A Bird Snakes do Not Like.

Galveston, "for we have bird which keeps
'em pretty well cleared out. This Is the
chaparral cock. or road runner as IL is
commonly called, and we all protect 1t on
account Of its snake killing propensities.
The bird Is about the size of an ordi-
nary guinea fowl and IL stoutly and com-
pactly built IL wanders all over the
country, and its chief object in life ap-
pears to be the killing of snakes. The
road runner approaches its enemy eau
tiously and circuitously, and as it gets near
stretches one wing down as a shield, after
the fashion of turkey gobbler strutting In
a banyard, and waits for the snake to
strike The wing is thrown 20 catch the
bite, and ~ quick az a fash and before the
snake can recover the runner with uner-
ring aim sends its long bill, which Is hard
as ivory, through the head OF It's sntagon-
list, which puts in the time from thence
forth until sunset in dying. Chicago
