The mathematics Revenge

aSpeakin' O snakes" said the Texas
frontiersman, "reminds me Of a little adj
venture me and chum had with rattle
snakes that raade me respect the rattle
snake ever since F"
@What kind Of an adventure did you
have that makes you respect the rattle
snake ?" asked St. Louis man.
"Well, one evening just before dark, out
among the Rio Grande cano1s, there come
the all-fredest rain you ever seed. Before
we could get out the water had risen SO
the only way of escape was to cross canon
about thirty feet wide and 500 feet deep.
"When we got to this canon We found
lust about 100000 ratt'esnakes there.
They recognized me as their friend, it
seemed, as tried to keep my chum from
shooting into mound of 'em, for they
crawled around me and looked into my
face, as much as to say You can help
us over if you will. noticed that the
snakes paid no attention to my chum, ex
cept big RATHER my chum wounded would
look at him ard then 80 around to his fol
lowers and seem to tell them something.
sWell, / tied knot in the tail of big
RATHER and chen got another and looped
his neck into this, and so on until | had
snake rope about sixty feet long. Then |
coiled it in my hand as / would a lariat,
and throwed it across, and the head snake
tied himself to a tree, and the last one on
my side did the same. had my lot OF
snakes to 90 over first, and then | went
over on this snake-rope bridge. The last
snake let go of the tree. and he crawled up
and the others followed until all were
across.
"My chum had done as | did, but he let
the big wounded RATHER have himself made
the last snake, and tie himself around the
tree, so when all his snakes were over and
my chum was going over as | had done,
that big wounded RATHER seemed to grin
showing all his teeth-and let go. Of
course the whole shebang went down with
a swish, and my chum was throwed off
and smashed into jelly, and" but the
crowd had scattered and left the big Texan
to himself.

his hearers, he said "Of all nations on
the earth the English are the most distin-

it turned out poor collection after all.
