Did Not Think of 1t.

This story is told on Judge Tracy, II
we remember correctly, when he was a
Judge some forty years ago: While on
the circuit, going from court to court.
his trace broke. The Judge spent over
half hour trying to mend it, but to no
purpose. His patience was exhausted,
and he was using some pretty strong
expletives not fit for Sunday-school
children to hear. A negro came along,
and the Judge told him of his trouble.
The negro let out the trace, cut hole
in it, and the job was done. ., ,.f
'.Why the dickens" said the Judge,
..could I not have thought Of that?'
"Well, marster," SAID the negro,
''don't you know some folks is jest
maturity smarter than tothers. "ra srfg

trace?'' .-.rj e.,

A Snake Story.

A German who lives on the Blue
Mountains, near the line of the Berks
and Schuylkill, Pa, was out hunting.
AS he was crossing a small clearing he
laid down his gun to gather some Blue
Mountain tea. Shortly after he picked it
up again and was startled to hear very
close to his ear the peculiar wh;rring
which is the signal of the proximity Of
the rattlesnaKe. He looked suddenly
around, but could discover nothing.
when suddenly he discovered the tail of
the snake protruding from the muzzle
of his gun. He dropped the gun
quickly, but instead of coming out his
snakeship crawled into the barrel
again. After fruitless efforts to dis
lodge him, the man fired the gun, and
the snake, after taking a trip in the
air, came down in shreds badly used
