KILKENNY CATS OUTDoNE. the vii
lage of K, West Virginia, lives an
old man, known as Uncle Paul, noted for
his eccentricities and fondness Of Natural
History. Quite q crowd bad collected al
the post. Office waiting anxiously for the
war news. Uncle Paul entertained the
crowd by telling the old cat story~how
they fought till nothing was left Of them
but the tips of their tails, etc. A rough
looking specimen Of humanity from the
country seemed to drink in every word
the old man said about the cats; and then
to be even, remarked, "Why, Uncle Paul,
that's pretty good cat story, but it is
nothing to what l saw yesterday. l was
coming down the mountain. and saw near
q little brook a water.snake trying to
swallow 4 toad" "All right; nothing
strange about that" replied Uncle Paul.
Just read Natural History, and it will
tell you water-snakes live on Aoads."-
''Yes may be it WILL" says the country
man "but you see the snake, when l
first saw. it, had the toAd's bind leg in his
mouth, and the toad squirmed around un-
til be got the snakes tail in his mouth !;
and in less than minute they had swal.
lowed each other, and you couldn't see a
sign of either of theml" all enjoyed the
yarn but Uncle Paul, who left for home,
saying it was lie, and that there was
nothing in Natural History like it.
