with Stick, She Destroyed Five Cop
perhsads.
Clara Greth, ffteen-year-old girl,
living with her parents on the outskirts
of Reading, Pa, who had some thrill
ing experiences with rattlesnalces and
eopperheads last summer, was sitting
on the front steps the other morning,
when she spied q big copperhead sun
ming himself on the sloping bank oppo-
site the house.
She was pluclEy and self-reliant, and
without telling anybody she determined
to kill it. Taking up a shovel from the
coal shed, she ran over to the bank,
where she found three copperheads in
stead of one, and they al showed fight.
She quickly dispatched two of them,
but the third and largest one repeated
" leaped at her. After g short strug-
gle, however, she succeeded in stretch
ing it out dead with its companions,
saws the Cincinnati Commercial-Ga Gazette.
AS soon as she could recover her
breath she examined the ground care
fully and came to the conclusion that
the snakes must have come ouS Of a
large hole beside an old fence post. So
she kept an eye on the place during the
rest of the morning, and late in the aft
ernoon was delighted to see d big cop
perhead come up and coil himself in the
sunshine near the post hole.
She crept up behind it noiselessly and
contrived to place herself between it
and the post hole before the reptile was
aware of her presence. She then struck
it with heavy stone, but missed her
mark, whereupon the snake sprang
wickedly at her bare feet She jumped
back lightly, just in time to escape the
blow. Then, before the enraged rep
tile could strike again, she hurled an
other stone at it, this time with truer
aim, and broke its back.
But no sooner had she made sure of
that snake than fifth one, bigger than
any Of the others, made its appearance.
It fought hard, but she attacked it fear
lessly. No more stones Of effective size
were near at hand, SO the brave girl
