Mr.. Andrews garden abounds with
vegetables of luxuriant growth, which
bespeaks skill and thrift. In visiting
his garden one day last week to get a
mess of vegetables for dinner, just to
see if they would taste like home-raised
vegetables, heard the following true
and interesting snake story Mr.. An
drews, only the day before. as he was
wont to do, went to a spring of water
to Stake his thirst. Just as he was
going to drink from the spring huge,
bideous looking snake, with murder in
it's eye, obtruded itself, and instead of
trying to charm it's victim, it immedi-
ately sprung at him, with the intent to
bite him in the face. Fortunately
however, Mr.. Andrews was quick
enough to get out of its way but in
his fright and calculations it is much
to be regretted that he failed to observe
what kind of a snake it was. Now,
whether it was native snake, or a
foreign reptile which had escaped from
menagerie, l am sorry to say the
readers will, like himself, always re-
main in doubt.
