BABY DIES 6RIEvINC
FOR PLAYMATE SNAKE
Stole Baby's Milk, But it
Furnished Amusement

White Haven, Md, Aug. 20.-That a
big blacksnake of the "mouser" tribe
is fond of ''baby's bottle will be at
tested by Mrs. Mary Tull, wife of Sam
uel Tull, a well-to-do farmer living IN
Wicomico Creek from here, and that iU
is responsible for the death of the
little one no one doubts for a momen,.
For several weeks Mrs. Tull had no.
ticed that her baby, which was nearly
year old, consumed an unusually
large quantity of milk without deriving
any benefit from it,; in fact, the more
milk the baby consumed the THINNER in
flesh it became. Local physicians de-
clared it was the strangest case that
bad ever been brought to their atten-
ton.
While in the kitchen preparing thu
MONDAY meal the other day, Mrs. Tull
heard her baby cooling and laughing in
the sitting room, as though some one
We're in their playing the clown .
When Mrs. Tull looked in to see who
it was that was creating so much mirth
for her little one, she beheld coiled up
in the crib by the side of her baby a
ive-foot blacksnake, with the rubber
connected with the nursing bottle in
its mouth, holding its tail aloft ana
whirling it around as if to amuse the
ha bv w If c+oio IT. 1iYpov
In a jiffy the snake was dispatched
When it was taken out of the room
the child seemed to realize that il
would never return and gave every ey-
idence of having lost it's only play
mate and companion, and from that
time on the baby wasted away even
more rapidly than before, until yester-
day, when it died.

Your Pocket.

Philadelphia, Pa, August Is cAfter
smoking a pipe until he became
sleepy in the rear yard of his home
yesterday morning, William Keflor,
of No. 1924 Blabon street, Nicetown,
put it, still lighted, into his pocket
and lay down on a bench to take j
nap. Soon after Policeman Bell, who
was passing, smelled the odor of burn
ing cloth, and on investigation found
Keilor in the yard with his clothing
aIblaze and wrestling with the fire.
Through the assistance of the police
man and neigLbors, who used buck
cts of water, the flames, which had
enveloped his body arms and neck,
were extinguished.
Keilor was taken to the Good Samar-
itan Hospital in a critical condition,
and is likely to die.
