From tho New York Tribune. A driver of a truck was In great dis tress In front of the Judge building Friday because his horse balked cross wise of the street and caused not only a loss of his time, but also blocked traffic. All the usual devices to get the stubborn animal to move were un availing, and a crowd had gathered of considerable size to watch the proceed ings. W. J. Arkell, proprietor of Judge, was attracted to the scene, and he said to his brother Bartlett, who sat In the office: "I will bet $100 to ten cents that I can go out and start that horse In two minutes." Bartlett immediate ly took the bet, the money was placed in the hnnds of the private secretary, W. J. Merrill, and the two Arkolls started for the street. W. J. Arkell picked up two handfuls of sand and asked the driver to hold the horse's head stll). Then he packed each of tho horse's nostrils full of the sand, and almost Instantly the horse began to sneezo nnd start with a rush, to the great delight of tho driver, amid the shouts of the by-standers. Mr. Arkell, tho winner, says he doesn't read the London Lancet for nothing. Gone in No Time. Uncle I don't know about lending you any more money.

FARMER QOODWIN'S MAD TREE A Susquehanna Woman Vetoes Her Husband's Proposed Trip to Klon-diko-'Township Treasurer's Dnnk Account--Jamcs Cow Swings the Crnillo nt ()0--Odds nnd Ends. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Susquehanna, Sept. 7. For the last two weeks n son of Peter Bills, living near the Cascade, has been In the habit of leaving his father's home every morning nt about 9 o'clock and not re turning until noon. The parents of the boy have questioned him ns to where he went, nnd the lad would reply, "To play with a neighboring boy, named Springer." One dny the father watched his non nnd followed at a short dis tance, and when about half a mile from the home entered n piece of thick wood land. In from the turnpike some two hundred yards, where he seated himself upon a largo rock, and In less than ten minutes tho father was horrified on see ing a monster black snake crawl upon the boy's lap. The boy had taken bread with him and was feeding the snake, whlcli at Intervals would stick a large tongue out. as If hissing for more to eat. Then It would coll Itself around the neck and body of the boy and play, with Its neck and mouth, tho boy's hands. Hills had often hcaul of snakes ch'arm Ing children, and that If they were dis turbed while In the net, they would kill the child. As the father turned to leave his boy with his deadly companion, lie turned back, and the snake, healing a noise, at once uncoiled Itself and raised its body nt least four feet from the lock, and looked In nil directions, and then it returned to the boy's lap, and the father returned homo and awaited the boy's return. When told that he had been playing with the snake, the boy said that the first morning that he met tho snake ho liked to piny with It! Then he took it food, and lie wns so much pleased with his companion that something told him he must meet the snake every morning. Ope morning he said he was late, and when he reached the place the snake wasstandlng up.and It came out to meet him, then followed him to the rock. Next day the father and two of his neighbors went to the place of rendezvous with guns, and at the usual time the snake made Its ap pearance, when all fired at once, killing the charmer. When the boy saw his late companion cold in death ho cried bitterly, but soon seemed to be glad that he had been relieved of his strange companionship. IN OLD SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY. The annual reunion of the Byrearson family will be held at the home of Arthur Hyrearson, In Harford, Sept. U. Bauer's famous Scranton band will furnish music at tho Harford fair.

Meetings commenced on Saturday, In charge of Revs. Scovllle and McArthur. James Gow, of Lenox, aged 00 years, has been swinging the cradle In the oat field. He's of the good old stock, now so swiftly passing away. A number of vicinity young men are preparing to go to the Dundaff gold fields. They will start early in the fall, so as to avoid the great winter snow drifts among the mountain passes of Ararat. They will take along a Catling gun to protect them selves against tho Dundafflte mission aries. THE ECCENTRICITIES OF LIFE. Farmer Godwin, of Starrucca, the other day noticed his valuable bird dog uctlng strangely. Securing the dog by a Btout chain to a young tree, he waited to see what would come of it. In less than two hours the dog was raving mud. Ho Hew at the young tree and bit It furiously In a dozen places. Tho dog soon died. In about three weeks the tree went mad. Its limbs waved and threshed about, all the bark fell off and the tree died in horrible agonies. A Susquehanna married woman was quite willing that her husband should go to the Klondike until she read about the Dakota man who Is going to take 300 women out there and auction them off. After that sho vetoed the trip. A township treasurer over In Brad ford county had no faith In banks, so he hid S00 In a Jug in his cellnr. One day he desired to draw on the Jug for $30, but somebody had made a prior draft for $S00 when he was at church. The moral will appear in out next chapter. MATTERS IN BRIEF. Edward F.

Nathan Benedict, of Jackson, occurred on Sunday, from the Lake View F. W, Baptist church. The common council has passed an ordinance for the keeping off bills posted on bill boards, and prohibiting tho throwing or placing of papers on the streets of the borough. Very im portantIf enforced, ODDS AND ENDS. While ten men will cheerfully lay down their lives for a woman, only one will carry her a scuttle of coal, A Lanesboro man who watted to seo how bees worked in tho hlvo can man- age to squeeze a number twelve hat on his head now. A Jackson farmer has nn odd way of protecting his daughters. He rubs their teeth with an onion. A man who has traveled says that it didn't take him long to learn that tho ticket agents In the small stations owned tho railroads, and the clerks the hotels. A Susquehnnna railroad man has a pet turtle. He fed It from his hand a few days ago. A sufficient time has elapsed for tlio turtle to digest tho thumb, and the turtle Is still alive. The year is fading, and no mistake, and yet, ns it fades, there Is beauty in it all that is thoroughly pleasing and enjoyable. What's better than pumpkin pies, spare ribs, Bartlett pears and buckwheat cakes? Let her fade, If sho wants to, let her fade! Seasonable "pome" by an unknown bard: Tho oyster down on his bed of oozo Walked with a itart from his summer tnooze, Opened his shell and said with a yawn, "I fear that our t-eason of safety Is Rone, For my pleasant dreams were disturbed by tho jar That always is caused by the letter H; And I krow by tho keel of that hideous sloop That somo of us will shortly be In tho soup." SOME QUEER ANIMALSl George Fungo, of Rush, has a hen which laid twin eggs a few days ago. The two eggs were attached to each other, a la Siamese twins. Hannah Miles, of Hopbottom, haR a chicken, four months old, thnt has no feathers, except on the wings. Lemuel Snyder, of Ararat, has a na tural curiosity In tlio shape of a pig which came Into the wot Id headless and hairless, but with a horn sticking out from the end of Its neck like the tusk of an Infant rhinocceios. Its feet are like the hoofs of a horse, and there is a lump sticking out from its back, yhieh Is supposed to be the missing head.' The pig has one eye. It lived for a week and was apparently hearty, but Is now preserved in alcohol. RAILROAD ETCHINGS. Monday being Labor Day, the Erie shops were closed. The Erie's mines at Forest City are 'on full time. Chnuncey W. Gardner, years ago n populcr superintendent of the Susque hanna division of the Erie, died on Wednesday last in Bradford, Pa. Engineer A. L. Smith will remove from Susquehanna to Port Jcrvls. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western bhnps In Hnllstead hove been placed on eight hours' time, tlio faame as the Susquehanna shops. The Dolawnie and Hudson surveyors are at woik near Windsor. There is no let-up on tho Erie's big freight traffic. The Erie Is said to be "spotting" some of its passenger conductors. A Susque hanna division conductor recently fell under the ax. CAUGHT EN ROUTE. "There it more pleasure In giving than receiving." This evidently refers to medicine, kicks and advice. A Binglmmton paper states that "Bernard Mat tin, after eating his sup per sat down to read the papor and dropped dead." The paper Is believed lo have been the . A Jackson man took home a freshly painted wagon. Three cows licked tho paint off and died the next day. A Susquehnnna man has a dog twenty-five years old. He was originally a Hound, but he has remained with tho family so long that they call him a tanier. One of our merchants set his um brella against a tree while lie stepped into a saloon to ask a question. AVhen he came out the tree stood there. No one had taken It. The day has gone by when you can chain a grasshopper to an astronomer's telescope and make the star gazers be lieve that they have discovered a now breed of horses in the moon. POSTSCRIPT, AS 'TWERE.
