A Rattlpsnake JOke,

One day last week four or five Detroit
ers went into Macomb county to shoot
SQUIRRELS and kick their Sims against logs
and fence rails. They had just eaten a
cold lunch in the woods one noon, when
one of the party a young man named
Dougherty, stretched out on his back,
pulled his hat over his eyes and gave his
mind up to the work of assisting his
body to catch little rest. The remain
der of the party, having an understand
ing beforehand, quietly withdrew one by
one. One of them passed around to a
bush near Dougherty's leet and took a
tin rattle-box from his pocket, Another
stood close to the young mans legs, and
in suppressed voice, when the signal
was given, whispered:
"For Heavens sake Dougherty, don't
move so much as finger! A big rattle
snake is right under your leg"
Dougherty was fiat on his back, eyes
covered, arms sprawled out, and his voice
trembled as he replied:
"My Godl what shall / dor
"Keep perfectly quiet! 1t is your only
hope! If you even raise a finger he Will
dart his fangs into you"
The man with the rattle-box gave it a
shake, and reached out and laid club
across Dougherty's legs, whild the other
man moved of about twenty feet and ex-
claimed
"Heavens! what can we do? If we
shoot we may kin Dougherty2"
The club was rolled off on the ground
and the victim whispered:
"For mercy sake, kill i'll
The club was rolled over his legs
again, the box shaken, and the man
whispered back:
BE quiet or it is instant death! |
think the snake wants to 90 to sleep, and
if you will keep still You will be all
right"
The box was shaken, the club moved
around, and finally the "snake seemed
10 Dougherty to settle down on his
breast. He dared not whisper for fear
of rousing it. but one of the men called
out:
There, it is asleep! Wen move
away and wait for it to glide off
The whole crowd moved over behind a
hank, and laughed and rolled and tore up
the dirt until they were exhausted, while
poor Dougherty lay there like log, not
even daring to draw an ordinary breath.
The sweat ran down his face and started
out from his body until his shirt was
wringing wet. The fellows took their
guns and tramped away, leaving him
thus, and were gone an hour and half.
When they returned Dougherty was sit
ting up, having discovered the joke about
five minutes previously. He didt have
a word to say, but there was whole un-
abridged dictionary in his eye. They
spoke to him, but for an answer he rose
up, shouldered his gun and made bee
line for the highway, and none of the
party has met him s;nce.-DetroH Free

PERHAPS the most perfect form OF Sc
rene contentment known upon the planet
is that developed by the Todss, people
who inhabit the plateau Of the Nilghlrl
Hills. They live IN small communities
of from twenty to thirty persons. Their
life is purely pastoral, and their sole de-
pendence is upon the buffalo. They do
not practice agriculture at all, simply
cultivate their dairies, which are held
to be sacred, and keep the buffalo and
the cat as tame animals. They neither
fight with their neighbors no. among
themselves. Two men in every village
do the dirty work; the rest, nothing.
Having no politics to discuss, the elder
stosdsE sit on rail fence or under tree
All day and brood; the younger branches
probably stand on their heads, or follow
after the other toadies. They are hne-
looking race, and having more men than
women, the creed Of Brigham Young is
reversed, and one woman has many hus-
bands.
