AVhen I first met him in 'CUT was ivith n hunting party of Eastern tour ists in camp on Indian Creek , on the borders of the North Park of the Col orado. Wo had just eaten snppoi 1 were disposing ourselves comfort- , ibly on our ulankets for iv smoke and ihat Avhen Sam C.MIIU riding up on tlu > most dilapidated specimen of nuih' lesh that ever awoke the echoes with in astlnnatio bray. It was a venerable iniinal and woienpon its time-marked face that look of quiet dignity which igo over infuses into animals of that species. Ulind of an eye , but a taper- ' .ny . spike where rfnco hung a bushy nil , ono ear erect and pointing prowl' ' lynt the heavens and the other droop ing down beneath n depression ofj spirits , or Honiething of that sort , the mir worn from its body in numerous places and every lib and bone stand- ng out in startling prominence , tin jtrango animal presented an appear unco that would at once attract the ittontion of any \irlist looking fora : nodel for a picture of antiquated ani nal life. With a long drawn out "WHO-A-AA , .imiUSALEMl" Ho reined up and dismounted a few feet from where wo lay , and as we iroso to welcome him said : "Don't ' git too clus to Jerusalem's licela , gents , or thar's liable to bo a vvako in the camp ! " "Is ho a kicker ? " I asked. "A kicker ? Pardnci , thar's bin joino kickin' niowols in thcso mount ngs that war' holy terrors , but none of 'em could ever ilirt a hoof with Jerusalem. Won this critter lets go i log somothin's goin" tor bo demolished avery time. Ho come of a kickjn' ( aniily , an' you kin just bet yor life vgin a b'ar skin that he's agoin' to ibid up the family reputation as long is ho lives , an" I reckon he's good fui aovoral y'ars yit. " "How old is the animal , uncle ? He ooks like ho might bo classed as a wtriarch among four-footed , beasts. " "Wai , pardner , thar's soiiio differ 3iico of opinion rcgardin' tjio length > ' time he's graced this airth. Tlmr's some settlers up my way thet claim he lin't moro'n five or aix hundred years jld , but I'm willin" to bet my hope o' jlory agin a jackknife thot Jerusalem n-ar' ono o' the chosen ones thot tuk a .rip with NOAH IK TUB AHK. if I war' jist as sure of connectin1 en icavon as I am. thet tliis animilc \ Heated around iu thot shower I could hear the harps a-twangin' ' now. Wat braces mo up in this opinion air the Fact that every time it begins to rain the old cuss gits oneaay an' lights out 'ur the top o' some hill. t had him over on the Big Horn the time the sugcrs came up in a boat , an' the minutp the old coot sped that boat floating in the water he looked up at the clouds to sec if thar' war' a storm comin' up. It happened to look like rain that day an' ding my ayes cf ho didn't let out a snort of alarm an1 in spite of all I could do he tuk to the water , with me on his back , an' swam out to that boat. The so- gers had to beat him off wi' ' the butte o' their guns afore I could stocr him ashore agin. Who-a-a , Jerusalem ! Please stan' ' back thar' a loetlomistor , or thar's 'liable to bo a shower o1 flesh n Utah in about three minutes ! " The lost remark was addressed tc ono of the party who had movecl around to the rear of the animal , and was contemplating his wonderful make-up. Resuming the conversa tion , I said : "So you think ho was on the Ark , then ! " "I do , but I reckon at that time he war"only a kid and knowod mighty tittle about the proper use o' his heels. If he'd a possessed the accomplish ments then that ho does now , this lirth would boa howlin1 waste , "fur ho'd a converted that air ark into kindlin' ' wood an' ' a drowndcd every critter on board afore they'd a bin afloat ton minutes. I tried ter break him o' ' the habit once , but after the trial I jest give up and settled down to the opinion that ho .was the CHAMPION Klt'KEIl O1 TIIK WOHM ) ! "Aforo goin1 to bed ono night ] backed him up to a barricade o' l .ga that I'd fixed for 'im. It war' foni feet high , twelve foot long and about * oroii foot thick , the logs boin" bound ; ogcthor with rawhide thongs When [ backed the old snooxer up ho looked iround sideways an' appeared t Know jcat w'at the barricade , war there tur. Ho turned loose on it nn'i [ went to bed an' fur three houra 1 ay thar' ah' listened to the fool wlmckin' away , niakiii1 a fair average o' twenty kicks to the minute , Finally , [ wont to Bleep , an' w'on 1 woke in the mornin1 nil w'ar still as death. 1 got up cxpcctui1 to find either a dead mule era a penitent one , but when I opened the cabin door the logs war' gone an' thar'j jtood thin identical critter in Hawdn.it up to his knceo a holdin' up one hind foot an1 a fannin' it with his off cur. [ f yon don't believe it juat come ovei to my ranch on Snake river an * I'll' diow you the sawdust. " The old man remained with us for two hours , and the foregoing is but n sample of perhaps n dozen stories with which ho regaled our cars ore mount ing his ancient animal and setting out for his home on the Snake. WYOMING KIT. AMun "Who Consort * With Rat- ! tloxnalcos. I I don't luind snakes at nil. ll oughtn't to , considcrin' how manvj years I'vo ' been in the business. It h ] very seldom n person dies if they onlyl 'tend to them nn soon as they arc bit- ! ten. It's very funny to mo why folks ! are so terribly afruul of roptilee.L Outside of copperheads they are ul pretty decent crittci'H. Itlncksnakcl bites don't amount to anything , and ] rattlesnakes always let you know they ! are coming. It is the cursed copper head , lying so quiet and braced up for you that makes the the trouble. 1 rather like rattlesnakes , for they arc wrl of affectionate varnuls when' yon once understand 'cm. 1 often carry 'em around with me , nnd once inawhiloget myself intoa scrape jy it. Did you overhear ot my stage scrape ? No ! Well , it's a good one Mid I will spin it for you. 'Itout ' five years go some follow from the city came up and started a now line of Uagea. It was sopn after the Watei 3ap luniso was built , and ho got the Job from the Hrodhi-ads for that lotol. Ono day I'd been over to thi1 Jersey side gottin' ' some live rattier * ] or a couple of show chaps. Thoj' ' voro stoppm' at the CJap House , so I ook the stngo from the depot to ] : arry the snakes up to 'em. 1 md the varmints in n basket , but the } vouldn't stay quiet , so when L got in ho "bus " 1 put my hat over the to ] ) of ] ho basket to keep the critters in. 1 uiticed the folks oyci'ig mo and the ) basket pretty sharp , and pro'.ty ' soon mo of the women gave an awful scream , and yolleil out , "lie's got snakes. " In a minute therowas great incitement ! I looked down nt the ! basket and saw that the cusses had ! n-otkcd their heads out under tin brim of my hat and were stick in'j 'their ' , fangs out at the passengers. The women wauled to get out , but AS I aat by the door they were | .ifraid to pass mo. 1 couldn't help laughin' , and that made a man who 'was ' tryin1 to keep his wife quiet mnd. Mid he ordered mo to get out. Iflaid f something 'bout the serpents being ! innnlcss and that they couldn't got ? out , but thut didn't do any gtiod. 1 } md no idea lhat men were gottin * so < excited , for the first thing I knew the ! driver stopped the team , jumped , ' down , and came around to the door. At the same tmo a couple of men in- aulo came toward me , and in n jiffy they hustled me , basket , snakes ] ind all , out into the road. Ono of the rattlers got away and I could not find him. However , 1 goti even with the driver , for several Jays later that sumo varmint which had escaped in some way maimgcd fo climb upon the stngo , and curlud itself on the scat right nlongsido the driver. The chap heard it rattle , and when IK saw what sort of n passenger ho hndj near him ho gave such a yell that the liorscs ran away , and he , in jumping ) ff the stage , rolled over and over , miising himself pretty badly. A 3nlpopper , Va. , Character in the ] N"ew York Times. A Snnko Chnrmoi 'a fonts. Most people haven't a very highB 9pimon of snakes. William W.I iowo , of Camden , has. Ho oonsid-l or a that a snake has as much right to | > o treated as n pot as a dog or a cat or i bird. Uohind the counter of his ] iquorand billiard rooms , corner of Arch and Fifth streets , stands a nine ) ox with a glass front , and in this yes- erday afternoon a visitor found n six- bet pino-snako , which , at a distance1 3f three or four feet , closely rescin ded a rattlesnake. Mr. llowo thrust in arm into the box and lifting the squirming reptile by the neck tosaed urn on a billiard table to the conatoi- lation of u man who was reaching roBB for a ball. "That's the only one I have at iresent , " said Mr. Howe , as ho strok- > d the creature's back , "but I expect ; o got nioro soon. This fellow I caught about thrco months ago , neat Dhem'j'ig Station , N. J. , and ho haa ; urncd out one of the finest pots 3 lave had. Ho was pretty ugly at li rst , mt by gentle handling 1 have inado decent snake out of him. Why , he wouldn't ' eat for thrco weeks after he was caught , but I got him reconciled , o his fate at last. Ho now eats rogu- arly and is quite lively. 3 'ecu him on sparrows , mice , sggs and milk. T put the Dirds in alive , and I sometimes feel sorry for the poor things , they do taki on so. Ho kills them and then awal i lows them whole , feathers and nil. Ho swallows an egg without breaking ] iho shell. That sounds like a pretty atifl' snake story , but the throat of the snake is capable of wonderful disten sion. I food him three and four ] times 11 week. After a meal ho will lie for four or live hours without ] stirring a muscle. "Tho rattlesnake , " the snake fancier continued , "rarely feeds more than ] thrco times a week. Ho is much more vicious than the pine-snake , and it requires much more skill and pa- timico to subdue him. It is the same way with a blacksnako. The "rat' tier" has the nature of a bull dog to a ] great extent ; the only way in which ; anything can bo done with him iiti first is by brute force. I have to whip | a rattler into subjection. 1 low's ] that ? Oh , the whipping ? Well , air , ] find a snake has about as much intel ligence as almost any animal , and when it strikes at you it knowa it has done ] wrong and under-tanda why the whip ping iu administered. 11 uko a small switch and whip the Bimko over the ] head , HattlorB are stubborn nt first , but they can bo conquered dually by ithn whip , and give little trouble. When a rattler gives in and squeals itliun I know I have conquered him. 'Now ' with the pineBiiako it is differ ent. If I should take a switcli and whip that siialio there on the hi'ad it .would . cry like a hurt child. That's wtrango. isn't it ? But it is true. There is no need of whipping n snake more 'than ' two or three times , for attqr that it fea-8 you , and if you go nt it in the ] right way it will soon learn to love ' 'you the same as a dog or cat.
