rPl l.K KI1.L. BATTUMNAKBS. Oacv Animal Sights a Reptile It's mm Good am Dead. "I was trout fishing in the lower part of the Pennsylvania hem-j lock belt this season," said an Orange county citizens, according to story in the New York Sun, "and seeing and hearing more rattle-i snakes than was pleasant I asked a native of the district if those cheerful reptiles weren't more plentiful than usual thereabout. He said they were, and told me why. " "It's because the woods have been cut away so,' said he. 'The cutting away of the woods has made the deer scarcer. Naturally the lime; MUl Ul lilt? uetT lias l.llieu out of the woods one of the greatest foei the rattler ever had. A olaeksnake hates rattlesnakes beyond everything, but it doesn't hate them a bit more than does the deer. " 'Deer will hunt rattlesnakes as persistently as a good dog will hunt birds. When a deer once gets its eye on a rattler that rattler's fate is sealed. " "The deer waits until the snake coils to strike. Then it raises on its hind feet and strikes the snake with the sharp hoofs of the forefeet, killing it instantly. After killing the snake if there doesn't seem ~o be any of its kind at hand requiring the deer's attention, it will cut the dead one to pieces with its hoofs. " 'In the fall of the year, when the snakes are returning to their dens for the winter, and in the spring, when they are coming out again, deer visit the dens and kill rattlers by the score as they pass in or come out. In this way while deer were plentiful in our region they undoubtedly kept the rattlesnake population down by thousands every year. There are not enough of the snake killing deer left with us to hoid the poison pedaling reptiles in check. " 'Old hunters used to say that even if the rattlesnake was quick enough to get its work in on a deer beofre the deer's razor-like k * - i - uvuis enaea its career tne poison would have no efefct on the deer. I think that is a mistake. I came across a big buck one fall lying dead iu the woods. In one of the nostrils, fast in the flesh, I discovered tee afngs of the rattlesnake " '1 could come to but one conclusion trom that. The buck had attackeo a rattlesnake and the snake had managed to strike it in the nose, setting a fang deep in a nostril. The buck, jerking its head nack suddenly had pulled the fang out of the snake's jaw. The poison from it had killed the buck.' "That same native of the hemlock belt told me that if I carried a black ash slick with me I needn't be t-fraid of all the rattlesnakes there were in that or any other region, for a rattler wouldn't come anywhere near black ash. He said, too, that I could always be sure of huckleberry pie or pudding for dinner wherever there was rattlesnakes and a huckleberry country invariably went together. He said, too, that I needn't be afraid r?f getting malaria as long as 1 was-*n a district where there were rattle?nakes. "I didn't, carry a black ash stick to test its eiftcacy against proximity of rattlers, there isn't any doubt at all but 1 ^d huckleberry DUddine or nie richt ? iiae while I was in that bailiwick, an& I np/?er bad malaria once." Store RoMied. Brittons Neck.?The store of W. S. Foxwlth at this place was broken open Sunday night near ten o'clock and about $100 in cash was takon from a cabinet in which the cash was kept.
