A RattIesnake in the Bed.

Mrs. James Williamson, who lives
near Oakland, ILL.,, had a terrifying
experience Saturday with a rattle
snake. She had left her six-months-
old baby asleep in its cradle near the
open door, and was about her house
hold duties, when she happen to ap
proach the little bed. She saw line
OF NOTED green and black nestled
closely to the form of the sleeping lit
tie one The ugly head was raised
and resting on the child's arm, with
the eyes keeping drowsy watch over
it. The mother, armlng herself with
a pistol, bent over the cradle, laid
hold of the snake by the end of the
tail and suddenly gave it jerk which
landed it on the floor. The reptile
raised its head. sounding its rattle as
it coiIed close to her feet. Aiming
steadily. she put a ball through its
body, and, although il again tried to
attack her, she continued firing until
it was killed.
