Cold Couldn't Kill 1t.

An Oil City (Pa.) ice dealer was as
tonished the other day to find big wa
tersnake coiled up inside Of cake of
ice, frozen stiff as steel. 1t had been
frozen up last winter. The iceman
broke open the block of CONCEALED wa.
ter, and thinking the reptile was dead
threw it on an ash pile in the hot sun.
An hour later the snake, having thawed
out, crawled away none the more I'm.
comfortable for it's frigid sleep of seven
months. The iceman didn't kill it out
of pure sympathy for its hardihood.

What in thunder does great big

The merchant began to smooth him
