A BrG WISE sNAKE.
He Did Not Care to Bite OF Moro Than
He Could Chew.

He Could Chew.
The following yarn is credited to the
Madagascar NetoS::
SIN the Yelgree forest, near our trad
ing post, there was big snake that had
adopted rapid transit, saw him when
he first learned it. He was chasing
small hoop-snake, when the little one
put his tail in his mouth, after the man
ner of his kind and rolled clean out of
sight. Well, what did his snakeship do
but put his own tail into his mouth and
begin praetieing. After few turns he
grew accustomed to the thing and in
half an hour could beat the best bicycle
time on record.
"A few days after this / shot deer
and was carrying its horns home. AS
was passing a few hundred yards from
the Yelgree forest | saw what seemed
to be loose wheel Gaming out Of the
wood. 1t was the biggest wheel ever
saw. l felt almost as if the polar circle
had got loose and was making for me at
a doublequick.
"Hoop-la !" | cried; and then l shut
up, for | saw it was the big revolving
| python.
"'Twas no use shooting at his head
for he was revolving at the rate Of &C
miles an hour and no use trying L
escape, unless could hire an engine or
the spot So | Just lay down, to make
| it harder for the reptile to swallow me

side, if at all.

seemed to be growing out of my head
and the python may have mistaken mt
for the old serpent himself. Whateve
his idea may have been, he had no
ceased shiyering before he made track
for the forest, disappeared from my gaz
