When he picked the hay up he pressed It against the mow to get a better grip on it. and as he did so noticed what he thought was a strap fall against his neck with a very cold feeling. Just then he reached the light, and to his horror found that it was not a strap, but a live copperhead snake that had been caressing h!s Juglar. A copper Is a very quick reptile, but In this Instance Allen landed before his snakeship could strike. Just what happened Mr. Allen cant relate, but the snake is dead, and died so suddenly that Allen's recollections of the windup are very hazy and confused. Mr. Allen says he has had enough copper about his neck to satisfy him for the rest of his life. Moundsville Herald. Sneeze Won His Heart. The expression, "falling in love" Is good.
