ENDS
WITH HSNAKE

A small colored boy working
for I. c. I. Evans Nursery, in
Silver Spring, deserves credit for
breaking the drought in Washing
ton and vicinity.
At least that is what the lad
claims. He was watering plants
at the nursery with water brought
from a creek Wednesday when
he discovered a large water
snake in the creek.
The boy excitedly grabbed a
pitchfork and killed the snake.
He Immediately predicted a
break in the drought and hung
the reptile up so passing clouds
could "see" it. A cloudless sky
Wednesday threatened to disprove
his prophecy, but yesterdays
rains backed him up.
The boy firmly asserted that
the death of a water snake is
sure cure for droughts.

Rat Found IL, Wall,

81 Years Ago

FREDERIC K s B URG, Va,
Aug. 15.-Looking into a crevice
between the inner and outer
walls Of the Maury Hotel, which
workmen are remodeling, j. r.
Roach, clerk at the hotel, saw
a rats tail and grabbed it. It
was so natural that he thought
he had caught a live rat.
Roach found attached to the
tail the petrified body Of a rat
which had been encased in plaS-
ter for 81 years.
The rat had evidently been
inside the wall when a chunk
Of wet plaster, which workmen
on the other side Of the wall
were putting on, fell and caught
it. The rats head was free and
