The Story of o Brnve I.ittle Snnke
itnutlnw Host.
Flint was given to me when a puppy by
r pentl.m n who assured me that if prop
e-’ tral -I th- terrier would make havoc
... . t makes that w«re w »n«
to nrc.wl around the house among the lulls,
t - .. - summer months *y often spent.
I . mid but wntek at fit
terror, hut later on I came to experience a
pleasure in sharing his snake hunt
ing expeditions. Frequently he would dis
cover a snake out *f reach. under a log. p» r
y ps. a.a! the little fellow’s delight was
most evident when, by the aid of a stout
Ftkk. 1 wvuid raise one end cf the log an<!
le: 1 m s-cure his prey. Seizing the reptile
In his mouth, he would shake it to death,
always itiinairnc to escape being bitten.
Not infrequently we would chance on
raltlesn-.kes and moccasins too formidable
for either of ns to attack, and then to
wat.-h Flint’s antics—his precautions ard
maneuvers to seise the reptile off its guard
—was a study indeed.
I r- ill one O • talon when Flint an! I
w-re both put to rout by a hue* rattlesnake.
One bright afternoon I started «»ff for a
jwratt-bie over the hills and a wade in the
rocky cretk below, with Flint Joyously
V unding on dn advance, occasionally run
ning ; x hims-ls of m
tn e X I r.< are 1 the foot of a hill 1 heard
the terror’s peculiar bark, which told me
that a snake had been discovered. Soon I
espied the little hunter dancing excitedly
around an immense rattlesnake that he
dared not attack, keeping a safe distance
from the reptile, but running around it so
that it could not easily escape.
The snake was coiled with its tall elevated
and lt« tongue darting in and out, while th
warning rattle and the ominous hisses for
bade approach. Finally it slowly uncoiled
ttempted to glide Off to the w ids.
but Flirt furiously charged upon it. when
Instcntlv it colled itself again and prepared
for defense. A"iin and again the scrjie.it
tried to effect an escape, but its little enemy
was ever alert and gave lt no chance to
si p away. .. . .
Seeing the dog’s caution. I knew that I
coul-l saf !y leave him while I went to
a m aid in the shape cf the e-d-r.-l
gardener. The old man came and was about
to ati-i-k the snake with the hoe he carried
In his hand, when he drew ba-k appalbxl at
the sight of so formidable a foe.
••’Deed. miss.” declared Uncle George, "it
takes a better weepon than a hoe to tackle
dat varmint!”
the deg on guard he returned to
the hous • for a gun. with which the snake
was dlsi atch- I. After Its writhing coils
wre r-lixed. Flint ni-hed in and caught
th* monster by the back, giving it several
vigorous shnst* *. as much as to say: lin
in at the death, at l«*.a«t.”
For miry years Flint was vigilant in
exterminating both the rats and the snakes
t :. .. ..I I ’ti. pla<-‘. and luring the sum
mvr months he was my constant companion
in my rambles over the hills.
Poor Flint! After all his wariness in so
irany sweessful encounters he at last fell
r. v ; -tiin to his fondness for snake hunting.
V.’i !•• I at boarding school he acquired
the habit of hunting alone, and one morning
rails for him brought no response. All that
day he v. s gone and when night came he
v. ■■ nowhere to be found. The rest morn
ing a searching party was organized and
at last my little pet waa found lying
crushed and dead under a log at the foot
of a hill.
He had r ound « snake under the log and.
as we afterwards learned, his barks had
Induced some boys to go to his assistance.
They .*tte:a| to raise the log, when it
fell idden’y upon the little deg. crushing
the life out of him. But he died with his
face to his chosen foe! E. A M.

subject is: “M inch does the most toward Hie for

1 lielteve education does more in the upbuilding
of our character, than anything else. '1 tie human
race re-piii- s to !>e eilm aled, amt a great part of
it is to lie obtained through example. This is un
doubtedly true respecting on* - - harr.etcrs.
It is necessary that we associate with persons of

ol great importance in the lurmation ot onrciiar
acters. Such persons are a source <4 edification
tons. It we are educated we seek tin- society of
the wise, the intelligent ami good. Ami from s uch
people we are always to learn Something which
will I-' beneficial.
Without education ami culture we could no,t ap
preciate these associations, which tend to en
light- n and elevate us, l-otti mentally and morally,
ami iuste.-d <>l seeking ■ u-'li, we wool I preler the

Our characters are to make. The powers are
given to us but we must cultivate them, and har
monize them lo make a noble character. Our
heavenly father lias given us our minds Suit we an.

LITTLE MR. THIMBLEFINGER
And His Queer Country—What the Children Saw and Heard
There.

The Looking; Glnnn t lillilren.
The frame of the mirror was of dark
wood, curiously carved and It was set on
pivots between two small but stout upright
posts, made of the same kind of wood. As
Mrs. Meadows .brought the looking glass
out it swung back and forth between these
posts and its polished surface shone with
great brilliancy. The children wondered
how they were to amuse themselves with
this queer toy. Mrs. Meadows placed the
looking glass a little way from them, but
not facing them. The frame was in pro
file, so that they could see neither the
face nor the back of the mirror.
“Y'ou come first,” she said to Buster John.
He went forward, and Mrs. Meadows
placed him in front of the looking glass.
As he turned to face it his reflection (as it
seemed) stepped from the mirror and stared
at him. Buster John looked at Mrs. Mea
dows for an explanation, but at that mo
ment she beckoned so. Sweetest Susan.
XVh- n Buster John moved his image m ived.
Mrs. Meadows pushed him gently aside to
make room for Sweetest Susan, and it
seetne-l that some invisible hind pushed his
reflection gently aside.
Sweetest Susan stepped before the looking
glass and her reflection walked out to
meet her. Drusilla now came forward, and
her image stepped forth, looking somewhat
seared and showing the whites of Its eyes.
Mrs. Meadows went to the looking glass,
gave it a sudden turn on Its pivots and car
ried it into the house.
All this happened so rapidly that the
children hardly had time to be surprised,
but now that the looking glass had been
carried away ami they were lett with
their reflections, their shadows, their im
ages (or whatever it was), they didn’t know
what to -lo or say or think. They could
only look at each other in dumb astonish
ment. Drusilla was the first to break the
silence. In her surprise she had move-1
quickly back a lew steps, and her image,
a-"- L .' A.;J

Her Reflection Walked Out to Meet Her
which had come out of the looking glass,
had as quickly moved forward and toward
ner a lew steps.
"Don’t come follerin’ after me!” she cried
excitedly. “Kase es you do, you’ll sho’ git
hurted. I ain’t done nothin' 'tall ter you.
1 ain’t gwine ter pester you, an’ I ain’t
gwine ter let you pester me. I tell you dut
now, so you’ll know what ter ’pen’ on.”
“Don't move! Please don’t move!” cried
Sweetest Susan to Duster John. “If you do
1 can't tell you apart. I won’t know which
is which. That wouldn’t be treating me
right nor mamma, either.”
Naturally, the childien were in a great
predicament when Airs. Ideadows came
hack. She saw the trouble ac once, and
began to laugh. It was funny to see Bus
ter John and Sweetest Susan and Drusilla
startling there staring first at the looking
’ lass children and then at themselves, not
daring to move for ft ar they would g’t
n ixed up with their doubles. The looking
glass children stared likewise, first at
themselves and then at the others.
•What is the matter?” Mrs. Meadows
asked. “Why don’t you go ami play with
one another and make friends’? it isn’t
many folks that have thy chance you chil
dren have got”
•1 don't feel like playing,” said Sweetest
Susan. "I'm afraid we ll get mixed up so
tl at nobody will know one from the other. ’
“Why, there’s all the difference in the
world,” exclaimed Mrs. Meadows, trying
hard not to laugh. "The looking glass
children are all left-handed. You have a
Hower on the left side of your hat, the
other Susan has a lion er on the rignt sale
of her hat. Your brother there has but
tons on the right side of his coat; the
other John has buttons on the left side.
There is a flaw in the looking glass, ana
Drusilla, being a little taller than you
luii was just tail enough tor the end ot
her nose to be even with the Haw. Mats
the reason the other Drusilla s nose looks
like it had been mashed with a hammer
“Yes’m it do.” exclaimed Drusil a. bhe
involuntarily took a step forward to take
•i nearer view of the flawed nose, and ot
course the other Drusilla look a step tor
wild as if to show the Hawed p obe *
“Don’t you dust ter come bout me! ex
claimed Drusilla. “Goodness kinins A
don’t look dal away. Go on, now. Go ten
ter yo’ own business et you got any.
“I don’t want to play with you, said
the otler Drusilla. "You’ve got smut on
your face. 1 don't like to play with dirty
-1 “My cleaner'n yone dis blessed min
nit," retorted Drusilla.
"And vour hair is not cpmbed. said the
other Drusilla. "It is wrapped with
strings, and you couldn’t comb it if you
wonted’ to. I t'vnk it is a shame.”
“Book at yo’own head!" retorted Drusilla,
angrily "it's mo’ woolly can what mine
is Tain’t never been kyarded much less
combed. An’ who got any mo’ strings
under der hair dun you ot on yone?”
••How could 1 help it?" the other Dru
silla asked “You came and looked at me
in the glass and I had to be just like you.
«muttv face and all. I don’t think it is
ri ‘ht I know I never looked like this
bei'ore, and I hope I never shall again.”
“Tut tut!" said Mrs. Meadows, "don't
get to’ moaning around here. You might
look better but vou don’t look so bad. ft
win all come right on wash day as the
woman said when she put her dress on
wiong side inward. tl-re comes Chbktny
( ranv Crow and Tickle-JI v-Toes. They’ll
be glad to see you, no matter how you
And they were. They ran to the looking
glass children and greeted them warmly.
Tickle-My-Toes stared at the other Dru-ulla
in surprise, but he didn’t laugh at her.
“You look as if vou had fallen down the
chimnev,” lie said, "but that doesn’t make
any difference. So long as you are here
lire ‘■'itt is Hod.”
"Oh. I don't mind it,” said the other
' "x'ow llten.” remarked Mrs. Meadows,
“vou couldn’t please us better than to slag
us a song. Vou haven’t practiced together
for a long time.”
The ether children looked at one another
in a shame-faced way, and then, without
a woril of objection or explanatimi. they
began to sing as with one v< ice, the most
plaintive song that ever was heard, it
may be called “The Looking Glass Song.”

“Oh, I think that is splendid,” cried
| Sweetest Susan.
“Mr. Rabbit doesn’t like It much.’ re
plied Mrs. Meadows, “but 1 tell him it is
pretty good tor children that were raised in
a looking glass.”
‘•lt will 'io very well, remarked Mr.
Rabbit, ’’but you’ll hear nicer son-s by the
time you are as old as I am.
“Dem ar white ehiilun done mighty well,”
said Drusilla, “but I don't like de way dat
ar -’igger gal hilt her head.”
" “Do tn y have to stay in the looking
glass’?” asked Buster John. “If they do
I'm sorry ior them.”
“1 ain’t sorry fer dat black gal,” said
Drusilla, spitefully. “She too ugly ter suit
""’Whose fault is it but yours?” cried
Chicksnty Crany Crow.
“Yes, V. h .Se fault is it?” cried Tickle-My-
■■'.Ve'll not trouble her,” answered Tickle-
My-Toes. "01-1 Rawb.ead-and-Bloody-Bones

“Now you ail mar dat!” exclaimed Dru
silla, in some alarm. “1 ain't pesterln no
body, an’ 1 ain't doin’ nothin’ 'tall. Es I can t
talk 1 ut.-s cz ’.veil quit livin’. I’m gwine
heme, I am, an’ el I can’t tin de way’, den
I’ll know who’ll have ter answer fer it.
• VCeli, if you go,” said Mrs. Meadows,
“you’ll have company. The other black
girl v. ill have to go too.”
"How come dat’.’” exclaimed Drusilla. „
“It would tal c me too long to tell you,’
replied Airs. Meadows. “Why dues your
shadow in a looking glass make every mo
tion tnat you make? Because it’s obliged
to—that’s all. That’s just the reason the
other black girl would follow you.”
“Don’t mind Drusilla.” said Buster John.
•‘She just talks to hear herself talk. Her
mouth llies open betore she knows it.”
“XV-11, the poor things won’t trouble you
long,” said Mrs. Meadows. "They’ll want
to go back home presently.’*
“Do they have to stay in the looking
glass?” inquired Buster John, repeating a
question he had already asked.
“Well, they were born and raised there,”
replied Mrs. M'-ndows. "it is their home,
and, although they are glad to get out for
a little while, they wouldn’t be very happy
if they had to stay out.”
The chil Iren and the looking glass chil
dren played together a little while, or made
believe to play, but they didn’t seem to en
joy them:-.-lves. Mrs. Meadows noticed thia
anil asked .Mr. Rabbit the reason.
"Simple enough:, simple enough.” Mr. Rab
bit answered. "They are so much alike in
their looks and vi ays and so different in
their raising that tin y can’t get on togeth
er. How would I feel if my do.uble were
to walk out of the side of the house and sit
here facing me and mimic my every mo
tion? I wouldn’t feel very comfortable, I can
tell you.”
"I reckon not,” said Mrs. Meadows. Pres
ently she called the children, brought out
the looking glass and told them it was time
to teli one another goodby. At this the
other Children seemed to be very well
pleased. The other Buster John and the
other Sweetest Susan shook hands all round
an 1 the other Drusilla made a courtesy to
the company. Then, with a run and a
jump .hey plunged into the big looking
glass as you have seen youngsters plunge
int i a pond ot’ water.
“Hey!” cried Mr. Thimblefinger, “they
jumped in with a splash, but they never
mao > a rippie.”
"They haven’t room enough in there to
turn aiound,” said Sweetest Susan.
’’Why not?” inquired Mr. Thimblefinger.
“To them the world is a looking glass, and
a mighty- little one at that. If you were
to peep in their glass now they’d peep back
at you; but. as they look at it, you are in
a looking glass and they are out of it.
And 1 woudn’t be surprised if they are a
great deal sorrier for you than you are for
them.”
"When are we to go home?” asked Sweet
est Susan, plaintively.
"Oho! you wane to get back into your
looking glass!” cried Mr. Thimblefinger,
merrily, “Well, you won’t have long to
wait. By rights, you ought to stay here
twelve hours, but the old Spring Lizard
and 1 have put our heads together, and
we’w fixed it so that you can get back
before sundown.”
"Isn't ii night at home now?” inquined
Buster John.
"Why, they are hardly through washing
the dishes,” replied Mrs. Meadows.
“It is just half-past 2,” said Mr. Thimble
finger. looking at his watch.
“Well, it look so dark all dis time dat I
done got hungry fer supper,” remarked
Drusilla.
