Lonesome Jack and a Snake
Killing.

A few days ago Ed Peoples, jr.
was out hunting, not far from his
fathers house and found a large
rattle-snake, The young lad first
discovered the snake by its raising
its head. He shot the snake and
killed it and did not know it. But
it had a mate and made fight at
him and started towards him, This
frightened the boy and he returned
to the house for reinforcement,
The writer and the boys father
joined him and returned in serch
of-the snakes.
But after returning we could not
find the exact place. After a dill
gent serch we found them again
by one raising its head. After
killing it, the writer armed him
self with a good light-wood limb
and began searching and soon
found the third of the snakes.
After we had killed this one we
were looking at the first we shot
after returning, and found two,
one being already dead, we sup
posed to be the one the boy killed
when he shot the first time.
There being three grown snakes
we began looking around and
found that it was a rendezvous
where they had come to raise their
young. We found sixteen wee
snakes and thinking we had killed
them, we departed.
The next day we went back and
found the young snakes still alive
and ready to do the deadly work
they were created to do. But we
Immediately put an end to their
lives. There were nineteen snakes
in all, and Lonesome Jack must
say that it was the biggest snake
killing he ever participated in, and
the most dead snakes he ever saw.
We left the place where these
snakes were killed almost afraid to
step, but returned safely to the
house, Each promised to be more
careful hereafter while travelling in
the rough woods.

An Insidious Danger

One of the worst features of kidney
trouble is that it is an insidious disease
and before the victim realizes his danger
he may have a fatal malady. Take
Foley's Kidney Cure at the first sign Of
trouble as it corrects irregularities and
prevents Bright's disease and diabetes.
