Moles.

In large corndeld on the farm Of
Josiah Sack are two tame pine snakes.
one measuring seven feet in Yength and
four inches through the thickest part,
and the other six and one-half feet
long and nearly as thick. Sack handles
the reptiles as he would pet cat. anG
even children are able to fondle them.
reports the Philadelphia Record. 2
The reptiles live on toads, ~mice and
moles, and thereby rid the farm Of its
greatest pests. During the day and
evening the snakes may be seen bur
rowing beneath the ground searching
for moles. They are not in the. least
dangerous and show no fear when they

But perhaps there Is yet . chanoa
to save it," thought Miriam, as once
more came to her mind that friend
Of mankind and wOmankind, the much.
abused and misunderstood telephone.
She would try to get Frank at his Of
flce. and II by any chance he had
not received the letter, or had not read
1t, il he had received it, she would
make him promise to return it with
out reading. But she realized that the
hope was faint one, as there Was
almost no chance that the letter had
not been received: and IL he had re-
him leave a letter Of hers unopened
for more than q minute!
And so this contradictory woman
went to the telephone with q weak
voice and faint heart, hoping againat
hope that Frank had been away from
the office, and that the letter had ar
rived in his absence. The reply 10
her inquiry for Mr.. Webster gave her
momentary comfort, as she was told
that he was out: but when she asked
further questions she learned that h.
had been in the Office until few min
utes before the time of her telephone
call. AS she hung up the receiver,
Miriam said to herself, with a sad
smile, that she wished she could hang
herself as easily.
The next half-hour was one of the
most miserable that the girl had ever
spent. She again read her lovers
letter; but instead of finding any COM
fort for her troubles, the reading only
added to her misery.
"He thought me so modest and wom-
anly, and contrasted my conduct with
that of others who were not 80 mod

that he has read my letter? Modest
girls don't propose to men, even If
the men haven't nerve enough to pro-
pose themselves"
Miriam was still in most unhappy
frame Of mind when her brother re-
turned at night from business. He
had shame-faced look as he ap-
preached her.

to come on, and we got outside the
