The Snake and tha Umbrella.
"I spent a pleasant hour with a
traveler," said the truthful man,
"who told a lot of snake stories. I
remember the last of them. It was
about a man who took a nap in the
woods, laving his umbrella on a rock
beside him.
"After awhile it began to rain,
and the man awoke. He was all
wet. He took hold of his umbrella
and opened it hurriedly. It seemed
rather still in going up, and there
was a ripping, tearing sound. Then
a live Uaeksnake fell to the ground,
split in two from its head to its
tail.
"You see, it had swallowed the
umbrella all but the handle, and
the man did rK't notice what had
happened till, putting the umbrella
up, he halved the snake from stem
to 6!crn."
Do you contemplate havinpr any
work done in the line of building?
