SNAKES FOR BEDFELLOWS.
A XaUnlM’* Startling Adventure in the
Mountains of North Carolina.
“Talking of snakes," said to a St.
Louis Globe-Democrat man, “reminds
me of an experience I had last autumn
among the mountains of North Caro-
olina. I had tramped about all day
making sketches and collecting speci
mens for my herbarium, and night
found me a considerable distance from
my house. The weather was frosty,
and I built a big wood fire, and, rolling
myself up In my overcoat, lay down be
fore it. Toward morning the fire died
down and I grew chilly and awoke. 1
started to rise for the purpose of re
plenishing the fire when I found a
large rattler coiled on my bosom. The
motion awoke him and he raised his
head and pat his vicious rattle in mo
tion. His head was within ten inches
of my face, so I concluded not to get up
just then. I closed my eyes and lay
still as death for what seemed an age,
then cautiously opened them, lib
snakeship was asleep. With a sudden
bound I sprang to my feet, throwing
my unwelcomed visitor among the em
bers. Great soott, what a rumpus he
did kick up! Instead of trying to get
out he showed fight and whipped the
coala rh«I ashes around at a lively rate.
I didn’t enjoy the circus much, how
ever, because another anake waa spring
ing his rattle in my immediate neigh
borhood and I couldn’t locate him. 1
Jumped here and there and stared about
me, but all to no purpose, and I began
to wonder if in my sleep I had inad
vertently swallowed a rattler and he
was getting np an alarm in my inter
nal economy. Presently I caught sight
of the critter. He waa hanging one-
third of his length out of my overcoat
pocket and looking for a good place to
plant his poison. You have seen the
lightning-change artists at variety
shows get out of their toggery? Well,
they are not a marker to the way I
shucked that overcoat. I let the snake
have it, and went down the mountain
and sat on a gum stump and shivered
with cold and apprehension until morn-

WALLS A CENTURY OLD.
The Watt* House Was Bsfsa Owe Osi
Hundred Tuan Axe.
The corner stone of the white house
was laid on October IS. 1702. a little
lesa than three hundred years after the
discovery of America by Columbus.
The commissioners had on the previous
March 14 advertised tor plans -for a
president’s house, and on July -W .they
held a meeting in Georgetown and ex
amined the plans that haul been sub
mitted. As it is part of local history
now they accepted the plan of James
Uoban, a Dublin architect, who had
made designs for the house, framed, it
is said, on the model of the mansion o!
the duke of Leinster, at Dublin, ths
palace of royalty in Ireland. The
stone, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat, waa in part quarried at Aquia
creek and brought to a new wharf,
built for the purpose, near the foot of
Seventeenth street, but obstinate David
Burns, as Washington called him, re
fused to allow the wagons to pass over
his ground in carrying the atone to the
alto of the white house, lie abused Mr.
Hoban roundly, and if the city hall had
been built and the present legal
fashions then prevailed he would have
got out an injunction; but it is doubtful
if there waa then a judge nearer than
Upper Marlboro or Annapolis,’ so,
despite Burns’ opposition, the stone waa
carted through his place and the whits
house rose. No memorial of the cere
monial of laying the corner stone has
been discovered. It is certain that.the
Virginia free masons, who had in 1791
laid one corner stone in the District of
Colombia, and who in 1793 assisted in
laying the corner stone of the capttol,
did not participate in laying the corner
stone of the white house. It was prob
ably laid by Maryland masons. The
building began to rise, however, and in
right years was ready for occupancy.
The donations of Maryland, 372,000, and
of Virginia, 9190,000, assisted to pay for
it, and in April, 1800, four months after
Washington’s death, congress appropri
ated 915,000 to pay for- its furniture.

“Miss Sharp paid you a compliment
the other day, Cholly.”
“Aw, indeed? Let me heah it, me

“We were speaking about you, and,
in answer to a remark she made, I said
you were not so big a fool as you
looked, and she said she hoped not."
“Haw, haw, she said that, did she?
