NARROWING SNAKE STORY
Naturalist Tells Of His Exciting Expe.
rIence In Taking a Snake Out
of a Bottle.

A naturalist relates in a London pa
ser his experience in taking a snake
,ut of a bottle. He says: Zone Of
he first poisonous snakes l ever pos
Iessed was brought to me in a brandy
bottle, and after twisting and shak-
ng and tapping 1t for IN hour without
wall I grew impatient.
"The tail just then happened to pro,
rude about half an inch, so l seized
t with my fingers, and, rapidly draw
ng the body through the other hand,
lad the reptile safely in my grip, be-
hind his death dealing jaws, now dis
ended with anger.
But the lid Of my snake box was
shut over, and I could not draw it
back with one hand, so I was obliged
to let him slip back into the bottle
lgain.
Having set the box all in order for
he newcomers reception, I once more
sssayed to lay hold of him by the
all; but now, most provokingly, no
amount of maneuvering would bring
hat useful member to the top.
another half hours unsuccessful
angling converted my Impotence into
desperation, and at length, when I

inches from the mouth of the bottle,

Try to secure it.
This was hopeless, as l might have
znown; but it certainly did cool my
spine a little when I discovered on
attempting to withdraw it that my
finger was damned.
Il pulled, wrenched, twisted it with
all my might, but the brute was
raising it's head and its Pickering
tongue was rapidly approaching the
unhappy digit that Involuntary
,orked up the poison.
II gave a final tug, the violence of
which nearly dislocated all my pha.
langes; but it was no use and with

air, intending to smash it on the
edge of my bunk.

mentarily inverted, fall On the end Of
my finger; but as l flung my hand
up the bottle slipped off and fell on

by the time I picked it up the
snake was half way out, kissing flu

box.

ONE THING you CAN'T DO.

You can laugh when trouble hits you
You can smile when clouds appear,
You can grin when worry 'gits you,"
And when disappointment's near;
You can laugh when rain is falling,
II you are a cheerful soul,
But you cannot do much laughing
When the boat begins to roll.
You can bear up under sorrow,
You can calmly shoulder woe,
And perhaps no sign of anguish
VIII your visage ever show;
You may hide all sign of weakness.
though your hopes are in the ditch;
But you cannot hide your feelings
When the boat begins to pitch.
Let the cheer-up poets tell you
10 preserve a cheerful face,
And to smile at all your troubles,
And to never show a trace
OF the petty griefs that fret you;
But you'll lose your s~elf-control,
And you will not smile, I'll bet you.
When the boat begins to roll.

One of the girls, particularly well
gifted, became the object of devotion
of a young swain on an adjoining
farm. She treated HIM nicely, though
not as one in love with him. The
young fellow thought he would like to
marry her, but was a trife bashful
and too modest to propose to her. As
a last resort he took heart and wrote
the following letter to her father:

Have you ever wondered in looking

Mowers advertised Everything else
of like nature is there, such as

carry both of these excellent articles.)
But Lawn Mowers are not exploited
in the magazines 1t remains for the
local dealer to popuIarize his line,
either by liberal use of printers ink or
by attracting attention by low prices.
In factory that pays just wages to

A Letter from 6. A. Fink.

Messers Editors 1T has been many
moons since this scribe, as Georgia
correspondent, contributed his last
efiusion to the Lexington Dispatch. I
am glad to know you have made a
success of your paper, and that tire
good people Of Lexington are 80 nobly
backing you, as you 80 richly deserve.
find much pleasure in perusing your
columns as well as some sadness in
finding chronicled there the departure
of many of my old friends and former
acquantauces, But why should we
be sad ? It's a ebt we all must pay,
sooner or later, and we too will soou
strike hande with our friends who
have "gone before.''
Our old soldier comrades are pass
ing over very fast, I noticed in a re-
cent issue OF the Dispatch that my old
comrade, Henry Kleckley, had passed
over; and you said he was seventy
three years old and a member of Capt.
W. D. N. Harman's company. NY
memory is not as good as it was in my
younger days (have past my rs mile
post) but remember distinctly that
comrade Henry Kleckley, and II I
remember right, his brother Thomas as
Kleckley, also at one time belonged to
the same company with myself, Capt.
a. 81. Caughman's company F., 5th S.
G. Calvery. Possibly they may have
transferred from Capt. Harman's to
our company. I will relate some oc-
curences that I think will convince
you that I am right. Comrade Kleck-
ley and myself were the only two
men detailed to guard McKay's Point
on the night the enemy landed there,
and we engaged them, firing the first
shots in the second battle of Pocatai-
igo. The same night Lieut.. A. O.
Banks. Corporal Jeff. Leapheart and
Pickens Kyzer, ali OF our company,
were captured on picket post on the
opposite side of Pocataligo river. The
boys were not exchanged, if 1 remem-
Der right, until after our command
went to Virginia. I would be so glad
to meet, and greet our old comrades,
most especially those of my old COM
pany. once more, before the final roll
call.
The people of Lexington occupy a
green spot ia my memory and warm
place in my heart. It was her that
gave me, one among her fairest and
noblest daughters for a life compan-
ion, and our dear Lord has been so
good and merciful as to spare us to
good long and happy journey together
even permitting US to celebrate our
golden wedding. on the 10th of the
past February. Yes, He has abund-
antly blessed US, and we hope and
trust He has and will continue to
bless all of our dear friends every
where.
A line from any of you at any time
will be highly appreciated.
