The Following is From the Arizona
Copper Camp.

When you see Henry Lehman, one
of the Ray news boys in the street
with a bundle of papers under one
arm, and the hand OF the other arm
closed, look out for snakes. or if
he has papers under both arms, don't
be surprised to see snakes poking
their heads out Of his trousers peck
ct. Henry is snake charmer.
Though but nine years old. those
who know Master Henry's propensity
for snakes look for serpents heads
protruding from his pockets or ex-
tending out from between his fingers
when they meet him.
Usually the snakes carried about on
his person are of the non-p poisonous
kind. but when Master Henry goes
afield for a fresh supply Of snakes.
poisonous and all are gathered alike.
The other day he brought in a good
specimen of the RATHER. Asked how
he captured such reptile he replied:
oh. they won't hurt you. You just

jump and catch them by the head

Henry keeps a number of his pets
around home on Hercules Hill He
gives them their freedom to crawl
around in the yard and under the
floor or steps but usually knows
where to find his snakes. He Occas-
iOnally takes them to the creek and
turns them loose in the water for
a feast on fish. 1t is Henry's delight
to see his sister at home go in the
air to get over a snake or make
circles to get around

stances were suspected, but their &C.
tual!ty had not been allowed to trans
pire. Haldane kept in constant touch
with Liffey the boss; but no one, save
the inner circle, suspected that the
two were hand in glove together.
Haldane did not often meet with
anyone but Liffey. In this instance,
however, he at least appreciated the
gravity of the situation, and had di.
rected Liffey to bring with him those
whose advice would naturally be
sought OBJ such subjects as he desired
to discuss. He had also assembled two
of the directors OF the Gotham Freight
Traction company, TO wit, Van Slyke
and Mcdonald, men associated with
him upon whose judgment and ability
he could rely. In addition to them
Came Liney. grand chief Of the Sa-
chem society and the acknowledged
and u~ndisputed boss of the party;
Connell, the chief of police; Ruther-
ford, the district attorney; Habber-
ley, the street commissioner; and last
and also least, Hon. Peter d. Warren,
mayor Of the city.
Lifey, as leader Of the Great
Sachem society, controlled the or.
ganization absolutely. The chief Of
police welded the vast powers for
graft OF that remarkable organization.

hands all criminal prosecutions must
pass, was the safety valve of both

the promptings of common sense some
OF her madnesses seem delightfully."-
effective. For instance. a wedding
frock lately made for a bride-elect
had a train in two distinct points, and
one of these longer than the other!
The train was cut up in a V in the
back, the two side pieces were then
gathered and trimmed each with a big
fat rosette. Yet funny as it was, this
was most pleasing, though the idea
is not one likely to be followed by
many brides.
Occasionally, a bride decides upon
a one-pieCe frock for travelling, and
though the choice is by no ean
popular such costumes go best with
the dashing long coats which are so
useful for the honeymoon trip, and
which look so we'll on many slim
young figures.
One such travelling frock was made
after the design illustrated which de-
picts a dress Of novelty wool in blue
and black, trimmed with a bit of old
red velvet and buttons covered with
the same.
The tucked bodice of this costume
Is very pretty and youthful and the
rear view Of the style shows how cas-
lily a high guimpe and longer under
sleeves will transform it into a prim
street effect. But II made high II
would be we'll to have the stock ad-
Unstable, for the collarless effect is
somewhat nor dressy for the train
or boat dinners, when a little fixing
up is in order and it Is not possible
to change the costume.
The jabot frill Of the bodice is Of
cream embroidered batiste, and the
skirt model with It's narrow front and
back panel is one used as much for
the house as for the street. Indeed.
the pretty model is adapted to a num-
Der OF little frocks in various mate
rails, and II the bride marries late in
October, there is still time to pick
up useful bargains in pretty summer
materials. All of the darker foulards
and thin silks and the cotton and wool
yeilings in pale or quiet colors would
develop charming house gowns in this
style.

Padding Embroidery.

Where heavy padding is desired I'M
der embroidery, try using little wads
Of raw cotton instead of filling in the
padded space with many, many
stitches of darning thread.
To pad a scallop, catch up a bit
of raw cotton In your fingers and roll
1t between the thumb and forefnger
until it is the length of the scallop,
thick in the center but tapering TO a
mere thread at each end. Lay this
on the scallop and with a few stitches
catch to the material. Embroider over
it in the usual way.
Flowers have their petals padded by
making little c~ushion-like wads Of
cotton and catching them down to
the material, well inside Of the work
ing line, with ordinary sewing cotton.
Coindots and ribbon designs are
treated accordingly.

Now, Of course. everyone OF those
present had read Gormly's startling
announcement of his candidacy. Most
" them had read them with amuse.
ment; only the most president with
any feeling OF alarm, and even that
feeling was not sufficiently deep to
have awakened any special degree OF
anxiety. Yet the fact that each one
had been summoned to Haldane's
house, the politicians through Liffey
and the financiers through Haldane
himself, rather startled them.
The eight men assembled In the
spacious library of the Fifth Avenue
house. The curtains were discreetly
drawn. The men had arrived singly
and at different times. They were
admitted b. Haldane's confidential
secretary in pereon. Cigars and
liquors were provided, and the eight
from all sorts of differing social ranks,
mingled freely together on terms OF
absolute equality.
The district attorney. for instance,
was a graduate Of Yale. Haldane him,
self had come from Harvard. The
mayor was a product OF Columbia,
Liffey had started in as q poor Irish
immigrant. The chief OF police had
been a saloonkeeper and finally the
colonel Of a National Guard regiment
Mcdonald was a Scotsman whose
shrewdness and ability had won him
a high position among the financial
magnates. Van Slyke belonged to an
old Dutch family and had inherited

had at his disposal more appointments
than all the rest of the administration
put together, used them primarily for
the good OF the party and after that
for cleaning the streets.
The mayor, the ostensible head but
really the servant of the quartet, was
there because Of his Office. and he was
In office because he could be con-
trolled. From the point OF view OF
the men present, he was the best
mayor that New York had ever
had. He was a man OF some parts.
He could make a brilliant speech. pre-
side gracefully and with dignity at
public meetings, and was altogether
an admirable figure to head a great
city in everything but morals.
Associated with these four intensely
practical men and this plant, willing
figurehead were the interests repre-
scented by the Gotham Freight Trac-
ton company, Of which Haldane was
In absolute control, although the presi.
dency was vested in another man. Tie
interests Of Haldane and his assoc
ciates were not confined to the
Gotham Freight Traction company.
They had their hands on every public
franchise. Their private affairs, of
course. were vast and multiform; but
