Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     Thomas Jefferies, member of the Rough Rider club of Cincinnati, who had been camping on the Ohio river near Lawrenceburg, Ind., got up in the night and took a drink from a spring near by. This was at 1 o’clock, and in a few minutes after he retired he awoke his companions with his groans. A doctor was summoned, but before the physicians arrived the man nearly died. Jefferies was given an emetic, and he coughed up a green snake six inches long. Jefferies has now entirely recovered.
