the snakes thrive.
There are two seasons when snakes are
most easily caught. One is In April and
May, the other In October and November.
In November the snakes seek their dens
under the rocks In the mountain. and are
In stupor and a half frozen state during
the cold winter months At such times
the hunter does not exactly know where
TO locate the dens.
Ii he should be fortunate to come upon
one he would find the snakes I'm a tangled
bunch. When snakes go to winter quar-
ters they roll themselves into a big ball
resembling large ball OF rope. Thus they
remain all winter. Sometimes there are
as many as a hundred snakes In such a
bundle. and at other times as few as five
or six.
Jones says that II person is bitten in
the spring of the year the poison will not
affect the victim fatally, bgt II bitten as

lar TO be agile. They do some unexpected
and novel feats and with an ease and
grace that wins applause even from those
undemonstrative people who rarely APP
plaud.- The fact that these men appear
very early in the afternoon and evening
Is proof. of how the bill at Keith's this
week groans with good things, for, IL
some of the good things did not have TO
appear early they could easily be given
more prominent position. -

way of presenting his feats of fiexibility.
