is the White House, there need be no
suspicion OF nature taking"
President Roosevelt encourages the

Quentin has made pets OF several snakes

snake coiled about his arm.
All right. Wei take care OF the
snake" said Herr Schmid, but it's lit
tie dull in the snake trade, so here are a
couple OF nice little snakes. Take them
along for playmates today If you wish
Quentin put the three in bag and
started for the White House. He had
forgotten to give his majesty the king
snake anything to eat. This had irritated
the snake, and when Quentin opened the
bag he saw that one or the little sn9kes
was on its way to make a royal break
fast. Quentin rescued IL.
Gliding past gaping doorkeepers and
visitors Quentin brought up with sharp
turn before the desk where President
Roosevelt and Attorney-General Bona
parte were deep In the discussion OF state
affairs. Mr.. Bonaparte seemed i'll at ease
in the presence of the king snake. The
president turned Quentin over to Repre-
sentative Hepburn and Maj. Lacey of
Iowa. who were awaiting an interview in
a nadjoining room. They observed the
snake disporting itself around the young
