a rattlesnake that Mr.. kerner re-
ceived His cousin, Mr.. Ira Kittle,

alive his snakeship must have been .
pretty dangerous looking warmth. :"
He is 6 feet long and measures 81
inches around at the largest part.
He has 10 rattles which, according
to snakeologists, would indicate that
he was ten years old. The rattles are
very small for the size of the snake
But no fault is to be found with the

The snake is on exhibition at Dor

take pleasure in showing him and
telling all about his pedigree, family
