Anarchists Indignant.
The home of the Mother Earth, the
anarchist magazine at 210 East Thir-
lteenth street, five flights up and back,
was deserted except for Hippolyte Ha-
Ivel. Mr.. Havel is the long-haired
friend, through thick and thin, of
Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman,
king of HoboeS" Reitman Sadakichi
Hartman and others composing a snug
lcoterie of the real thing in anarchists.
Mr.. Havel was at home, but not at
ease. Near richly bound edition of

What Believe
Asked what he thought of the battle
in London between the band of alleged
anarchists and regiment of police,
Mr.. Havel tugged at his shaggy jet
name with his pale fingers and became
lost in thought
! Finally Mr.. Havel's jet eye flashed.

"You think that under such circum-

''It's like any other man, Democrat

Mongoose on the Job.
Curator Ditn1ars of the Bronx
geological park was watching the in
mates of the reptile house the other
: day, when from behind the unwieldy
shell of the giant Galapagos turtle he
saw a poisonous snake of the mecca
sin species glide into the turtle inclo-
sure. Mr.. Ditmars closed the door
quickly and went in search of Head
: Keeper Charles Snyder.
! An investigation showed that the
snake had escaped in the night from

was danger for the keepers so long
as it was at large.
'It would be a good time to try the
/ skill of the Indian mongoose." said
: the curator.
Keeper Snyder left the room and
returned a moment later with cage
containing one of the weazellike ami

2 the scent of the snake even before its
cage was put on the ground, for it be-
came almost frantic in its efforts to
get out. When the cage door swung
