A little Polish girl on the shores
of the Ottawalake, while kneeling
and drinking from pool last week
swallowed a small spotted snake
about twelve inches long. She has,
it is said, been in horrible agony
since. The doctors have passed
long tubes through her mouth into
the stomach and pumped in and out
again salt and water, water and
chloroform, to destroy or stupefy the
monster, so that nature might relieve
her of its presence. At the last in-
