Throttles Snake Up A Tree.

Rural Mail Carrier Seitz is the
aero of thrilling adventure with a
dve-foot blacksnake. He was upon
his route on road near Springvale,
this county, when his attention was
attracted by the frightened cries of
TWO catbirds in a low tree, and he
stopped to see what the trouble was.
A short climb brought him in
view of an immense blacksnake, with
Its head poised close to a nest occu-
pied by several young birds
Seitz had not time to climb down
again for stick or a stone, but
bravely seized the snake by the neck,
and its thrashing about almost caus-
ed him to fall; but he carried it to
the ground, and brought it home
alive. If he fails to make pet of it
he will have a snakeskin belt instead.

SAMUEL LEFF'S THRILLING ES-
 CAPE FROM RUSSIA.
Fugitive Arrives Safe in New York City, Thanks to Effort of Brave Woman Who Planned Daring
 Flight.

New York-"The cunning and vigi- lance of the Russian soldiers who guard the prisoners in the Siberian mines may be 14-karat, but they | couldn't outwit the shrewdness of a little woman who aided me to escape | imprisonment there-a little woman who is now my wife and will join me | here"
 Samuel Jeff, A years old, now stop ping on East One Hundred and Third street, thus started the story of his thrilling escape to a reporter. T was a student of chemistry and engineering in college at Barastow," he said. Nearly all the students there had witnessed outrages commit ted by the czars Cossacks. Jewish women and children were shot down in the street. There was no thought of l liberty or even of common humanity among those soldiers, and many of us harbored resentment against them.
 One day, when the soldiers had aimed their guns at a group of women and children, I sprang forward and
 
 be fired. l was promptly arrested and thrown into a dirty hole which the officials genially called a cell
 Then I was sent to Siberia. That was in 1906.
 Miss Mary Rittinger was accus- toned to bring food to the political prisoners, of whom I was one Mary and I fo11 in 1ova Tho o,,arde did not know this. Mary was too shrewd for them. She matched out plot with student friend of mine, also prisoner, whereby one night we stealthily got over the wall of the prison and got some distance away.
 "We were caught-that student friend and myself-and my friend was shot by the guards. I was taken back to prison and tortured 1 will not at tempt to describe how those soldiers treated me. Just look at me, l guess that'll be enough evidence"
 The scars and emaciated appearance of the man seemed to bear out his statement
 Mary and I were married just after my first unsuccessful attempt to gain liberty. We were married quietly. She also was arrested, and luckily sent to the same part of Siberia where the Russians sent me
 One day we were sent to pick wood in forest. We had horses to carry the wood. When the guards were not on the alert we rode away on the ani- mals and finally arrived at town 300 miles distant, where we had friends.
 On that awful trip, through snow, slush, water and mud, we nearly starved My wife and I had to go without food. We reached Minsk, where we met revolutionists who heard our story and cared for us. Then my wife and I separated, she taking different route, but bound for New York, where l also have friends. My wife reached Austria, I learned, after an exciting rush across from Minsk.
 "On the boat which bore me to this country there were two Russian spies. 1 knew them. They knew me But also knew that under the American flag l was safe-and here I am"
