UNGRATEFUL SNAKE BITES HAND THAT
 LONG GAVE FOOD
Metallurgist Attacked By Pet Rattler; Saves Life By
 Prompt Treatment.

Allan Price Ford, rnetallurgists of the Crane company, used to have a couple of rattlesnakes as pets at his home, 47 Rusling Place.
 MT. Price now has two rattlesnake hides and badly swollen arm. The rattlesnakes became mere hides short ly after MT. Price acquired, a swollen arm.
 One of the snakes, after seven years peace and quiet in a nifty little cage at the Rus1ing Place home; last week turned md bit the hand that fed him. The setting sun, that same day, saw the last bit of life depart from the snakes and they became the subject of taxidernic discussion.
 MT. Ford was up in Kent, seven years ago, and on the Schaghticoke reservation picked up. a couple of baby rattlers. He brought them home and placed them in cage where they ellis rattlesnake hunters. He watched q them sprout rattles as they waxed fat on a dainty menu of rattlesnakes deli cacies.
 They seemed quite centented with their life of ease and quiet. While MT. Ford treated them always with that aloofness that is common in deal- any particular sanimosity toward him. Tn fact, they were just a pair of rat ting good pets-a bit out of the or dinary, you know, and something to show visitors.
 It was a week ago today that the snakes became hides. MT. Ford was doling out 1.-the evening rations. He says he might have been 'tcareless.. for a moment
 In that moment, there was a light fning-1ike dart of an arrow-shaped head and his snakeship had fastened his fangs in the heshy part of MT. Ford's right hand It was all over in a sec ond, and MT. Ford began the hrst-aid remedies that he had kept in mind during the last seven years He inn mediately opened the wound to allow it to bleed freely and a. hurry call was sent for pr. H. M. Clarke. He cauter- ized the wound with pernangana of potash and rendered further treat ment
 MT. Ford did not suffer any heart reaction-one of the danger symptoms in snake poisoning. The arm was swollen to twice it's normal size and he suffered numbness in his legs for 24 hours after he was bitten. He is prngresssing nicely now and will have fully recovered in a short time, his physician says.
 Asked what happened to the snakes, MT: Ford said: "A great deal of pres sure was brought to bear on me in regard to my dealings with the snakes. following the attack As result, have a couple of fine rafs9esnake hides that will be mounted shortly,
