covered u rattlesnake stretched at full length
by the side OF the road. Before his father could
check him he had climbed down from the
vehicle and grabbed the reptile, fortunately
close by the head, and started TO climb into
the wagon again. His father stopped the
horses and commanded the young man to
throw the snake away, but the boy would not
do IT, In fact, could not, for the hedtous thing
had coiled itself around his arm, and was wag-
cling It's tall in hts face, making music, blood
curdling under the circumstances. BY this time
the mother and father were almost wild with
fright and anxiety for their sons safety, but
the little fellow did not seem to mind IL in
the least, and held the hat head within or 10
inches Of his face, and Knocked the darling in
and out OF fiery red tongue. Cauti0ning his
son to keep tighter hold on the snake. the
father climbed out Of the vehicle, and. draw
ing his stilletto, took frm hold ot the snake
over his sons hand and severed the head from
the body. and unwound the latter from the
boys arm and measured 1t. With the head
the snake measured 3 ieet lob inches.
