North Carolina furnishes the latest
snake story. In that State is reptile
known as the joint snake. When at
tackled in flies in pieces, each piece
taking care of itself. A darky who at ).
tackled one the other day was amazed to
see it break up and fly off in different
directions. An hour later he returned
that way, when he was astonished to
see it all together again except tho tail
piece. In . few minutes he saw that
section coming up to join the body,
taking sharp, quick little jrrks. 1t
came nearer and nearer until within a
few inches of the three-quarter snake,
when il gave sudden jump and hitched
on in its proper place with fuss re-
sembling the popping Of cap. The
darkey knocked it to pieces sewers
times, and each time it came together
again. He carried his amusement too
far, however, in throwing the tail part
Of the snake across the creek, just to
see, he said, show long it would take
to catch up, but it never caught up.
The snake, with the three joints, was
carried to the house, where new tail
is beginning to grow to replace the los,
one. A gentleman who knows much
