one which makes all previous SenSa-

made their debut into Boston day or
two ago, when he registered at one OF

air holes bored in the top and sides.
The porters peeked into the holes,

they We're not able to fathom the mys-

After he had his trunks settled to
his satisfaction the professor started
out to locate his new farm. He visited
Cambridge first. but that didn't suit
him; it was not exclusive enough for
his class of snakes. Next he sought
out Brookline, and after two or three
real estate agencies had been visited
Professor Walcott has secured an OPP
tion on it.
Town Clerk e. A. McEttrick was
pursuing the even tenor of his way,
booking the marriages and deaths and
other statistics OF the wealthest town

the door flew open and in blew the

more fully his plan. He told the clerk
that he had for years been in the

ness is made of raising snakes for the
purpose of supplying the large colleges
with virus, snake oils. as well as the
snakes themselves for experimental

POLICEMEN IN ATLANTA
ARREST AN OLD GRAY MULE

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 6.-Since Pa
trolmen Bradley and McWilliams ar
rested an old mule for insisting on ac-
companying them on their rounds, they
dodge every time they hear hoofbeaI
after midnight. While they were walk
ing mn and down Decatur street the d.
lapidated creature followed them for
three hours. Just before they reached
the Kin1ball house the mule stole up
behind them and with a chuckling sort
of bray licked Patrolman Bradley be-
hind his left ear.
''By Jove!'' cried that officer-but be-
fore he could use his club the queer old
traveller had switched his tail and was
blinking behind trash can on the op-
posite side of the street.
McWilliams tried a shop door. 1t
was locked. No sooner had he turned
away than the mule ambled UP, butted
at the same door and then Joined the
men, walking leisurely behind them.
They couldn't get rid of him.
Once they ran ahead and lodged into
an alley and hid themselves behind a
pile of boxes. Pretty soon, however,
along came the mule. shifting the air,
and when he found them this time he
brayed as IL he would shake his bones
out with laughter.
Things were growing IIncannily myS-
terious with this weteyed plough puller
whose every rib stared sharp and stark
through his dilapidated hide. Was he
the reincarnated spirit of some police
man long dead? Neither of the officers
is a theosophist, but they know that
strange things are possible in this
world. especially at 2 O'Clock in the
morning
At length, after the animal had
hunted them two hours and initiated
their every action, they enticed him
into the station pound. where vagrant
horses are locked up.
