day, near Spring Grove, Pa, Amos
Taylor bound black snake which was
nearly three feet long into sheaf. and
the first notice he got of the reptiles

around. The Others were about to run
away, thinking the man was going
crazy, until the poor man managed to
open the wristband of his shirt sleeve
and shake out a black snake ten inches

Spring Shooting.

The poet Whittier said the other oay
that if he were young man he would
enlist under the banner of some great
moral reform, no matter how desperate
the fortunes of that cause might now
appear, and devote himself to laboring
for it's success, says Forest and Stream.
One of the younger generation of sports
men now coming on the stage might
enroll himself on the side of the spring
shooting abolitionists with perfect con-
fdence in the ultimate triumph of their
principles. Nothing in the entire field
of craftsmanship is more clearly dem
onstrated by passing events than that
the sentiment against spring shooting
is gaining strength. It is stronger to-
day than it was ten or five years ago;
it will be stronger five and ten years
from now than it is to-day. It is gain
ing ground in wider territory than
ever before. No one who intelligently
notes the trend Of opinion in relation
to such affairs can fail to be convinced
that this is the situation with respect to
the shooting Of wild fowl flying north
ward to their feeding grounds in tho
srring Of tho yer.

A Wealthy Thief.

Not half lifetime ago a wealthy
New Yorker, who died recently, missed
from his picture gallery two small but
very valuable canvases. He suspected
everybody in the house. It was said at
the time that he accused one of his sons,
who was little wild, Of having stolen
the pictures in order to raise on them
money which his father had refused him
for his extravagances. However, the
facts remained a. mystery for some
years. Then an expressn1an delivered
package at the bankers door. In it
were the missing pictures, intact, as
they had been taken from their frames.
There was no mark Or sign upon them
or the package to denote the source
from which their restoration proceeded.
The owner was as curious now as he
had been furious before. He set de-
tective on the matter. The pictures
were tracked backward, through the
express Office, to the widow of one of
the owners most intimate and trusted
friends. This man, himself million
aire, crazed by cupidity, for he was a
collector of pictures himself, had stolen
them one night after he had dined with
their owner.

No Inducement.

1t is not learning but logic that counts
for most The ability to see things liz
the correct light is a wonderful gift.
A Chicago youth, residing in Engle-
wood, possesses this rare quality. He
and some other boys excited the anger
OF German neighbor by tying tin can
to the tail of the latter's dog.
The German, later on, saw the boy
passing his house and called out to him:
You blamed leetle tell; you come in
here geef you thrashingl''
No inducement, whatever" said the
youth. II wouldn't come in. there Il

seemed very near to him, Of the little
sister dear, OF the celebrations, of the
war and of the fearful battles.
The curly head nodded, and nodded,
and nodded, and when the story-teller
look for the big blue eyes they were
hidden. The child was asleep.
At the same moment he noticed that
great cloud-masses were rising in the
southwest and north.
Fourth of July always ends in a
rain" muttered Melancthon. "They
say it's on account Of tn gunpowder
Guess that's what's the matter now"
and he showed his teeth grimly. well,
there's no time to waste. If cyclones
comm tn haystack's as good place as
any"
Carefully wrapping the child in the
huge coat on which she lay, and depos-
iting the flag by her side he gathered
the little burden in his strong arms and
set out for the stack on the disputed
land, only n score of rods away.
The clouds above them were nearly
together now and, though the wind
came from the north, the storm from
the south was whirling madly to meet
its adversary. 1t was growing dark,
and it was evident that the typical
prairie 'twister" was TO be born in
moment.
AS Melancthon ran with his light
bundle OF humanity toward the stack
he was suddenly conscious of another
person approaching the same possible
shelter. IL was woman and II did
not take a second glance to show him
that il was his rival for the possession
OF the land on which they both stood.
The first pattering drops Of rain came
from the blaclSness overhead just rs
both reached the goal.
My little Janer' gasped the woman.
"She is lost--have you seen her?n
Nom; that is" started Lanl1, in 4
manner.
sohl what shall l do? She will be
killed in the storm. She left tho house
two hours ago when | did not see her
and have looked everywhere for the
child"
A sudden inspiration came to the
man. lie turned back the la
pei of the big blue coat and exposed the
peaceful, pretty face Of the sleeping
child.
The delighted mother impotuously
leaned down and kissed the red checks
aud then said in that low, sweet voice:
"Thanls you so much"
That's all right. That's all right"
jerlSed out the man, and putting the
child down he began to dig out of the
fuls Of hay, making spacious recess
10 shelter them.
The drenching shower was upon
them. The air was full of flying de-
