Snake Disturbed Diners.

At dinner time recently at a famous
Berlin restaurant the place was
crowded. when suddenly a six-foot
snake dropped quietly, apparently
from nowhere. into the center of one
of the largest tables. Ladies screamed
men shouted, and chairs were
overturned by the flying crowds. The
snake alone remained unmoved, lying
perfectly -obliviOus of the cOmmotion
which it had created. Finally a wait.
er holder than the rest approached
cautiously. others followed, and soon
it was evident that the reptile was
sound asleep. The reptile belonged
to q Snowman who had a room on the
floor above. 1t had escaped through
4 hole. and curled itself around the
chandelier of the restaurant. The
smoke of SO many cigars stupefied it.
with the result that 1t fell. The snake
was captured without being awakened,
and returned to the Snowman.
