PROHIB SNAKE DOES TRICKS

Frankfort, Ky.-P F. Manning, gen.
eral manager Of the F. & c. railroad
was coniderably startled upon going
to his office. Stretched out upon his
desk was young black snake, two
or three feet long. While Mr.. Manning
was never addicted to the use Of the
fluid which sometimes makes people
see things, he had to call in the offic-
ials from the other offices to convince
him that what he saw was really a
live snake. In view of the fact that

ton, with no place for a snake to hide
and no means of ingress, the windows
being screened, what is bothering the
occupants of the railroad offices is

got into that Office and upon a desk
made of hard polished wood, stand
ing out from the wall
