The Small Boy and His Snake After
BOunties.

Have you seen the big snake and the
small boy? Well, they will be around
to see you.
1t is a displeasing combination, but
one whose aims possess quadruple qua
lities-may be likened 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 is both rodents and bounty.
The manner in which the boy, through
the snakes exertions comes in possess
sion of rat ana bounty is unique. The
boy with the reptile on his arm and
gunnysack in hand, enters the court Of
a residence, and usually after much pa
laver in corrupt language, secures per-
mission to begin the crusade. With vigil
liant and keen eye he inspects the pre-
misses. In this inspection he displays
training the most systematic and acute
the gamin can discover a rat hole
quicker than a semi-nude savage on the
firing line, hot in escape from American
occupation 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 en-
trance, the other of egress. When he
has located to his satisfaction the two
holes he uncoils the repulsive creature
from his arm, and planting both feet
upon it brings forth from hidden re-
cess of trousers a small net, the meShes
of which are very fine. While the SER
pent wriggles and twists and darts
forth from muzzle it's forked tongue.
Jack by crafty deXterity, places the net
over the reptiles head and securely fas-
tens it with sinew.
This done, the snake resumes it's arm
hold and is conveyed to one of the
holes. The boy squats and forces the
head of the creature into the hole. The
snake, by some unknown force-instinct
or something else-is certainly apprised
of what its master wants, for it's body
slowly enters the hole and disappears
The small embrOwned boy runs to the
other hole, places the sack over it and
awaits the result, with an anxious
what the harvest-be look on coun-
tenance.
Sometimes the boys face glows with
capitalistic triumph, for a number of
rats scamper into the bag; sometimes
neither rats nor snake appear, and the
boy feels bad. Nothing remains for
him to do but wait. He does so, and his
patience is finally rewarded by the APP
pearance of the snake, whose hunt has
been without quarry.
The boy is so small and the snake so
big that he has grown lopsided in car
rying it about-for it is always coiled
on the right arm.-Manila Volcano.

Herr Won Thielen, the Prussan minister
of public works. speaking before the Diet
yesterday on the railway budget, referred
to the application of electricity to broad
gauge. long-distance railways. He re-
viewed the recent experiments the
Wannsee and ZOssen roads, and said that
traffic on the former, which is a Berlin
suburban line, has been abandoned because
electricity as a motive power was twice as
expensive as steam and less secure from ac-
perfect, continued the speaker, and he
was therefore, convinced that the high
power. lOng-train system could rot be gem
orally adopted. The authorities were ne
gotiating, however, with an electrical COM
pany to introduce electrical traction on all
trains between Grosslchterfelde, seven
miles from Berlin, and the German capital
with prospects of better success. Refer
ring to the high velocity attained during
the single-car experiments on the military
road between Berlin and ZOssen, where a
speed of 100 miles an hour was attained,
the minister of public works said he hoped
for increased speed through the strength

COMMISSION ROW TRADE
AN IMPETUS GIVEN TO 1T BY THE
FINE WEATHER.
Though There Are Plenty OF Potatoes,
Prices Keep Up-The Local
Grain Markets

A fine day gave new life to trade IN
nearly all lines on Commission Row yes
terday. The potato situation is puzzlins
dealers on account of its firmness when
the supply is so large. Foreign potatoes
are largely supplying the East and Mlchl-
gan and Northwestern potatoes are IN
abundant supply; still prices keep up 10
90c to csc bushel Few changes were made
yesterday. Apples moved fairly, but a
weaker tone in prices is noticeable. Oranges
still in good request and firm in price
Lemons are beginning TO move and prices
are hardening somewhat Provisions are
active. Hams and smoked meats especially
are in good demand Poultry and butter are
in active demand and prices are very
strong. Eggs are also firm. but a day or
two of warm weather will break the egg
market. Eggs are much cheaper than fresh
meats.
In groceries prices rule remarkably
steady. A wholesale merchant said yester-
day that in his long business career he had
never known staple groceries to rule as
steady as for a year past. When there is
any change it is so slight as not to affect
trade. Fortunately, few bad bills ara made
and with small profits the wholesale mer-
chants are making some gains. The dry
goods houses report trade as active. after
a lull of two or three days, due TO uusea-
sonable weather. The tendency to higher
prices in all lines of dry goods causes mer-
chants who take advantage of the market
to stock up more freely than they would
were prices steady in tone, as there Is no
likelihood Of declines.
