NAVAL BATTALION.

Banquet in Honor of Ex-Commander
 Averill Last Evening.
 A very successful banquet was ten dered Former Commander Frederick L.. Averill, of the naval battalion, by the officers and ex-officers of the battalion at the Tontine Hotel last evening. The gathering, which was entirely informal, was held in token of the high esteem in which he is held by those with whom he has been intimately associated in the organization for number of years. , The invited guests were Adjutant- General Cole, ex-Governor Chamber lain, General E. E. Bradley, Captain Luzerne Ludington of Troop A, and John w. Coe of Meriden.
 The Banquet was in charge of For mer Adjutant F. P. Lewis, Adjutant E. R. Ingraham and Lieutenant James R. Disbrow Music was furnished during tine evening by Fichtl's orchestra. In all there were forty guests present.
 Commander Averill entered the Naval Reserves as seaman ten years ago. He was soon promoted to be ensign and shortly afterwards was made paymas-

weighed upon him. A tiger snake leap | ed from his shoulders to the sofa and went straight for the feeding bottle. At the close of an exciting couple of min utes the members of the household had forgotten their exhaustion and the snake was killed. The storekeeper, in his alarm, made the leap much greater | than it really was. It is likely indeed
 that he stopped toward the sofa. When
 his senses were so dulled that he did
 not feel the reptile crawling on him from the gatepost he was not likely to be much of a judge as to how it got off. Snakes do not--in fact, cannot-exe-
 cute the prodigious jpmps with which they are often credited. | But while it can be held that snakes are friendly to young children, on oc- 1 casions showing what may be called affection from them, they can be charg- ed with harboring untsinted enmity for
 boys and girls of from to 10 years up. The antipathy appears to be mu- tual. The bush chronicles an endless
 war between them. Numbers of boys die of snakebite year by year. When
 the bite is on the finger or toe the
 average bush boy chops the member
 off. It is quite a common thing to find
 two or three of a selector's family
 short of a finger or toe on this account
 It thus happens that devoted friends of childhood become implaceable eni-
 mics later on.

 Although not a headliner in the ad- vertising bills "Le Monarch the big gest snake in captivity, now on eXhi- bftion at the White City, gained the greatest attention on Decoration day. LeMonarch is a giant regal python, measuring thirty feet in length and weighing 300 pounds. He has not as yet had his full growth, but notwithstand- ing that, can stretch across an ordinary city lot and have some snake to spare. He was captured in the rice fields of Java after a. terrible battle.
 Free open air vaudeville is another of the White City features. An excellent bill is on this week. The headliners, the, Barnes duo, with their high trapeze acts and the Rio brothers, direct from the Hippodrone in New York city gain intense admiration for their daring acts. Pongo and Leo, comedy revolv- ing pole artists, prove great card in amusing the visitors.
 A queer little building constructed this year in the White City is called the Myth City, and there is inside al- most everything calculated to drive away dull care. The disabilities are tiekled from the moment you enter the door until you come out. You enter the castle through the mouth of the man in the moon and immediately begin to encounter innumerable startling ludf- crous mechanical effects

cumstances. Minnie, the child previous ly alluded to, was overheard giving something like words of command near the stump of an old ironbark tree a little way from the end of the house. On stealthily approaching I was |thunder-struck. I beckoned to other members of the family to tip-toe to
 me. It was no optical illusion. There
 in real fact, was green whip snake dancing before the child.
 The inference was, of course, that it was the clergyman's whip snake. Its
 motions were most grotesque, it's head loling from side to side and occasional
 ly shooting straight up. It evidently danced for the entertainment of the child, and responded with alacrity to her words. The spell was broken by the incautions movement of one of our Fparty; but though the snake made off | it was pursued and despatched.
 It is right I should complete this somewhat astonishing narrative by ad- ding that the clergyman on his next visit complained of having been made the victim of practical joke on the pISNIOuS OcCdSIDll. IHe nOCel people had placed in his saddle bag show mans performing snake, not at all dangerous, and altogether too valuable for the fate that befell it.
 But when a snake is pleased or de- sires to please it displays, even in it's wild state. gyrations which may be de- scribed as dancing. I have seen them |semi-erect, bobbing heads and moving |protruding tongues with a near ap- proach to waltz time. They are very
 fond of going partners with infants in the contents of feeding bottles. While snake and infant take turn about at
 bottle the former will bob and curtsey
 as assiduously as pouting pigeon.
 A storekeeper who had private cot
 tage adjoining his store closed his
 garden gate about Il o'clock at night
 and returned to the sitting room. It
 had been burning hot all day and every
 one was exhausted. He says he was a.
 ware of some weight pressing on his
 shoulders, but was too tired to think
 about it. On sofa under the window
 lay a child with the tube of a feeding,
 bottle between it's lips The storekeeper soon realized what

SNAKES FOND OF CHILDREN,

 l have found that children in the
 bush show very little fear of snakes.
 The bigger the snake the greater the joy of getting near it and the stronger the desire to play with it. The snake's , bright eyes and sinuous motion pro- bably charm. And snakes, even the
 most vicious, respect the confidence, says Chambers Journal. I have known numbers of cases in which they return lit with what must be called affection. A snake that will wiggle away from an Iadult will placidly survey 8 child and wait for encouragement to approach. Here is an instance to my hand. We
 all knew there was snake in the house. Glimpses of it had been caught on three separate occasions. but it was
 too swift in getting under cover. Bush houses in Australia are roughly put together, and odds and ends of various ! sorts are filtered about, with occasion-

WAITING FOR THE END.
Green Polleeman's Naive Explanation
TO His Chief


There was appointed to the police
force Of Pawtucket about dozen
years ago well-known German resi-
dent At that time there was no pa
troll signal or telephone system, and
officers on their beats were obliged
to communicate with police headquar-
tiers by telephone at the nearest drug
store.
Bright and early one Monday morn
ing the new German policeman report
ed for duty and was assigned TO the
Pleasant View district He had hard
ly mastered the English language. and
when he got excited the language was
broken into small pieces.
Along toward noon the oficer was
called to a house on his beat where
man had committed suicide by hang
ing. He viewed the suspended body,
and was as much frightened as any Of
those who had gathered. One Of the
woman neighbors expressed the belief
that the man was probably not dead.
and It would be good idea to "cut
him down" as she expressed It.
The new police officer. by this time
thoroughly ratified. ran from the house
and sought the nearest drug store.
where he got into communication by
telephone with the police station. The
chief answered the call. and after
learning what the officer had seen. In
Qu!red, Have you cut the man down."
No. he ain't dead yet" answered
the excited voice at the other end OF
the line.
