THE JAP AND THE SNAKE.

One day when Miss Hyde was en-
Pertaining some friends in the gar
den OF her Nikko home, some of her
guests espied a large snake, and
frightened, called out for it to be
killed. Uchiama was summoned to
dispatch it. Taking the serpent in
his hand and looking about quickly
to assure himself he was not seen,
he threw it into the air, and an
nounced to the company that he did
not know where it had gone. The
snake was soon discovered wriggling
on the topsof camellia bush where
it had landed, and Uchiama was
commanded to do away with it i'm
mediately. Providing himself with
a long bamboo pole, he poked at the
snake, which soon wrapped itself
about the end of it. Uchiama, hold
ing the pole far from him, at the
end of which the snake stuck out its
tongue venomously, thus addressed
it:
"Snake San, will let you off this
time but if you come again, like a
potato all the same as, into little
pieces | will kill you. Chop! Chopv'
and so saying, threw it into the
river.-The Housekeeper.

POLLY WAS suNkERED.

a golf ball into nest his ancient

found herself unrewarded. At last
parrot flesh could stand it no longer.
A terrible screeching brought her
owner downstairs at three o'clock
one morning.
What's the matter, Polly?" he
asked, as he noticed the birds beak
was clipped trying to get at the
eggs interior.

NAlaE ON ROLL OF HONOR
Why Millionaire Insists on Uncle Sam
Continuing to Pay Him PEN
sion Not Needed.

1t is stated in the dispatches that
among the applicants for service
.pensions are no less than a score of
millionaires, who desire to get on
the rolls because they will derive
honor from official recognition of
their services in war. One of these
wealthy applicants, it appears, is so
rich that ''there are not 20 men in
the country who can measure for
tunes with him." His daily benefac-
tons are said to be more than ten
times as much as he will receive each
month in pension money under the
law. Yet he has written to Commits
sioner Warner that if the pension is
granted to him he will hand it down
to his descendants with more salts
faction and pride than any of his
worldly possessions" 1t is perfect
'ly clear that the sum of $144 year
which this millionaire veteran will
receive has no value to him except
by reason Of the associations con-
nected with it. He has no possible
need of it, but simply desires the
pension certificate as souvenir. In
such cases, where the payment OF
$12 a month pension seems to be
farcical, the government and the
multimillionaire soldier ought to be
able to make an agreement honor
able alike to both. The service pen
sioner ought to have his name on the
roll of honor and should receive his
pension certificate. That will estab.
lish his record as a soldier who was
granted an honorable discharge after
service conscientiously performed
As for the money, it might be turned
back into the treasury Of the United
States or dedicated to philanthropie
uses.

ZIG GAME DISAPPEARING.

Big game is game marked for de-
struction where the government does
not intervene. Lions are all but ex-
terminated in Asia. They are a
remnant in India like the buffalo of
America. Their African cousins are
no longer found in wide districts
where they were common not long
ago. The elephont is passing like
the giraffe. The rhinoceros is Gu
riosity where it was once easy to find
and unafraid. The largest bears in
the world are perishing on kadiak

He stopped abruptly and turned
away from me, lest l should read the
pain IN his face. He walked to the
window and stood looking out. I
wished there was something 1 could

not, so l went out of the room and

ORAYMEN PLAN TO
REPAIR STREETS

George Renner. manager OF the Dray-
mems Association, severely criticized the
street-grabbing tactics of the United
Railroads in an address that he made
at the meeting Of team owners and
commercial men at East and Clay
streets yesterday.
What damage the fire and earth
quake did not do the streets Of this
city he said. the United Railroads
has completed"
An association was formed at tho
meeting 10 look after the repair of the
streets where teaming is heavy. II will
be known as the Street Repair Associa-
ton of San Francisco.
J. Pagan OF the Stable and Carriage
Owners Association asked Renner. who
was acting as chairman. what Rssur-
ance he had that il citizens went to the
expense Of fixing the streets. the United
Railroads would not tear them up.
None whatever" replied Renner.
THE street and steam railroads have
taken over every street that they
wanted. On Berry street for several
blocks tracks have been laid. The ba-
salt blocks. worth $50 a thousand, were
carried away and no one knows where
they are. The railroads control all the
streets and fear nothing.
"Sansome and Kearny streets are
ruined. as are Golden Gate avenue and
Market street. Only Third street,
which is paved with basait blocks, is
as good a thoroughfare as before the
FIRE" Renner added that the Dray-
mems Association had given up all hope
of obtaining relief from the city Off
Gals.
A W. Scott Jr. was elected chairman
OF the repair association and Andrew
Carrigan secretary. An executive COM
mittee will be appointed. which will
work in conjunction with the chairman
TO bring about the necessary improve
ments.
The organization will endeavor to
raise a sufficient amount Of money TO
put certain streets of the city in con-
dition for teaming. The city authori-
ties will be asked to give their assist
ance in the work. 1t is believed that if
$4,000 is raised a great amount of good
can be done. The thoroughfares which
the organization will endeavor to re-
pair are Bryant street, from Third 10
Eighth: Howard street, from East 10
Eighth; Mission street, from East to
Second; Fifth and Eighth. from Market
to Townsend; Drumm and Front
streets; Sacramento and Jackson
streets. from East to Montgomery
street.
The condition Of the streets works
great hardship on horses and as a re
suit they are dying at startling rate.
Matthew McCurrie. secretary of the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
10 Animals, said that the society's am
bulance before the fire carted away an
average of nine horses a day. Since
traffic had been resumed in San Fran
cisco, he said, the figure had increased
to thirty.

DUFFEY WOULD PURCHASE
BITUMINIZING PLANT
Works Board President Thinks City
VIII Effect Saving by Repairing
It's Own Streets

President Duffey of the Board of
Public Works said yesterday that he
would appeal to the Supervisors
finance committee to allow him $4,000
with which to purchase illuminating
plant so the city could do the work
Of repairing streets on its own account.
Duffey said that 1t had cost $780, 600
yearly to have the work done by con-
tract, and this had proven unsatisfac-
tory. Duffey thought the plant could
be maintained for about $4,000 yearly
and the many bad streets now existing
be put in good condition.
Replying to the charge of George
Renner of the Draymen's Association
that his board had 100000 to repair
streets and that nothing had been done
in that connection, Commissioner OF
Works Eagan stated that the sum
named was the entire appropriation
for all expenses and that work had
been done TO the extent of the money
available. Even then the board in
tended to put Howard and Mission
streets in shape so teams could use
them, Eagan said.
