4 Mountain OF Snakes.

81 went out TO the mountains to fish
for trout last week, said wcll-known
and thoroughly reliable citizen of this
place, land the rain drove me to IN old
siianty which found to be inhabited by
IL solitary old man. After talking TO him
Il little about the continued wet weather,
the conversation turned to snakes. Yes, ,
said the old hermit. 'rattlcsnakos is mighty
thick this year.
:" Il guess the rain has soaked them all
out. If you wouldn't mind waikiki up
there on the side of the mountain where
you see that big pile of rocks, kin show
you more snakes n You seen for some
time The rocky promontory referred
to was perhaps half Z mile distant, and
willingly consented TO accompany him.
When we got within perhaps 300 feet of
the place stopped, and the old man said :
'Do you notice that gray rock there shaped
like Il haystackY admitted that | did.
well, he continued, that is no rock
that is pile o r.tticsnallcs. Come along
an I'll show YOU We approached 20O
feet nearer, and there, sure enough,
could see that what the old nan said was
true-a pyramidshaped pile of rocks,
iuliy us large ms an ort'inarysizcd hay
stack, was so literally covered with snakes
rs toappcar like a scc;hing mass of squ,rm-
ing reptiles. 1t was horrible beyond cx-
preston. Now watch, said the old man,
and he picked up . large stone and hurled
it right into the midst of the pile I'm
mediately the heretofore sluggish mass
became II hideous hell of activity. They
coled, Kissed and struck viciously, sink
ing their poisonous fangs into each others
flesh, and kept up II rafting that was al
most dcafcning. The old man hurled
stone after stone among them, and they
continued to grow more furious until it
seemed that every serpent was in II death
struggle with another. The stencil aris-
ing from the poison which they emitted
became so sickcning that l feared we
would be overcome byit, and we fastened
away. more frightful, awful spectacle
than this battle of the rattlcsnakes could
not possibly he imagined The old man
said that this was ii regular nesting
ground for rattlcrs, and that of the thou
sands engaged in the deadly combat
several hundred at least would die."-
