A SQU.W MAX ,
Having yeara'nuo won the ad'ootions of
n Arrapnhoo womnn and taken her
nto his hunrt and home.
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

\ 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

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

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.

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

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. Before
f tamed this one it jumped clear out
of the box ono day in an endeavor in
strike the clerk. It novermadoa sin-
pass at mo , and it probably novoi
will , because 1 treat it Kindly. Would
you like to see it climb a. tree ? Well ,
then , come out hero. "
The mrnko owner carried the reptile
, 'to ' u tree in front of the store and hiingj
[ it over the first limn. In a few mo
ments it climbed to the very top
of the tree mid swung to and fro
.in the summer breeze. Tliero WUH a
'commotion ' among the birds and loud
Und angry protests were made against
the intrusion. Mr , Howe and the re-
iportor aat down under thu trco and
| talked of snakes and lizards and all
manner of creeping things , the former
discoursing volubly on liia preference
for snakes as pota and playthings. Ho
claims to have own id and handled all
Wta of small animals , including birds ,
Irats , mice , aquirrols , oposaums , ra
coons , ground-hogs , foxes mid
other creatures common to this
jcountry. Ho proforH snakes
to anything ho lias yet owned.
Parguing that as much confidence cani
! Rbo placed in them as in a dog. While
Jho was giving an onteresting oxneri-f
fence n man stopped under the tree and !
