HOG-NOSED SNAKE.
“No one thinks my name is es-
pecially attractive,” said the Hog-
Nosed Snake, “and I don't suppose I
can say it is very attractive, either.
“But I have other names; oh, yes,
indeed. I have plenty ef other names.
“I am sometimes called the Spread-
ing Adder Snake, and sometimes I
am called the Puff Adder Snake. Then
again I am called the Klat-Headed |
Adder Snake, and once in a while
am called a Sand-Viper Snake,
“I don’t know that any of those
names are especially attractive, either,
but then it doesn’t make much dif-
ference.
“Some great, great, great man said
that a name didn't make any differ- |
ence. And so I agree with him.
“I don’t think it makes a scrap of
difference what my name is.
“I usually call myself

name.
“It is because my snout is something
the shape of a pig's or of a how's. |
That is why I have that name—a per-
fectly good and sensible reason.

‘touches of black and once in a while
I wear a red shawl around the back
of my head.
“Of course it isn’t really a shawl,
but a big touch of red, but I like to
call it a shawl .
“Some of my family wear suits
which are something like the color of
the ground where they live, and some
of the relatives wear more yellow
and red. Oh, ves; we don't all dress
just alike. Tt would be foolish of us
if we did.
“It isn’t foolish of creatures to
dress alike if they enjoy doing it.
“But it is wisest to do as the fam-
ily has always done, and our family
has always dressed somewhat dif-
ferently.
“I have a very turned-up, Ssnout-
like nose. Almost any one can tell
me by that.
“And T have a flat head and a fat
body. Deesn't sound as if I were a
beautiful creature, eh? But neo mat-
ter, I don’t care for beauty,
“Why should I? Didn't some one
once say that heauty wasn't every-
thing or that handsome was as hand-
some did, or rather they have said:
‘Handsome is as handsome does.’ All
of that means that ‘Actions speak
louder than words.
than that does it mean.
“For it means that unless one acts
beautifully it doesn’t matter whether
one is beautiful or not!
“Of course I'm not saying that T
act beautifully, for I don’t. I bluff
a great deal, and by that T mean that
when danger is near I pretend that I'm
a dead snake, and I lie on my back
quite, quite still.
“Of course if I'm moved and pushed
so that T am left some other way I
turn over so that T am on my back.
“Sometimes I have given myself
away in this fashion, but no matter,
I usually find it works.
“I hiss and so I have been given
all my other names.
“And another reason, I do believe,
why I am called a hog-nosed snake
is because I am just about as greedy
as any pig could ever be.
“perhaps they didn’t know that
when they named me, but it is true,
all right.
“I'm a greedy, greedy snake! I am
rather queer and unusual in most
ways, too. In fact I'm rather inter-
esting to hear about, but nothing
much to meet.
“I have the funny way of pretend-
ing to have finished my snake life
when met by danger. I'm not one to
go out of the way for danger; no,
I'm not one for that.
“1 hate. danger so much that T |
wouldn’t be sociable if I met any
one.
“Altogether I don’t suppose I am

500 BUSHELS OF APPLES.
“Apples are apples,” this year, and
the announcement that J. C. Wilson,
of Bodine, gathered five hundred
bushels from his orchards on the hills
near that place this fall will excite
some wonderment.
The apple blossoms jn that vicin-
ity were nipped by frosts last spring,
and, except in rare instances, such as
that of Mr. Wilson’s large yields are
exceedingly rare.
Asked for an explanation, a well
known authority accounted for Mr.
Wilson’s good fortune by recalling
the opinion that the buds were late in
developing and therefore escaped the
early frosts.
HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
Others Relieved---
Why Not You?
Catarrh Does Harm—Get Rid of It.
Catarrh of the nose or throat when
it becomes chronic weakens the deli-
cate lung tissues, deranges the diges-
tive organs, and may lead to con-
sumption. It impairs the taste, smell
and hearing, and affects the voice. It
is a constitutional disease and re-
quires a constitutional remedy.
Take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which by
purifying the blood removes the cause
of the disease and gives permanent
relief. This alternative and tonic
medicine has proved entirely satisfac-
tory to thousands of families in three
generations.
If there is biliousness or constipa-
tion, take Hood’s Pills. 66-43

The first improved highway in America is
said to have been built in this state in 1794
at Downingtown, thirty miles west of Phila-
delphia. It was the beginning of the good
roads movement that has spread from coast
to coast.
Good roads are essential to the prosperity
and progress of this community. Ribbons
of hard surfaced highways must tie it to the
great outside world.
In the same manner the men and women
of the Bell System—many of them your
neighbors—are maintaining “talkways” not
alone to the homes and business houses in
this community but also to every other coma
munity in the State.
