effect. Link was son of a wealthy

SOME CHOICE SNAKE STORIES

A Sedalia, Mo-. editor was presented
with snake lately. When it arrived it
was whole, but in day OF two it UNI
jointed itself, and is now in three
pieces. The moral of this paragraph is
to Shun the first glass.
While two ladies and a gentlemen
were out riding at st. Augustine, Fla,
day or two ago, huge black snake
fell from limb of an overhanging tree
upon the top of the carriage. The snake.
crawled down into the carriage by the
side of one of the ladies. She screamed
and the snake slid down the side of the
vehicle and made for the palmetto
bushes. The driver slashed at it with
his whip and secured as a trophy piece
of the snakes tail.
Judge Bailey, of Jackson, Ca, while
fishing, saw monster moccaSin SWIM
ming by. Thinking it was sea serpent
the judge attempted to harpoon him
with his hook. Making an artistic cast
he succeeded in hooking the monster
through the body: Then it was pull

was standing, when the legal luminary
took to the water. yelling for help. He
was at last rescued by his friends, and
his SnakeShip was killed.
d. J. Guyton. living at Gainesville,
Ga, killed a snake under peculiar cir
cumstances. His COW had failed to
come up at the usual time and he went
out in search for her. After long
hunt he found the animal In field and
when he attempted to drive her home
ward she would not move. Upon closer
inspection Mr.. Guyton met with sur
prising sight. Wrapped around one of
the legs of the COW was large snake,
the head of which was doing effective
service in drawing lacteal fluid from
one of the teats. 1t took only few
minutes to kill the snake. which was
found to be of the chicken variety,
measuring six feet and eight inches.
Two lads, aged thirteen and fourteen.
living near Carrollton, o., were taking
horse to pasture on Mr.. Thomas farm,
and as they were about to Secrete the
bride until their return they discovered
two large blacksnakeS, one of which
the lads succeeded III killing, while the
other took refuge in a hollow log. The
next day the father of one Of the boys
visited the place and cutting into the
log discovered and killed the other
snake. Each one of the reptiles meas
ured six feet, and inside of the first one
killed were found fourteen pheasant
eggs. A large number of blacksnakes
have been killed in that vicinity in the
past.

ONLY THREE YEARS.

The proposition before the manage
ment of Harvard college to reduce the
length of the college course by year is
very significant. Coming from one of
the few institutions that date back to
colonial times, and, perhaps, least of
all suspected of leaning away from the
most conservative methods, it may be
taken as marking new departure.
The immediate step, it is true, is to
allow the four years work to be per-
formed in three years. This is appar-
emily keeping up the full requirement
for the degree, but the example will be
contagious. There is too much elec-
tricity in modern life to wait four years
ior the preparation the college affords
III entering upon the activities of life.
Many more will take advantage of the
opportunities for the higher education
when the period is lessened full year.
