HERE Is LIMIT OF HARD LUCK,
How Mans Reputation for Truthful
ness Was Injured In Family Circle.

j. A. Pease, the chief Liberal whip,
related at the dinner given to him by
the Eighty club that during an all
night sitting of the house of commons
a certain member was, as he thought,
absent. The gentleman was really
present at every division, but he was
snatching sleep at intervals in one of
the recesses of the house.
Mr.. Pease, however, not having no.
t1ced him in the division lobby, sent a
telegram to his house at seven o'clock
IN the morning, saying: Come down
at once and relieve the guard and
those at work all night"
The member turned up at his own
house at eight o'clock in the morning
and expected to find warm welcome
from his wife and family and a good
deal of sympathy for having been In
the house all night.
But his wife's greeting was: %Vhere
have you been?" He replied: 'I have
been at the house at an all night sit
ting"
Now, it's no use telling me lies"
said the good lady, and she produced
from under her pillow Mr.. Pease's tele-
gram.-London Evening Standard.

SNAKES A GENERAL NUISANCE,
Pennsylvania Farmers Seem Greatly
Bothered by the Reptiles.

George Burhen, who is building a
new house for himself on a part of his
fathers farm on German Hill, went to
refill water jug the other day that
had been left in the shade, when he
luckily espied huge RATHER AZ inches
long and carrying 13 rattles, coiled
ready for fight about the jug. George
lost no time in killing the reptile and
has preserved the skin and rattles to
verify his statement.
Two young sons of George Copeland
went snake hunting at a den near
their fathers home, on Little Hickory
creek, one day recently and killed an
even dozen Of rattlers before they
gave up the battle.
Henry Amburger of Hunters Station
has been missing eggs from the nest
In his chicken coop, even a china egg
disappearing. He suspected rats or
other small animals, but the other day
when he found dead blacksnake
eight feet long nearby, with a china
egg lodged in it's stomach, the great
mystery was solved.-Tionesta Vindi-

CHILDREN PUT CHICK 20 BED.
"Fluffy" the Pet Of Two Youngsters
Out in Oregon.

Fluffy is a chick that made it's ap-
pearance at the home of Gerald and
Ellen Ryan, little son and daughter
Of Joseph A. Ryan, 365 East Thirty
fourth street, last Easter Sunday,
since which time it has become q fam
ly pet. 1t was Il present from a friend
With the children especially Fluffy
is on excellent terms, and enjoys it's
chickenship immensely throughout the
livelong day. When the evening shad-
ows fall Fluffy wanders up to the
house and casts longing glances at
Gerald and Ellen. Then they know
what to do, for it's certain bedtime
has arrived and their pet wants to re-
tire. 1t waits until taken in charge by
the tots, who tenderly carry it to the
basement and carefully set it down in
its nice, comfortable box, where it re-
mains throughout the long, silent
watches Of the night.
Last week Fluffy undertook a big
job-to fly from the attic window to
the chimney-and nearly frightened
Ellen and Gerald into fits. After alight-
ing on the chimney the chick was
afraid, at first, TO attempt to reach the
ground, and Gerald was about to fetch
ladder, when Fluffy screwed up suf1-
cient courage to make the daring leap,
and the situation was relieved.-Port-

Telephone Full of Germs.

There is movement among health
authorities to do something to arouse
the public to the danger from the tele-
phone, the disk being collector Of
germs to some extent. Telephones
should be washed with soap and water
and kept as clean as possible, good
disinfeo;ant also being necessary. The
telephone companies should keep pub.
lie instruments and the booths in a
clean condition. 1t is suggested that
the telephone be not held to the mouth,
but against the breast when talking
and another precaution is to place
paper or linen over the transmitter.

TELLS OF SIBERIAN HORRORS.
Sufferer Describes Asonies Endured In
Russian Penal Settlement.

Horrid is the picture of existence in
the penal colonies Of northern Siberia
given in book just published in Ger
many by l.. Tame, who returned to life
after burial of eight and a half years
In the living grave of Kolymsk. In
that time, he says, he saw one after
another Of his fellows succumb to sui
eide, hunger and insanity. They were
all young men and all were sent away
for terms ranging from five to ten
years for political offenses.
The trip to Kolymsk takes 16
months. II was 20 years old" he says,
when l was convicted for harboring
liberal convictions. In our party were
a 16-year-old boy and another year
younger. All told we were SO politi-
GALS" The writer describes the ag-
onies OF hunger which the deported
"pol1ticals" had to endure. Mail was
received three times year. '...
s Il shall never forget one mail day"
he says. I'm Is months a certain one
or our number had not heard from
home. This mail brought him a letter.
1t was last greeting written in an
uncertain hand by his mother on her
deathbed. In desperation he did what
so many Of our party had done before
him, and which. others did after we
had laid him away"

BEING LOOKED AFTER.
The Police Has Their Eyes on Sup
posed Yeggemen.

For several days some suspicious
strangers have been noticed loofing
in and about the suburbs of the city.
1t is said these men, who are suppos-
ed to be bank thieves, have their
headquarters at the coal shute just
across the Edisto r liver on the At
lantic Coast Line Railway, Mayor
Dukes and an officer visited this place
Sunday, but found no trace of the
men. 1t was reported that these men
hung around the coal shute during
the dav, but come in the city at night
for the purpose of robbery it is sup
posed.
The gang is said to be composed
of three white men and negro, and
that they were seen going up the
railroad towards Denmark Monday
morning. The police are> looking
after these supposed thieves, and if
they attempt to operate in this city
1t is likely they will get in trouble.
1t is claimed that they were heard to
say that they intended to rob the
Peoples bank. This is an unlikely
story. as men engaged in robbing
banks generally keep their secrets.
These men are supposed to be the
thieves who attempted to enter the
county dispensary warehouse and who
was fired at by the watchman: This is
n more likely story than the ohe
about robbing the Peoples Rark.
They are also credited with holr:nC
up and Iobbing two negroes on Sn.n"-
day night. Whatver the business of
these strangers, the police should
see that they give an account of
themselves.
