SNAKE SCARED TIE EMPLOYEES
Poisonous Reptile Among the Archives
Of PortugaIs Peers.

Some time ago 1t was reported in
the press that while workmen were
searching for certain documents in
the archives OF the house OF peers sev-
eral snakes appeared from among the
dust-covered volumes.
The panic-stricken employees imme
diately fed, and absolutely refused
TO return to such dangerous occu
patton.
The presence OF the snakes has
never been accounted for.
Recently. however. all the docu
ments were carted 10 the underground
archives of the ministry OF the in,

Recently it was reported in the
press that while the documents were
being sorted out fiat-headed snake
suddenly wrigg!cd out. biting the en-.

among the piles Of documents. Half
an hour later the man died in terrible
agony. The body turned black and
was horribly swollen.

fuse to descend TO the archives.

BUSINESS the Refuge Of Small Souls

Extreme BUSINESS is a symptom of
deficient vitality: while faculty for
idleness implies a catholic appetite
and a strong sense of personal identity.
There are dead-alive. hackneyed peo-
pie about, who are scarcely conscious
of living except in the exercise OF
some conventional occupation. Bring
these fellows into the country or set
them aboard ship. and you will see
how they pine for their desk or their
study They cannot be idle. Their
nature is not generous enough. and
they pass in sort of coma those
hours which are not dedicated to furi-
Gus moiiing in the gold mill When
they do not require to go to the office.
when they are not hungry and have
no mind to drink. the whole breathing
world is a blank to them. This does
not appear to me as being success in
life.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

from Westminster. Nd. published
last Sunday. the sympathies OF The
good people OF iha, town were some
VIA, aroused BY the sight OF man
and his son. the latter youth OF ~
years handcutyed together and going
to the penitentiary. The two had
been convicted OF stealing pigeons. Ehe
boy having confessed his guilt. The
father was sentenced to the peniten'
tiary for a year and a half, and the
boy to punishment for two years at
hard labor. Along with them went
a man convicted OF HOUSEKEEPING and
larceny, who was also sentenced FOR
two years in the penitentiary-th
same term as that OF the youth tor
stealing pigeons. There must have
been some circumstances connec'e"
with this case which were not soii
in the dispatch. 1t is not to be sup
posed that in the absence Of some
other reasons the Court would con-
siGer the larceny Of pigeons. which
many boys regard as some sort or
wild birds and not property. as grave
an offense as housebreaking. In re-
cent years many a man has taken
nI acoonnl with lighter
punishment than that which was visit

never did arrive. Cotton was

There were then no local banks
where men could go and secure

have to go naked for clothes.

RACE TRACK GAMBLING
DOOMED IN LOUISIANA,

One of the most interesting
things accomplished at the pres
ent session of the General AS
sembly was the passing in the
Senate of the Locke bill, by a
vote of q to 10 on Wednesday.
Never, perhaps, since the lot
terieS were driven from the State
was so much pressure brought
to bear upon the members of the
Senate. The bill came from the
House by vote of 81 to 20. In
the early stages of the fight it
was known the result would be
close and this particular measure
held the attention of the public.
Delegations for both sides were
at the capital lobbying for their
interests and when the final vote
was taken the Senate Chamber
was thronged by q crowd of in
terested spectators.
Following is the text of House
Bill No. 90, by Mr.. Locke, of Cal
casieu:
AN act to prohibit gambling
on horse races by the operation
of betting books, French Mutuel
pooling devices, auction pools or
other device, and to provide pen
alties for the violation of the pro-
visions thereof.
BE it enacted by the General
Assembly Of the State of Louisi-
ana, that any person who, either
as agenU, owner, OHlcef Or EN-
ploye, shall in any room, hall,
house, or any inclosure, or upon
any track, path, road or course,
whether within or without an in
closure, in this State engage in
encouraging, promoting, aiding
or assisting in the operation of a
betting book, or a French Mutuel
pooling device, upon any kind of
horse race or races, or in selling
auction pools upon any horse
race, which are hereby declared
to be gambling, or shall by any
