Cameron after the first man I ever

well, Simon Cameron soon became
as much part of my household as l
was. And he was the usefulest pet l
ever saw. Why, when my alarm clock
smashed, he hung himself on the head
of the bed, and at exactly G;l5 every
morning he'd spring his rattles till he
woke me up.
THAT wasn't but one of the many
slick tricks he had.
"Well, along about May, when spring
set in, Simon Cameron began to grow
sad. l could see he longed to be back
in the hills among his own kind, and
yet his loyalty to me kept him at the
cabin.
"One morning he didn't wake me up
as usual. l couldn't find him till late
that afternoon. Then came across a
torn half of his body just outside the
door. You see it was this way:
His wild nature had drawn him
back 20 the hills. His loyalty to me
had held him where he was, and LII

way, hadn't pulled him clean in half.

of Silent Woman creek, came TO town
this morning for his annual supply of
stores. He brought with him, among
other things, half of a small snake
skin concerning which he tells the fol
lowing veracious story:
Il was coming home from setting
my traps one morning along about the
first of April" says Jabez, when l
heard a frightful row in the bushes,
like as if a wildcat was throwing a
fit and then trying to pick it up again.
l opened the brush, and there, in lit
tie clearing, was the queerest sight
you ever struck.
I'm the middle of the clearing was a
little rattlesnake, not morn three foot
long. Around him on the ground lay
the torn and mangled bodies of y
blacksnakes, not one of 'em less than
twice as big as he was. And y more
of the same size was still fighting him.
He'd evidently wandered into a nest Of
gigantic blacks makes and had been at
tackled by the whole shooting match.
He was fighting plenty, unappeased
and tempestuous, and he'd killed half
his foes, but any fool could see at
glance that the others would be too
many for him, for he was breathing
