SNAKES WITHIN A SNAKE

C. b. Dyche, a rural mail carrier of
Virginia. had a thrilling experience
In the foothills of the Blue Ridge.
His route lies through a mountainous
section noted as the abode of many
species of snakes, and late In the
afternoon Dyche reached the serpent
stricken territory and noticed a large
moccasin basking In the sunshine.
He determined to put into execu-
tion mental threat he often had
made before to exterminate the coil
ting denizens of the infested place, SO,
disnOunting from his vehicle he sc!
lected monster moccasin for his
initial battle. Seeing the approach of
an enemy, the reptile made dart for
crevice in the rocks. but the Gus.
todian of Uncle Sans affairs was too
quick and caught the reptile midway,
cutting 1t in two.
To his horror, reptiles by the score
began to pour from the separated
parts of the snake and began to
squirm and wiggle around the barrier.
In front. behind and ON either side
were moccasins. and he soon saw It
was battle which would terminate in
kill or being killed. He determined
TO sell his life dearly and gave no
quarter, and when the battle ceased
the carrier had twenty-four and one
half snakes to his credit. He says
the half snake that sought shelter in
the rocks still is living.

In view of the recent talk ABOUT
limiting the size of libraries by de-
stroying the rubbish, it IL interesting
TO remember that Napoleon once tried
to make list of all the books in the
world which were worth preserving.
He believed when he sat down to his
task that a thousand volumes would
suffice; but the list grew under his
hands and ultimately included three
thousand volumes. Even SO, however,
there were omissions Of which Lord
Rosebepy and Mr. Edmund Gosse, as
well as the general reader, would have
been likely 70 complain. When the
emperor came to look over his first
list, he found that he had unaccount.

Her Credit Was Strained.

A young country merchant who had
something of reputation for close
figuring was especially attentive to the
village schoolmaam. The young
woman had sweet tooth and was not
at all retiring about making the fact
known. Accordingly. she limited to
her admirer that box of chocolates
would be greatly appreciated on the
occasion of his next visit Later the
suggestion was repeated and again
duly heeded. The third time the sub
ject was preached, however. the dis
penser of sweets turned a deaf ear to
the entreaty.
