Mixed Drinks and Snakes.

The peculiar effects of mixed drinks are numerous and varied. A steady pull at the same old kind only leaves its mark ill the shape of buish-red nose But We have known of mix ture of two or more brands to have peculiar effects. In one it aroused powerful religious frenzy; made an- other believe that a form of type was feather bed: another to look on Rockefeller as a pauper in comparison; many to see snakes from the chicken snake to the sea serpent. However, the peculiarity of mixed drinks is that no two imbibers are affected the same way.
 But we digress. It is not of mixed drinks we would write but of genuine snake story. The Izaak Walton Club of this city is composed of a gentle manly crowd of true fishermen-each member of which wears Father Matthews temperance medal around his neck Four of Messrs. sam Hodges. Rudy klotz, Bob Stevens and Price McDaniel-went to old River last week, and on their return what they lacked in fish stories, they made up in q genuine snake yarn.
 Their boat, the Poon Tang, is built on the scow order-plenty of seats and roomy. Price Mcdaniel was in the bow sam Hodges in the stern, steering, and Bob Stevens and Rudy klotz dis tributed in the center, with Klotz at the oars. Hodges says they pushed from the shore, happy in the antieipa- tion of big catch, when a yell from klotz made the welkin ring Whatever that isl who jumped standing to his seat. He looked in that direction and saw Stevens following the lead of klotZ, and then he saw a huge snake wriggling toward him. With his oar he threw the reptile toward the bow. and just then Mcdaniel greeted them with yell. For awhile the snake was master of the situation, but eventually disappeared under the flooring of the boat, and was killed in time to pre- vent the crew from going overheard. It is not as yet settled as to who was the worst frightened, the snake or the fishermen.
 The peculiarity is that all four men saw the same soake, yet they differ as to it's size and length. One says it was three feet long, another five feet long, the third says it was as long as fishing pole, while the fourth says it was as long as a piece of rope.
 Moral-Beware of ice water and its results.

MT. Q. r. Wolff is still very sick man. Members of his family report his condition unchanged, and enter tain grave fears for his life. His re- cent experience in hotel in Mem phis, where he was overcome and came near being asphyxiated by es- caping gas, is directly responsible for his present condition His lungs are affected and he Is otherwise debiitat- ed to such an extent that 1t is believ- ed he can scarcely recover. The Times hopes he may take a turn for the better however, and finally be re- stored. He has the best of medical attention, and is being carefully nursed by a devoted family.

Since one of the city pastors will
tell us tomorrow evening what is a
good man, the Herald will be pardon
ed for telling you in advance about
one specimen that is not catalogued
among the good, but who is possibly
the most contemplate specimen made
in the shape of a man. Reference is
made to the human vultures who
stand on the street corners in every
town and leer at WON as they come
and go about their business and pleas
ure. These vultures are not confined
to any one community. but are known
and held in contempt the world over.
Their ill-bred stare is an open chal-
lenge to every woman who happens
to pass their way. We never see one
of these scoundrels at his practice
that we do not feel that some good
six-footer should kick him Off the face
of the earth. Not a very nice pro-
Sunday thought, we will grant you.
but a hint to what decent people
think of the street corner masher.
