Too Many Snake Bites.

During the hay season an honest old
farmer out on the Gratiot road employ
ed three young men from the city to
help cut and store his timothy. None
of them liked work half as well as
whiskey.
fell down in the field, shouting and
kicking, and the other two ran to the
farmer with wild eyes and called out
that their companion had been bitten by
a rattlesnake and must have whiskey.
The farmer rushed to the house and
brought out quart, and the three
harvesters got big drink all around on
the sly, while the " bitten" one had to
lay off half day.
The next forenoon second one was
bitten, and again the farmer rushed for
his bottle. 1t was nice little job for
the boys, and on the third day the third
put in his claim for bite and yelled for
the whiskey. The farmer took the mat
ter very coolly this time, and after MAX
ing particular inquiries of the bite, the
sensation, and so forth, he slowly con-
tinued:
Day before yesterday James was
bitten and drank a quart of good whisk-
ey. Yesterday John was bitten and
drank quart more. To-day you've got
a bite, and the best thing you can do is
to smell their breaths and lay in the
shade while the rest of US eat dinnerl"
The man got well in ten minutes, and
not another rattlesnake was seen during
the season.

A Race For II.

Alexander Sample brought suit for
divorce in Jefiersonville, Ind, and dur
ing its progress an order was issued by
the Court restraining him from disturb
ing Mrs. Samples possession of the
family residence. Seeing that he would
lose if the case went to trial, his counsel
moved for discontinuance, and thus
the proceedings were ended, including
the order about the property. A race
for home ensued between the husband
and wife, each desiring to get there first
and shut out the other. She was on
horseback and he was in light wagon
drawn by two horses. The distance was
eight miles. Mrs. Sample gained lead
of over two miles, but was then thrown
by her horse, which she was unable to
mount unaided. Mr.. Sample passed
her, and had taken possession of the
house when she arrived. She tried to
enter the premises, but gave up the con-
test after being thrice thrown over the
door-yard fence.
