Rattlesnake Comes to Town.

Here is another rattlesnake story
for you. Young Cough, who drives
the Grand Hotel bus, went out last
Thursday to hitch up and in the
weeds a few feet from the kitchen
door heard the buzz of a rattlesnake.
He secured a rake and with it
brought to view and dispatched the
reptile, which was about three feet
long and had six rattles and a button.
A rattlesnake meandering around in
the business center of city of 5000
population! That's astonishing, amt
it? The snake certainly couldn't
have been around that neighE,rhood
very long without being discovered.
We have heard it surmised that his
snakeship was brought to the feed
barn near by in load OF hay or straw
and this may be the explanation. OF
course this startling occurrence
shows the necessity of having a good
supply of snake medicine handy and
we presume the mail order houses
are experiencing a boom in trade Ii
is well to be prepared.-Allamakee

Made Him Cheese" The b. V. DIS

Made Him Cheese" The Ii. V. DIS,
The mayor of Grand junction, our
old and tried friend Butch" Metz
gar, is getting a trife finicky and
particular in his old age. The other
day three young "bloodS' from San
Francisco were travelling through
that city in big Packard, and stop
ped at the Dutton well on Main
street for water. One of them sprang
out of the car to the pump, dressed
in exactly natures garb and nothing
else on earth but suit of B. " DIS.
In this negligee attire the 'sporI"
was having very pleasant sailing
through Iowa's champion corn wea-
ther-except that Butch didn't like
the makeup. You know there's al
ways somebody taking the JOY out OF
life and Butch is one Of them. He
came along just as the B. V. d. artist
was STOPPING over TO drink. The
place made for mothers slipper was
prominently slanted toward the con-
stellation of the Great Bear, where
upon Butch uncoupled and spread
out his mighty right fin, as big as
that of a sperm whale, and with a
sweep as timber as mules leg, he
{ landed on the posterior process with
a sound that reverberated clear to
Rip Van Wrinkles Catskill couch.
The front of the B. V. DIS. went 10
grass-or rather dust-and, upon
recovering the inotorist gdzed fixedly
about the region to locate the mule
III choice but forcible United States,
Butch pointed silently to the delin-
Quent pants hanging over the seat of
tie car, and ga e the young blood
just two flashes of lightning to en-
case himself therein-which was
done. AS the car pulled up the
