There are long piles of spool wood sawed
from white birch, longer piles of kiln
wood and tirewood, and logs also in

The extreme individuality of Steuben vii
lage never shows itself to better advan-
tage han on frosty, moonlight night.
You will be pleased with the fine houses
and the neat church, comforted by the
thought that you are within reach of the
telephone, glad to know that the stores
are large and wel-stocked, and that the
neighbors are kind and agreeable, and a
neat little post office at hand, and a hotel.
But as you ride along you cannot help
feeling that there is a something per-
vading the air that you have never felt
elsew here; quiet at its best, Steuben looks
doubly impressive by moonlight. You
have crossed many bridges, but never one
which seems like the one with the old
imp standing like a sentinel at its
western end, to guard it. The mill and
pond near Smithville are picture in
themselves, and the fragrant woods
through which you pass help to make
your ride pleasing, and remind you that
they are green and shady hooks in
summer, as well as warm retreats for the
little wild creatures in winter. There are
a few old two-story houses here which are
quite unlike any have seen elsewhere in

built here, long ago, when the town was
new and Maine had few settlements, but
many of them are very good homes at

The Baby and the Snake.

Snake stories were the order of the
evening when b. II. Winterbower Of
Meade county, Ky, said: Il can tell you
enc that is true TO the letter and quito as
surprising as any of your yarns. a sister
in-law of mine, living in tie vicinity OF
Carrot, Ky, had girl baby hardly years
old and not able to talk plainly She con
tracted "a habit of taking a cup of bread
and milk every morning and strolling of
into some high weeds back of the horse
pond Her mother thought nothing of it
until finally her curiosity was aroused, as
the child could not be prevailed upon to
sit in the house and eat and would say in
infantile prattlc, Give pretty sing some
lone day her mother followed her, and
the sight she beheld almost caused her to
swoon. She screamed, grabbed the child
and ran to the house She was too agi-
tated for a time to speak, and then only
in disjointed sentences, until she had torn
the child's cloteiing off and carefully cx-
amined it. Finding she was unhurt, she
became calmer and told what she had dis
covered She saw her child sitting in the
weeds with her bread and milk In her lap
and in front of her big black snake. She
was feeding the snake with the bread and
milk. The child showed not the slightest
fear. On the contrary, she was in high
glee and seemed to be delighted with her
strange pet. The snake was killed the
next morning. The child seemed to miss
it, and for u week or moro she had big
cry at not being allowed to go out as usual
TO feed it."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

which rope, stretched along line of
stakes, led to farmhouse over the hill
attracted the attention of a newspaper
correspondent. This line in summer
serves as guidance to poor old blind man,
Simon Sargent, who lives in the house
and who, every fine day in Summer,
comes to sit by the roadside to talk with
the passers-by. When dinner time comes
he feels his way to the house by means Of
the rope, but comes out again in the
afternoon. Mr. Sargent has lost his wife
and only daughter, and he and his son,
James, live together at the old homestead.
Nearly every one who goes by stops to
speak to him, and these informal calls are
his chief pleasure.
