Chauncey n. Foote Of High Ridge,
Conn, was walking about his farm one
day last week, when he saw blue racer
snake summing itself at the foot of large
tree. About the time that Mr.. Foote OBJ
served the snake the reptile saw Mr.. Foote,
but did not move, though its eyes glistened
in the sunlight. Mr.. Foote has the reputa-
tion of being the most accurate rifle shot
In this vicinity. He determined 10 shoot
the snakes head of, and with his win
chester fired bullet after bullet Each time
the snake lodged and the bullet hit the
ground, and then the snake made its es-
cape. Mr.. Foote doubts if any beast or rep
tile has so remarkable eyesight as the or
dinary blue racer. To satisfy himself that
the snake he fired at actually dodged the
bullets, he made an examination and found
that every bullet which had left his rifle
had lodged in space the size Of a silver
half dollar just behind the place where the
snakes head had been.

THE BOSS SERPENT.
A BiE Snake Located on = Farm In ILL.,


John Phcgley OF Modoc, Ills, has the
boss snake OF this country on his farm.
This is no snake story, and every state.
ment relative to the Pheglcy snake can be
proved. 1t is monster reptile, as large
as the heaviest part Of mans leg and
feet in length. This is known to be fact
because his snakeship comes out every
spring and sheds his skin. OF course the
empty shell, not being considered danger
Gus, is approached and measured without
fear.
The big snake lives in a deep hole OF den
In the bottom Of "sinkhole'' on Mr..
Phegley's farm, and while its presence has
been proved many times the actual snake
has not yet been seen, for he is wary and
times his visits In search OF food so that no
has always kept ont Of sight, but he is
there and has been there for many years.
There are Others on the Pheglcy farm,
regular old rattlers, many having already
been killed there. Among the recent cap
lures was that of huge rattler who had
caught a squirrel and tartar at the same
time, for the snake was found dead with
the squirrel protruding from its mouth.
Both had evidently died, the one In eating
and the other in trying 10 keep from being
eaten.-Chicago Times Herald.

Poverty Suppers.

Poverty suppers are the latest form of

the cost not exceeding al for l2 guests.
The members Of the society, however, pay
20 cents each for their entertainment, and
in this way good round sum may be
made.

need get up hungry.
After the homely repast music, recita-

or an informal dance. Thus the poverty

A PLEA FOR BIRDS.

cultural Department.

ical division Of the agricultural department.
that bird division, TO be devoted To in
structing children in the value of our ma
tive birds and the best means Of protect
ing them, may be added TO the school cal
endar. The idea originated with Professor
@. A. Babcock, the superintendent of
schools in Oil City, Pa, where IL has been
in force with gratifying results for several
years. The suggestion has received the
cordial approval OF Secretary Morton, who,
In letter to Professor Babcock, pays high
tribute to the beauty and utility Of the
feathered tribe.
T. 5. Palmer, the acting chief of the
biological division, in circular on this
subject sent out by the department asks
II IL were not well TO do something to pro-
tect the birds and prevent their destruction
before it is too late. He thinks If IL is un-
wise to establish a day fer a study of birds,
the exercises of bird day ought to be COM
bined with those Of Arbor day.
