SCHOOL. HONOR KICKERS.
The tempest in n teapot over the
class honors in the schools of the
town came to a boil last Thursday
evening. Ihe school board was call
ed in to settle the troubled waters.
They met in the back office of the
National Bank and after bearing what
was to be said by parties dissatisfied
with the conferring of honors, they
sustained the principal in bis tliitn
bution of honor j. In a popular sys
tem of Government everyone has the
chance to talk as much and as often
as they please, and so maoy people
talk and gabble for the sole purpose
of furthering their own interests and
ambitions, regardless of whether they
have ability to talk intelligently on
the subject in hand. They will take
part in the talk to get what they
would like to have and will take hon
ors that they are not entitled to and
cannot keep up: Talk is cheap, but
it cannot put a No. 1 shoe on a No. 7
foot, and it cannot make a low grade
fit a high grade. It is probable that
the dissatisfied persons don't see it
in that correct light. They either
don't see it correctly or they want for
themselves things that belong to oth
ers, or they believo the school auth
ority that ought to know and does
know has been partial in the confer
ring of honors, or they are jealous of
others for their success in class. The
kickers have not stated which of the
four things or feelings caused the
dissatisfaction in their minds and
prompted them to kick and kick
themselves out. It may be a good
thing to kick sometimes, but it
should be a bad thing that one kicks
at, for to kick at a good thing makes
one a bad kicker, and that is dread
fully harmful, not to the person kick
ed at, but to the kicker. On the ques
tion of school class honors how can
the street know. If honors are to be
given they must rest somewhere, and
the teacher knows by the grade who
is entitled to the honor. The street
knows no more about such things
than the man in ths moon. The
street or public has never seen the
grades. How then can the street or
public know. The street is a good
deal like Lincoln's military company,
everyone of which wanted to bo Cap
tail. The street would have an hon
or for everyone, which would be well
enough if everyone - had wen an
honor, but as everyone can't be Cap
tain in a military company and as ev
eryone in the street ctnnot be an
honor class man or woman so every
one in a school cannot be an honor
graduate, and that is the way the
Mifflintown school board looked at
the tempest in a tea-pot that raged
over the conferring of class honoraJ
The Board saw through the tempest
clearly and kept its eye on the focal
point and left things as the principal
of the school decided. The storm in
the tea-pot is over and everything is
as lovely as a mountain lakelet in the
school, with a lesson well read to in
discreet kickers. It ii an honorable
distinction for a pupil to graduate,
and all should ba happy and highly
gratified regardless of elass honors.

Last Friday, April 23, Westiey
Heller, killed the largest snake ever
encountered in Juniata county. He
was taking out railroad ties on Tus
carora mountain about 2 miles from
Thompsontown. Suddenly he heard
a movement among the bushes and the
next instant a snake's head as large as
a man's band stood un four feet in
front of him. It was moving toward
1 - . 1 n - . ,
nun, mouin open H or -10 inches.
Is it a dream, he asked in his
own mind. With the instinct of des
peration he took up the cross-cut
saw that lay close bye and as the
snake came on he gave one frantic
lunge. It was a short decisive battle.
The head of the snake was almost cnt
off by the saw. The force of the on
rushing snake, tumbled its ponderous
body about his legs and its tail
flopped around and about him, and
for a second or two he thought he
was the victim of a horrid night
mare, and as he had ran away some
distance, and the thing did not follow
him, he turned, walked back to the
place of the encounter to see if he
was then awake and in his sober
senses. It was all too true. Such a
snake as he had killed, he had never
seen, and again he began to ques
tion his sober senses, and to satisfy
himself he took a handspike and
stretched the snake and took a cord
and measured it around the body.
The snake measured 18 feet long and
21 inches round, that is 7 inches in
diameter, being as thick as the largest
stove-pipe. He almost fainted. He
became sick with nervous shock, and
with difficulty went home and went
to bed and when L N. Bistline came
through Thompsontown on Satur
day morning, he said his friend was
not yet able to get out of bed. The
nervous shock had almost killed him.
Bistline also said that Dr. Grubb and
other prominent citizens were pre
paring to go to the mountain to
bring the snake to town, and if he
BrisUine had had time he would have
gone with tbem. The narrator of the
event said his friend Heller could not
tell much about the snake, only its
size, which has been given above, and
that it is almost black.
Mr. Schlegel was the next citizen
from Thompsontown, who related the
dreadful experience of Heller and the
nervous prostration that overtook
him, after the encounter with the
snake. About the time he was leav
ing Thompsontown, prominent citi
zens had raised several dollars to be
given to men, who would bring the
reptile from the mountain. He said
the citizens down there were talking
of two things about the snake: That
the skin should be taken off and stuff
ed or that it should be preserved in
alcohol He thought taking the skin
off and stuffing it would be the cheap
er way. It would take a hogshead of
aiconoi to preserve a snake of that
size. Someone thought any half doz
en men, who should invest in a hogs
head of alcohol could easily see more
than one snake 18 feet long and
inchos thick.
The next prominent citizn from
Thompsontown on Saturday, was
A. B. Evans, Esq. He bad heard of
Heller s experience from others, and
he knows Heller to be a truthful man
but he had not spoken to him, since,
me exciting reports prevail. Hi sai l:
Other men now tell of having seen
an enormous ss&ke or two on Tusca-
rora mountain, but at the time thev
saw the snakes they said nothing,
being convinced in their own minds
that people would cay the snakes tbey
had seen had bcrn magnified in their
eyes by fright. By Saturday even
ing there was more talk about the
Thompsontown scake than any other
subject. The size of the reptile as
tonished everyone. Where did the
monster come from? Did it eome
from the tropics? Was it a snake es
caped from a show? Did it develope
its ponderous proportions on Tusca
rora mountain? If it is a Tuscarora
mountain spontaneous development,
others of the same size may lurk on
its mountain side, a thousand feet
above the valley, and some day per
chance, just as Heller did, some oth
er citizen may have a still more des
perate battle with a snake giant of
that wild section. A snake of that
size could swallow a man as easily as
a garter snake as thick as a man's
thumb swallows a toad five times
thicker. It would be no less strange
for Tuscarora mountain to soon tan,
eously develope a snake of such a
giant size than for a human body to
aeveiope a louse or lor a human bed
to develope a bed-bug. All that is
necessary is to have the proper con
ditions and nature gives life and de
velopment Start an army of sol
diers into active servic, clean and in
new clothes from the stocking to the
cap on their heads. By uncleanly
habits the body louse will be devel
oped among them spontaneously and
so with the bed in human habitation.
A new bed in a new house under cer
tain coditions will develop the bed
bug. Where did the lice and bed
bngs come from. If they were spon
taneously developed through certain
conditions, it would not be a difficult
feat for nature to develope monster
snakes in Tuscarora mountain, if all
Conditions be favorable for such de
velopment. S. Boyd Murray, pro
prietor of the National hotel, rode to
Thomposntown on Sunday on his
wheel to see the snake, but it had
not then been brought into the town.
and people there were fearful that
by the time all things were in shape
to bring the snake to town, that the
warm weather of 88 degrees heat
would so bloat and corrupt the thing
that the offensive odor arising from
the carcass would render its trans
portation impossible. The party that
went to the mountain on Sunday with
Heller for the snake, found the local
ity where the fight took place and
from the place a trail spotted with
blood led to a ledge of rocks of many
acres in extent. There the trail was
lost and the belief among the search
ers for the snake is that Heller's cut
with the saw did not. kill it only
stunned it for the time being, and
that when it recovered vitality
enough it glided away to its den
among the rocks, there probably to
die, from the saw wound in the neck
