the police,
and everybody else they could think
of, and then, with skirts held high
they made a mad rush for the exits.
They were pretty quick in getting
there, too. but not as quick as the
men who were in the place, as they
reached the door first and went down
The stairs three steps at time, shout
ing for the police.
There was such crush at the door
when the women reached it that
here was blockade, and the women
clutched and clawed at each other
intil they finally got out. All but the
anemone lady, who was in dead faint
and Needless of the snake, which
was working its way around the
smoking parlor.
When the excited crowd got out in
the street they made such racket
that people came running from all d.
fections under the impression that
there was a fire. Some policemen
came too, and they went upstairs
with clubs drawn, only to find that
one of the walters had regained his
aerve and had killed the snake by
stepping on it
The fat woman was revived and
went away threatening to sue some
body for damages.
The melancholy youth who let
loose the snake lost himself In the
crowd and got away in safety, al
though the vengeance of those who
run the Turkish parlor was solemnly
sworn against him

Pacification In Russia.

A vivid notion of what ''paci6cation"
Is supposed to mean in official Russia
Is conveyed by an incident which late.
ly occurred at Halk, in the HharkoI
province.
A number of peasants were placed
OH trial charged with active participa
ton in the disturbances of last spring.
The counsel for the defense eight
Moscow lawyers of some position at.
tempted to put questions 10 the accus d
peasants regarding their treatment 10y
the soldiers after the outbreak. The
president of the court at once in'cr
vened and refused to allow such qlcs-
tons to be answered. The lawyers
then retired for consultation and on
their return into court read a declara-
ton TO the effect that they could no:
continue their pleading after the pres
ident's decision The defense they had
wished TO set up was that the peasants
had already been suttic emily punished
by the dragooning to which they had
been subjected. The men themselves
had been mercilessly logged, and their
women had, many of them, been sub
jected TO brutal outrage. For the court
to condemn them to any further pun
