A Defender OF BIacksnakes.

The reporter was advised not to kill
a blacksnake under any circumstance.
An honest, reliable man explained
this: only a few days ago I saw
black racer whizzing around in cir
Gle, his flaming eyes distended; his at
tention seemed riveted on something
not far away. I advanced, and to my
establishment I saw a large rattlesnake
coi1ed up in battle array. The black
snake continued his circuits, getting a
little nearer his victim each time.
After ten or fifteen minutes the rattle
snake dropped his head on tho ground.
Almost instantaneously the black
snake bounced upon his victim. After
securely fastening his teeth in the
back of the rattlesnake's head he be-
gan his deadly coiling. Within five
minutes the rattlesnake was dead. so
don't kill a blacksnake."< The color
came into the old gentleman's face as
he was relating the above, says the
Lebanon (Ky.) Enterprise, and he
said: Boys, blacksnakes are game,
but they won't hurt you, for had one
for pet for years, and because nv
old woman woke one night an d found
the snake in bed she raised ain awful
fuss and killed it."

who defed her charms, deprived her Of

any shaft against the lord of the manor
