CATALOGUE FREE. The Foolishness Has Begun. The Foolishness Has Begun. A novel wager on the result of the coming election was made in St. Augustine, Fla., a few days ago. The parties to the agreement are an ex-mayor and a real estate agent. In case of Cleveland's election the ex-mayor is to push the real estate agent in a wheelbarrow on the sea wall from the fort to Central basin, and in case of Harrison's election the real estate agent is to do likewise to the ex-mayor. The date of the performance will be fixed so as to allow the throngs of visitors next winter to witness it. The two gentlemen are to be attached by a rope, so that in case of a mishap if one goes over the wall the other must follow—Chicago Herald. Burned His Barn to Kill a Snake. Burned his barn to kill a snake. Some time ago, when Choulet's managerie passed through Crawford county, a boa constrictor of medium size escaped from its cage. As time passed the incident was forgotten. Early on Wednesday J. D. Doolittle entered his barn and saw the monster in the hayloft. Doolittle had lost several shoats, of which he could find no clew. Their disappearance was explained by the presence of the snake. Seeing the reptile Mr. Doolittle retreated, and after releasing his horses from the barn he applied a match and burned the structure and contents to the ground. The mow was fall of new hay. After the fire had spent its force the ribs of the reptile were found in the ashes, and they were nearly as large as the ribs of a 100-pound hog. Mr. Doolittle says that he feels worse from the effect which the snake's vicious eyes had upon him than he does over the loss of his barn and contents. The contents of the barn were the principal loss, as the structure was an old one and was soon to be replaced.-Milwaukee Wisconsin.
