Show The ablest snake story of the season comes from Henderson, Houston County, Ga. It was a race between a fleet-footed dog and a black snake. The dog chased the snake three-quarters of a mile down a lane. "It's a long lane that never turns," and the snake appeared in good spirits. Just at the end of the lane the snake made a sudden turn and found its hole under the bottom rail. The snake went down the hole head first, when the dog seized it by the tail. The snake was prepared for the emergency, and gave up its outside covering or skin, which peeled off as easily as the skin of a roasted potato. po-tato. It is supposed that the snake suffered, suf-fered, no inconvenience from the loss of its outside covering, as the shedding season had arrived. |
