while working on his fern, heard a strange
kissing sound coming from a log pile.
Wondering what 1t could be, he removed
the logs one by one. After several had
been removed he was Mortified TO see a
mighty serpent, with a head resembling
that Of a babe, spring up. Back from the
low forehead coursed an abundance of soft
hair, md beneath the wrinklsd brow, peered
eyes of evil.
From its lips darted forked tongue, as
the monster, fully eight feet long and as
thick as a mans thigh. tried to spring upon
the farmer. Mr.. Baker called a friend.

Both took their axes and one struck the
monster blow on the back Of its head
while the other tackled its body.
The brute writhed and hissed in horrible
agony, and the sound IL emitted was per-
fectly awful. IL made an effort to strike
with its powerful tail, but the men kept
clear OF 1t until the snake was dispatched by
repeated blows. Mr.. Baker says that NC
Cartney will testify to the truth of his as
sertions.

THE MIRACULOUS WINDOW.

Bishop Cotter Views Il But Sees
Nothing Supernatural About 1t.
WINoEA, MINI, Oct. 9.-The Canton
window that has been removed TO Winona
was on Wednesday subjected to an exsmi-
nation by Bishop Cotter in the presence Of a
few Catholic clergymen and members of the
medical profession. None present except
Father Jones believed there was anything
miraculous about il. They viewed il as an
ordinary piece of glass slightly stAined in
places.
Father Jones is the priest who ministers
30 the churches at Fountain and Canton.
His belief in the miraculous power OF the
window is absolute. He has Travelled con-
siderably in the south and in Europe and
studied in Roman university. IL Is not
improbable that Bishop Cotter may put an
end TO the present talk about the miraculous
window by its destruction. At any rate II
is not likely that it will be returned to
Canton.
