For some time snake about four feet
iOng and as thick as a siXteen-year-old
boys wrist, with a white belly and it's
back of a darker color, has had a den
beneath a big rock on the Big Four rail-
road lot near Shea's beer house. Last
Saturday morning about IL o'clock John
Kennedy, clerk at the depot, noticed his
snakeship lying in the dust and basking
himself in the hot rays of the June sun
a number OF feet from the rock. Ken
nedy at once procured a club with which
to dispatch the reptile. He approached
within three feet of it, when the snake
coiled, and before the uplifted club had
descended with a death-dealing blow 1t
sprung at Kennedy and sank its fangs
in the side of his leg. The attack was
sudden and unlocked for and greatly dis
concerted the snake exterminator. He
paid no more attention to the snake,
which crawled with great rapidity to its
home beneath the rock. He rolled up
his trousers and red puHcture revealed
itself, about which the flesh was begin
ming 10 swell and numbness began TO
pervade the entire leg from toe to thigh.
Thoughts of snake poisoning flashed
through his mind, and remembering the
patent antidOte applicable In case Of
snake bite. FASTENED to Schinnerer's gar
den and gulped down couple Of big
horns of whisky. BY this time-not
oIo
from the time of the bite-the leg had
become greatly swollen and about the
bite was a knot larger than his fist. He
then bent rapid steps to Dr. Falk's office
and not a little frightened told the doc
tor what had happened DR.. Falk APP
suck the poison from it and also pre-
scribed copiOus doses of whisky. Joe
complained Of nothing but a peculiar
numb feeling in the leg. The swelling
inflammation set in. Mr.. Kennedy's leg
is yet considerably swollen and infiamed,
but he is pronounced out of danger

Thursday June IA, the golden Jubilee
of the st. Joseph's schools of Jasper was
duly celebrated by the sisters of Provi-
dence, who are in charge. In the morn
ing a solemn high mass was celebrated
by the reverend pastor and four-voiced
mass sung by the choir. In the after
a drama, in three acts. entitled THE
Queen of Sheba," and Franz Hitzig and
Frau Blitzic," a farce in one act, were
produced by the young ladies of the
city. Beside the above mentioned pieces,
a number of declarations and vocal Sc
lections, such as the Jubilee Hymn"
an operetta, ave Maria" and a vocal
duet constituted a great portion of the
exhibition. The success with which the
drama and the other pieces were rem
dered was marvellous. Friends and pa
irons focked together from various
places, from far and near, and filled the
hall to its utmost capacity. Although
the heat was most oppressive, they new
ertheless manifested the greatest inter
est and attention. The single parts were
carried out in a manner which eVinced
a great talent of the performers. 1t is
now fifty years since the sisters of ST.
Mary's Of the Woods took charge of the
catholic schools Of Jasper They have
labored with unrelenting zeal and untir-
ing fervoT in the education of the little
ones entrusted to their care. Many a
grown and aged person of Jasper is in
debted to these sisters for the solid
Christian education he received in their
school, Although great and numerous
hardships were encountered by them dur
ing the past fifty years, they never lost
sight OF that great object Of parish
schools-namely, 10 impart to catholic
children a good catholic education, TO
train not only their minds, but also
their hearts. and to make them worthy
and faithful children of their holy
church-and this is what the sisters
have thus far successfully accomplished.
May they continue successful in their
noble undertaking and never grow weary
in their meritorious task. - Jasper
Courier.
