J!il I 9S& Pi I L INVSSORATOFI THE MASSATJGA SSAXE. i Why Ho Wore Cowhide Soots and Xsnc Gloves. Snake stories are always interest ing, but the reality of a bout with a snake is far from interring to the participant. The rauHsnake and particularly tho mountain rattler figures oftenest in newspaper snake stories. I seldom see the massauga mentioned. Even the books do not speak of it. And yet every pioneer farmer of certain parts of Michigan knows all about it and shudders as the name is mentioned. Ho does not fear the rattlesnake, for the latter givs warning of hi presence, al though I have often at first mist-"0" the s h' '. T iv ;tt!ci oi tue noise of a locust. He can oven endure the sullen and deadly copperhead. But say, "Look out' There's a deadly massauga " to lum, and ho will jump even when standing in his own par lor. A gentleman went from Cleveland many years ago into the then wilds of Southern Michigan. Seeing that he was not getting ahead in the world in tho city he determined to buy a little farm. All his possessions included a little family and a big ar, but he hewed a comfortable compe tence with it. Ho hadn't money enough to buy a team, and farming without a team is like writing with out hands. One day a farmer of comparative wealth said to tho ex Clevelandor: "I will sell you that yoke of stags if you will clear three acres of swamp for me with them." Tho stags were an ugly span of brute3 that ran. away on the slightest provo cation. An honest yoke of oxen are as much superior to a yoke of stags as a horso is to a wild and untamed zebra, hut stag3 are better than no team at all. The farmer seemed surprised when his offer was accept ed. The swamp was a dense growth of high bushes. The stags hitched to a clump of these bushe3 pulled them out by main strength, and usu ally celebrated the accomplishment of the pull by running away with the uprooted bushes. "Better put on cowhide boots and long gloves," said the farmer, grimly, as the ex-Clevelander prepared to enter the swamp for the first day's work. The latter asked why ho needed thoso belongings, but tho farmer refused to answer him. He soon found out. The swamp was literally alive with snakes. There were all varieties, but the most numerous kind was a. short, fat brown snake, saucy and spiteful. Whenever the ex-Clevelander moved about into the fastnesses of the swamp, he would feel something strike his boot legs and look down to behold one of those stubbed snakes darting at him. As he bent over to fasten the chain about a clump of bushes, one of those snakes would strike at his hands and arms protected by heavy gauntlet gloves. Returning home from his first day's work he found his boots and gloves scratched in scores of places by the fangs of those serpents. "What are you doing?" asked a neighbor. "I'm clearing up the Dotyswamp," was the reply. Tho neighbor threw up his hands in horror, and exclaimed: "I wouldn't walk into that swamp, let alone work in it, for a farm. It's full of snakes, mostly mossaugas. Don't know what massaugas are? Well, if one bites you, vou'll know. They are ten times worse than a rat tler, and never give any warning before they strike." A few days later I learned the hor ror with which the farmers regarded the reptile. They were at work in the barn. A little boy was playing just outside the large open doors of a barn where men were "cleaning up" wheat An old lady who was visiting the family was famous for taking snuff from a large brown gutta-percha box in the form of a coil. All at once the bov exclaimed : "There's Mrs. Smith's snuff boxl" and stooped over to pick it up. A pioneer farmer seized the lad and hurled him twenty feet away, and then darted back himself and seized a club. The snuff box proved to be a big brown massauga, coiled up for a spring at the unsuspecting child. It darted toward the boy's rescuer and fought him desperately, but was finally killed. It was a pecul iarity of those massaugas that they would turn up in the most unex pected localities. At last the swamp was cleared. Talk about your brave knights that rode out armor plated to fight their euemic3l The man who reclaimed that swamp was a greater hero than uy of them. More than once a great blue racer a species so cow ardly at times and so brave on other occasions coiled itself about his leg with a constriction so strong as to almost stop the circulation of blood, and darted its horrid but harmless head toward his face. When tho bushe3 had been pulled out and piled up and dried, the fun of burning them fell to me. It was terrible fun. The flames had begun to cweep over tho piles of brushes when three great blue racers camo gliding out toward me. I ran for dear life, and the snakes pursued me. Thev can distance tho fleetest horse, and soon reached me. Then I turned about to give them battle, "when tho cowards glided away from me with a rush. The fire spread. More snakes darted out of the reach of the flames. I procured ft club and mounted a large stump. For more than an hour I stood watch ing the horrible sight. The swamp was bounded on one side by a creek, on another by tho highway, on another by a cultivated field, and on the side where I stood by woods and more swamp. The thick smoke and flames drove all tho snakes in my direction. Hundreds of massaugas darted past the stump. Great rattlers, too, were in the procession, and big black snakes, and any number of Btriped and milk snakes. As the hell of fire would suddenly lick up a brush heap, I could see two or three belated snakes spring up and then writhe in awful contortions in the fire. It was a scene of tho in ferno. Three acres of fire, three acres of writhing snakes' I shall never forget it. Cleveland Plain "Dealer. Tho Limitation, ui Coti5T- In the writings of Goethe, no less than in his life, we see the limita tions which egotism imposes, and which not even his great genius could ever remove. "A man," said Crom well, "never rises so high as when he knows not whither he is going." Al though Goethe would fam follow his intuitions and yield himself to the impulse of tho moment, his very in tuitions had prudence and self-love in them, so firmly implanted that he could never escape from worldly con siderations. But the old belief of mankind is wisest, which declares that the poet's inspiration is greater than worldly prudence, and that tho oracles are sincere. F. B. Sanborn, at Concord. A Dos Rcspnts an Insult. "Lew" Bement's huge, good natured, and intelligent Newfound land, Bruno, was recently muzzled by his master, in compliance with tho village ordinance. After being absent for a short time Bruno ap peared at the shop with the muzzle, whifh ho had in some manner de tached, and, yoing up to the workman who manufactured the article, he laid it down at his feet, and walked slowly away with an air of mingled scorn and injured innocence, which plainly said : "I have no use for such a thing as that." The next nipht the muzzle was again placed upon him, and shortly afterwards it was found, but Bruno, up to the present date, has been missing.
