A Snake Story from Kentucky*
[Merchant Traveller.]
"Want a gob of snake news freak from tin
ficldsf inquired a long coupled Kentuckian,
doling up to the editor’s desk and dropping
hi« hat over the cuspidore.
"Yes, if it’s reliable.”
•Don’t forgit yourself, mister. Pm tellin
thi* story, and if you think I lie, Jos’ say n<
in that many words, an’ I’ll go aud git tin
lioctor,’’
"No, thanks; 1 guess I won’t need his scr
vim. Go on with the news.”
"All right You soe, yesterday inornini
1 went out to the bani, an' over in the tatei
patch jis beyant I heard n rustlo like, and :
<T*»p’ up to see what it was. I peekw
through the cracks in the fence an’ in a littli
clear spot I seen the allflredest big sunk)
and a rat about as big as a tom cat fightin
like dogs and cats. Both were spritely am
in fustrate repair, and neither wua gottin
the best, till all of a sudddint like the snaki
made a grab and swallowed the rat slicked
Kinase.”
He stopped a minute to see the effect ol
hi* story on the editor, but that hnrdoiux
• riininal carelessly inquired:
"Is that alii” 1
"No, by thunder, it ain’tl” he exclaimed
bringing his big hand down on the table.
"I kind o’ felt a pity fur the anako and lei

went back agin, an* what do you think I

"The snake, I suppose.”

I said, as 1 saw him coine in as usual !
yesterday afternoon, what have you j
got in there this time?' ‘Xawthin* but
j a bean,’ he drawled. Oh, yes, 1 took it
! out.
I “But I recently met with tho most re- *
I markable caso of that kind in twonty
• years’ practice. A young woman of 2J1 j
j came in so deaf that I could hardly |
i make her hear by shouting; through a
j trumpet. After removing a great
quantity of wax from her ears I found
i something metallic.
| ** ‘Wlmt’s this,’ I said, ‘have you beeu
putting something in your ear?’
! “ 4 Oh, doar, no,’ she said, *1 am not so
foolish as that.’
j “Imagine her surprise when I pulled
j out a smooth, round brass button, with
• ‘PH*® a large shank to it. ‘This seems
j to have been in there a great many
i years,’ I said. To my surpriso the
! yonng woman crouched in the corner in
I undisguised terror.
i “ ‘Oh, doctor,’ she said, ‘what is that
awful noise?’
“ It was nothing but a wagon rumbling
by, but I instantly saw what the trouble
was. Her hearing had become normal
when I lmd removed that button, and
she was frightened and bewildered at
the jumble of confusing sounds. The
ticking of tho clock, chirping of the
canary, or dripping of water distressed
her, and tho rustle of her own silk
dross made her start with fear. 1 sent
one of tho assistants home with her ii
a carriage, aud he said that tho clatter
in tho street so distracted lier that h*»
was compelled to hold her in her seat.
About a week afterward she came in
again—”
“And wanted the button put back, 1
suppose,” interrupted tho reporter.
“Oh, no, she was brimming over with
happiness, though for a day or two she
was afraid to leave tho house. But r.he
told mo all about that button. ‘When
I was about 8 years old,’ slio said, ‘I
was sent to a village church in New
England with my grandmother. Tho
sermon was always long and tiresome,
and I used to amuse mysolf by pulling
at the brass buttons oti my cloak. Ono
of thorn came off ono Sunday, and I
occupied myself for a tiino with putting
it in my ear and shaking it out again.
Suddenly I felt it sink away in there
and I could not get it out. I was afraid
to tell my grandmothor at tho time,
and soon afterward forgot it. At 10
years of ago I began to grow deaf and
have been getting worso over siuce, but
I never once thought of that button
until you removed it.’”
"Do grown people,” asked tho re
porter, "ever come to you with things
in thoir ears?”
"Frequently, but in most cases it is
through no fault of their own. I know
oue man, a butcher, who comes here
regularly iu tho summer time to have
ffies removed from l\is ears. I have
taken ont six nt one time for him. How
ever they get there 1 don’t know. He
says they fly in; but they don’t fly out.
I’m sure of that. A man called me out
of bed ono night to get a Croton bug
out of his ear. Now, a water bug will
never back. He must either turn
around or go straight ahead. This fel
