"I wish to' froodnesa," said the man
from over Kinnemahoninjr way, "that
I could remember haH what my father
used to tell about snakes. I really do.
I do indeed. I suppose that if my
father had been telling' about snakes
that lived anywhere else except on the
Sinnemahone spread I could have re
membered everything. Hut, Lord! It
would take a man with nine memories,
every one of 'em phenomenal, to re
member even a little bit of what them
sinnemahoning snakes did, because
they did so much. They were always
doing; something, and doinij it well. I
wish somebody would simply give me
an inkling of what there is in that Sin
nemahone atmosphere that makes
things have so much more snap in
them than things have anywhere
else on top of earth. Even grasshop
pers." Now, I know heaps of places
where there is twenty times more grass
than is on the Sinnemahone. As for
that, Sinnemahone doesn't run particu
larly to grass. We slash out a good
many hooj poles, and we peel consider
able of bark. We do a little in the
maple sugar way, and our 'taters ain't
few to the hill. But we don't brag on
our grass. Then why should grass
hoppers Beem to like to settle down
with us so much, and get to be so over
powering smart among us? I give it
up. I don't know. But to prove to
you that they do. I'll tell you some
thing. I don't pretend to explain these
things, mind yon. I simply give. you
the facts.
"Vou know, of course, that there
ain't any better bait for trout along
late in the season than grasshoppers.
Our Sinnemahone grasshoppers know
that well, and I want to tell you that
it's a hard matter to'run one down and
catch him when you want to go fish
ing. But I used to manage, by various
slick bits of strategy, to get enough to
fish with, but it was hard work, and so
I was delighted one day, being over to
the county seat, to see in a store an
artificial grasshopper, with a hook
concealed about it. The grasshopper
was as natural as life, and I saw at
once that there wasn't any use of my
pitting myself any longer against our
smart Sinnemahone grasshoppers to
get bait, when I could use the artificial
grasshopper to fool the trout with, and
1 bought it. It worked to a charm. I
think the trout went for it better than
they did for the real thing, for I have
an idea that they knew how smart our
Sinnemahone grasshoppers were, and
were kind o' fraid of 'em. I used that
imitation grasshopper with great suc
cess. "I had a tame trout in a spring near
my house. It had been in the spring a
year. It was a big one. I had caught
it one day on a Sinnemahone grass
hopper, and as the hook hadn't hurt it
much I put it in a pail of water and got
it home alive and active. I put it in
the spring and it lived and thrived. A
funny thing was that the grasshopper
I caught the trout with wasn't killed
by the trout nor by the hook, lieint:
"o '"lii a .uua toe ki'ussiiopper
off the hook and tossed it on the
ground. It moved away, but was
minus one leg. Its eyes were just as
bright as ever, though, and aa I re
member it now, it kind o' shook its
head and looked volumes as it limped
away, headed straight for my place. 1
don't kno.v where that crippled grass
hopper wintered, but when warm
weather came next year I give you my
word that grasshopper waa the first I
saw on my place. It was perched on a
saw horse iu my bade yard. I recog
nized it at once, bnd it seemed to rec
ognize me, for it shook its head and
had u queer look in its eye as it limped
on one leg along the strv horse, tum
bled off and stumped awny.
" 'As long as I've got a place,' said I,
'that grasshopper has aclaim on it, and
anyone that hurts that grasshopper
must settle with me!'
"Well, sir, that grasshopper hung
around the place, and hobbled about
In a melancholy sort of way. but al
ways with that queer look in its eves.
Every time it met me it settled down
and shook its head, spit tobacco Juice,
as grasshoppers will, and stumped on
Its way. 1 know now that that grass
hopper had vengeance on IU mind, and
was only biding its time.
"This was the season I pot the
artificial grast-popper. I frequently

Just doted on graaihopirra, and I was
fearful teat this poor crippled one
might tumble in the spring and thus
give up the rest of Haelf to the fiw that
had larrrfl il of its leg.
"One day I had been fishing with my
artificial graaahopper. I rime in, took

easily have saved the trout.
" 'But no!' I said. 'It is but retribu
tive justice! Let it stand!'
"In a short time the trout was dead.
The crippled grasshopper hobbled off
of the stone and disappeared. I never
saw it again. Will somebody give me
an inkling of what there is in that
Sinnemahone atmosphere that makes
things have so much more snap in them
there than things have anywhere else
on top of earth? Even grasshoppers.
Will some one 6imply give me an ink
ling?" Not even the man in the red, blue,
piuk, yellow, green and purple mack
inaw jacket seemed capable of utter
ance, and the man from Sinnemahon
ing way had to go without his inkling.
"Oh, yes! Snakes!" said he, sud
denly brought to himself. "Lord! 1
wish my father was herel But he isn't;
Lie couldn't be, very well. lie left the
banks of the Shinnemahone for the
same of Jordan, some years since. My
father was a fiddler, and if he is play
ing the harp half as well as he played
the fiddle, he isn't taking a back seat
for anybody on the other shore, and
I'll bet on it! And how he could tell
about snakes! It's a shame the way I've
forgot most of the things he used to
tell me about 'em, but I remember one
that may strike you as a tolerable fair
showing as to what Sinnemahone
snakes were able to do in the days o.
my father, sinnemahone snakes are at
the head of the serpent race yet, of
course, but in those days they had the
benefit of my father, and they simply
shone.
"The blowing adder was always a
big favorite with my father. The blow
ing adder, you know, is that interest
ing snake that has the faculty of flat
tening out its head to about four times
its natural size, then puffing it up, and
then blowing a small gale from its
mouth for a few seconds. I never knew
just what they gained by doing all
this, but they do it, and that's enough.
The blaeksnake was another snake ray
father liked, but somehow they never
liked him, but they feared him, and
when he wanted to use 'em they
knuckled right down and were used.
"Once my father had a pet blowing
adder and a blaeksnake thut he wanted
to be a pet, but which had a feeling
against being one, and just wouldn't.
It didn't dare to rebel altogether,
though, and learned the tricks my
father taught it, and did them, but
kicked like a steer all the time. The
blowing adder, on the other hand, was
fonder of the old man than a cat of
her kittens, and never lost a chance to
show it. One of the tricks my father
taught the rebellious blaeksnake was
to take a match in its mouth, reach
back and scratch the match on its scaly
side, and then rise up on its tail and
light father's pipe as he held it in his
mouth. It was a neat trick, and used
to please father next to knowing that
the little jug with the corncob stopper
in it wasn't empty.
"Whenever father went to his cabin
In the woods for a hunt he always took
Jehosaphat and I'rudence with him for
company. .lehosnphat was the blaek
snake and Prudence was the blowing
adder. Once, w'hile out on one of these
trips, father was taken sick with rheu
matism in his cabin, and lay on his
bed of straw, unable to move hand or
foot. Jehosaphat cheered up and
got chipper at once.. He tumbled all
over himself, father used to say, he
felt so good. And he felt more than
that. He had murder in his heart
While fnther lay there helpless the
wicked snuke took a match In his
month, glared like n fiend in father's
face for a moment, atruek the mulch
on hi side. Just the way the old man
had taught him, ami then ilelilierately
set Hie to the straw on which my father
lay helpless. With one more ilrndiah
glare at my father Jehoaaphat lied
from the cabin.
"Imagine my father feelings lying
there unable to move, and that fire
creeping slowly toward him: lie saw
110 eacape from a horrible death. Hut
he didn't know I'rudcuce, the blowing
adder. That loving snake woke from
nup In her corner, and soon saw the
aw ful danger my father was In. She
dashed over to the burning straw, flat
tened out her head, and w ith one tre
mendous puff blew out the blaie."
"Mnnemahone:" exclaimed the man
In the red. blue, pink, yellow, green
and purple maekmaw jacket, "let me
tell ye sumpln"! That blowln' adder
mowt a blowed out that blate, but
there ain't no Mowin' adder, nor sweep,
