father of boy fourteen months old.
Mrs. AcxaDder's curiosity became
aroused the other day to learn why the
baby wanted to be on the floor so much
lately. The child always crawled be-
hind the door of one of the rooms and
would remain quietly there for hours.
When Mrs. Alexander discovered this
the idea struck her that there must be a
cause. On looking she was horrlfed to
discover full grown black snake in the
corner. A large hole in the hooor led
from the room to underneath the house.
The child was patting the snake on the
head aud dividing its bread with it,
and the reptile showed its regard for
the baby by wagging its tail.
