PLEASING CANTATA.
St. Marks Choir Renders ''Peni-
 tcnce, Pardon and Peace.''

St. Marks Episcopal church choir sang the devotional cantata, ''Peni- tence, Pardon and Peace," by J. H. Maunder last evening before an ap- prec1ative congregation which filled the church. The boys of the choir deserve especial credit for good work under the understanding leadership of Organist Humphreys in this their hrst ambitious attempt in the line of church music of the highest duality. , The work of F. s. Penfeld and G. B. Lucas, to whom fell the baritone solos, and James Martin, tenor, was noteworthy They rendered the diff ficult passages of the work with fine quality of tone and musical accuracy which was the feature of the can tata. Their performances were all the more rema rka ble because of the fact that their roles as soloists were assumed on three days notice owing to the sudden regretta ble illness of Ralph Britton and Leon Jackson who had been studying the cantata for some time and from whom much was expected.

SNAKES CAUSE FALL IN DRIFT.
Two Connecticut Men Bring Back
 Proof of Strange Experience.

Winsted, Conn, March 29.--Bert Atwood and Ralph Moultprop left here yesterday to inspect the brook near Spencer Hill preparatory to a trout fishing trip which they intend to take Thursday. Snow drifts that reached to their hips were encounter ed as they crossed the meadows and they had a difficult time making progress.
 About halfway to the brook Bert fell. In helping him to his feet Ralph discovered that two snakes had caused the accident by entwining themselves around his boots. These reptiles evidently had been driven from beneath the river stones and had taken refuge in the drifts. Both were brought back as proof of the story in case friends doubted the de- tail, as has been known to happen in these parts.
