A Den or Snakes.
Two boys named Edward Gibson, and
Henry Wentworth, living near Erie,
Pa'., had been visiting relatives a few
miles north west of Pocono for several
weeks. During the visit they con
cluded to spend a day gathering whor
tieberries, which are unusually plenti
ful, particularly on the Pocono Moun
talus. Accompanying the two lads was
a small dog. The boys left for the
woods soon after breakfast, and began
gathering berries about two and a half
uiles north from where they wore
visiting, in a densely wooded and thinly
populated section. The berries being
very plentiful the boys succeeded in
filling their baskets and pails. At noon,
being tired and hungry, they seated
themselves on a small grassy mound to
eat their lunch. In the meantime, the
little dog was heard barking fiercely
some distance away in the thicket. The
boys, thinking it had' trend or holed a
squirrel, and was barking at it, thought
nothing of the matter, and continued
to eat their lunch. Having done so,
they gathered up the fragments of their
meal and their berries, and, calling the
dog, starred to return home. They had
gone but a short distance when, the
(log not having followed, they stopped
to repeat the call. Instead of the dog
coming, they heard it bark again. The
boys put down their basket, and mark
Ing the spot so that they could find It
again, started back to see what the
trouble was. Arriving at the spot, they
discovered a monster rattlesnake lying
at the opening in the rocks. The boys
gathered up several stones, and, when
the snake again put Its head out, fired
at and killed it. The dog then drew
the dead reptile out. It measured five
feet and two inches, and had seventeen
rattles. Thinking there might be a dvn
ot rattlesnakes under the rocks, the
boys gathered together a heap of dried
brush, and placing it at the opening
where they had killed the snake, ap
plied a match. No sooner had the brush
got fairly ignited than snakes began
runlnmg out from under the rocks in
every direction, 'I'he courage of the
lads failed themi at first, and they star
ted to run, but Gibson who had had
encounters with snakes before., stopped
and persled his young comrade to
return and open a warfare upon the
reptiles. After a briel deliberation,
each with a large missile In hand they
retraced their steps coutloily. Lylug
coiled upon stones appeare(i to be
hundreds of rattlesnakes, of all colors
and sifzes, with their tails rattling
fiercely, making an almost deafening
noise. Although the sight was any
thing but a pleasant one, the brave lads
kept their courage, and began pelting
the rattlers with missiles. So thick
were the snakes thatalmost every stone
killed one. Theladscontinued toshow
er stones in such rapid succession
aimong the reptiles that in a short time
what snakes had not been killed had
made their escape among the surround
ing rocks and underbrush. As soon as
all the live snakes had dIappeared, the
boys, who had become nearly exhaus
ted by hard worik, went to wvork and
gathmered upi thmeir torphiesq. They found
thirty -elgh t snakes, meauring from 3i
to 5 feet in length, The largest onie had
21 rattles.

Lassoing a Locomotive.
In one of the old-fashioned school
books we used to read the story of a
bear who undertook to fight a saw-mill;
and very soon found himself in two
pieces. Bruin's luckless attempt was
a type of all the rash and ignorant re
sistance made against the "march of
improvement." Another and sadder
example wasthe fate of one of the wild
"Gauchos," those Arabs of the South
American desserts, when the railroad
cars irst ran across th e pampas of
Buenos Ayres. Says one of the engi
neers:
They instinctively looked upoa us as
foes, and sought to kill, rob, or thwart
us. We were like a small garrison sure
rounded by savage hordes.
At last we got ready for a trial trip.
Ai the locomotive ran acroe. the bound
less prairie with its smoke and its clat
ter, Gauchos might be seen starting up
in all directions, and then came flying
toward us, half in terror, halt bewild
ered with curiosity. Most of them
reined In at a distance from the line,
when their snorting stallions did not
themselves suddenly halt.
We had run the distance we intend
ed, and made ready for our return. As
we had tested the road, we felt more
secure, and put on the steam. Away
we flew; but, to our amazement, we
saw two Gauchos start out ahead of us,
circle round, and halt on the track, to
catch the new beast with the lasso. Be
fore we could check our speed the lasso
flew; but as it circled around the
smokestack, horse and man went down
before it, the lasso dragging the unfort
unate man under the wheels.
Our position was one of danger; but
we stopped and did all that we could,
taking up the body of the mad man
and bearing it on to our destination,
his friends following, but afraid to
enter.
We ondeavored to explain to them
the nature of steam and its terrible
power, but argument was useless;
nothing could make them believe that
boiling wvater could outstrip and out.

were, to their minds, a sensible expla

able, harmless, not repulsive remedy
that can be taken without interfering
with business or pleasure, or disorgan
izing the system, a sniple vegetable
compound assisting nature to get rid of
lippurities in a gradual manner as na

Liver Regulator, and tihe trial and use
is all that is necessary to prove this to
the most skeptical. Complete satisfac
tion Is secured to every one, and cer
tainly it is a satisfaction to find the head
clear, tihe bowels regular, the blood
purified and the breath sweet. The
Regulator is so mild, so gentle, so harm
less, and does mech a world of good in
correcting the stomach, regulating the
bowels, and restoring the health, that
all that is necessary is to give it a trial.
