Show A cowboy up in-Montana a day or two ago saw a snake crawl into in-to a hole. He went forward and caught the . reptile by its hind quarters. Unfortunately f jr his phn s'cal well heing, the front portion of his snakeship just then emerged i' m the hole and buried its fang; in his hand. The fact that he k il ;d the snake !was very little satisfaction after the poison was secreted, and while there is now one snake less in the world, there is also a cowboy lying deathly ill in a Montana hospital with a considerable con-siderable portion of bitter experience ex-perience added to his career and a goodly meed of common sense of the "horse" variety stowed away for future use if he recovers. re-covers. The obvious moral is, that it is only safe to dally with the genus reptile that has a peculiar pe-culiar button shaped affair attached at-tached to his nether end, when you are in possession of a ten foot biich club. |
