A Snake and G round Hog Story.

BAGLEY, Feb. 6.-Last Friday, Cd instant,
while driving along Snake road at Mr.. John
Walkers gate, | noticed an object which
supposed to be coil of rope. On examina-
ton, however, found it was large snake
coiled around ground hog. The snake was
in state of torpor but the ground hog was
alive. l saw through the matter at glance.
The ground hog, during the early winter, had
entered his home in the earth, and while
asleep the snake had coiled itself around him.
But on the I'd of February the faithful animal,
true to its instinct aroused itself to come forth
to look for its shadow, but as the snake was
torpid and unable to move, the ground hog
was compelled to bring it along. l liberated
the little weather prophet, who turned its back
to the sun, and seeing its shadow fled in
dismay to its burrow in a fence corner.

Game Laws and Dog Taxes.

Mr. EDITOR: often see in the newspa-
pers suggestions about the kind of game laws
we should have, but don't see anything said
about taxing the good-for-nothing eur dogs
that run about and kill all the young game
and sheep in the country. l think we should
have law to tax all dogs. Then we might
have fewer dogs running around and more
game Besides this dog tax would reduce the
farmers taxes on useful things.
There is no sense in prohibiting shooting
game for one season or more That would
not increase the game but would only give
the dogs better chance. If the cunning
season lasted only from November 18th to
December Both it would be better, for then
the farmer and his boys could enjoy little
cunning after their corn is husked. Now
the game is all killed before the farmer gets
chance. j. w. w.

MRS. FANNIE WALKER

Little more than month has elapsed since
this admirable woman passed from the joys
and sorrows of earth to the rest of paradise
In her death the community at large, as well
her own near and dear ones, has sustained a
loss that will long be felt to be irreparable.
Young in years and full Of brightness and
joyousness belonging to youth, she was ready
to enter into the feelings and pleasures Of the
young and contributed in every way in her
power to the social enjoyments of the neigh
borhood.
Full Of sympathy and Astounding in charity,
she was ever on the alert to seek out and re-
lieve distress and want. In her church she
was exemplary and adorned the doctrine of
Christ in her daily walk.
1t was in her own home, however, that she
will be most missed. AS wife and mother
her Astounding love and wise guidance made
her the joy and support of the family circle.
Let us take comfort in the thought that our
loss is her eternal gain, and in the hope
that we, following the same precepts by which
she lived, shall at last on a brighter shore,
strike glad hands with our loved ones. not
