Too Many Snakes
No, this is not a snake story, for
real, live snakes are mighty scarce
in this country Just now. But there
are some ' imaginary snakes, and
Johnny Boyle caught a lot of them
the other day and put them in his
head. Mixed with the snakes were
a few alligators, eels, craw-dads and
other "animals". Johnny finally saw
so many of them last week that be
was put in the city bastile until the
effects of his "flights of fancy" could
wear off. Sunday most of the snakes
had crawled Into their holes and he
was released, under the condition
that he would abstain from the use
of snake medicine for a few days.
It seems strange that the distillers
have not yet begun to weep over the
awful Increase In the sales of vodka
In Russia tinder prohibition.
