A snake story.

An upright Indianian, on returning
home from visit 20 the home Of his
fathers and moIhefs in Kentucky, says
he saw II snakes about the size Of a
lead pencil playing ON smooth bit Of
sandbar at the mouth Of a run that
cmpties into Bromwell's Creek near his
farm. They were gamboling on the
sand after the fashion Of limbs or kit
tens. Sometimes they would wrap
themselves into bali as large as his
two fists and 60 rolling around
until II would tumble into the water,
and then the little wigglers would I'M
wrap themselves and scamper out onto
tho land again. Three Of them were
killed by being squeezed to death In the
balls, and finally they got 10 fighting,
whercupon their mother, who was lying
on log watching their sport, camo down
and stopped the row. When he went
near where she was TO get better look
ut the young racers, the mother opened
her mouth, and they all rushed down
her throat, and she chased him home.
