Vulture and Rather

An odd battle between a California
vulture and a rattlcsnake was wit
pessed in the Cocopah mountains Of
Lower California 1t was in the early
morning. The big bird had seized tlle
snake behind the head and was strug-
gling upward with it's writhing, deadly
burden. The snakes captor appeared
aware that its victim was dangerous.
The burden was heavy, as the reptile
was nearly five feet long.
Tho grip of the bird on the snakes
body was not of the best. The snake
seemed to be squirming from it's cap
tors talons, at least sufficiently to en-
able it to strike. Its triangular head
was seen to recoil and dart at the
mass of feathers.
1t did this once or twice, and then
with shrek the vulture dropped its
prey. The bird was probably 500 feet
or so above the observers. The as
tonished men We're then treated to a
spectacle seldom seen. Few birds but
a vulture could accomplish such feat.
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches it dropped earth
ward like n shot, and like shot the
bird dropped after it. catching it in
midair with grip that caused death.
At any rate, the snake ceased to wrig-
gle, and the vulture scared away to n
mountain peak to devour its hard
earned meal.

The Distinguished Guest.

Captain Raabe was man whose
hame had weight in the French caval-
ry. He was a tall man. belonging to
the middle aged trooper type. With
military qualities of the highest kind.
he had singular bearing, a savage
sort of misanthropy and cynical
tongue. which stood in the way of pro-
motion. When he was in the Sixth
lancers, on garrison duty at Com
mercy. one of his comrades brought
his father to dine with him at the
officers mess, a man of humble posi-
tion and unprctentiously dressed. Cap
tain Raabe, considering that this
guest had not been fitly received, gave
expression to his opinion, saying that
If the eXecutioner of Commercy had
come in evening dress he would have
had better reception. The officers
demurring, he made no rejoinder, but
shortly afterward came to mess with
a guest whose dress was irreproach-
able. Every one lavished attentions
on the unknown. When dinner was
over Captain Raabe, raising his glass,
proposed the health Of 'the execution
er of Commercy."
