HORSE FALLS IN ClSTERN
Then Battles with a Water Moccasiu for Life-Rescued by r
 Bremen.

A horse belonging to William Scales of Kansas City, Kan, fell in an unused cistern the other day. The animal was almost submerged, nothing but his head and neck remaining above the water When the hose company from fire head quarters arrived large water moccasin about five feet long had wrapped itself about the horses neck and had bitten the animal several times.
 The snake was an ugly looking reptile and for few moments the firemen hesi- tated about going down in the well. Vol unteers were called for, and some of the men, more venturesome than the rest c,,Gbed down on a ladder and with a large stick killed the snake. The horse was then lifted from the cistern and a veterinary surgeon applied antidotes for the snakes bite. Although the horse suffered considerably from the con- bined effects of the fall and the snake bites, it will recover.

 One of the most enthusiastic members was showing her friends of her owr sex over the establishment, and opened the door of the "pets' room with proper pride.
 There, in the center of the room, on two chairs, sat two immediately clothed young men, grave of face, but with wicked twinkle in their eyes.

EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
Some of Our Larger Cities Have An- nexed Ground Far Into Adja-
 cent Farm Lands.

According to a recently issued census bulletin, the real rank of cities is not al- ways indicated by the order in which they stand in the tables of population Some great centers have considerable part of their massed population lying outside the municipal boundaries. Bos- ton is a good example; about 1,200, ,000 people live in sight of the state house dome. and less than 600. 900 of them are governed by the Boston. mayor. Other cities have annexed far into the farm lands of the adjacent country, says Youths Companion.
 It is customary to speak of the popula- tion of state. "in proportion to its size" Such comparison Is seldom made of cities, although 1t might not be uninteresting. Pittsburg, for example, has population of third of a million on 1S,0O0 acres of ground: New York's population, little more than ten times as great, spreads over nearly 12 times as many acres.
 Chicago was long famous for it's an- nexation habit. but since 1890 New York udS duucAcu MuCu mOI0 L6TEIIOTy CuhU Chicago's total area. New Orleans has a slightly larger area than Chicago. Each of them covers six times the area of Baltimore.
 Washington, which occupies the Mary. land part of the ten miles square set aside for a national capital, is a fair sized city as area goes, for this genera tion. It may seem small century hence, although it looked abundantly ample for all the purposes of urban development when laid out.
 In the case of cities, as we'll as of other corporations, consolidation is plainly one of the tendencies of the times. More than one-third of those in the United States have added to their territory by annexation since 1S90 Townships and counties are occasionally subdivided, by reason of local interests, but the cities seem to be steadily pushing their boun- daries outward There are some eco. homie reasons for this, but the reason n m2cT cases has been the desire of their inhabitants to make a "good show Ing"
