small log The log was perhaps three fort long and no doubt had lain in the trail for many months writes a Raonuette--taktyle- Y- correspondent TO the Philadelphia 'There's a good piece of firewood Martha: said Higgins as he stood the log in the corner near the fireplace A bright fire was biasing merrily in the great old-fashioned flreplsee The logs crackled brightly and the flames danced and sputtered with glee The great black-bellied kettle that hung over the logs exhaled fragrant odors "Mebbe you'd better put that other log on the Ore Pete" said Mrs Higgins "Guess it ain't dry enough" replied Higgins ec be picked up the log he bad found In the trail and placed it nearer the Are When the Higgina's went to bed the log was still beside the fire Not long afterwards a striped sinuous body wriggled sloitrfrom out the end of the log nearest the lire Then another ugly bead with basiIisklike eyes peered from the log After that suites continned to crawl from the log until more than a dozen were writhing across the floor The door leading to the bed-room of the Higgins'e was partly open and one of the snakes wriggled nimbly through into the next apartment made its way up the bed-port and across the comfortable that covered the sleeping couple The snake did not cease operations until it had crawled to Pete's bosom Meanwhile two ether snakes trawled into the bed-room The

run his oMce on purely business principles and his efforts so far but been Very benelicial to the service One of the strangest friendships that have sprung up in tbe Senate is that between Senator Hoar of Massachusetts and Senator Tillman of South Carolina No one who reads the account sent from Washington would suspect these two senators were at all intimate In fact the Senate itself wonders hoer these two members so diametrically opposed in their theories of atatecraft so totally unlike in their personal demeanor should have ever become friends But such they arc Tillman has a veneration for Senator Boar flit Upossible for the South Carolinian to have veneration for anything or anybody and Hoar in turn truly admires Tillman It is a common saying in the Senate that if the steering committee of either party wants to get Tillman to modify any action the eurest-euses -through-a personal appeal from the Massachusetts Sen For Instance the other day when Senator Tillman introduced a rampant resolution criticising the action of Judge Simonten of South Carolina for the latter decision In the dispensary case and calling for an investigation front the Senate as to the best means of protecting the rights of the state from the interstate commerce law several senators remonstrated and protested against the preamble of the resolution but they were unable to move Senator Tillman to any modification Finally Senator Hoar took the floor and merely made a suggestion am to the best wording of the reeoluHon when the Senate was surprised to hear Senator Tillman announce to the President that be would accept the suggestion from the Senator from Musachusetts as a substitute for hie entire resolution This is but one out of many Instances that have called attention to the relations between this oddly usorted couple It is no uncommon sight to see the two standing In the rear of the chamber with Tillman who I Much the taller resting his arm around Senator Hotr's neck while they converse moat confidential fashion Tillman Is by no means the same Tillman who entered the Senate a little more than two years ago save when be gets up to make a political stmke for the purpose of keepleg In touch with his agricultural umetituents Ms never treseeeside the rules of the Semite and its always perfectly per'lament-try hen addressing the Senate He dresses well rides the Weide and he With Senator Chandler and Bacon can be seen Often after the Senate hours on Connecticut avenues speeding toward the Soldiers' Home When Tillman first entered the Senate every one about the capitol predicted that after his first speech wherein be attacked Mr Cleveland be would retire and be but little board of thereafter in the body Instead of which we find him taking part in nearly every prominent discussion for he keeps thoroughly posted upon what Is going on in the Senate In all be le by no means the unpopular character that he is often represented to be What Tillman may lack In dignity is made up by his new confrere from South Carolina Senator Masurin The latter is a man of no mean mental calibre He entered the House as a totally unknown man made his way up until be reached the Ways and Means Committee where be became one of the most useful mid generally respected members in the more populous branch of Congress He is a remarkably Otte-looking man representing In appearance the old type rather than the new He Is not so acrimonious as Tillman is more connervative and will be ono of the best representatives his state bad bad in the Senate in many years 4 The reports that Speaker Reed's life was placed in Jeopardy by his course in tilt House ha fizzled out It seems that some young hobo about Washington who has been known here for several years as the "boy defective" sent the threatening letter to Mr Reed and at once told a number of friends about what he bad done But the letter was put in the hands of detectives and the matter placed in the local papers beneath great scare lines -There is hardly a man in public life in Washington who has not received similar communications Some unkind people allege that Dalzell Payne and Rendereon and others of Mr keed's personal bodyguard gave out the facts to secure sympathy for their great and good friend and to turn aside the unfavorable comment upon Mr Reed't policy of inaction to the House Mr Reed is said to be very Indignant that these overzealous friends have made him the butt of ridicule People who want to assassinate never send 1 long letters in advance of their intentions One newspaper jocularly inclined has offered however quite another explanation of the anonymous letter It Is that some I of the Republican members who are inclined to rebel against the Speaker's policy but who are too timid and cowardly to do so on the floor have resorted to these threatening letters as a possible means of forcing the Speaker by intimidation into the appoint-I moot of his committees and the launching of general legislation to pursuing this seoret course it is presumed they think it safer than open pretest oil the floor A WHEELBARROWS IN CHINA A thief als'isne of Tined end Tronsport in
