Two miles out of Memphis a big

a beautiful country road. It was driv-
en by its owner, who. iu order to
make it impossible to identify him.

Half a mile away appeared a light
buggy, drawn by a nervous horse and
driven by a young southerner who
was taking his sweetheart out for a
ride in the soft spring air. When
the horse >pied the approaching auto-
mobile it cut a few didos. Col. Jones
instantly brought his machine to a
full stop as near the side of the road
as possible, there being a deep ditch
on either side the central driveway.
All went well until the horse
reached th auto when apparently Jcn<
out of pure nervousness, it pranced
a little Then the >outhful driver,
anxious to prove to the youn^ woman
at his side that he was master of the
situation, drew his whip and struck

blow. Instantly the animal plunged

Col. Jones was of course, much per-

while the horse tore on down the
road.
"Allow me to take you both back

"No, thank you. said the young
man.
-At least let me take the young
woman back to the city?"
•i could not think of bothering you,
sir!" answered the young lady.
"B u what can I do?" persisted Col.
Nothing at all, sir," said the
young man. raising his hat. ' There s
no harm done at all, I assure you
It will be a pleasure to both of us to

Most farmers, and especially boys,
take trouble to hunt down a snake
when they are really the farmers'
friends Many person will leave a
carriage or team in the road to kill
a snake they see ii|K n the roadside.
Ami as for the' blacksmake that lives
under the house or old porch, it ia a
greater enemy to mice and rats than
i he best cat could possibly be. while
it would not harm an infant in fact,
could be tamed to be very interesting.
Kindness always wins snakes, and
tiny will show it. as perceptibly as
most creatures. A blaclcsnake pet is
more cleanly than a dog or cat. is far

iar call just as quickly, show every
evidence of affection as aincerely. and
if its fangs should scratch the skin

is not so annoying as the scratches

In the armies of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries the custom
of casting lots to decide what soldiers
should he punished for the offenses of
all wa- common. Ai Winchester, Eng-
land. in ItiCi. complaint was made
that after the -ay-render there had
been unfair plundering. Six soldiers
were tried and found guilty and it
was decided by lot which one of the
six should be hanged. At Tangiers in
1GG3. and again in IMS. two soldiers
had to cast dice on a drumhead and
he who threw the least was executed.

a careless countenance, expressing no
fear at deat'i at all. came boldly to
