POOR WITNESS FOR FRIEND
Deacon's Brief Emphatic Testimony
Probably Somewhat Impressed
the Jury.

Deacon Stephen Potter, one of the
pioneers of Utica, n. Y, was a man
of great eccentricity but high moral
character. The deacon will speak
the truth and shame the devil" was
often said of him.
On one occasion a friend was en-
gagged in a lawsuit in regard to some
land few miles from Utica. He held
the land at a high price. During the
trial he called Deacon Potter as a
witness, to prove how valuable the
land was. The deacon was sworn and
asked if he knew the land.
Yes, he replied Il know every
foot of it
What do you think it is worth, Mr.
Potter was the next question
The old man paused a moment and
then said, slowly: IF had as many
dollars-as my yoke of oXen-could
draw-on sled--on glazed ice-l
vow-I would not give--a dollar an
acre for it.'-Youth's Companion.

burglar suspected he was awake. and
holding a revolver at his head, asked
if he were awake. Receiving reply
in the affirmative, the burglar de

his money.

1T doesn't take much of man to
call another liar, when the man ac

The holiness of the hermit's speech
put the burglar off his guard, and
quick as a flash Grub struck the
wrist of the hand holding the re-
volver, which exploded, the ball pass

BY this time the hermit had secured

Veteran Reptile Hunter Says 1t is Bet
ter Than Whisky to Prevent
Death.

Mountainville, n. Ut takes more
than a bite from a dotted adder, one
of the most poisonous of snakes, to
upset the poise of that experienced
reptile hunter, Col Clarke Stanley
Whenever the colonel is bitten he
doesn't shrek for help of send hurry
call to a doctor. Years Of experience
have taught him a simpler quicker
and more effective method
Stanley and his men have been in
camp near Hell's mountain, which is a
great snake country, for several
weeks. adding to his collection of rep
tiles. He came here from Athol.
Mass, where he obtained several
specimens of the dotted adder. One
morning the colonel thought the rep
tile was acting in a peculiar manner.
He attempted to seize it back of the
head to lift it from the cage when Ii
swiftly lodged and then struck at
Stanley. sinking its fang5 into his
right forearm.
The veteran dropped the snake back
into the box and slammed down the
cover. Then he pulled ont his double
edged hunting knife, which he keeps
keen as razor, and cut circle OF the
flesh from the spot the reptile had
struck. Then he applied an antidote
of his own composition, bound up the
wound and went to breakfast.
Stanley did not apply the traditional
whisky antidote. He says he likes an
occasional drink, but he has no faith
In its efficacy in case OF snake bite.
His arm is swollen slightly. but he
says it will be all right In few days.
