some one at little distance busily engaged
in digging ferns, of which he already had
a large basket full. On approaching closer

character iii this city whose face is As famil-
lar As the pOstofiice itself. Monk some time
ago celebrated his 10. OOOth anniversary of
being put in the station house but here he
was in the midst of the most enchanting
scenery which nature has prepared for our
delight, digging ferns and gathering wild
flowers with all the tenderness which a wo-
man would have shown. Monk had already
collected a large basketful of ferns and
flowers, which he said he was gathering for
lady on High street. He seemed as happy
as the day is long, and was helping the birds
to ...,g and the rippling river to laugh. 1t
was really touching sight.

his weather eye open for snakes so well as
for wild flowers. Monk Is a most accom-

Another way is TO go out West Pleasant

reached ysu find yourself on Mad River
pike, and only half mile from the rocks.
On Sundays dozens of persons walk out
that way to get breath of fresh air, and
really there is no locality in Springfield
where the air is fresher or better.
The locality is also favOrite spot for the
botany students of the high school. who go

blossoms like chimes of fairy scarlet bells.

If Monk sees snake crawling into its
hole, he is all excitement i'll a minute.
With one hand he has the reptile by the
tail, mo you don't" he shouts, and in "A

by the tail. pulled it out despite its Strug-
giles, wrapped il in roll as he would four
feet of clothes line, and put it in his pocket
or a bag. Monk thinks no more of walking
around with his poket full of snakes, than
an ordinary man would think of walking
around with bundle of straps in his vest
packet. Monk caught quite a number of
garter snakes with the latest patterns

which were exhibited in glass case in
Bradley's saloon.
He will probably indulge his pcpchnnt
for snake catching until he gets the wrong

Monks pocket in fun. That useful recep-
tacle was as usual filled with representa-
tives of the reptile kingdom in the shape of
several large and lively garter snakes.
Just how many of the snakes used their
bell-punches on the mans hand is not
known, but it is said people in the vicinity
will be- haunted to their dying day by the
look of amazement and disgust which
piaStered the mans features as he pulled
his bloody hand out and saw the kissing
head of a snake sticking out of Monks
pocket. and making faces at HIM.
