5he hting snake Of coburg.
BY CHARLES SLOAN REID.

Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub Co.
The king snake had Toasted to the
satisfaction of his stomach upon the
rats of Amos Elderwood's barn, and had
crawled out upon the village pavement
to sun himself. Village life was new to
him. He realized that there was a diff
ference between village pavements and
the springhouse trail at Mr.. Elderwood's
home in the country, where he had
been won't to take his morning baths of
sunshine; but he did not realize the fact
that he might become a terror to the
villagers who CHANGED to pass that way
and who were unaccustomed to meeting
citizens of his order. But then he had
not come to town of his own free WILL
He was property. He belonged to Mr.
Elderwood, along with the ducks, gum
cas-, chickens, horses, cattle and dogs,
and when it was decided in the Elder
wood family that it was best to take a
house in the village for few years, in
order that the children might be sent to
school, why the king snake was carried
along
Coin to take the king snake, Amos?"
Mrs. Elderwood had asked, as her nus
band had brought out the reptile on the
day they moved and placed him in a
safe corner of the wagon.
"Of course 1 am, Myra," was the an
sWer; don't you guess a village rat'H
taste as sweet to him as country
'un?''
Mr.. Derupsy DuvalI was walking leis-
urely along short street which inter
sected the main street of Coburg, at
the corner of EIderwood's place, when
a shrill scream suddenly assailed his ears
from somewhere in front of him. The
scream had issued from womans throat
and Dempsey felt IN his bones that the
owner of that throat must be beautiful,
else whence Sc much music in a scream?
He quickened his pace, hurrying around
corner at a rapid stride.
Inc barometer of DuvalIs bones had
not deceived him. There. standing ter
rorized and unable to move within six
feet of Elderwood's king snake, was a
tall, young girl, SO slender and so beau
itful that DuvaH blinked to assure him
self that he had not peeped into fairy
land.
But dempsey was a practical man,
and he had at once seen the cause OF
the young lady's alarm. The king snake
lay still, evidently dreaming of the spring
house path in the country. But, alas for
his removal to the city, the days of his
usefulness were at an end.
1nverting the gold-headed umbrella
which he carried, and without slackening
his rapid pace, Duvall suddenly swung
his hastily improvised golf club through
the air and brought it around with such
force as to sweep the little heap of reptil-
ian coils from the pavement, sending the
king snake far across the street to fail
a hfeless mass into the gutter.
"Oh, thank youl exclaimed the girl
fervently, as a little flush suffused her
cheeks and the long eyelashes dropped
a little over her eyes.
Dempsy lifted his hat and bowed as
he made movement to pass on.
1.-THE fates were good to send me here
at this time.'' he dared to say as he

Flowers at Coronation.

Not little perturbation is being felt
by the English people because of the de-
lay in proclaiming the coronation flower.
The lily of the valley, the rose and the
carnation are all vieing with each other
for the honor and adherents of the va
best to further the interests of %.leir IA
vorites. Acres of lilies of the valley, It
is said, have been planted for the pur-
pose, although this delicate flower has
hitherto been largely imported. But for
an occasion wholly English not even a
foreign posey could enter the list There
is rumor that the queen has expressed
a desire to have the red rose deck every
loyal subject at the coronation, and that
several thousand such rose bushes have
been planted at Windsor, in order that
tbs royal gardens may not fail of their
supply at the time.

INDIVIDUAL CASSEROLE DISHES.

By Parker Quincy Adams, Copyright, 1902.
With the use of the casserole more gen
orally there has come in the individual
casserole, a small dish just large enough
to hold one order. By it's use you may
secure practically the same results as With
the larger dish, except in the cooking of
some dishes where it is letter to blend
a large quantity of different kinds Of in
the preparation Of many of the lighter
dishes the individual casserole is much
to be preferred. Let me give you an ex-
ample
Sweetbreads and Mushrooms on Cas-
serole -Blanch thoroughly the sweet
breads, and when well whitened place
them in saucepan, cover with boiling
water, add one-half a teaspoonful of salt
and simmer for fifteen minutes then
drain and cut each in half, using a silver
knife. TO prepare for six persons, have
cupful each of tiny diced carrots. white
turn1p, string beans, green peas and
French beans. Divide the vegetables
among the caSseroles, lay in each half of
a SWeetbread and add fresh or four
canned mushrooms cut fine. Prepare q
sauce as follows: In a saucepan put two
tablespoons of butter, two tablespoons of
chopped carrot, the same of chopped
onions and one tableSpono of chopped cell
cry. Cover closely and place over a
moderate fire for ten minutes shaking
or stirring from time to time. Add two
tablespoons of flour, stir until colored a
stock and stir until thick and smooth
then add one-half of bay leaf, two
cloves, one tablespoon of chopped ham
a sprig Of parsley, a blade of mace and
salt and pepper to taste. Cover closely
and set back where it will just simmer
for two hours; then skim and strain Pour
over the vegetables in the casseroles
enough of this sauce to cover fasten on
the covers with a flour and water paste
and place in a moderate oven for three
quarters of an hour.
Frogs Legs en- Casserole Add little
lemon juice to some boiling water. and
in this scald the frogs legs, dividing
them at the joint if they are very large.
For sauce prepare a white one by
stirring together two tablespoons of but
ter and two tablespoons of flour; when
melted and well mixed add slowly one
pint of milk and stir until thick and
smooth. Season this sauce with salt and
paprika to taste. Peel as many small
button onions as you have casseroles, and
with potato scoop turn out as many
as four raw potato balls for each cas-
serole. Quickly brown the onions in a lit
tie butter, sprinkling over them little
powdered sugar. In each put one or two
frogs legs, according to the size, one Of
the small onions, four potato balls and

bowed himself by, allowing the young
lady to go on her way
That was a little incident which went
along with DuvalI, making his heart
merry But there had been a witness
to the scene, only one. Amos EIderwood

tention was attracted by the girls

mentally soliloquized Elderwood, and he
had about to continue his way when the
rest of the scene transpired.
Well, he could play Skinny, and that's
dead shore fact was Elderwood's
next comment, as the pavement was once
more cleared. Wonder what it was he
hit nohow?"
Mr.. Elderwood set down a pail he was
carrying and made his way to the gate.
A moment later he had crossed the
street to the gutter on the opposite
side. Then the sight of the dead king
snake caused his teeth to grind to-
gether with a cackling sound He
gazed upon the reptiles body mo
ment then returned across the street
Here he stopped. and, gazing first far
down to the right of him at a retreat
ing girlish figure, then far up to the left
Of him at the athletic figure of Duvall
just disappearing in the distance, con-
tinued TO grind his teeth.
Three days later Dempsey Duvan was
served by an officer in due form with a
legal document, setting forth that he,
Dempsy DuvaH, had destroyed a GER
tain king snake, the property Of one
Amos ElderWood, and that the said
Amos Underwood had been damaged
thereby in the sum Of $3.50, which said
sum Denmsy Duvall was called upon to
pay, or to appear before the court and
show cause why he was not liable
Duvall, smiling with amusement, ac-
cepted the service, and the trial was
speedily called. Elderwood had in read1-
ness a statement showing that the king
snake in question was six years of age;
that his chances of life and usefulness
were at least ten years; that he could
destroy an average of six rats per day;
that the destruction of six rats meant
the saving of two bushels of corn; that
two bushels of corn were worth 81; that
81 saved every day~for ten years would
aggregate the sum of s., $50, the amount
claimed, with costs of suit
Among the legal fraternity in the pit
and the business men In the audience
there was some tittering, but the faces OF
the jury-twelve solid citizens selected
from among the LIllerS OF the SOIL, ali OF
whom knew the value of a good king
snake and could appreciate Mr.. Elder
woods fgures-lost none of their serious
ness, and at the end Of the trial promptly
handed in a verdict for the plaintiff.
Dempsy DuvalFs counsel Immediately
entered an appeal and the case was
transferred to the higher court. The de-
PENDANT, though he had no doubt of his
ultimate success, had begun to realize
that It was expensive to kill king snake.
But there was a memory connected with
the cause of the suit that entirely set
aside the thought Of expense, though Du-

Seniors Present "GOOd-Natured MANI
in Acceptable Manner
The senior class of the Central high
school presented the comedy, 1.-THE Good
Natured Man. before a large and en-
thusiastic audience last night in the as
sembly hall of the Central high school.
The cast was competent one on the
whole, and the play was well staged and
correctly costumed. The comedy is full
of action, SO that last night when the
youthful players occasionally fell short
OF Mr.. Goldsmith's ideas the story Itself
suf4clently entertained the audience. Only
once did the curtain fan when it WASH t
scneduled to fall; only two or three times
dld the youthful Thespians forget their
lines; but, best of all, perhaps, there was
not one attack of stage fright Every
body is familiar with the story of '.The

retelling. Suffice to say. that last night
it was told in an interesting way by an
