A TRUE SNAKE sToRY--A SIMILAR ONE.
Big Jake Larue, who lives southwest

snake yarns lately. Jake was hoeing
In his corr field the other day, when
he very nearly stepped on a rattle
snake. The snake struck at him but
he luckily thrust bis hoe to the front
and the snakes fangs were imbedded
for half an inch into the hoe handle.
Larue killed the snake and went on
working his weedy corn. Shortly after
he noticed that there was something
wrong with the hoe handle. He
glanced down and was surprised to
find that the handle had begun to
swell. In half an hour 1t was as large
as a mans leg. Then Jake took a
drink and the swell subsidized. swell,
now, don't that beat h-eck,n said
Jake.-Aurudsse ReUielo.
The other day while Jay Bennett
was hoeing out his pomegranate patch
he had a similar experience TO that of
Mr.. Larues only that the reptile that
Jay killed resembled a Demonstration
more than It did q rattle-snake. He
applied Cottonwood water to the hoe
handle and the swelling went down
almost as rapidly as it came up. Later
on In the day jay feared that gangrene
might set In, and he had the handle
amputated TO save" the hoe. He
gave the snake to his friend, Everett
Goodrich, who will stuff and fix 1t up
In shape'' and it will be placed in the
Cottonwood Springs building ut the
Worlds Fair. Dear reader, do you
think the above are true stories? We
don't. But we'll let 1t go at that.
