d Audubon, the great naturalist, was on the
lookout for red-headed wood -peckers and was
very anxious to obtain a specimen. Seeing
one fly into a hole in the tree long way up,
he pulled off his coat and climbed with that
energy that never failed him Putting and
sweating, he reached it at last, and putting
in his hand to seize the bird, to his utter dis
may snake stuck his head out OF the hole
pected and frightful, that Audubon let 60 his
hold and tumbled to the ground more dead
than alive. His companion came running
to him, and seeing that the naturalist was
not hurt but was dreadfully alarmed, said to
him

before him and two small bottles of claret

glasses are placed on the table. The old
gentleman Systematically then proceeds to
finish his dinner and his wine, and his man

him to be regarded with unusual curiosity by
