A BIG SNAKE STORY.
A REPTILE AS UNIQUE AS THE SEA
SERPENT, THE PORPOIsE
SNAKE.

SERPENT, THE PORPOISE
SNAKE.
/, alone, one day in June, was
fishing on the banks of the bayou
Yucatan, under the shade of an
oak, in north Louisiana, having
lett my sailboat several hundred
yards from me, in order to escape
the hot sun.
had hardly seated myself con-
veniently when a dark object was
seen approaching OH the surface OF
the water. At first | thought it
was an alligator, but on closer
observation discovered It 10 be an
enormous creeping serpent. When
this huge monster was within few
yards of the spot where | was
seated | gathered some stones
about the size of goose eggs and
struck him eleven times, and,
strange to relate, the blows did not
appear to worry him to any great
degree, as he never once left the
surface of the water, but continued
unconcernedly at slow pace up
stream.
/ Immediately left my rod and
reel and hastily scampered to my
boat. 1t was only a question of
several minutes before was in
midstream in hot pursuit of this
object, which was soon overtaken.
When within close proximity l
noticed it to be blind and apparent.
ly harmless. Fearing, however, an
attack, seized my rife, and, TAX
ing aim at its head, fred. The
bullet lodged in the collar bone
and broke his neck. There was q
slight movement OF the tail, little
slashing of the water, and all was
over, the monster floating down
stream. Curious to learn the
species of this peculiar reptile, L
made lasso from a stout rope
which | had in my boat and threw
it around its body, thus enabling
me to tow 1t ashore.
A critical examination developed
the fact that had captured a
monster snake never before seen
by me. 1t had head resembling
long funnel shaped horn, the
body being similar to small kegs
joined together. What made mat
ters more queer, each keg had q
bunghole (some of the bungs pelng
on top and some on the Sides
Hauling the tail on the bank
which was by no means an easy
task, out of curiosity to learn the
contents of the kegs, | opened one
of the bunghoIes by means of &
ackknife, and found it to contain
a very fine purified oil.
Just at this juncture my uncle
who is an old fisherman and ha'
been a member of the city councili
came up, and the minute his eyes
fell on the captive, with frantic
gestioulations he exclaimed that
had captured a valuable porpoist
snake, seldom seen in these waters
The oil in the kegs | found to DO
pure, unadnlterated porpoise oil. |
had twelve forty.nine gallon oil
barrels sent to the bank and filled
them all. The oil was shipped Il
the most extensive watch making
establishment IN this country, an(
brought o handsome sum.
By way of explanation, l would
say that this snake obtains the oil
by plunging its sharp head int
the side of the porpoise and draIn'
every drop of oil from its body.
The snake had fifty.tbree keg'
and was sIxty.nine feet long.

kegs and bungs (the head having
decayed), which l prize.
Should any one doubt the yer
aclty of this statement, l can ex
hibit the kegs and bungs.-Ne"

CAsTELAR's "SAVONARoLA'
Where are they who marched away
Sped with smiles that changed to tears
Glittering lines of steel and gray
Moving down the battles way
Where are they these many years
Garlapds wreathed their shining swords
They were girt about with cheers
Children's lispings, women's words,
Sunshine and the songs of BIRDS
They are gone 50 many years.
"Lol beyond their brave array
Freedoms august dawn appears )"
Thus we said THE brighter day
Breaks above that line of gray"
Where are they these many years
All our hearts went with them there,
All our love, and all our prayers
What of them How do they fare,
They who went to do and dare,
And are gone so many years
What of them who went away
Followed by our hopes and fears
Braver never marched than they,
Closer ranks to fiercer fray,
Where are they these many years
IL.
Borne upon the Spartan shield
Home returned that brave array
From the blood-stained battlefield
They might neither win nor yield;
That Is all, and here are they.
That is all. The soft sky bends
Der them, Tapped in earth away
Her benignest influence lends,
Dews and rams and radiance sends
Down upon them, night and day.
Over them the Springtlde weaves
All the verdure of her May;
Past them drift the sombre leaves
When the heart of Autumn grieves
Der their slumbers, What care they :
What care they, who failed to win
Guerdon of that splendid day
Freedoms day-they saw begin,
But that, mid the battles din.
Faded in eclipse awayl
All is gone for them. They gave
All for naught. It was their way
Where they loved. They died to save
What was lost. The fight was brave,
That is all and here are they.
III.
Is that all Was duty naught
Love, and Faith made blind with t,,ars
What the lessons that they taught
What the glory that they caught,
From the onward sweeping years
Here are they who marched away
Followed by our hopes and fears;
Nobler never went than they
To bloodier, madder, fray,
In the lapse Of all the years.
Garlands still shall wreathe the swords
That they drew amid our cheers
Children's lispings, wOmen's words,
Sunshine and the songs of birds
Greet them here through aA the-years
With them ever shall abide
All our love and all our prayers.
"What of them 2" The battles tide
Hath not scathed them. Lo! they ride
Still with Stuart down the years.
"Where are they who went away
Sped with smiles that changed to tearsl
Lee yet leads the lines Of gray
Stonewall still rides down this way
They are Fame's through all the years
