Fer Hickory Switch Male Man Of Him

Fer Hickory Switch Ma 70 Man OF Him
Twenty years or more ago Mrs.
John M. Crowell, then Miss Grant,
was the teacher OF a country school
near Yellow Springs. Ohio. says the
Atchison Globe. Among her papils
was an orphan boy whom the prin-
Gil al farmer OF the district had found
in Illinois aud taken 10 raise. The
boy was capable and bright, but he
lacked application, and on that account
was never prepared in his lessons.
Miss Grant complained OF the boys
shortening to his adopted father,
and was advised to wear hickory
CAD out upon him.
She hesitated, for the boy was big
and strong, although good natured
But the father insisted. and, after
warning the boy several times. she
one day used the hickory upon him in
the presence OF the entire school. 1t
humbed the lad, and it was feared
that he would run away that night
He was accordingly watched. But
instead OF running away he took a
candle and went to his room, where
the light was seen to burn the greater
part OF the night. The next day the
boy was in his place in school as
usual, ard throughout the day he was
perfect in his lessons. The reforma-
ton was complete. and the orphan
became famous in the district
Miss Grant came West and married
Mr. Crowell. A few years ago, while
Mr.. Crowell was still in the service Of
She Post Office Department. he was
riding over the Fort Scott and Wichita
road. The conductor was new to the
business and was averse to recognizing
Mr.. Croweli's credentials. But the
president OF the road happened 20 be
in his car, attached 10 the rear OF the
train, and the credentials wore re:
ferred to him. Pretty soon the pres
ideut appeared in person, and led Mr..
Crowell back into his car.
"Your wife, sir. made me president
OF this road" he said. IF it had not

hereabouts whether they are afraid of
rattlesnakes and they will answer
promptly that they don't mind them
very much, writes a Pennsylvania
correspondent Ask them II they fear
blacksnakes, and they will say yes
without the slightest hesitation. This
fear OF blacksnalSes has come down to
most Of them from their parents with
a story that none OF them is ever tired
OF telling. They all decl re that it is
true, and it is so we'll known and is
told with so much solemnity and evil
dent fear by the natives that it is hard
TO disbelieve it The story runs like
this:
Many years ago a well-to-do farmer
lived with his family near the barren
land verging on Pike County. His
wife was city bred and unusued to
many OF the hardships that are a part
OF the farming woman's life. She was
strong and hardy. however, with
plenty OF nerve and grit enough to
make the best of things. One day,
while her husband was working in a
clearing a good distance from the
house, she went down 10 the spring,
for pail OF water AS she stopped
over to fill the pail a blacksn make. that
had been lying coiled near the spring.
jumped at her. She screamed and
jumped back, but the snake had buried
its fangs in her dress, and before she
could recover herself sufficiently to
shake him off he had wound himself
about her so tightly as 10 prevent her
from walking. Then he began slowly
to crawl upward. The poor woman
struck at the snake with her hands.
They were badly bitten, but she was
go overcome with fright that she did
not mind this. and kept on striking at
him. The serpent kept crawling up
until his coils were about her breast.
She tried to tear him loose, but she
was not strong enough. She lecame
nearly paralyzed by terror. The
snake finally coiled himself around her
neck and choked her. She started
toward the house, but she had only
gone short distance when she fell.
In the evening she was found by her
husband lying dead. with the snake
still coiled about her neck.
This story, with the well-known fact
that "a blacksnake is ever ready and
willing to fight anything that lives.
makes the native afraid OF him. and
the man who kills blacksnake l.
thought to have won a greater battle
than tho slayer OF a dozen rattle
snakes.

said one old hunter, 'and the more you
try TO the more he amt frightened.
A ratilesnake is coward. and will
run il you give him half a chance. II
he doesn't get the CHI nee he will rattle
in fear and then strike in desperation.
rattlesnake's bite is not nearly SO
dangerous as many people suppose.
Ali that you have to do to render the
wound rmless is to cut it as deep as
the fangs went, and then GO TO the
nearest brook and wash it thoroughly.
