A young man walked into a Park row
barroom with a party of friends the other
morning, and as the drinks were being
served he, unobserved, laid a small, brown
sh snake on the bar among the glasses.
Every one was sin on it," with the excep-

suddenly, then laughed q forced laugh and
started with a trembling hand TO pour out

His face turned deathly white. 'T'm not

THEN the crowd laughed. The young man
picked the snake up and held it moment
before the view OF his friend.
"It's all right. Jack" no said, tits alive.
Come and drink your poison"
This time the laugh was not so forced.

snakes, all young ones. from three weeks to
a month old. The breeding is done late I'm

to shift for themselves. You ca hardly
walk mile without seeing dozen Of them.
They are perfectly harmless, and generally
lay about on the plank walks and roads,
taking in the last warmth Of the sun.
"Tke school boys carry them around in
their pockets, and often organize themselves
and capture the snakes and put them in a
heap and hold an orgie around them. Then

took possession. They made friends
with no one md never allowed anybody
to land on the island unless ON one
broke mn orr or was shipwrcclSod.
