A Snake Trust.

character. company is being organ

snakes to extract from them their me-

tion as past master in the knowledge
of all that pertains to snakes of all de-

but when you go to the bottom OF these
elaborate offers they were willing to
pay me a good price for the use of my
name and lithograph, but when it came
to the merits of the goods they didn't
seem to care whether it contained any
of the healing properties of the snake
or lake water. The present company
will be composed of business men, and
not schemers, and it is now my anticf-
patton to leave in early July for the
South, and not only bring back good
ly supply of rattlers. but make ar
rangements for further shipments. We
will fill up what you might call farm

snakes. 1t will no doubt be located in
the suburbs of Rochester, and the now
city of having a. snake farm in our To-
