A young man vas standing ut the
entrance Of m cid mansion which
had at one time been very beauti-
full but which now WAS decayed and
neglected He WAS just ready to
enter when he heard some boys
shouting, Here he comes, Here
comes the man with thesnake in his
bosom" This man, he thought
was evidently the person he wished
to see 40 he waited until he came to
the gate. He saw man ap.
preaching with his hands clasped
across his bosom and walking in a
writhisg motion more like a snake
than human, who when he reached
the gate recognized the young man aud
spoke to him, but when the Young
man said that he had brought mes
sage from Rosina, the other merely
stared at him aud muttering, at
gnaws me, il Cnaws me, quickly
passed up the walk and into the
house Herkimer, the young man
thought there was no use to follow
Just at that time so turned and left
He decided to inquire more fully IN
to the nature and history Of the
strange malady of Roderick Ellis
ton. -Four years previous they had
been friends, but lIerkimer had
gone abroad to study to become a
sculptor and they had driIted apart.
In that time this terrible change had
been wrought in the older man,
Soon after Herkimer had gone
to Italy Ellistons wife left him be-
cause of his greedy and misery
ways going to Italy to join Herki-
mer her cousin.
In his inquiries Herkimer found
that soon after Rosina had gone,
Elliston nei ighbors noticed slight
change in him. He was very
thoughtful and preoccupied. and
rather stunned his fellow creatures
This moroseness increased, until at
length he would never go out of his
house except for short time at
night after the streets were deserted
and dark. 1t was given out that he
had some terrible disease He en-
ployed every quack doctor he could
obtain, each of whom held a diff
erent opinion as to the nature Of
his mslady and all OF whom nearly
killed him in the attempt to cure
the disease
One dav one OF these doctors.
after leaving his patient IN an un-
conscious condition declared that
Ellist1n had had a snake in his bo-
som but that he had rem we'd it.
When Elliston revived and was told
of 1T by his servant he asked what
the town people said. Merely that he
bad had a snake in his breast aud
when the doctor had given him a
certain powder the snake leaped out
upon the floor and disappeared, was
the answer Bot Elllston said that
1t had not gone, he could feel it and
throwing himself down he only cried,
1t gnaws me. and an awful hiss
seemingly coming from his throat con-
iirmed his statement. Now all Of his
former attitude deserted him. He
thrust himself in the society Of the
people, sought pity and liked to
have some one condole with him on
his misfortune Frequently he
would clutch at his breast and cry
out, 1t gnaws me- and sometimes
a hiss could be heard plainly, which
seemed to come from the victims

RALLY ON GOOD SUPPORT

Chlcago, March IA revived ovro,.4 demand and reports of damaga to +ha sowing ? crop by winter killing" helped 'o create a strong tone in the wheat market today At the close prices showed net gains of 7sQssc Corn and oats c,osaa steady and provisions firm.
 wheat bears were full of fight at the opening Of the market, and succeeded in Iorcing prices down materially early in the day. The May delivery declinad h -io"i 'he pest prices registered on initial quotations. There was no especial change m the character of the news. bpt inc weak tone of the market at the close of the previous session encouraged consid- erapie selling for short account After opening at S.13B to S1.141k, May dropped to Sl'lS1s. Al this point the leading bull save the market good support, both in the way ana July options, and prices ad- Vanced again. Sentiment in the pit. how ever, was somewhat mixed during tha nrst half of the day, the continued sla o,, demand for cash wheat by millers being depressing influence Late in the ses- slon damage reports drifted into the pit telilng Of winter killing in Missouri and soutnern Illinois. An improved demand oy exporters for wheat at Winnipeg was also reported. This created strong sit uation in the final hour, and May ad- Vanced to Fl .l5. The market closed strong at the top with May at $115.
 Lower temperatures in the corn belt in- splred great deal of selling in the corn pit early in the day, and as a result the iiarhet was quite weak. Constantly in creaslng stocks, due to a poor cash de- mand, also had weakening effect. Dur Ing the last half of the session the mar ket rallied on buying by leading holders and all of the early loss was regained At the close prices were a shade lower to Ac higher, May being at 6S@6SMc and July at 671ac.
 mere was general selling of oats during the nrst hour of the day, which resulted in sharp decline. The selling was brought out mainly by the weakness of wheat and corn. Some of the larger shorts covered on the early break, and this caused firmer feeling late in the session At the close prices were Mc lower to lsc higher, compared with the previous close. Final quotations on May were at 55ls@55Ac. and on July at 49zc.
 Provisions were strong the greater part Of the day, owing to the buying of Sep- tember lard and ribs by local packer Hog receipts at western packing centers were smaller than expected, and this had strengthening influence The market closed strong, with prices up 71k@1Oc to 20c compared with yesterdays final auota- tions.
