bring it to him. a poor man found
and restored it to the miser, and de-
manded the reward; but the old man,

The poor man, however, was advised
to sue for the money; and when the
case came on to be tried it appeared
that the seal had not been broken, nor
the bag ripped, and the judge said to
the defendants counsel: 1.-The bag you
lost had f110 in it, you say?"
Yes. sir"

Examiner: Paul kcister, Il German

which is cut into the mountain side,
winds around II sharp spur of the
mountain and is very narrow. keis-
ter was saunterinT lesurely along

but had taken but a step or two
when from the weeds by the side of
the path another RATHER rose up and
jingled his tail.
There was not room enough to
pass the snake without running the
risk of being bitten, and the friyhten-
ed musician backed up against the
ledge that hung above him and eyed
the reptiles.
Escape was impossible, and he
didn't know what to do. 1t sudden
~ occurred to him that he had read
of magicians in India charming
snakes with music, and pulling his
violin from its box he began to play.
the while Watching the snakes, who
were angrilv shaking their rattles.
The music had the desired effect.
The snakes gradually uncoiled, and
stretching themselves out in the path
glided slowly toward the musician.
This move on the part of the snakes
was anything but pleasing to keister,
who kept on saving at the fiddle try
ing to devise some scheme for escap
ing. Closer and closer came the
snakes, and faster and faster flew
the bow over the strings as keister's
nerves quvered and shook. At last
they reached Il point within two feet
OF the terrified fiddler, and winding
themselves up they lifted their heads
closely together and fixed their shin
ing eyes on the musician.
keister's nerves hung togethe,
about minute after the snakes had
assumed this attitude and then with
a yell he grabbed his fiddle by the
neck and brought it down with n
crushing force on the heads of the
snakes. The blow stunned the rep.
tiles and keister kept hammering
away at them till they were quite
dead. He broke his violin ali to
pieces but he got away with his life
The snakes measured six and seven
feet long, respectively, and one o.
them carried ten rattles and the
other seven. They were the longest
snakes of the kind ever killed in the
neighborhood.
