when l said that hen was the only

pigs. Pigs don't seem to mind the bite
of rattlesnakes so much as do mo-

served. They rather enjoy getting in
among rattlers. l had an old SOW
once, and she was irregular terror after
rattlesnakes. She would find the trail on
one as surely as the hound can find the
deer's track, and she'd follow that
trail until she came up with the snake
that made it, and then the rattler was
her meat. She didn't seem to care
for any other kind of snakes, but she'd
hunt rattlesnakes from the beginning
of the season until the end. If could
have taught that pig to retrieve she'd
have been worth good deal TO me,
for the number of snakes she'd
have brought in during a
season would have been i'm
mense, and rattlesnake skins are
worth any where from fifty cents to
two dollars apiece, and the oil always
stands fellow in at least one dollar
an ounce. But she wasn't on the re-
trieve. She was hunting for her own
accommodation, and ate every snake
she caught, leaving only the head. l
used to find so many heads on my
tours through the woods that it began
to dawn on me that my old sow was
working dead against me by destroy

to kill her for my own protection.
THE only thing that ever knew
rattlesnake to be really afraid of is
bat. If you want to scare a rattle
snake into fits so that he will curl up
in corner and cover up his head and
actually tremble, just put a bat in his
cage But a bat is enough to give

HOW The RANSOM WAS PAID.

On the helpless flemish village
Cruel Alva swooped and fell,
And the peace of trade and tillage
Turned to martial clank and yell.
In the town house, tall and handsome,
Stood the grand duke, looking down
On the burgers prof ring ransom
For the safety of tho town.
Der his brow gray locks were twining-
For his casque was laid aside,
And his good sword carved and shining
From his sword belt was united.
Prince he seemed of born commanders,
Pride and power each gesture told,
AS he cried, I'VE men OF Flanders,
Bring me twenty casks of gold =
Then upon them fell a sadness,
And d shadow like a pail!
While they murinured, '"Tis rank madness
Such sum from us to CALL"
And the spokesman of the village
Murmured feebly, "Sure you jest"
Answered Alva, "Gold or pillage-
Choose Whichever may suit you best y
Faint and stunned, they turned despairing
w QGQ uFOS6 " 1eiu5H VI JOJ
And before their startled staring
In there pranced little boy.
On his cur]s the dukes hemlet rested,
AS his noisy glee he roared,
And his good steed mailed and crested
Was great Alva's mighty sword!
Round about the room he gamboled,
Peeping through the helmet bars,
Now he leapeo and now he ambled-
Like Cupid knocking Mars.
Then he stayed his merry prancing
And of Alva's knees caught hold,
Where ray Of sunlight glancing
Turned his sunny curls to gold.
Swift the mother, sorely frightened,
Strove to take the cherub wild,
Butthe dukes stern features lightened
As he kept her from the child,
And he drank the pretty prattle-
For the baby knew no fear,
Till his eye. so fierce in battle,
Softened with pearly tear.
For & baby rose before him
In fair Spain, ere wars alarms
Thu his fathers sword upbore him
Alva caught the boy in arms.
And, the pretty forehead barring,
Cried "A kiss!' the child obeyed.
Then unto those men desparing
Alva said: 'Your ransom's paid!''
