A Dog and Snake Story,

Several days ago gentleman in At
lanta, Ga.,. went out into the country
fowling, taking with him an experienced
pointer. After hunting some time he
observed the dog come to q sudden
stop, and supposing the dog had "stood"
bird, advanced to shoot it. But COM
ing nearer he noticed that the animal
was foaming at the mouth, as If suffer-
ing from an attack of hydrophobia.
Upon closer observation he discovered
that the dog was victim of an enor-
nous snake, which was charming it and
steadily advancing on it's prey. The
dog stood immovable, perfectly trans
fixed. The gentleman spoke to it, but
it gave no heed, SO completely was it
under the influence of the dreadful
charmer. Seeing that the dog was in
the most excruciating agony, the gen
tleman raised the gun and shot the
snake dead. Instantly, and simultane-
GUS with the shot and the death of the
snake, the dog fell down perfectly help
less, and to all appearances dead. 1t
revived after some little time, but had
it not been for some timely assistance
from the master it is believed that the
poor animal would have expired with
the vicious reptile of whose charm it
was the victim. The snake in question
was q blue racer about four or five
feet long, and was killed near Ogle-
thorpe Park.

more painful than the one I am about
to relate. I first became acquainted
with him some fifteen or sixteen years
ago, but he was then in the prime of
life the polished, educated man of the
world was visible in his every act and
address. He had just retired, or had
beenreca]led from the head of a foreign
embassy, having obtained grants
whereby he expected to open inter-
national trade communications advan-
tageous to himself and the United
States. Constantly journeying to
Washington, he expended large sums

of liberal, generous disposition, he
soon made serious inroads into his
available capital. 1t was at this time ]

his wife's diamonds and pearls, which
were of very fine quality. These were
redeemed and liberal interest paid, re-
gardless OF the usury laws. Soon they
returned for q period interest was
promptly paid, then a request for q

made, and 1 became the owner. then
