EpoM THE CRICKET GAME FORTH A

FROM THE CRICKET CAME FORTH a
SNAKE.-M1. VIM. F. Walker says one
day last week his little son, Roger
Walker, droL ped piece OF coke on Il
cricket near the gas house, and from
the mashed cricket there craw!ed iorln
q snake nine and half iaehes long
about the size OF horse hair ana nav

lanes Roach, who some time ago
moved here from King George, ana our
weIl-known townsman, Mr.. James n.
Tnrner. when told of this remarkable
occurrence, stated that horse LAIR put
in water would turn 10 snake. Inc
most reasonable theory, therefore, is
that a cricket possesses the same power
of Transformation over horse halr !na'

TRTCKED AN ANGRY BULL.

By clever strategy on the part of their
comt anions, Daniel Yerger and Frank
Kulp, OF Pottstown, Pa, were liberated
from very unpleasant positions in which
they were placed by mad bull on Sat
nrday while on fishing trip along the
Perkiomen creek. They were 10 par

at the waters edge, when the bull ap
pe ared and he took to tree tor safety.
The bull tore around among the camp
baggage and all the time kept an eye on
Kulp, giving him no chance to slp
down. He was held o prisoner there
for an hour, when Yerger came along.
The vicious brute promptly went after
the newcomer, and Yerger dashed into
the water, wading in till it was up to
his neck. Then the ball patrolled the
bank of the stream, believing wildly
and kicking up clouds of dust. Botn
! men were afraid to shift their positions.

Raioner and Shaner rounded the bend
of the creek in boat. They tried to
drive the animal away, but to no pur-
pose. They did not dare venture near
and the bull would not bulge. Reign,

red cloth in the boat, and then a lucky
thought came to him.
Knowing how bull Gao be exclted
by display of that flaming color, ne
seized the cloth and waved it. Inc
bulls attention was at once attracted
and he became more enraged than ever.
Then shaner pulled away on the oars
