SNAKE, EGGS AND A JUG.
A MOccasin's Appetite and Lack of
Sense Led to His Death.

A party of Jacksonville mechanics
were at work Oh the Matanzas river
raising Il sunken dredgeboat. They
lived on board Of the big lighter on
which they worked in a small house
on the deck. One noon their bill of
fare was somewhat strengthened by
some wild turkey eggs which had been
found by some OF the party while hunt
Inc on shore. After the hungry en-
gineers had destroyed a heavy dinner
they left their dining OOm and return
cyl to work. The doors and windows
We're all open, and the cook did not
clear off the table for some time.
In this interval a large water moe
casin Of near six feet crawled on board
the lighter and wriggled into the din
ing room through the open door. In
his prospecting tour he climbed the
table leg, and here, with a snakes
fondness for eggs, he went in for a
feast. One of the turkey eggs lay
alone by a plate, and the rest were In
a dish on the other side of the table.
In the center stood a large water jug,
and right here the willy serpent slipped
I'D. After swallowing the lonesome
| egg, he started for the main supper
and in his artless crawled
through the handle of the jug. 1t was
q rather tight tit, and he had to stop
| about half way through on account of
the egg, which enlarged him some
what. So, stretching forward, he bolt
ed another egg and thereby fastened
himself.
On each side of the jug handle was
an egg on his inside, and he could
move neither backward nor forward,
practically riveted in position. He was
soon found in this peculiar situation
by the cook, who speedily killed him.
The reporter was shown the skin OF
the snake. With a crease still In the
middle from the tremendous pressure
