J 1 4 "No, but Bridget told me about 'em, and we're going to have 'em for breakfast soma time." replied Evelyn. "She said they were food to eat" "I saw one in the brook at Uncle Samuel's once," said Jack. "He was very thin and shiny." "Well, this story la going to be about an eel and a snake. Of course yoo've both seen snakes, and I suppose Jack will be bragging of killing them one of these day a Ion know there art snakes of tome varieties that are fond of the water, and It's rather hard to tell this sort of snake from an eel. When X was about ten years old and my brothers and I uied to go swimming in that creek behind yonr Uncle Samuel's house we often caught eels, and 1 liked them first rate when they were cooked and seasoned well. Sometimes we'd skin them and fry them on a lire we'd build down by the creek, where we Bad a little hat. and then they tasted twice as good as when they were pre pared at home. : ; ; "One summer a distant city cousin named Ben was visiting us, and when B went swimming or fishing or anything we often fooled him on things he was green about because he bragged so much and thought be was so much better than we, being a city boy. He seemed to think we didn't know any tkbag at all. One day in swimming we boys saw something wriggling along In the water which we all thought was an eel at first. We caught it and It proved to be a snake, but we didn't let on to Ben. We let him think it was an el and fine eating, and Be was eager te try how It tasted. We skinned it ) and BOt him tO take It to tha hona to ba MokM tar hla rilnnttr W a harf I servant who didn't know the difference. 8he put the anake In the frying pan and cooked It brown and served It with butter and pepper and salt all done to a turn. We boys were just choking with laughter all the time, but of coarse we never meant Ben should eat any of It. When be was just going to take a bite we told him It was a snake. Ton should have seen how pale be tamed and bow angry he got Maybe It was a little mean, but I don't think we'd have done it if he hadn't been so smart So when you go to the country don't put on any city airs or your friends In the country may get even by playing tricks on you. "And when you're tempted to think you know more than farmers' boys or girls because you're lived in a bigger place just remember about the snake and the eel." By WILUAM T. STEAD, Engll.h Jour ntlUt.
