NEAR-UNTO DEATH,
Snalre Huntsr O'Re lily's Closa Call
with a Copperhead.
Up in Futuara county, just a short
distance east of Cold Spring on the
Hudson, is a famous place for the most
dangerous game to be found in this
part of the country the copperhead.
So common are these venomous snakes
that hunters when intending; to tramp
through the thick underbrush or the
all marsh reed which flank all the
roads about there wear hcary boots
reaching1 above the knee for protection
against the bites. In the very hot and
dry rceathcr, when snakes are liveliest
and fiercest, sportsmen scarcely ven
ture in the thicker part of the woods
at all. The snake fame of this locality
reached the ears of G. K. O'Reilly, of
the Royal Zoological Society of Ire
land, an opuiolojrist who is in this
country studying 'American snakes,
and he decided to go up to Cold Spring
and try to get some copperheads alive.
Mr. O'Reilly has had experiences with
the cobra of Africa, the fcr-de-lance
of the West Indies, the diamond-back
rattlesnake of this country and most
of the other venomous anakes known
to science, but never did he come
nearer to a disastrous termination of
his career than on hi little jaunt to
Cold Spring. Also he was treated to
repetition of a lesson in snalcery
which he learned long ago, that one
tnust be prepared for anything and
everything in hunting anakes.
It was not a very favorable day
when he reached Cold Spring with a
companion from this city. The two
went directly to I. e. Uanyen, of rtel
sonville, who knows more about
snakes than any other man in Putnam
county, and asked him for informa
tion regarding the haunts of the cop
perheads. Go right down to Muddy bridge,
about three miles from here," said the
veteran." ''You can find more copper
heads there than there is in a barrel of
applejack. What are you going to
catch 'em with 7"
"Here's our outfit," said Mr. O'Reilly,
exhibiting a long stick crooked at one
end, and a big bag. "I nail the cop
perhead down by putting the stick
across his neck and then I drop him
into the bag, and there you are?"
Well," said the old man, "I'd bate
to issue an insurance policy on your
life."
The snake hunter laughed, and
after thanking Squire Ilanycn for the
information, walked on with his com'
pnnion. Toward noon it came on very
warm, and the hunters going to Muddy
bridge fell In with a young man named
Lasher. O'Reilly' friend went on
about a mile to explore an open field,
while the snake expert stayed to make
some inquiries of Lasher. -
"I don't know how it is when you're
hunting for them," said that young
man: "but when you're looking for
other things there's more copperheads
than you want In this patch of woods
at oilr'right. Thick boots have saved
me more than once in there. If you're
going in I'll stay here in the road and
watch for snake Brassing, over. But
you want to be mighty careful where
yon step." v ,
This advice was shouted after the
scientist, whd hid already plunged
Into the thicket, tatting his long stick
with him., I'rogress was very slow.
The explorer was pretty tired when he
had forced his way through a hundred
yards of the thielc tangle, and the sight
old little clearing "where a big tree
had fallen was very TOloome, It was
not quite ft Clearing cither,' for near
the tree a .thick setting of Bowery
creepers had sprang up, through which
only small patches of ground could be
seen. In one of these openings Mr.
O'lteilly saw what appeared to be a
good -size d-eopperhead. The snake had

Bciently dangerous to maice mm eau

that he couid not move with celerity
in any direction. Although the snake

very awkward position for catching

j lay now tan the snake's seek, and at
wilk his right hand and knee the
hunter held it there firmly, he qutekly
reached in with his left hand and took
his snakeship round the throat with
the top of his thumb beneath the un
der jaw anSiciently far down to escape
the clasp of the fangs, and yet not so
low that the ana We could possibly torn
it head to bite him. Having the prey
now securely the hunter drew it forth
from the coil, which had never moved
in the slightest Hut on drawing out
the snake what was O'Reilly's horror
to discover that the coil was not one
snake but taro; and the second and
larger reptile, now for the first time
showing-- it bead, was nnfriedly
getting ready to strike.
Strike it did, and it was only the
multitude of the weedstalks in which
it lay that saved the naturalist's hand
from the deadly venom. In his long
training as a snake hunter quickness
of thought and action grow to be
second nature with Mr. O'Reilly. A
leap backward carried him ont of
range. The next thing was to capture,
if possible, the second snake, for the
hunter had no thought of letting any
chances escape him. Holding his
writhing captive In his left hand, and
gripping, his stick firmly with the
ight, he pressed it over the neck of
the second reptile. But this was a
powerful copperhead. It easily glided
from beneath the stick, biting at it
savagely, and made straight for its
persecutor. Then changing it mind,
it swerved and glided away ia the un
derbrush. More than ever determined
not to lose this specimen, O'Reilly fol
lowed, tramping down the weeds and
calling at the top of his voice:
Lasher! Lasher! Help! Copper.
heads! Come in here quick!"
A crash irthe underbrush told the
scientist that help was coming, but it
would be too late for the capture of
the copperhead. A few yards off was
refuge for the snake. A large rock
rested partly over auotHer and smaller
one, leaning against it at an angle ot
forty-five degrees to the ground, thu
leaving an opening behind the smaller
rock. Into this opening the snake
darted Its head. At the eight of his
quarry thus escaping, the pursuer grew
reckless. Dropping his stick be threw
himself down upon the ground, reached
forward with his unoccupied hand and
grabbed the fugitive by the tall. But
he had not calculated on the shape of
the rock crevice and In a moment, to
his dismay, he saw thfr flat head of the
enemy twist up from another opening
between the rocks and slowly near his
face.
Once, twice, and a third time the
savage reptile struck at hi face, and
the last time Mr. O Keilly thought
that he felt a drop of venom flung
from the fangs to hi cheek. But the
snake couldn't reach any further,
Still, it was an alarming position. If
O'Reilly let go the tnuke would be

feet. lit position was not only pain
ful, but very tiring, and he felt that
he could not hold out long. The cap

all, Lasher had evidently missed his
direction, as, to judge by the sounds.
he was crashing underbrush a con
siderable distance away. The hunter,
now a eaptive himself, shouted to him
again, and after what seemed'a long
time the young man burst through the
bushes and ran to the prostrate
O'Reillv. onlv to lean back with a cry
of torror. He had all bitt touched the
copperhead in the naturalist' left
hand. ...
What a that you've got there?" he
cried,
So great was O'Reilly's relief that h
grew facetious
That' an African rhinoceros, he
replied, !'and that thing in my other
hand is a polar bear. Can't you see for
yourself? If youre through asking
questions of great scientific interest
perhaps you'll open that ba and help
me caeo my menagerie.
The voung man got the first-caught
copperhead into the bag, after which
he flattened his gun barrel dows over
the other snake's head. Fearing, how
ever, that this would kill or injure the
snake, the scientist told him to raise
the run. . At this the reptile turned
batk.on its own length ad made for
the hand that held it. Lucky It was
for O'Reilly that it bad not made this
move before. Upon seeing it head
coming lie let go his hold on the tail
and took np his stick to be ready. On
came the snake right out of the hole
and commenced to coil for a spring,
directly in the ope within shadow of
the rock. But O'Reilly' snake stick
forestalled it, and slid in over its neck
lust behind the head. Then it was
dropped into the bag with its eompan

put it in a large iron pot, with about a
quart of boiling water to one goixi

it boil hard for a boot five or ten mm-
nU-s, and then set it back where it will
steam slowly for about six hours. At
the end of this time nearly all the
water will be absorbed, and the pump
kin will be sweet and tender. Presa it
piece by piece through a vegetable
press. By this means the pumpkin
ahould be well drained and thoroughly
strained, hardly more motet than a well
mashed potato. Take four eup of
this strained pumpkin, add four eup
of rich milk, a teaspoon ful of salt, two
of ginger, one of nutmeg and one of
mace, a small cup of sugar and four or
five eggs according to their sue. Borne
housekeepers prefer to bring ths milk
to a boiling point before they use it,
and this undoubtedly gives a richer
pie. Pour the pumpkin thu pre
pared into deep pie plate that have
been lined with pastry. A properly
made pumpkin pie is at least an Inch
thick. See that at least halt the plate
are square tins,' which give the de-
ightful corner piece of old time.
A squash pie is much more easily
made and this may be the reason why
it has taken the place of pumpkin in
some localities. For among vegetables
the fittest does, not snrvive, but that
which is the easiest handled and give
the least trouble. To make a squash
pie use five enpa of strained and cooked
squash to one quart of boiling milk.
Add a grated nutmeg, a heaping tea-
spoonful of salt, the juice oi half a
lemon, a tablospoonful of butter and
five or six eggs, according to size. Bake
the pie for from forty-five to fifty min
utes in a rapid stove oven. In the old-
fashioned brick oven they were baked
about one hour. N. Y. Tribune.

says, for three day. A successful ex

recently in the presence of the earl ol

Rear Admiral Uowdeu-Smiih gave the
opinion that the boat was all that Mr.

with a capital stock of 10,000,OIK1 1).
H. Louderback, 3. L. Cochran, Dun'.ap
Smith and others are incorisorators,
and it Is generally understood that the
stock i hwrgelyHield by eoptoMHuta-wlw
are behind the Northwestern elevated
road. Indeed, Mr. Laudcrback, presi
dent of tho Northwestern L, is said to
have admitted that such was the case,
and added that, the new electric linen
were to be used as feeders for the
Northwestern L, much as the North
Shore electric line is now used to attract
travel to the north division cable sys
tem, The new line will connect with
the Northwestern L at Wilson avenue,
0) miles from the county building in a
northwesterly direction. The road will
run as close to the lake shore as pass!
ble, and take-in all the towns between
Chicago and Milwaukee.. Preliminary
surveys are now being made, and, if the
road Is ever built, it will be the longest
siugle electric railway line extant, tho
length being about ninety miles.
