SnakeN ms Article. of Met.

Italians are partial to harmless
snakes and have no objection to eating
them when cooked. A fritura com
posed of the common wood serpent's
flesh is even regarded as a dainty by
the lower orders In Rome, Florence
and Naples and Is often served up to
them In their dingy restaurants. Pari-
slams of the inferior classes are also
great eaters Of fried snakes. but unwit-
tingly so. for the reptiles are palmed
of on them as cells. Thus the appar-
emily appetizing dishes known as mate
lotte d'anguille and anguille la tar
tare are often In low eating houses
nothing but harmless snakes caught in
the wilder part of the vincennes wood
and brought up to special market
near the Place de In Republique. 1t is
probable. however, that even IL the
members of the poorer classes here
who occasionally indulge In fried or
stewed cells were appraised of the fraud
practiced at their expense they would
evince no loathing nor even lack of
appetite. seeing that they are ready to
devour not only horseflesh. but meat of
mule. donkey and dog any day in the

A Feline Accuser.

France. was requested TO inquire into
the circumstances of supposed MUIR

man In that city. In consequence Of
that request he went to the house Of
the woman. where he found her slain.
large white cat was seated on the
cornice of Il cupboard ut the far end Of
the apartment. where it seemed to have
taken refuge. 1t sat motionless, with
Its eyes fixed on the corpse, its attitude
and looks expressing horror and af-
fright The following morning it was
found in the same station and attitude,
and when the room was filled with Of
ficers of justice neither the Gathering
OF the soldiers arms nor the loud con-
versation of the company could in the
least degree divert its attention. AS
soon, however. as the suspected per-

darted into the midst of the apartment,

at them. and then precipitately retreat

him. 1t was the daughter who caught
sight of him first and gave the alarm,
and the father gained the shelter of the
house before he could be come up with.
The sheriff was warned away, and
when he refused to go he was fired on
1t was the girl who sent two or three
bullets whizzing close TO his head, and
in return he lifted his hat and rode off.
The sheriff didn't return to Clinch-
Vile and raise posse to ride back
with him and storm the house. For q
day or two he turned things over in
his mind and said nothing to any one
The more he thought of the matter the
more interested he became I'm Miss Fer
guson. She had fired upon him and
driven him away. but at the same time
he remembered that she biushed as he
looked into her eyes. The result of his
cogitations was that when he next rode
toward Plum creek he was alone. As
he drew near the house the girl showed
at the door with rifle in her hands,
Joe rode forward without drawing rein
and as he dismounted at the door he
carelessly observed:
"Miss Ferguson, l am in trouble, and
am In hopes You will consent to help
me out"

His Duty
AsSber~
By JOHN AN re w S

The people of Brandy county not
only liked Joe Bailey as man among
them. but everybody said he was a
sheriff To be proud of. He showed no
favoritism and was all for duty, and
when a warrant was placed in his
hands II was sure To be served If the
within named had not left the state
or turned up his toes. Brandy county
was comparatively new, and there
were all sorts of critters to be met with
and all sorts of warrants to be served.
1t thus happened that Joe Bailey one
day found himself riding over the prai-
rie toward Plum creek to bring in one
James Ferguson. charged with the
crime OF stealing a COW. The only
thing he knew about the man was that
he was widower, lived in sod house
and had daughter with him.
In due time the sheriff arrived at the
Ferguson claim and dismounted at the
open door. AS he did SO young
woman came out TO see who had ar
