BIG SLEEVE SAVED Her.
.lIiss Florence, Sears struck by a Copper
head Snake at West Point.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The balloon
sleeves of the dress that Miss Florence
: sears wore when she went on a pleasure
"trip to West Point were of the largest size
that fashion allows, and they saved her
life.
Now, these sleeves were of no ordinary
limsy type, but were ribbed with stays OF
whalebons and stood out like the spinna-
ker Of q racing ynoht
With party of friends Miss Sears went
by bont up the Hudson, and getting of
at Cranstons scrambled up the mountain
that looks down over the plain where
young soldiers are trained.
Miss Sears was in the lead, and catching
sight Of a bunch of pretty wild flowers mp
the mountain side she climbed TO get
thom
Just as the young woman stopped to
pluck the flowers she heard a startling,
Kissing sound. Not realizing what tho
danger was, she threw up her right arm
TO ward off some unseen peril In mo
mont n copperhead snake struck at her
l from beneath a loose rock just above
where she was standing.
Miss Sears saw the reptile as IL struck
at her. 1t was too late to jump back, and
the arm that she had thrown upward
caught the blow. II saved her face from
injury, and the balloon sleove of her waist
almost baflled the snake.
But tho stroke of the poisonous reptile
was a vigorous one. The sharp teeth and
fangs tOre through the light cloth and
hooked In the whalebone stays.
As the reptiles weight dragged it down
1t tore the sleeve, and the fangs scratched
along the skin from shoulder 10 elbow.
Tho incisions, however, were not deep,
and the deadly poison, It is beloved, did
not enter tho victims veins.
At Miss Sears feet was large stone
She was still bending over when th'
snake struck her She picked up the stone
and crushed the snakes head before II
could gather itself for another strike.
When she had bravely done this, without
uttering a scream, her courage sBnished
She gave one cry and fell fainting across
the dead snake.
Her friends heard the shrek and ran Il
her They found the dead snake and th
unconscious woman lying on the rocks
and crawling through the woods to escap

nest that Miss Sears had disturbed
The bleeding arm was bandaged ant
medical attendance secured at Highlan
Falls. The whole party returned to tn
city on the afternoon boat.
Miss Sears went to her home, 234 Wes
One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, an
physicians were summoned. They sal
that not enough poison shad entered he
system to be fatal, although the arm swell
cd great deal and caused intense pain.

several years She came to this country
visit her parents and was to have returne
