said the trainer. "He does that as reg

"We drive four stakes in a square,
and fasten ropes with pulleys to each

One Snake Swallows Another.

Colonel Bob Gillian has in a glass
fronted box five large sharks, two black
and three rattlesna4ies. None of them
have had their fangs removed, but all are
as dangerous as when captured. The
largest is over five feet long and has
thirteen rattles. They were all captured
by Mr. Vine Sandford on his farm in
Greene county.
Not long since Mr.. Gillian had very
large king snake in his box, and, obtain
ing black snake, he put the two in the
box and watched for the result. For
several days the king snake would eat
nothing that was given him, and only
watched the black. Finally, one day,
sounds and desperate struggle attracted
those in the store where the reptiles
were kept, and it was seen that the
king snake had the blacks head in its
mouth, and was endeavoring to swallow
him. The two fought writhing and
lashing their tails for an hour, when the
black snake was dead, The king snake
was three weeks in swallowing the black,
and for six weeks after he had completed
this he ate nothing Athens GA Ban

work must wipe it out. 81 have not
the strength, she murmured, appalled,.
But, nevertheless, she tried. And any
one who has called upon brain alter
nate fire and lead knows what the effort
was. Never before had Francis shown
such interest in her work. He was in to
see it in the morning, and gave it its last
/ look at twilight. What a devoted
brother he isn his wife said to her
crony.
81 never knew piece of yours hang

how it has none of your old snap. 1t is

reserves, Melicent, if you want to win
that prize"
"You really must, " said James.
If you want to win the prize" said
Ben.
Poor Melicent! She looked at her work,
and realized what they meant. The foun-
tain was exhausted; the sparkling flow
had ceased; they were drawing now the
dregs. the very lees of life. And why
should she call up her reserves2
why should she win the prize2 why
should she not slip away and let some
body else work now2 What reward had
she for all her work? Not even the
consciousness of doing right, for her
sense of right and wrong had always
been conflicting, and never left her at
ease since the second time her husband
had demanded her return. And rs for
living for the sake of such home as she
had, was it worth the while? And if her

thoughts swept through her Suddenly
a little flash, creeping light, a crackle,
flame. She had held the candle too
near. The work was ruined. She did
not care for the work; but it was hard
work; there was no time for more; it
was her last chance; and thousand
sharp, heart-burning thoughts darted
into the air like sparks, and then with
ering flash seemed to surround and blast
her.
They found her lying on the floor, the
candle eXtinguished as she had fallen.
