A Number of Foolish Snakes That Had q

Number of Foolish Snakes That Had .
Lot of Work For Nothing.
Talking of snakes, said man who
had recently arrived from the wilds of
Nicaragua, reminds me of an incident /
witnessed while was in the interior of
the little republic. 1t was In the section
where the hills approach the rivers.
happened to be padding down the stream
and halted to escape the sun, just under
a cliff, which was some 30 feet above the
low ground, forming an abrupt declivity.
while l was leaning against the trunk
OF large trumpet tree near the bank OF
the river l happened to glance up at o
edge Of the cliff and noticed snake hang
ing head downward and swinging in the
open space. While l was wondering was
more surprised at seeing another reptile
climb down the body of the first and coil
his tail about it's neck Then there came
another and another, all doing the same
thing until there was rope Of snakes
reaching within about three feet Of the
ground, all pursuing the same tactics az
the second. Then realized that the things
were trying To reach bottom in this orig
inal manner. They did not reach low
enough, and directly the bottom ones
crawled to the top and shortly reappeared,
each with small hit of twig in his mouth.
When the first one with the twig reached
the end of the rope, the hanging one grasp
ed the wood in his mouth, and the other
hung tail down. Then second dropped
down the rope, coiled his tail about the
tail of the Other and hung head down with
the stick in his mouth, and u third, climb
ing the living coils, in his turn grasped
the other piece of twig and was suspended
tail down like the first. BY the aid Of the
pieces of twig they heightened the coil I'M
til the bottom, snake touched the ground -
"Say," qucried one of the interested
listeners, 4what became of the snakes ut
the top? Did they drop"
"That was just the thing. When the
bottom snake was about to let 90, he seem
ed to realize that the ones ut the top would
be no nearer terra firma than before and
changed his mind, and, crawling up slow
ly, apparently informed the Others, ard
