A MISNAMED TRAIN;
fiack woodauian Couldn't Get Anything
that He Wanted.
He had driven from a backwoods
hamlet to the station an after making
an inquiry of the conductor boarded
the train for Philadelphia, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
When well on the way he stopped the
blue-coated otticial and asked in all se
riousness: "I'm sorteV hungry. Will ye tell me
jest where the eatln'car is?"
"There is none on this train," was the
answer. "Its short run does not require
It." .
"Huh!" grunted the questioner..
"Wich of yer keers Is the one that ye"
jest loll around In an' turn and twist
yer cheer any way ye please? Don't
Imagine that because I never went rail
roading afore I don't know all about
these things."
"You probably mean the Pullman.
We haven't any attached."
"Well, bu'stin' squashes! . W'ere's yer
elgar stand, so's I kiu be buyln a weed
an llghtin' up?"
"We don't have such a thing, man."
"An' ye've no place fer me ter git my
shoes sltlncd, ter be sure?"
"No, sir,"
"Course, I'd be crazy ter think ye
might have a barber lad aboard?"
"We haven't any."
The rural gentleman subjected the
conductor to a menacing scrutiny from
head to foot and back again. Then he
drawled out in an angry, disappointed
tone of voice:
"Well, suffcrln' cornincal! I thought
ye said this wuz an npfmniino'latica

MADE LOVE TO 120 GIRLS.
Amazing Record Made by a German
BiituraiHt and Swindler.
Probably the most successful suitor
of modern times Is Alois Fraukenberg,
a Bavarian, who has been sentenced at
Gratz, iu Austria, to spend two years
and a half in prison because he made
love to too many girls and swindled
them out of goodly sums of money. The
son and heir of a wealthy man at
Gratz, he quickly ran through his patri
mony, whereupon he advertised for a
wife Iu several papers. Girls of all
ranks lu society answered his adver
tisement, and, selecting among them
those who jvf re comely and who had
money, he at once promised to marry
them. Gradually he Inveigled their
money from them, and theu he disap
peared, leaving the hapless women to
mourn over his ilcklcncss and his dis
honesty. He was next heard of at Munich,
where he played the same trick and
with equal success on several young
and old widows. To the neighboring
cities he also paid frequent visits, nnd
ever with the same object lu view, the
result being that In a short time he had
accumulated quite a handsome for
tune. Unfortunately he went one day
to Gratz and was there seen by one of
his victims, who promptly had him ar
rested. This modern Don Juan Is himself
authority for the statement that he had
offered his hand and heart to at least
120 maids and widows.

snake story comes from Pleasant Val

were the snake and Miss Cora Legore,
a domestic employed by Frederick O.
Ylngllng, a well-known farmer resid

Miss Legore went to the barn to milk
the cows, as was her customary duty.
She did not return as promptly as usual,
and. becoming uneasy after n time!
Mrs. Ylngllng sent some one to the barn
to look for her. She was found lying
iu a dead faint In a cow stall, and upo
being revived appeared dazed and
frightened. Finally she became suf
ficiently composed to tell the cause of
her unconsciousness. She said that
while milking she felt something mov
ing about her clothing, but supposed It
was a cat, until she felt a constriction
about her waist, and she found herself
looking Into the eyes of a snake which
had wrapped itself about tier, nrnl
roared Its head In front of 'her face.
She was too much frightened to notlc
what sort of a serpent was thus con
fronting her, but striking at it with
her hand, fainted away. When she was
found the snake had disappeared.

grow for seed, provided the seed is
ground and used for stock. It produces
