How's this for Nerve.

Mrs. Adam Strait, an aged woman
living two miles from Adrian, Mich,
was cutting grass on the river fats
recently when a big snake wound itself
around her bare ankle and bit her. lii
her fright she dropped her sickle, but
quickly nerving herself she seized the
snake and flung it from her. It i'm
mediately coiled for a second spring,
and che jumped back. Again the
snake coiled, and when it sprang Mrs.
STREET made a swipe with the sickle
and cut it's head clean off. With the
same blow, however, she cut a big
slash in her ankle, severing two veins
and opening a wound acros the place
where the serpent had sunk its fangs.
She ran to the river and washed the
blood away and then sewed up the
wound with a needle and thread which
she had in her pocket. She started
to walk home, but soon the thread
gave way, and the wound began to
bleed afresb. She had no more thread
and could think of nothing but a big
brass safety pin which held her dress.
together. With this she gathered the
edges of the wound, and holding her.
apparel as best she could walked q
quarter of a mile to her home.
The doctors say that the profuse
bleeding saved her from serious results
of the snake bite.
The snake proved to be a rattler FIVE
feet long.-Mew York World.

Bees Stung Them to Death.

During these hot summer days, when
Charleston people fret and fume over
the bite of a small mosquito and think
it's killing, they can no doubt appre-
ciate the fate of two mules that have
Just crossed over the river in a rather
peculiar manner. A day or two ago
Mr.. A. S. Emerson had a team work
ing up the road for the City Railway.
About noon the mules were hitched
to a tree while the driver vas of a
little distance attending to other
duties. In the branches of the tree
to which the animals were fastened a
swarm of honey bees had collected and
some small boys were trying to.drive
them in a gum. When bees swarm
they get in a bunch larger than a water
bucket. The boys were determined to
capture the whole business, and cut
the limb from which they were swing
ing to and fro in the breeze. The
bees fell and lit on the big mules:
They started a regular old.fashioned
singing bee, and the mules, unable
to move, had to stand and bear it.
The boy up the tree was afraid to
como down, but through the branches
he watched the gradual swelling on
the suffering brutes, and he sent up a
boyish prayer of thanksgiving that it
wasn't him. The poor animals tore
and fumed and kicked and screamed
until their strength vas exhausted
and the poison had gotten in it's deadly
work. Then they fell over lifeless,
and later the singers circled up
through the air and flew away. But
they had conquercd.-Neus and
