a Battle Of Snakes.

On u bare spot of this western wide.
ness, says the Seymour CreSset, Of Bay
lor County, Texas, lay coiled a great
rattlesnake warming. Little dreamed
ne that q mortal enemy was on his trail
But the eyewitness we quote saw the
king Of golfers and of shadows, in his
bright black garb, slowly approach.
The assailant was small, not thicker
than thumb nor longer than a short
yard-stick He glided along, now rails
ing his glittering head and darting fire
from his eyes. Stealthily he moved on
the trail toward the great rattlesnake.
Between them was a small log, an old
fallen tree; Just beyond it lay the rattler.
When the little warrior came to this log
he raised nearly half his body from the
ground, standing on his tail, as fiery
stallion rears before he strikes power
full blow with his forehoofs. When il
beheld the spotted enemy il emitted q
terrific hiss, and rs flash of lightning
il sped to the side of the rattlesnake
Now came contest between science
and skill on one side and strength and
deadly venom on the other. The little
snake, with a skill and knowledge of
its foe, did not strike home at the first
bound. The startled rattler coiled and
sounded the alarm. The assailant spun
round and round with his fatal little
eyes darting balcful fire into the eyes
OF its opponent, and MS it completed
each circle sought a chance for II sure
and deadly blow. But the other made
the inner and shorter whirl with its head
and neck to evade the same, and to
strike crushing blow itself, with its
great fangs glittering, and all the while
the terrific rattles played deadly music.
Finally the rattler raised and struck,
but its fangs were lodged by the expert
assailant, and they bit the earth, while
the scienced little reptile as quickly
closed and struck its teeth into the back
of the rattler's neck. And now the
scene became terrific beyond descrip-
ton. The great snake turned and
twisted with widely-distcnded mouth.
emitting a horrid noise as the tumult Of
the rattling and the death struggle in
creased. For Il time, the RATHER kept
his coils as closely together as possible
to prevent the next crushing move OF
its antagonist, and in vain effort TO
twist and shake of the little black enc
my, amid short blows But with skin
that surpasses human comprehension
the assailant kept its little body clear Of
It's poisonous fangs and kept its hold
firmly. In despair the rattler raised his
head as if summoning all his energies
for final effort, and in the twinkling
of an eye, as Il whip-lash twincs around
a trace, the king Of snakes had coiled
himself around therattler and, tighten
ing the grasp with a startling power,
crushed the monster in a second When
the breathless head of the rattler had
fallen to the earth the little victor slow
ly uncoiled himself, and making sure
that the victim was dead, loosened its
hold, and, having snuiied the air of VIC
tory, darted of to other fields OF con
quest.

American aristocraey, is unknown TO
the brawny-armed settlers. They are
all on level, frank and open in their
hospitality, quick with their assistance,

ers, and give little countenance to clubs,
less to scandal, and least TO patronage.
The latter they have way of resenting,

one OF the parties concerned.
Emphatically the Northwest is not the
place for the dude. nor for any other
species of idling fool. Yet he is tres

bers. As fast as one returns, another
takes his place.
In England it is said that the army

ideas is so rank in the East, that rich

The Prepared Card.

Joe Howard, the journalist. was com
ing home from Boston on one of the big
Sound steamers, the other night. when
he was surprised to be taken in hand by
three-card monte man. He carefully
concealed his knowledge of such wick
edness, and listened calmly TO the gam-
bier, who put it in tn way: "Now.
sir, this is swindle, and frankly tell
you so. Here are three cards. One Is
a jack, and the rest are spotted. | Law
them face downward. thus; and what /
offer to bet is that you can't pick out
the jack.
''But the odds would be against me, {"
said Howard
"Then I'll bet you fifty dollars to
twenty-five dollars" said the gambler
All this time he was laying and re-
laying the three cards in row, taking
care to bend the corner of the lack in
the usual manner, as though bv acci-
dent, SO as, to make Howard believe
that the right card could be identified
Well, having placed them finally, with
the bent card seemingly the jack, while
of course it wasn't, he said: 'There
they are / will not touch them again.
You think you know which is the lack.
but I'll bet you two to one YOU don't
Here's my twenty-five dollars.
"Too small an operation, said How
ard, lazily.
MAKE it any sum you please. Say
$500 to $3.50"
BY this time a group of interested
passengers had gathered round the two
men.
''All right" said Howard, as he
counted out $3.50 from his wallet and
laid the money down.
''And there's my $780," said the
gambler, putting ten $50 bills on
the pile; s'understand, sir, that if you
pick out the jack, at once irving, the
money is yours, and if you fail, the
money is mine'
Exactly so, was the response.
The spectators thought, What a
fool, and expected TO see Howard pick
up the bent card. So did the gambler.
But he didn't. He was perfectly famil-
lar with the trick. and therefore was
aware that, by avoiding the bent card,
the chances were even that he would
hit the jack. His luck proved good.
He turned over the jack.
