The other Fellows Job.

There's craze among us mortals that
is cruel hard to names
Wheresoe err you find human you VIII
md the case the same;
You may seek among the worst OF men
or seek among the best,
And you'll find that every person is pre-
cisely like the rest.
Each believes that his real calling is
along some other line
Than the one at which he's working
: take, for instance, yours and
mine;
From the meanest 'me-too'' creature to
the leader of the mob,
There's universal craving for the
other fellows job"
There are millions of positions in the
busy world to-day,
Each drudge to him who holds it, but
to him who doesn't, play;
Every farmers broken-hearted that in
youth he missed his call,
While that same unhappy farmer Is the
envy of us all.
Any task you care to mention seems a
vastly better lot
Than the one especial something which
You happen to have got.
There's but one sure way to smother
envy's heartache and her sob:
Keep too busy, at your own, to want
the other fellows job"

A SNAKES BUSY DAY.
A Big Boa Escaped, Captured Meal
and Returned to sleep.

A Big Boa Escaped, Captured Meal
and Returned to Sleep.
The boa which is causing SO much
trouble to Capt Dickson Of the Yank-
kee brigantine Daisy, got loose early
yesterday morning, and, as a result,
two watchmen in South Brooklyn are
mourning the loss of two faithful flea
bitten ours. Ever since Capt Dickson
Gagged the boa in his coal locker, the
snake has been trying to smash the
door. He would coil up as far from the
door as he could get and then leap with
all the force of his 20 feet of steel
muscled energy. The door was rein
forced but some time after midnight he
battered it so that it swung only on the
upper hinge. Then the snake glided out
through the space at the bottom.
Toward 1870 o'clock Tom Walsh, one
of the watchmen, heard his dog fairly
screaming In agony. Walsh's dog is one
of the flea ridden 'yaller variety, but
he has been faithful companion for
nearly nine years, and Walsh thought
a great deal of him. He rushed to his
dogs rescue, andto his horror saw a
huge snake wrapped closely around
him. His ardor abated somewhat, but
he hunted up a companion, and armed
with crowbars, they advanced on the
boa. The snake abandoned his prey and
placed himself in a posture of defence.
The men were on the brink of the
wharf, while the snake and the dog
were close to a shed some 20 feet from
them.

APHIIlpnLpnIA NEcrsaIrr

Ice is both luxury and necessity
to some. So it is not surprising that
a Philadelphia judge has just decided
that it is necessity. The Philadelphia
Sabbath association has attempted to
prohibit the sale of ice on Sunday I'M
der the ancient law of 1894. The magis-
trate before whom the action was
brought fined dealer for such sale.
The dealer appealed. Now Judge Au-
denried, on appeal, reverses the deci-
sion in an opinion holding that ice Is
one Of the necessities of life. not a
luxury. as it was 10 years ago. A lux
ury, once INDUCED in, said this judge,
becomes necessity; and the argument
adduced that the delivery of ice on
Sunday cannot be a necessary work.
because if every family were to have
refrigerators they could lay in sufficient
ice on Saturday to last over Sunday,
falls before the fact that not every
family does have facilities for keep
ing ice. The actual conditions are what
rule. ITO insist on that argument"
says Judge Audenried. would be on a
par with requiring the shutting off on
Sunday Of the water supply, on the
ground that everybody might keep in
his house a tank large enough to hold
IAN the water required for household
use over Sunday"
So fade the old-fashioned notions and
so fades the old-fashioned Sunday, Diff
ferent times, different ways.

Suddenly thesnake shot straight for
ward at Walsh. The man was on the
alert, and as the boa leaped forward, he
fell on mis- face without delay. The boa,
missing his mark went more than two
thirds his length over the edge of the
pier, and then got a purchase with his
tail in a crack in the flooring. Before
he could utilize his hold to get back the
two crowbars were brought down
Sharply on the tail and the snake
plunged overheard. The two men saw
him swim away in the darkness, his
head two or three feet above the water.
but did not care to follow him.

About two hours later slight com
motion was heard at the end of the
next pier. The Waterman there, James
Elson, whistled for his dog, put no dog
appeared. He went TO the end Of the
pier where he knew the dog had been,
and found only Shiny trail, and some
deep scratches that had been made
apparently by the claws of his dog. He
did not know what had become of the
cur, until later in the morning when
he compared notes with Walsh. and the
fate of the cur became apparent.
About O'Clock Capt. Dickson went
on deck. To his mingled horror and joy
he found that the door Of the locker
was partly open. He did not wait to
make a further Investigation, but
jumped into the forward rigging and
went aloft. He stayed there for a while
and then cautiously slid down a say to
the roof of the coal locker. Peering
cautiously through small peephole,
he saw the boa, eurled up on the coal.
asleep, and with a much increased
girth amidships, making the last rest
ing place of Elson's dog. The captain
thought it a good chance, since the
snake was asleep from its gorging, to
capture him, but as he approached the
door, he heard, or thought he heard,
the snake move. He then skipped aloft
once more, gave the snake another
chance to get quit, and descending,
braced and nailed up the door until no
thing less than artillery could disloge
it. Today he expects that the snake
will be sound asleep after its feast In
anticipation of this. he has borrowed
shotgun and he thinks that the fate of
the snake is already sealed. Walsh and
Elson have both applied to act as
executioner. New York Tribune.

REMARRABEF.

This year hasn't been as good year
for the railroads as some, but the Rail-
way Age calls attention to the remark
able fact that in the first six months
of 1904 no railroad in the United States
has gone into the hands Of receiver.
While two or three minor companies
have passed their dividends, out of near
" 1890 operating and subsidiary roads
only six, representing but about three
hundred miles Of line, have defaulted
in their interest or otherwise confessed
insolvency thus far in 1904. Another
fact noted is that only twenty railroads,
with less than a thousand miles Of line.
not one-half of one per cent. of the
mileage in the country, are at the pres
ent time in the hands of receivers. One
of the reasons for this strong showing
is found in the absorption Of many of
the weaker companies by the larger
roads. The consolidation that has been
going on in railroads has played no
small part in keeping the small and
weaker roads out Of financial difficult
ties,
While the railroads are keeping out
of receivers hands many who have
speculated in their Securities have
not been so lucky. But ais well that
ends well, and there will be another
boom sometime when it will be as easy
to get rich as it has lately been to get
poor.

Ia TIE poor INpIAN AearN.

The Cherokees are not pleased. The
Cherokee nation contains an area Of
A, 420,070 acres. The average allotment
there is ITO acres, and the number of
citizens entitled to an allotment about
40, 600, If the entire area could be allot-
ted the division would be about an even
break, but much Of it has been segre-.
gated for mineral purposes. Since the
nation was first opened to allotment its
citizens have been paying dearly for
the former liberality of its early gov
,ernment in admitting to citizenship the
designing whites, who intermarried
there. This was first felt, and very
roughly too, when the extent of the
average allotment was limited to ITO
acres, while allottees in none of the
other nations received less than 100
acres. and in some the value of an av-
erage $40 acres. Then, when later there
were tribal funds to the again distrib-
.uted, the white citizen again, in some
cases, came in for his share. And now,
if the nations revenues must be invad-
led to make good a deficiency of allotta-
BILE lands. the evil will be traced to the
same original sin.
The Cherokees a few years ago began
Ia fight against certain class of whites,
and at the present time the rights of
about two thousand are tied up in the
courts, but it is believed that the fight
was begun too late, When the llumer-
GUS treaties with. the Cherokee nation
were formed it was assumed that there
would be land enough for all entitled to
allotrnents, although it was realized

The meanest thief has appeared In
Missouri. In Rockport in that State a
few days ago a man appeared at a
house and asked the woman who an
swered the door If she would be SO good
as to sew a couple of buttons on his
trousers. The woman was an obliging
creature and told him she would. The
man went into bedroom, removed his
trousers, and handed them out to the
woman through the partly opened door.
When the sewing job was done the wo-
man handed the mans trousers back to
him, the bedroom door being partly
opened as before, and having resumed
his raiment, the stranger went on his
way rejoicing. A short time later the
woman found that while she was acting

wayfarer was rewarding her by rum
maging through her house and stealing

The talk is that the New York Cen
trail company is having several big
electric locomotives constructed on
plans prepared by a commission OF
railroad and electrical experts. These
machines will weigh nearly 10000
pounds each, and will possess an indi-
Gated horsepower of from 1900 to
$500, or considerably more than the big
steam locomotives which haul the COM
pany's fast express trains. It is UNDER
stood that while these huge electric
motors will be available for any SER
vice on any part Of the Centrals sys-
tenn, they will be used at first on the
Hudson River division, and presumably
in hauling express trains, for they will
have possible speed of seventy-fve
miles an hour.
