warm thing when eaten, but that does
not prove us relation-hip to the Mexi

The l)ir and Hie Snapping-Tm tie.
A day or two ago a twelve-pound
' suajtpiug turtle strolled into t he village
of DiTby, among ihe Connecticut hills,
and moved down its nriuciule street.
- ! leisurely gazing at the sights. At John
Han ley's residence it. siiddenlv paused.
! John llanley h: s a dog, ambitip ts dig
i niiietl and iuquisi.ivc. Ti:e dog caught
sight of the turtle at about the moment
it stopped walking, and, after having
meditated a minute or two, evidently
I concluded it was worth looking into
Slowly and cautiously he advanced to
the turtle in the road, which, apparently
having decided that there was fun to be
had with the dg, drew in the the out
posts of himself, laid low and kept very
si ill. The do sn'ffed at the Untie,
then drew' away suddenly, walked gin
gerly about the queer find, an I suitfe ;
aga 11. The turtle remained as motion
less as a rock. Again the dog waik-d
about it, then sniffed at it, finally
opened his jaws with a sudden resolute
ci c!c, picked np the beast aud started
for his home, doubtless intending t
astonish his master wish his singular
discovery. lleh dn't gone far, how
ever, before something happened. Sail
a Dtt4y man, who had witnessed ti e
proceedings with curious interest : Tn
one momtmt there was a dog-gone cir-
cms in every sense of the term. The
dog had yt got a good holtLof the
turtle when suddenly the turtle s long
head shot out, and its laws closed with
a resenlless grasp on the dog's cheek.
ltiucan believe there was music then.
The dog jumped two feet into the air
and siic-OiC his head furioulv.
honied and pranced, bounded, rolbd
iir'the (lust, descrihed all forms of geo
metiical figmes, but the turtle held on
and went with him.
"The snapper wa a stayer. lie had
caught on to the dog's idea, and fol
lowed it perfectly. lie was in it as
long as the dog's hide held. Finally
ti e dog got up on his hind legs stamL
ing straight in the air, and shook the
tur 1 sav. ge y ; th. n he clawed at the
enemy vtiiu both fore paws, but it was
im go. Just at this moment, however,
John llanley, who lmd been aroused by
the uproar in the-street, rushed on the
scene, and sized up the situation in an
instant. Fir.st he caught the dog and
draggej.hiin into the house, -thtn he j
got the family tons, caught the sky-
larkmg turtle and rammed one leg of

was only after repeated Tabs of this
sort, however, that he finally forced the
turtle to let go. Then he "wanel it
out of the kitchen window into the gar
den. The dog? Well, he is better,
but it will be a long and cold day be
fore he undertakes to monkey wjth a
snapper agaiu. ' N. Y. Suu.
