Bow Had Nerve.

Master Henry Hall, the little son o.
Matthew Hall, who lives near here
took heroic measures to prevent dis
aster from the bite of a big rattle
snake which had crawled into his bee
and bit him on the finger just after he
had retired. The fangs of the reptile
were sunk into the boys index fin
ger of the right hand.
AS soon as he realized what had
happened the lad jumped from the
bed and, grabbing a chop axe, cut the
finger off just above the bite. He
lost some blood from the crude opera
ton, but has suffered no injury as a
result of the snake bite 1t is sup
posed the snake came in through the
door in the afternoon while tho fam
lily were busy in the fields. 1t crawled
under tho top cover of the bed, and
was not seen when the family went
to retire. Young Hall tumbled into
bed in much the same way as all
youngsters do, and threw his hand
over on the snake, making it mad
and causing it to strike at once. The
fangs were buried in the flesh of the
finger.-Anniston Correspondence OF
