Joefs Snake-Bite.

A wealthy Missouri settler had a ser
want named Joe, a big, burly fellow.
who was large enough to be brave, but
who had the heart of q chicken. He
was SO easily scared that he never stop
ped to look when any thing startled
him, but turned and ran like frighten-
ed deer. One day he went out on the
cliff a short distance from the house,
with a hunter named Bradish, who was
an old friend of the family, to pick rasp-
berries. While thus engaged his COM
panion heard doleful howl, and saw
Joe tumble down in the grass.

What's the matter?' shouted Brad
ish.

to the spot and STOPPING to examine the
mans leg. Pulling away his hands, and
stripping the stocking down, small
bleeding puncture over the ankle-bone
was seen.

Cant you see to get home, where

Bradish, with twitch of mischief round
his mouth.
Joe was on his feet in q second, and
started off on run.
''Put some hartshorn on the bitew
shouted Bradish after him. and turning
back to the raspberry bushes, he began
carefully to search after the snake.
When he had satisfied himself, he
walked to the house. Joe was on the
floor, grooming and praying, and his
masters wife was in a great worry
about him. She had attended to his
wants, so far as whisky and hartshorn
could meet them, and his leg was band
aged till it looked as big as his body,
but joe still insisted that he should die.
''Where IS the painP" inquired Brad

coward leaped to his feet and tore the
bandages from his leg. By this time
the whole household had run into the
room to see what was the matter, and
seeing Joe dancing a jig all over the

kept near the door. In few moments,
however. Bradish explained the cause
of the uproar and Joe's frantic dancing,
and they fairly laughed the fellow out
of doors.

Tbav Exueoted Him TO Paw for the Saw.

1t was in the cabinetmaker' shop,
and party OF strangers were looking
at the different labor-saving devices.
One gentleman, very short-sighted, had
tarried at the bench across the room.
He was examining circular saw that
was whirling its teeth with lightning
like rapidity. Absorbedly interested in
the piece of mechanism, his face drew
nearer and nearer to the cruel teeth
tearing round and round with remorse-
less energy. At this instant his friends
turn about They see his danger. Inev-
itably the gap grows smaller and
smaller. Spell bound they are unable
to utter sound. They cannot endure
to see their friend torn and lacerated.
Instinctively they shut their eyes. Then
comes the awful jar of the collision.
There is whirling sound and crash!
A shudder runs through them all. The
mex: instant they hear the voice OF the
cabinet-maker- '.Of course you viii
pay for that saw, sir!' Their friend had
escaped uniniured, But the saw was
shattered. 1t had struck his cheek. He
was commercial traveller.

A Sad Death.

Mrs. Alice Banister, wife of DR..
j. NJ. Banister, of the United States
army, died at the residence of her
father, DR. R. G. p. White, in this
city on last Monday afternoon, after
a lingering illness. 1t is peculiarly
distressing that one so yoang and
beautiful should be called away so
prematurely. As Miss Alice White,
she was known and loved universally
in Pulaski for her amiable tender
ness and fascinating vivacity. The
young husband has the sympathy
of community that loved her.
The hearts of the doting parents lie
buried in the grave of their only
daughter. There is no consolation
for such grief outside o that re
vealed from above. May they have
a full measure of Gods plying love
to sustain them in this severest trial.
The burial took place Tuesday after
noon, with services at the Presby
terrain church at 4:30 o'clock by
Rev. d. l.. Wilson.
