around her child, frightened Ida's mother

home. 20 Lake street, Bloomfield, y. j.
and Nseated herself in a front window
10 watch the baby.
Ida was pensively satisfying her thirst
and appetite when the snake, which
probably came from Watsessng Swamp
near by. made its appearance on the
babys pinafore.
Darting its head here and there the
snake intently watched the baby; plainly
Ida thought a new toy had been given her
and nut out her chubby hand 10 grasp
the snake. which easily eluded her.
Terror nearly paralyzed Mrs. Baum.
She could not move but at last she Ut
tered a piercing shrek. Mrs Herbert

ran 20 her.
Mrs Baum. scared speechless. pointed
al Ida and the snake Mrs Springfield,
a woman OF courage and action. rushed
out 10 the baby carriage. seized the snake
BY the tail and flung n yards away. Then
she grabbed up a stone and killed the rep
tile.
Little Ida cried when her pretty new
TOW was taken from her, but the nurs-
ing bottle soon comforted her.
