Snake Tale.

SNAKE Iales
Says the lawyer: animals sometimes
very nearly approach reason in their Gun.
ming" ,
@I got interested in the stu ~ of ser.
pents down in Arkansas, w.v :, spent
the most Of last year. I;don't know. why,
but l was constantly atching them and
testingitheir sagacity, by placing them in
new situations. and surrounding them with
novel expedients. Of all kinds expert
mentcd most with ra,tlesnakes and copper
heads.
"Onc afternoon seated myself on a lit
tie knoll in the woods to smoke and read
for always had book or newspaper with
me-nnd had been enjoying myself for
some time, when I cspied copperhcad
making for a hole within ten feet of where
sat. Ofcourse threw down INV book
and cigar, and proceeded 10 trya new OK
pertinent. AS soon as | stirred the rascal
madca rusl, for the hole ). but caught his
tail as he.gat nearly ifTA:,nd jcrEed, him
some twenty feet. backward. lie threw
ll'mseIfinto a coil in no timo, and waited
Tor me to pitch ih:!. But concluded to
let him try his hole again. -
After awhile he started for-it, stopping
when stirred to coil himself up but as |
kept pretty quiet he recovered confidence
and again went in. Again jerked linn
out. No sooner did he hit the ground
than he made a grand rush for the, hole in
a straight line for my legs =! But that
didn't work, for got ont OF the way. and
gave him another tlirt ;.
This time he lay still awhile, appearing
TO reflect on the course TO be taken. All:
ter time he tried it again, though rather
slowly. After getting his heal little
way in, lie stopped and wigglcd his tail
as if on purpose for me to grab it. L did
so and quicker than flash hc drew lis
head out and came within about quar-
ter Of an inch ofstriking me i'll tho face.
However, jerked him q,Iite%1a distance,
and resolved to look out next time. Well.
he tried the same game again, but. it
wouldn't work. was too quick for him.
This time he lay in coli fllalf an hour
without, striking. Atlast, however, he
triedft once more. lie advanced. to with
in five feet of the hole very slowly, coiletl
again. and then, by Mhvens got the start
Of me by one Of tho cutest tricks you eve,
heard OF.
.'llow was it 2" we all exclaimed, In one
breath.
"Why, said'tllo narrator, sinking his voice
to the acme Of solcmnity, and looking as
honest and as sober rs n man should look,
"wlly he Just turned his head toward my
hand, and went down that hole tail: first !"
