That snake story of the Chattanooga
Times, in which it is related that a CON-
pany of black snakes came out of log
heap and persisted in attending the funer-
al of young man who died of delirium
tremens, was altogether too mildly drawn
What's the use of spelling good snake
story for the sake of a literal sticking to
facts like that? Why not say that those
elderly snakes which "stood erect on their
tails" "uttering kissing, mournful sound"
just took hold and led the singing, beating
the time and pronouncing the words dis
tinctly. And instead of merely stating
that these same snakes viewed the re-
mains as complacently as would human
beings" why not say that they wrung
their hands, and tore their hair, and del
uged whole bolts of cambria handkerchiefs
in the weeping, and then fell too and low
cred the coffin and filled up the grave?
