Do Garter Snakes Eat Fish !

Well, if you will allow me point and consider crayfish in the category, l. can answer yes. While on the Upper Ale gheny, not long since, I stepped out upon log which projected into the river and began washing my hands in the water. Suddenly perceived a quick movement in the river just be- meath my hands. which was followed by the appearance of large, healthy cray. fish, which seemed to rise out of the water in strange sort of way, which l could not understand. but in 8 moment more the mystery was solved by the head of snake popping up and showing that 1t had just caught the crayfsh by the tail.
 I kept perfectly quiet, while the snake watched me for minute or two, and then, concluding that ! looked too good- natured to hurt 1t, it commenced on its meal. It was garter snake about six teen inches long and slender for it's length. I could not see what it could possibly want with crayfsh, for I did not suppose it was insane enough to i'm agine that it could swallow such a bunch of shell and claws. But it went right at it as though 1t understood its business. Swaying its head (which remained on g level with the surface of the water) from side to side, it worked its jaws as though with suction motion, rubbed its throat occasionally upon little stone in the water, and the tail and part of the body of the ctayfsh was soon comfortably past the Rubicon.
 But now came the tug of war, for there was the head and shoulders and huge large claws which were now to bs disposed of The snake seemed to re. alize that it had need of all its powers in order to complete its enterprise. It paused for a rest and a breathing spell, and I could readily imagine that it was splitting on its hands for the finish. Then it commenced again, and such a swelling and swaying and comforting would have made @ circus clown sick with envy. And all this time the poor crayfsh didn't offer single objection. It simply looked out into space with vacant stare, and didn't seem to have tbe least interest in the proceeding. It had doubtless been crossed in love at some not-distant period, and considered the world hollow mockery, from which It was blessing to be freed.
 Gradually its shoulders were drawn into the cavity, then it's head sank slow ly out of sight, and the last thing we saw of that crayfsh was one of its huge, sharp claws Illustrating dissolv- ing view, as it was drawn into its living grave. Then that snakes jaws closed like rat trap; it worked its body, push ing its victim down further-just as you have seen a boy work his throat when choking on an overdose, of dry sponge cake-lcked its lips with it's tongue few times, winked its eye at me. as though to say, "There, you can't do that, old man," and then wriggled away under the log to digest its well-earned meal.- Forest and Stream.
