How the Reptile stole the MILK From
Fine Jersey Cow.

"a Fine Jersey Cow.
Shreveport Ua) Cor. Philadelphia Times
w. l.. Hewey. living up in the Cross
Lake country. has a fine Jersey COW, which
usually keeps the family supplied with an
abundance of milk. On Monday last Hewey
noticed falling off in the milk supply and
for every day thereafter there has been a
steady diminution. Thinking that perhaps
the pasturage did not furnish sufficient
nourishment for the COW, Hewey began
to give her an extra quantity of food at
night. but in vain. Every evening she re-
turned to the pen with an empty bag At
last Hewey came to the conclusion that
some negro in the peighborhCod must be
in the habit of milking the COW before she
left the pasture; so he set about discover
ing the guilty party. Yesterday his inves-
LEGATIONS were rewarded, the thief prov
ing to be a singular one, indeed.
In the middle of the afternoon Hewey
went out into the pasture, taking his stand
behind a big oak tree. whence he could
keep eye on the COW without being him.
self observed. Fora long time there seemed
no chance of solving the mystery, as no
one appeared in the pasture. Finally Hew-
ey was about to give up the search as a
bad job and drive the COW to the pen when
he saw big black and white-pied snake
( glide out from the thicket behind him and
make its way across the pasture to the
Jersey. Following after as rapidly as he
could, what was his establishment to be-
hold the snake wrap itself around the Jer-
sey's hind legs, holding them hard and fast
and then grasp hold of the bag, sucking
away at the teats like a hungry calf.
Hewey is a new man in this section, and
this singular conduct on the part of a rep
tile surprised him beyond measure. Since
consulting with his neighbors, however, he
has ascretained that the snake, called a
''cow sucker" is a very common variety
causing much loss among cattle raisers
and milkmen in this section.

gold the first place; but constitutes both
