business head as his chief working

grandson, Willie Rice, years old,
while playing in the yard, shared his
nursing bottle with great, fat shiny

have an abnormal appetite. He usually
took his bottle, after being filled, into
the yard, where it was supposed he en-
ioyed it himself One day the bottle
was filled with coffee, we'll diluted with
cream. The little boy went into the
yard, and soon returned for more, cali

something. Mr.. Herbert followed his
grandson, who went to where the snake
lay. The babe sucked awhile, and theI.
