Booth of the Stoke? * county game reserve, caught and caged a rattle- v snake for tourists and visitors to marvel over, ? ( . North Winston fruit dealer extracted a tp* fromalwch of bananas and # exhib {. tion in h 1 " , • > •' '.'WlVi > * ¥ Strange attractions for trade, especially, the j "unique form of adverting set up by the North I Winst;r\ '"merchant. Since I heard about it lit my Fifth Street newspaper office, 1 have done: all of my trading south of Salem bvidge. There is a vast difference between these two star terrors, though. Both are vicious, both are deadly-, and either is a customer no man wants intimate acquaintance with. # # There are some things which may be said m the rattlesnake's favor, but of course this is only when you compare him with a tarantula. He is proverbially chivalrous in his affairs, and vei\ discriminating. Before he strikes —and light is not more swift than his bite" —he invariably warns you by his rattle, that peculiar sound created by the vibration of the ring of shells on his tail, once heard, never forgotten. His favorite haunt is along the cool bank of the mountain stream, where the rhododendron bends and the ivy and honeysuckle lure you with their beauty and fragrance. But when you hear that ominous sound, you remain in that vicinity at your peril. You are within range, and the rattler never misses his aim. He will observe, too, a kind of "Marquis of Queensbury" rule not to hit you as low down as, your shoe, for fear he might dull his fine points on your leather. But he seeks for his fangs the more vulnerable fleshy part of your leg. We are speaking, of course, of men, as women do not so often expose themselves to rattlesnakes along shaded mountain creeks. The rattler is a humane sort of foe, he loves to hit an artery, when following the infusion of his virus in a vital spot, there is not much left for the under taker to do. But the tarantula, the huge spider of the tropics, does not give you notice. Lying crouched in a black ball of horror and death, watching from his baleful eyes the approach of any living thing, he springs with terrifically concentrated hair c.n-1 vengeance. Like lightning fastening his r.r lars in your anatomy, being a coward, he jurnr •' hack into the jungle while you check out,l not v/.iiV'ng to wrap you up warmly like the rat tlesnake. The lattler i> a beautiful creature if one is wilhr" to d .'liberate!;/ study his curves, his won-, derfio 11. e ilations, and his charming evolutions.i He i the very poetry of motion, and this fine quality imparted *:o you when you undertake, TO examine him. The color of a rattlesnake's, back i a * exquisitely traced as the figures on a rare rsi-n carpet. The color of his eyes has nev - . been agre- 1 upon by his admirers. 0; ':e other hand, the tarantula is the most repu! 1 v N obiec* that natural science has yet put out. Only Shakespeare eculd describe the dis gust: nr.* boj re-r ol' this animal that looks like a fuz/.;/ crawfish, covered with brown hair. No wonder bananas so often give children the colic. | Whatever induced this uncouth, unwelcome visitor to leave Hayti and come to, North Caro lina ! do no' I\v, ur.l: sit was to teach the trad !c - rn r. Vnts seme of the element.-', of ! v i A ''.o 1 - ;:t him at close range. mak s each s'.parait hr to stand on end, like 1 th ou'lls ' •"! fretful porcupine. /•■r-'l now, in the nr. or- ef the angels ar.cl minis-! lei ' g'aee why it jr. AU nt nature has produced sue 1 terrors to tantalize the human race, and 1 ---, modern age of refinement and cullure should be interest d in this last of thrills, neither can T satisfactorily account! for, nor anybody else for that matter, except j on the theory that anything is refreshing to look i at after viewing so long this darned depression. 1 THE DANBURY REPORTER F.
