"That baby has been here a dozen

court this morning.

dressed in white. Itcooed and spluttered
in the arms of a female prisoner ar
raigned before the court 90 answer
charge Of intoxication and disorderly
conduct-eviienuy a victim of liquor
and eyil associates. She fondled the lit
tie baby with a mothers love and begged
the Judge 10 give her one more chance,
''iust Tor baby's sake" The scheme
worked. and theprisoner was discharged.
Once outside the court room she ceased
fondling the infant, told il to ''shut its
mouth, and, finging Il into the arms of
another besottod wretch worse than her
self, hurried away. The scene was wit
messed by Telegram reporter, and led
20 inquiries regarding the remark Of the
policeman as to the number Of times the
baby had appeared in court. He said:
sits a regular business 20 let out ba-
bies 10 female prisoners arraigned in the
police bourts for intoxication and disor-
derly conduct. The old 'stagers' know
that the judges have no sympathy for
them. and all their excuses about seeing

shrewd women have invented the scheme
Of coming TO court with cute little ba-
bies tugging at their breasts while they

will die for want Of care. These demon
strations OF love appear so genuine that

are shy and dmid. Very rarely do they
bite, and then only when driven by fear.
The largest snake in the swamp is the
king snake, which grows 10 be ten feet
in length. The rattlesnake is fortunately
rare in the swamp. II is mostly seen
near the feeder, and is the diamond or
water rattlesnake, the largest and most
sullenly ferocious Of its dread family. 1t
has brown back and a dirty yellowish
belly. A 'swamper" said he had seen
one this year that was eight feet long.
The most dangerous snake in the
swamp is one Of the smallest, called the
poplar snake. He is about twelve inches
in length, green in color, like that Of the
poplar tree in which he lives. We es-
capped him most fortunately, for before
we heard of him we had defiowered
many poplars Of their beautiful blossoms.
This sake is a direful pest; from his
size and color he is not easily seen. and
his poison is said TO resemble the rattle
snakes.
The water moccasin is a venomous
snake, and it is surprising. considering
his countless presence in the swamp. that
so few people are bitten. This reptile lit
orally infests all quarters of the swamp.
Other snakes, more or less numerous,
are the black snake (sometimes nine feet
long,, the horned snake and the jointed
snake. Abeham and Jim said that they
had often killed this latter questionable
reptile, and that it had "broken into
pieces about two and half inches long"
