T)ie Way Hank Dunham Tried to
Drill Virtue Into All FiUe County.
By Edwin Webster.
(Copyright, 1900, by S. S. McClure Cos.)
"Hank Dunham always went from one
extreme to the other,” said Deacon. Todg
ers In reminiscent tones. "When he was
leading a sinful, but joyous life, he tried
to keep all the distilleries working over
,., After he got religion and became
>r in the Pike County Citizens' Sun

his hand of Intelligent, but worldly mind
ed blacksnakes. That’a why Hank has
,alien hack into the ranks of the un
godly. and is mourning the loss of the
easiest snap In the money making line
a Pike county farmer ever stacked up
against.
"One day this spring Hank came over
to my house with the air of a man who
has made a discovery that will send his
name thundering down the ages.
■' I see by a city paper,’ observed Hank,
earnestly, 'that there Is a big demand for
rattlesnakes, or rather, for rattlesnake
oil and rattles, both of which it is con
trary to the rules of etiquette
to collect from living and ac
tive rattlers. Now, if a man only sup
plied the market with a sufficient quan
tity of these necessary, If not ornamental,
articles, he could made a barrel of money,
and make it easy.
'■ 'That's true of pretty nearly every-

thing, from goldbrlcks to diamonds,’ 11
observed in my sarcastic way. 'But, ;
while I don’t want to dampen your ar- •
dor for easy money, I have my doubts '
as to the success of any missionary
scheme for persuading Pike county rat
tlers to enter a snake heaven that you
may use their physical remains to in
duce a deluded public to part with its
coin.’
“Hank looked quite grieved at my re
marks.
" ‘l’m not proposing to conduct a cam
paign among local rattksrwkes on the
comforts of life beyond the grave,’ he
replied in a remonstatlng sort of way,
nor do I plan to wear out my already
weary legs by chasing over hills and
dales. My scheme is to get a lot of
snakes trained to do my hunting for
me.’
’’ 'A blacksnake Is the natural enemy
of the rattler,' I said, in a doubting man
ner, ‘and always looking for trouble in
that direction. My own relations with
blacksnakes have always been friendly,
though not cordial. I don’t want to say
"Oo forth!’’ he said to the snakea.
a word against any respectable black
snake. But at the same time I am mighty
doubtful about any blacksnake turning
over to you the results of a raid on some
happy rattlesnake family. Among the
many virtues of blacksnakes I never heard
impulsive generosity mentioned as the
moat pronounced.’
" ‘But I propose rendering an equiva
lent for any assets in the way of rattle
snake corpses turned over <o me by an
industrious bnacksnake,’ said Hank, sort
of impatient like. 'Suppose I should do
a favor for Tom Haswell, who runs the
tavern. What would I expect in return?”
" 'All the drinks Tom would stand for,’
I answere promptly, for that was in
Hank’s unregenerate days.
" 'Yes, yes,’ replied Hank, hastily. ‘And
If I was bitten by a rattlesnake I might
be tempted to hunt for the same thing.
Now, the blacksnake hasn’t the qualities
that make him popular at a social gath
ering, but It Is rattlesnake hunters, not
eotlllon leaders, I om looking for. There
Isn’t another animal of his weight that
has the intellectual attainments of the
*' orned and unappreciated blacksnake. A
liking for liquor isn't necessarily confined
to human beings with immortal souls.
It's my opinion there wouldn't be any
• rouble in training a corps of blacksnakes
t>oth to hunt rattlers and to bring the
bodies of their victims to a certain worthy
old man, who would be ready to hand
out a small, but powerful, drink to each
blacksnake who brought him a dead rat
tler. And It's a worthy and charitable
Plan, too, that I'm devising,’ continued
Hank, solemnly. 'For these blacksnakes.

Place where It most benefits man or snake,
trill be protected against bad effects from
•ay bites theY may acquire In their ef
forts to provide me with rattlesnake oil
■nd snake rattles. I may not get any
medals from the Humane Society, but I
tt’jl! certainly deserve them.’
'So Hank gathered a supply of young
blacksnakes and began training them. He
■would put the body of a dead rattler in
front of his snakes, and then by taking
It away from them and puling It to a box
devised for that purpose and then giving
the snakes a bit of fresh meat, he grad
ually drove the idea into their heads that
tattlesnakes were what he wanted. The
next thing was to have his snakes ac
quire a taste for liquor. That was easy,
for the blacksnakes took to booze as In
telligently as a human being would. It
wasn t long before every snake wanted
wh sky and understood that the only way
lee get it was to hand over a rattlesnake
10 Hark. Then Hank judged *hey had the
game pretty well sized up. One morning
he took his corps of able assistants down
to a big ravine where rattlesnakes were
abundant. There he turned his pets loose.
" 'Go forth.' he said to the snakes,
talking as if they could understand him.
'Go forth and show to an admiring coir.-,
munily the results of an education at the
hands of the worthy man who owns you.
Return in triumph, hearing the bodies of
henlghted raitlrs. Then you can enjoy In
placid com for: the drinks that will be
crmlrg to you. Drink for rattlers and rat
tlers for drinks is the rule, and there is
r.o limit to the amount you can cash in.’
"Of course, the blacksnakes didn’t un
derstand all Hank was saying, but they
appreciated the subrtance of his remarks.
Being industrious and thirsty, they work
ed hard all day. At night Hank had an
Imposing pile of rattlesnakes end his p ts
lad an even more ornate collection of
jags. Hank got the oil from th> rattle
snakes and made a collection of their rat
ties to sell to curiosity Seekers. This per
formance was repeated every day that
week, and the market being good for both
ell and rattles, Hank saw himself In a
fair way lo make a barrel of money. Sun
day, after church, I dropped over to
Hank's place. There, under the shade of
a big tree in Hank’s back yard, were his
band of industrious hunters. But, to my
surprise, each snake had a little mug of
beer In front of him, and from which he
took a sip whenever his thiist ea led for
a quencher.
’’ ‘Why, deacon,' said Hank, sort of
amazed Uke, In answer to my questions,
'do you appreciate what day It is? I may
be a worldly man and no fanatic on relig
ious matter*, but I’m too good hearted 10

days every snake Is liberally supplied with
whisky, which la a stimulant. But when
the Sabbath rolls around each snake is
at liberty to He In the shade of his own
vine and fig tree and have his mug of
bedr in peace and quiet. “A merciful man
Is merciful to his beast,” and if to his
beast, why not to his industrious and ap
preciative black snake?’ And Hank’s chest
expanded as he tried to mentally pat him
self on the back.
“Hank's scheme continued to be an un
qualified success, adding to his roll and
causing vacancies among the first families?
of Pike county rattlesnake society. But
the more money Hank made, the thirstier
he seemed to grow. Finally the minister
called and remonstrated against the
amount Hank was drinking himself, and
the way he was pouring good whisky
dowu the throats of his snakes.
“Hank was mightily indignant at being
called down by his pastor.
" ‘lt’s little credit I get In this world
Every work day, the snakes gathered In
Rattles for Hank's benefit.
for the good I try to de,’ said Hank bit
terly. ’I rescue these blacksnakes from
the wilds of Pike county, train them
and give them a mission In the
world, and then am accused of trying
to corrupt their morals. Whisky
doesn't hurt a blacksnake, anyway. It
justs acts as a mild stimulant, and-brings
out all that is best and most lovable In
his nature. And my snakes never work
or. Sunday. It’s a day of rest and moral
! culture for them. Where else in the
county will you find a band of blacksnakes
that keep the Sabbath?'
“The man of God was impressed at this,
but still felt a little doubtful.
" 'Maybe It's all right about the snakes,’
he replied, ‘but I don't approve of your
effort to drink up all the whisky In the
county that your snakes don’t use. I
can't deny that you make u brave at

weight, but the plan Itself Is one I can't
sanction.'
“Hank looked even more hurt.
” 'There's another Injustice.’ he ob
served plaintively. ’lt's In the capacity
of an octopus hunter, and a supporter
of home industries, that I tank up so
elaborately at frequent Intervale. If I

of the trust. But. do I get any credit
for my well intended actions? Not a bit.'
"But the more th* minister thought
over what Hank said, the more doubtful
the good man felt.
“ ’You talk about your snakes keeping
the Sabbath,’ the minister finally said,
decidedly, ‘but your snakes might better
be working than lying about all day guz
zling beer. As for your obsorbing all
the whisky produced by the local distil
lery and so delivering a body blow to the
octopus, you can't do It. For they have
put in a night force at the distillery.’
"Hank didn't make any reply to this,
and for a time continued to live his care
less, worldly minded life. Every work
day the blacksnakes gathered in rattlers
for Hank’s benefit. Each Sunday the
trained hunters rested and enjoyed their
beer in peace and comfort. But <he re
proving words of the man of God haunt
ed Hank’s mind. Finally he stopped
drinking. I approved of this. Then he
joined the Y. M. C. A. and began an en
thusiastic campaign to stop every one else
from drinking. That seemed like run
ning a good thing Into the ground. But
as the Y. M. C. A. people don't want to
drink, anyhow, and worldly minded men
refused to abstain from the cup that
cheers, it didn’t seem as if the movement
was doing much harm. But Hank wasn't
satisfied and Joined the Sunday League.
I remonstrated with him.
“ 'Reform's a good thing.’ I told him,
'A beautiful and Inspiring theme. I
don’t know of any class of address I
would rather listen to than speeches on
reform. As elocutionary efforts, they are
always a success. But when you come to
drag reform luto practical politics there
is apt to be a reaction, which results In
free beer and a bumped reformer.’
"But Hank had turned from the thirsti
est soul in the county to the most rabid
reformer.
” ’Talking about free beer and Sunday
closing,’ he said, decidedly, ‘there is one
reform that is going into immediate ef
fect on my own premises. Hereafter no
idle blacksnakes are going to put in the
Sabbath loafing and gossiping, and drink
ing beer. Through the week they may
have whisky, for they need it to keep
them to their work. But godly counsel
and cold water will he the Sunday por
tion of Hank Dunham’s collection of
trained blacksnakes. They’ve got intelli
gence. and it won’t he my fault if they
don’t acquire religion. For a time their
degraded appetites may clamor for cool
beer, but in the end I will be the proud
possessor of a collection of snakes that
will form the nucleus of a Snakes’ Cold
Water League.’
” ‘ln the end you will he a fool.' I told
Hank, emphatically, for I thought he
was about to try a dangerous experiment.
'But there won’t be change enough In
your disposition to jar you, or attract
attention. Six days in the week these
faithful snakes turn over to you the pro
ceeds of their labors. Cooling drinks and
a shady place to rest in are due them on
the seventh. Your attempt to form a
Blacksnakes’ Christian Endeavor Society
will be sure to result in a strike. And a
strike of trained blacksnakes is a swift
gome to go against.’
"But Hank was obstinate end said he
was going to begin his Sunday reform
movement as soon as the week was up.
“The next Sunday morning Hank's
snakes came out of the box they slept
in and made a bee-line for the big tree,
under which they were accustomed to
rest. Every snake had his own partic
ular place, and each was accustomed to
finding a little mug of beer waiting for
him. This Sunday glasses of Ice water
stood In the place usually, occupied by
the beer. The blacksnakes looked at the
water in a puzzled sort of way. I had
come over to Hank's farm to watch the
success of his experiment.
” ‘lntroduce them,' I observed to Hank
In my sarcastic way. ‘Your snakes and
water are evidently strangers.’
"Hank snarled that the way of the wick
ed was hard and thirsty at first, hut that
the snakes would thank him In the end.
” ’Any emotions of gratitude your
snakes are feeling at the present moment
are admirably disguised,’ I told Hank.
'Blamed If I ever saw a more disgusted
looklng lot of blacksnakes. 1
"AH that Sunday Hank's hunting black
snakes went around in a saddened, but
sulky, sort of way. It was plain they
were angry,but at the same time they were
a good deal puzzled, and not quite cer
tain that Hank was blameable for the
beer famine. When Monday came
they went to work -In the usual
manner. All through the week they
stuck to the game of exchanging rat
tlers for whisky. It was plain, though,
that they weren't entering into their work
with their former spirit. Time after time
two or three blacksnakes. who ought to
have been ardently pursuing elusive rat
tlers, could. be seen with their heads to
gether, evidently holding a confab, at
which the Inalienable rights of black
snakes to Sunday' beer were being dis
cussed. I saw there was trouble coming
and warned Hank.
11 ‘Blue laws are all rights In their
place,' I told him, ‘but even the Filgrim
Fathers never tried to enforce them with
a band of trained blacksnakes. Loving
forbearance Isn't one of the strong quali
ties of your pets. It’s a bunch of painful
experiences that will be coming to you If
you keep on much longer with your Sun
day closing efforts.’
” ‘Those snakes Will live to thank me.'
replied Hank, obstinate like, 'l'm saving
money on the beer and" I have the addi
tional rewfTrd of an approving conscience. 1
"Sunday morning the blacksnakes came
out of their sleeping box and plkrd right
over to where their beer mugs had for
merly stood. Only pure water was coming
to them. This time the snakes seemed cer
tain Hank was the person to blame for
the thirsty state of affairs. They held a
little conference. Then the whole bunch
trailed over to where Hank was standing.
They rang and th- mselves In front of him,
lifted up their heads In an lnqulilng man
tv r. and a persen didn't need to he a stu
dent of the snake language to under*
s'and that they wtre asking where their
b'er was Hank pointed to the water. Not
a snake moved. Then Hank grabbed a
stick and b'gan striking si his fa thful
workers The snakes ducked hack to th ir
tree, but'actln* In a mighty sullen man
ner. Hank thought things were nettled
and started to go to church.
“ ’For once.’ 1 told him. ‘you had bet
ter restrain your relialous Impulses and
slay away from divine service. If I know
anything about snakes your former faith
ful pets are meditating revenge And from
what I have l'arn'd about the strenglh
and disposition of full grown blacksnakes
I am willing to give big odds that they
will meet with succtSt In their natural.
If unchristian, attempt.’
"Hank replied impatiently that his
snakes were only sulky and would scon
get over that. So oft he started for church
and Sunday School.
"When Hank returned home there
wasn’t n sign of a blacksnake about the
place. Feeling sort of worried Hank went
right to the storeroom in which he kept
his valued coliecilon of rattlesnake oil
and rattles. A full blacksnake Is a power
ful animal for his weight, and does a good
job when he Is out for revenge. Hank’s
storeroom looked as if it had been dally
ing with a cyclone. Every bottle of rat
tlesnake oil had been hauled off the shelf
and smashed on the floor. The room was
littered with pieces of the rattles that the
blacksnakes had torn up. But there were
no traces of the trained blacksnakes. and
they have never since put in an appear
ance. Hank was broken hearted. He
looked silently at the wreck for a min
ute. Then he hurled his hymn book out
of the window and went into the house.
When he returned he was carrying a bot
tle of whisky.
“ ‘The labors of months swept away.’
he said in pathetic tones. The finest col
lection of trained blacksnakes in Pike
county turned into vagrant wanderers of
the woods and dales. A worthy od man
practically ruined. And all due to an
overdose of reform and a ferved desire
to inspire blacksnakes with religion. But,
elder,’ he continued, taking the cork out
of the bottle, ‘I have here an antidote for
the disease. I will proceed to innoculate
myself.
“And when I left him he was ‘innoculat
ing’ himself at a rate which seemed a
guarantee against any recurrence of the
trouble.”
CHINA’S SEARCH FOR A GOD.
The Accident Hint Carried Buddlklnin
Instead of Chrintlanity luto tlie
Flowery Kingdom.
By Edgar Mels.
Had the embassy of Emperor Wing-4e,
A. D. 65. of the Ming dynasty gone fifteen
hundred miles further In its Journey in
search of the incarnated God, China
would have been one of the greatest na
tions in the world, and all the present
trouble would have been avoided. The
story of the search for the incarnated
God and its strange ending forms one of
the most remarkable chapters in the his
tory of a remarkable people. It is not
merely that the China of nineteen hun
dred years ago should seek the light, hut
that in so doing it should miss the object
of that search completely and yet stum
ble across anew and a better religion—
that is the most remarkable thing.
In order to properly understand the
conditions leading to a search for the in
carnated God it will be necessary to go
a little into the history of China of
that day. The Ming dynasty, which ruled
then, had brought China out of a slough
of despond into which it had sunk be
cause of the terrible corruption into w hich
the precepts of Confucious and Lao-tze
had fallen. These two great teachers
were to China what Marcus Aurelius An
tonius was to the Romans. All three
taught the value of good, the necessity
of doing good nnd other precepts based
upon the same proposition. After the
death of the Chinese philosophers their
teachings became corrupted untl Confu
cianism became another name for ceremo
nial usage, and Lao-tzeism. under the
name of Taoism, a worship of spirits.
It was then, when China wan the most
highly civilized nation, when it counted
gunpowder among its inventions, that the
Ming rulers sougt to find the true relig
ion-something more noble than a worship
of spirits or ceremonials. While still dis
cussing the matter rumors spread far and
near that anew prophet—the incarnation
of the real God—had appeared in the Far
West. Strange stories were whispered
beneath the breath of the marvelous
power of this new God—how he had raised
the dead und had performed other mira
cles. Tills eventually reached the ears
of the Emperor. Calling the literary and
scientific men before him he demanded
to know their opinions.
After l?ng consultation It was decided
to send an embassy (o the Incarnated
God, with rich offerings, and to ask him
to come to China to preach the true
word. So a great enravan of richly deco
rated camels was gathered, and magnifi
cent offerings loa<ied upon their backs.
There were superb silks, glittering and
precious stones, the choicest incense, mag
nificent ivory carvings and the finest pro
ducts of all China. Attended by a huge
retinue of coolies and servants and sol
diers the embassy, consisting of China’s
most learned men, started south, along the
coast line, for, In those days, it was not
safe fo travel too far inland. Days and
weeks the caravan traveled. Each day
prayers were offered to the Incarnate God.
On went the cavalcade, passing beyond
the boundaries of China, into the unknown
land beyond. Everywhere the mission
went the word of the. search was passed
and soon a huge army entered India.
Once there the stories of the incarnate
God became more circumstantial, and
with renewed courage the embassadors
pressed on. At last Southern India was
reached and a positive clue discovered—
a* least, so the embassy thought. Yet,
the natives had heard of a great prophet.
He had performed miracles and had dis
appeared In a miraculous manner, none
knew whither. He had lived and was
born on an island south of India, across
the water, which the Chinese dreaded.
But strong ns was the fear of water,
the desire to accomplish their purpose was
stronger, and so, in rude boo/tc, they set
sail for Ceylon. The weather favored
them, and soon they set foot on the isl
and home of the unknown prophet. There,
where the knowledge of hie existence was
still fresh In the minds of the people,
where the 80-tree or Tree of Knowledge,
where he had gained inspiration, was still
standing, where his personality was not
yet forgotten, the ambassadors gained
their knowledge of—Buddha, Gautama
Siddarthe, the All-Wise.
They had set out to find the incarnate
God. Christ, the Savior, and had found
Buddha. To their minds the precepts
of Buddha offered attractions far supe
rior to those of Confucius or Lao-tze, and
so the return Journey was begun, after
leaving the presents and offerings at
Buddha’s shrine at Kuslnara. Then they
returned home and spread the new creed
far and wide. To-day there are more
than 30,000,000 Buddhists In China.
