VuIture and Rather.

An ODD cattle between California
vulture and a rattlesnake was wit
messed n the Cocopah mountains OF
Lower California. 1t was in the early
morning. The big bird had seized the
snake behind the head and was strug-
gIfng upward with it's writing, deadly
burden. The snakes captor appeared
aware that its victim was dangerous.
The burden was heavy. as the reptile
was nearly five feet long.
The 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 recoiI and dart at the
mass of feathers.
1t did this once or twice. and then
with a shrek the vulture dropped it's
prey. The bird was probably 500 feet
or so above the observers The as
tonished men were then treated to a
spectacle seldom seen. Few birds but
vulture could accomplish such a feat
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches it dropped earth
ward like 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 a
mountain peak to devour its hard
earned meal.

St. ]. A. Girls the Winners.
Defeated the Littleton High School Team at
Basket Ball by Score of 20 to 10.

Friday night was one of many
attractions in various places but one OF
the biggest drawing cards proved to be
the basket ball game at the Y. NJ. c. A.
between the young women OF LlttIeton
High School and those who have SO ably
represented ST. Johnsbury Academy
during the season. The latter won 20
to be the best exhibition of this popular
indoor game seen here in long time.
The game was delayed for some time,
first on account of the visiting team
missing their train, and later when
prying reporter was found secreted be-
hind one of the lockers. Nearly the
entire official force of the school and
Y. Nd. c. A. were called upon to remove
him. while the crowd cheered him with
such pleasant suggestions as call the
police" throw him out" and Lynch
him." After this episode the whistle
sent the fair ones into action and for the
next thirty minutes spring styles were
forgotten in battle royal. At the end
of the first period ST. J. A. had their
opponents down to o and they man
aged by some of the cleverest passing
and shooting ever seen on the floor to
keep this lead and even increase it before
the time-keeper's whistle sounded time.
Every one on the local team comes in for
deserving praise. the Misses Ellis and
Porter worked the floor in good shape
ann their passing was marvel and a
puzzle to the visitors. The forwards
were equal to any opportunity for a shot
as the score indicates and Miss Eliason
in center started most of the plays
that finally resulted in baskets and
the victory. For Littleton Miss Nc
Carthy, Miss Colby and Miss Smalley
made a hit with the ''fans" and played
the game with a vim. Summary:

Phonev Mistake.

''The mistakes that occur through

house. land some of them are as
amusing as the others are annoying.
The last one l had happen to me was
rather curious. My sister-in-law is

her house The maid told me she had
left word to call her up at certain
number which l thought | had right
I called it and asked for Drake. They
said there was no such person there.
Then l wanted to know what place it
was. The man at the other end said
it was poultry store. and he didn't

The DISTINGUISHED Guest.

Captain Raabe was a man whose
name had weight in the French caval-
ry. He was tall man, belonging to
the middle aged trooper type. With
military qualities of the highest kind,
he had a singular bearing, a savage
sort of misanthropy and a 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, man of humble posi-
ton and unpretentiously dressed. Cap
tain Raabe, considering that this
guest had not been fifty received. gave
expression to his opinion, saying that
if the executioner of Commercy had
come in evening dress he would have
had a 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."
