caused the snake to uncol and at
tempt to get into the boat. Believe
me the negro was now "sho nough"
scared and began to feel little un-
easy myself, as we had nothing to
steer the boat with, but knew that
II that negro jumped overheard he
would sink as quick as bag of shot.
SO had to keep my gun and one eye
on the negro and the other eye on the
snake. Our boat got tangled in some
vines and the snake was busy trying
to climb aboard, as he seemed deter
mined to take passage with us. Finally
] got him at the right angle and tore
his head off with a soft nosed bullet
propelled by Dupont's best powder
The snake was now past doing us any
damage but the negro was not salts
fed.
The snake was only partly in the
boat and wanted to keep him for a
trophy, and particularly his string Of
rattlers of which there must have beeu
at least 25 besides the button. A snake
does not quit wriggling as soon as its
head is off, but | knew this and be-
gan to try to get the snake all into the
boat, and had nearly succeeded when
the negro let out a yell which
would have made an Indian war
whoop sound like a nurses whisper.
The negro had really Just Caught
his breath" | thought sure he would
Jump overheard, so | had to again
get into action to prevent him from
doing so, which in the 25 feet of wa
ter and his frightened condition would
have meant instant death. In the
meantime the snake had wriggled
overheard and was sinking head
downward / wanted to get those
rattlers, so | grabbed him by the tail,
but the negro wobbled the boat so
that | lost my 'tail hold" and down
went the snake. got long pole
and finally ''fished" him to the sur
face, but he was still wriggling and
the negro's fear was revived and he
hollered and unbalanced the boat so
badly that let the snake slip away
and again he went to the bottom and
got so tangled in the vines | could not
rescue him, much to the negro's de-
light. The snake was about 9 feet
long.
The negro says he would not go
back into the swamp for all the farms
in the Delta.

readers want another equally inter
testing wild cat story, will try to give

count many of my best friends-with
an account of more than one Of these
interesting experiences. Interesting
at least to me and | hope the one
am going to try to tell you about will
not burden your columns nor bore
your readers.
The water in our swamps, extend
ing for scores of miles, is from IL to
20 feet deep, and it makes the other
wise tall trees appear like scrubs, and
the rifle shot who can't always hit a
squirrels eye from the ground can
plug him every time, now that the
water places us so near the tops of
the trees, and squirrels are as thick
as mosquitoes in the Frankel Flat on
a warm September day. So | have
enjoyed squirrel and wild turkey and
duck shooting from a boat in our
swamps, which are dense with large
majestic trees. The turkey will not fly
far when the swamps have such a
'thick" sheet of water. They seem
to think that they are safe in tree.
| always take one of my plantation
negroes with me on these boating
trips and if there is anything of which
a Delta negro is more afraid thau a
country church graveyard, it is a rat
tlesnake. In fact they are terribly
afraid Of any kind of snake, but of
a rattlesnake they are scared stiff.
Last Thursday | went in the swamps
on one of these hunts and took with
me a typical superstitious Snake
skeery" negro, as black as the ace of
spades. We were getting along
swimmingly and having good luck, and
the negro's appetite was anticipat-
ing several good meals of squirrel and
turkey. | took along one of my rifles
and was to shoot the squirrels only
on the nose, so as not to tear them
up. We found two big juicy black
squirrels in low tree and had shot
the nose off one, which still clung to
the tree. We were trying to get the
other one to stick his nose over the
limb so | could make him "noseless"
too, when | observed something fall
out of the tree which at first thought
was a bad limb. | looked the tree
over and could not discover any dead
or broken limbs anywhere, so my
suspicions were aroused, but | said
never a word to my negro. / had
him push the boat to where | had
seen the limb C?) fall. We had stop.
ped the boat and the negro had his
hand on a sapling about a foo
above the largest rattlesnake | have
ever seen. The snake was coiled around
the Sapling and was nearly all under
water, except its head, but the water
was clear enough to see the entire
snake. Its head was sticking up and
its tongue almost touched the negro's
hand. The negro had not seen the
snake. told him to push the boat
away from the Sapling so as to get
away from the snake. He looked
down and saw that snake almost
sticking its long tongue in his face and
believe me that black negro was
scared white. He was the worst
scared human being ever saw. He
was simply scared wild. He started
to jump overheard, but | put my gun
on him and told him | would shoot
him if he undertook to leap overheard.
But really the negro was more afraid
of the snake than he was ofmy gun,
but he was Just scared stiff. He
dropped the paddle overheard and
the boat bumped into the tree around
which the snake was coiled. This

THE STOCK SHOW

Lewiston citizens took high GROUND
when they passed the word to SpO-
kane that they would not oppose il
in its desire to establish a big live
stock show, taking the position that
all such shows must perforce be OF
great advantage to the livestock in
dustry of the northwest generally.
This is all very nicely said and
done, but Lewiston has contributed
very heavily in the past few years to
the success of the Northwest live
stock show which for climatic rea-
sons has been staged there and it is
a very short-sighted policy on the part
of Spokane to foment any movement
which would tend to lessen the i'm
portance of the Lewiston show. 1t
savors of selfishness, but it is not
believed that the real business in
terests of Spokane are behind the
movement A disgrunt1ed element in
the Lewiston show, residing outside of
Lewiston, very cleverly launched a
similar show at North Yakima and
because of the failure of the show
last winter the North Yakima people
would be glad to unload.
There are not a few Idaho people
who are secretly convincing with the
Spokane bunch to take the Northwest
Live Stock show from Lewiston to
Spokane, if current reports are true,
and it would be we'll for the Lewiston
people to find the 'nigger in the wood
pile" While handing out "salve" to
the Lewiston people, these same OF
ficious Idaho people are said to be
hand in glove with the Spokane ele-
ment. We are opposed to taking the
livestock show from Lewiston and
it is the duty of every loyal citizen
of Idaho to stand by Lewiston in this
matter.

DO YOU FEEL HEADACHY?
LOOK TO YOUR STOMACH

1t is an unusual thing for a drug
gist to sell medicine under a guaran
tee to refund the money if it does not
cure. Yet this is the way R. Hodgins
the popular druggist, is selling Mi
o-na, the standard dyspepsia remedy
Never before has he had SO large
a number of customers tell him that
a medicine has been successful as with
Mona. People who a few months
ago looked like walking skeletons have
put on flesh and today are rudy and
vigorous with perfect digestion and
good health.
There is no longer any need for any
one suffering or making their friends
suffer on account of dyspepsia. Mi
o-na can always be relied upon. The
percentage of cures is so great that
there is little risk to r. Hodgins in
guaranteeing to return the money if
the medicine does not relieve. And
he stands ready to do SO without any
questions.
Headaches, all forms of indigestion,
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings,
and all forms of liver trouble are
helped by Mona. A few days treat
ment should show considerable gain
in health while complete cure often
follows rapidly. 1919
