HE DID NOT FEAR SNAKES.

Copperheads Had No Terror for the
Mower of Shaweneunk Mountain.
One of the most dangerous snakes to be
found in Ulster and Sullivan counties is
the copperhead, sometimes called
pilot" by the natives. SAYS a Kingston,
IN. Y.) correspondent Of the Chicago
Ercning Post. Unlike the rattlCsnake they
give no warning before they attack. A
safeguard used by farm hands ut work in
hay or grain on ground infested 10y these
reptiles is to bind tw sted bands of hay
around their legs. The snakes jump up
and strike their fanGs Ill the hay, but do

field while moving.

PASSED THE COAL HOLE.
A Point in a Boston Alley Avoided
by n Nethodical Man.

Two newspaper men were walking
through Court Square down from Court
street TO school. Both had lived in Eos-
ton for twenty years or more and they
were friends.
Just as they had passed the entrance to
Young's Hotel, arm in arm, the gentle
man on the left and nearest the hotel
abruptly separated from the other. His
companion hesitnted for moment, while
tho other deliberately went around on
the other side and resumed the walk.
The peculiar action provoked inquiry,
and the editor explained in this way
