A Banner of Rattlesnake Skin.
A lady, residing on the west side liai
perhaps the most un quo banner that
has ever been seen in Kansas C' ty. It
is as beautiful as it is unique, and is
prized by its owner for its beauly and
oddity. It is made of the skin cf an
enormous rattlesnake, with a back
ground of plush. The snake skin was
sent the lady by a friend, who lives in
Texas. It is beautifully tanned, the
back being colored and covered with
spots resembling small scales, which on
the background of plush look for aU
the world like mosaic. The skin
is over five feet long without the head
and tail and fourteen rattles denoted
its age. In the widest part the skin is
nine inches in width, thus showing that
in life the rightful owner of the skin
which now adorns the lady’s parlor
must have baen an ugly custora.r. A
letter which preceded the present states
that belts made of rattlesnake skim are
much worn by the young la lies of Tex
