Miss SanderSOn Loves All Kinds Of
Crawling Things.

and Other Serpents.

Harboring pets whose sting means
death, caressing them, teaching them
tricks and attending to their needs
and comforts quite as eagerly and
affectionately as other girls look
after their eats, dogs or canary
birds, is a fayorite occupation with
Miss Lillian Sanderson. who lives

Miss SandersOn, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner, is of a dashing bru-
nette type, and is a great social IA
vorite, being vivacious and witty and
possessing a remarkably rich. full
contralto voice. To look at her, to
hear her sing or speak, one would
never suspect that she derived her
greatest happiness in life from COM
panionship with colony of creeping,
crawling, sinuOus creatures or from
spending several weeks at time in
some old shack in the mountains
while hunting for new specimens to
add to her lively collection.
When Miss Sanderson asked of her
parents that a room in their hand
some new home be set aside for her
pets there was naturally some op-
position to establishment of a verita-
BILE Dante's Inferno within the con-
fines of the family residence; but her
whims have always been gratified
and, as usual, the girl had her way,
the result being that one of the larg-
est, sunniest apartments is thronged
with outdoor denizens-snakes, Gila
monsters, tarantulas, lizards of many
species and other queer inhabitants
the whole making a display so for
midable that even Satan himself
would drop his pitchfork and run
| from the scene.

progressing happily for some time the

As soon as the escaping couple were
out of sight Nine. Walter, with an eye
10 the advertising the escapade would
give her automobile establishment,
prepared and gave the newspapers a de-
tailed account of the runaway, so that
Paris had its sensation and papa
learned that his daughter had flown
from the parental vine and fig tree.
The fathers description of the Fun-

does justice to his daughters good

figure slim and elegant, her hair fair,
touched with gold, her eyebrows dark,
her eyelaShes black, her face oval, her
complexion fair. Even DR.. Marcile

physician offered TO renOunce all right
TO a dowry and the girl to relinquish
all share in the estate after her
fathers death if the parents only
would consent 10 the marriage. This

born in the mountains near a great
mine in which her father was inter-
ested, and as-sOOn as she was able to
tOddle among the rocks that sur
rounded the lOg-cabin home her baby
voice shouted merrily at every bug,
spider, worm or lizard that crossed
her pathway. She played with them,
handling them carefully, tenderly
and crooned TO them as most children
Groom TO their dolls, and they seemed
to reciprocate her affection by con-
tented submission.
One day when she was three years
old she slipped out and away while
her mother was busy with household
tasks. When she was missed the
usual calls failed to bring her. Sew
eral hours passed by and the moth
er became almost frantic with fear,
for there were mountain lions In the
surrounding forests, as well as many
other dangers that might assail the
child. A search party was organized,
and after a tramp of two miles
through the wilderness the yOungs-
ter was discovered behind a huge
bowlder with an immense coiled rat
tier beside her. which she was strOk-
ing as cOntentedly as if it had been
a kitten.
The snake also seemed to be en-
ioying itself immensely, and the soft
" vibrating rattles made 4 sound
like purring. The father, Mortified,
quickly grasped the baby from dan
ger and then Killed the snake. The
child screamed and sObbed and ragged
over the loss of her pet and it was
many days before she recovered her
usual sweetness of temper.
After that memorable experience
father and mother watched the child
more carefully. but in spite of their
diligence she enjoyed many a play
hour with snakes that she found or
which she enticed from their holes.
They never offered to bite her. but
accepted Eer caFesses as a matter of
course. and so il was with every ma
ture thing. She seemed to possess
some remarkable power that soothed
and made wild creatures dociIe and
tractable at her Will. At last her
parents discovered that she was car
rying on these meetings. and find
ing that no harm resulted from her
strange associates they gradually be-
came reconciled to her having rep
tilian pets, but commanded that the
"beasts" be kept in one place. and
be not introduced into the general
domestic life. And so. with the eI-
ception of a huge gopher snake that
rids the place of mice. and a few
horned tOads and lizards that bask
on the sunny window sills and eat6S
flies, all the pets are now Telegated -
one room, some having their indiyid-
nal glass cages. while others enjoy
the freedom of the apartment.
