HEN HOVERED A SNAKE. MARTINSVILLE, Ind., June 28.
—Monday .afternoon, .Miss Mary Robinson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Robinson, living four and onehalf miles south of this city, while attending to the sitting hens found one of them hovering an unusual
‘‘chick.”
The Elks and their wives and friends certainly had a merry time Tuesday night, when the lodge celebrated the fourth anniversary of its founding, with a picnic held in the lodge rooms. It was tbe intention to hold the picnic at Stoner’s grove, but the plans were changed on account of the wet weather. More than one hundred and fifty persons were present at the festivities Tuesday night. The affair and feast commenced at a little after six o’clock when the ladies served the eats. The spread was served on tables running the entire length of the lodge rooms. Each 'of the wives and sweethearts of the Elks’ brought a large basket of eats and each basket contained at least one fried spring chicken. It was after seven o’clock before the last of the hungry had satisfied the inner man and after everybody had eaten an ‘‘elegant-'sufflclency,’’ there was still a large amount of good things left. The Elks and their friends were invited by the members of the Calumet Club to the Columet hall to dance. The invitation was accepted and the merry ones made merry until a late hour.

Barrett corroborates the statement -‘that Indiana is the natural home of •blue grass. I have heard Col Tom ■ttowling, of Terre Haute, repent Henry Clay’s admission that blue grass was imported frtnm Indiana
Into Kentucky.”
To at least two persons from In- ■ diana, Henry D. Lane, of Crawfiordsville, and Col. Thomas Dowlof Terre Haute, Henry Clay, the ■r.fpet commoner, declared that the •-*#ed of the original blue grass which 'has made Kentucky famfous came from Indiana. When Col. Dowling! visited Mr. Clay and asked for a hanflful of the seed of the real Ken- ■ wteky blue grass to take home .’ith 'him the proprietor of the AsU’anJ kmiled and then reminded the visiter that blue grass was indegnous to ♦he soil of central Indiana which *vas a limestone base with a superMnicture of clay, and that the Kentucky soldiers in the early Indian Vat*, returning from Fort Harrison, •o tho Wabash, found it growing in VTofusiOn there and bought the

under the hens to see if all the eggs were there, she thrust her hand under one old “biddy” and withdrew it much quicker than she put it under it, for to her surprise she had touched a black snake in-
stead of an egg.
Prof. J. E. Robinson, her uncle, and her father who wer near, heard the scream and thinking that perhaps she had been seriously hurt in some manner, went to her rescue. Prof. Robinson was too nervous to attempt to kill the snake and Joe not having time to hunt the “hoe,’’ the standby weapon of defense against creeping reptiles, seized a club and killed It. The tape line was brought from the house and the snake when measured, was found to be five feet long. Prof. Robinson thinks that the hen hatched the snake, as she seemed to want to continue “hovering’’ if after it was killed.

The hospital will accommodate about 100 patients, and there are now only about fifty there. The hospital authorities will not take a patient suffering with tuberculosis in advanced form, it being for the exclusive care of Incipient cases. I
