aged me about sleeping on the ground, 
so I bought a hammock. That night I 
tried to hang it in the tent, but it sagged 
so I gave it up and rolled up in my blan- 
ket on the ground. 
Soon I heard a most disturbing 
scratching and rattling in the tent. It 
probably was a big beetle in the leaves. 
As nothing developed I finally went to 
sleep. 
We hear some very strange snake 
stories about their charming people. 
I once rode on a little steamboat that 
was towing rafts of logs on the Missis- 
sippi. The captain and crew were all 
from the little village on Lake Pepin, 
called Pepin City. The captain’s brother 
was mate and he told me the following 
story : 
A man who lived back on the bluff was 
walking along beside his stone fence 
when he saw his neighbor stooping over 
and looking very strange. He went over 
the wall and found his neighbor was 
stupidly gazing down at a rattlesnake 
which had its head raised and was sway- 
ing back and forth. 
He grabbed a club and killed the snake. 
Then his neighbor gave a long sigh and 
straightened up. He said he looked down 
and saw the snake in front of him, and 
after the first look he had no idea what 
happened. 
I questioned the captain and crew and 
told them I was not a “tenderfoot,” or ig- 
norant about snakes, and it was really no 
joke to work off a yarn like that on me, 
but they all told the same story and in- 
sisted that it was true. 
I have heard of but one case of a rat- 
tlesnake attacking a person. An old na- 
tive of South Florida claims he snared a 
big diamond-back and dragged him to 
his house intending to shut him in a box 
and show him in town. Then he decided 
he was safer dead, so chopped his head 
off. Soon after this his wife was in the 
yard and a big rattler came up the trail 
where he had dragged the other. It at- 
tacked and struck at her, tearing her skirt 
with its fangs, but immediately turned 
and raced away into the brush. 
Last winter two of my friends were 
fishing for black bass along the south 
fork of the St. Lucie River. They came 
upon two big diamond-backs and killed 
one of them. The mate, instead of at- 
tacking them, slid away into the thick 
brush and they had no desire to go in 
after it.
