The Snake Story Season Closes.
In Central Dakota, on Hie “Mis
souri bottoms,” there exists one
of nature s strangest freaks. The
settlers term it the “pump snake."
How it came there or where it
came from is yet unknown. Il
first made its appearance in Em
mons county in the spring of '86.
A full grown pump snake meas
urcs about sixteen feet in length
and about three inches in diame
ter. They are of gregarious hab
its, roaming over the prairies in
large herds, as many as 300 hav
ing been counted in a single flock.
In dissecting one of these rrptiles
there is found a tube which ex
tends from the roof of the jaw to
the extremity of the tail and ter
tuinaling in an opening.
' lube is about two inches in diam
: eler and lined with a tough sub-1
| stance, similar to rubber. The
pump snake is easily trained to
answer the call of man. The in
! habitants in this section trap
them in large numbers.
A farmer on Cat Tail Creek has
a flock of twenty pump snakes
trained l* a remarkable degree ol
proficiency. At the blast of a
whistle the snakes assemble on
the banks of the creek. The lead

herd of these snakes, who is elect

of Baltimore and Exeter streets,

was handsomely attired in a dark
dress and bodice. Her conversa
tion was particularly bright and
flowing. The lady after being of
fered a seat, stated that site de
sired to make arrangements for
llie burial of a lady friend wbo
was not yet dead, lint who was ex
pected to die. She finally said it
was her twin sister. A catalogue
was shown her, but none seemed
to please her. She finally asked
to be allowed to see some samples,
and was accommodated. During
llie conversation the lady said:
"And bow wonld you like to
bury me?"
"You are not dead,” remarked
Mr. Siicnce, witb surprise.
"Yes, I am, but you see I can
talk. The doctors can do nothing
for me, and I have been tbiaking
of Ibis thing in a_serious way for
several months.” She finally re
quested to be measured. She
measured five feet and between 6
and 7 inches,- or at least would
lake that size casket. While
walking around she said she was
determined to be placed in a cas
ket ami buried. Her family bad

I one as a witness but the underta

ed no shroud or flowers, and was
willing to pay $500 to any respon
sible undertaker wbo would carry
out her wishes.
Mr. Spence showed her a metal
lic casket which seemed to strike
her fancy. Standing alongside of
the heavy receptacle, she, in a
pleasant way. said it was jusljhcr
size. She finally asked Mr.
Spence how long she would have
to remain in the casket before
death, and be said it would lake
about five hours. This seemed
but a moment to her, sud she ssid
she would be willing to stsad the
imprisonment provided s guarsn-
lee would be given that death
would come in this time. The la
dy was anxious for Jtlic ^perform-

was told to return at 3 o’clock yes
terday afternoon, when the final
arrangements would be made. In
the meantime Mr. Spence inform
ed a policeman, who was on band
to see if be could recognize her.
She came as promised, and again
expressed a strong desire lofulGIl
her part cl* the contract. Fur
ihrrmore, she offered $150, then
$200. She also saidjshejhad offer
ed an undertaker in New York

recognized the lady as a former
“resident of East Baltimore street,
and seemed to think she was de

he did not notice anything strange
about the woman's actions, and
she appeared very rational. She
