CWI-NAIN AND OTHERS.

The p%hilologist had an attact of ma
laria. He went to the intellectual drug
clerk and remarked:
will you kindly put me up ten five
grain pills OF cwi-nain?'
The drug clerk. with the nonchalant
confidence of his kind. answered:
Ten five-grain pills Of ki-nin? Ger

but c~wai-neen."

"No; you misunderstood me: I said

"And | stand correct. We have been
in the habit Of calling 1t kl-nin among

Have you? When l went to school
the proper pronunciation was cwai-
main. or it may have been cwi-nine."
The intellectual drug clerk looked
PUZZLED. He apparently suspected that
he was being guyed. He attempted to
create n diversion by suggesting that
the p~hilologist might find the-ah-the
-ki-nin-more effective in the form of
carsules. The philologist said:
II have been in the habit of taking
my cwinain in the form Of pills.
"You may have it any way you like.

ever you please" said the drug clerk,

SNAKE WAS A ROOSTER.
dashed Its Tail Furiously. Its Pier
cling Eyes Aflame."

Col. Atwood, a well-known survivor
of the civil war, ex%-veteran and indie,
fatigable narrator Of h~air-raising esca-
pades, had an experience with a snake
last week. The Colonel, who, by the
way, is a dispenser of groceries, was
driving past SHADES mills on the road
to Waterbury, when his attention was
attracted by the singular actions OF
three youngsters, who were striving to
dislodge something from the leafy foli-
age Of a tree by throwing stones.
The Colonel halted his team in front
Of the scene. and inquired the cause. OF
their exertions. when two boys replied
that a ferocious blacksnake was I'D in
the tree kissing at them, and they
were afraid to go up and dislodge him.
The old veteran cOuld not believe the
explanation. so, climbing u OF his
wagon. he looked up and saw the long
wiry form Of a black reptile entwined
furiously from side to side, its piercing
eyes aflame with a glittering light.
After trying all manner of inventions
to drive the reptile from his place Of
retirement, Mr.. Atwood fortunately saw
Frederick Warner coming on his wheel
and hailed him for assistance. Be
tween the W. the tree was shaken and
the snake crashed through the branch
es, alighting upon the startled form OF
the Colonel and winding it's subtle form
about his leg.
In an instant its fangs sank deep
through his pants, while the Colonel
grappled with the reptile. who in TURF
struck him repeatedly with it's fangs
causing the blood to spatter over his
hands and clothing. Mr.. Warner. see.
ing n favorable opportunity, sprang
forward and rained blow after blow
upon the furious reptile. who gradually
succumbed to the unmerciful attack OF
its human enemies.
The Colonel was to some extent IA
tigued by his severe exertion and loss
Of blood. The reptile is one of the
largest seen hereabouts. and all who
heard of the ]ncounter think it was
decidedly uncommon for a snake to roost
in a tree. Mr.. Atwood's hands swelled
to an abnormal size. but are greatly
reduced at present. He is not likely
to forget the furious battle for some
length of time.-Waterbury Democrat.

Verse from a VARSITY song at Lara

"Our uniforms are the sweetest things!
And don't We look just fine?
