The snake show now going on In New
York is proving a great success, and
each days programme brings a surprise
of one sort or another to the spectators
Most of the men who look upon the SER
pents become seized with the "shvers,"
but the women, like unto their respected
Mother Eve, show disposition to fondle
and caress them. Indeed. wherever a
snake develops a disposition to allow
itself to be fondled, there is some woman
who is willing TO take it into her hands.
Last Tuesday a stylish-looking young
lady specially requested to be allowed
to examine the big boa-constrictors. which
were shedding their skins, and when
her request was granted she took one OF
the huge monsters and put 1t around
her neck. She made herself equally as
familiar with the rattlesnakes, and didn't
seem the least disturbed by their pres
ence. She declared that she had always
been a lover of snakes, and explained
that she preferred them to cats and
dogs for pets.
Three of the largest exhibitors at the
show are Charles II. Highly. the artist;
Allen S. Williams, and r. L. Ditmar.
The two latter are prominent newspaper
unexpectedly snake editors. In fact,
Mr.. Williams was the man who suggested
the show.
The artist uses his serpentine collection
as models. He says their movements |
are the poetry of motion.
The biggest snake on exhibition is !
thrty-fve feet long, and it is as large |
around as a fashionable woman's waist. |
while some of the reptilian midgets are |
tho size of horsehairs.
