Another Degree.

Grandfather Is a learned Indiana
professor-one who Is greatly respect
ed by all his neighbors and acquaint-
ances. But his little three-year-old
granddaughter knows him quite another
way from any other person, as the be-
slower Of anything she may wish. The
other evening his mother left her with
grandfather while she went to a party.
For a while everything went all right
and then baby began to get sleepy. At
the same time she longed for mother
to tuck her In bed. Then she pitched
her voice high and walled loud and
long.
Grandfather presented money, trlnk-
cts and everything the house offered,
but still the baby vailed. More pres
ents. and finally the baby took enough
notice to utter this rebuke: II want
90 to know I'm tryln' for my mudder."

HAD lively FIGHT
Man Found Coachwhip Snake No
Mean Antagonist.
Mr.. q. n. Robbins Of Atlanta ID Ready
to Announce That He IL Not
at All oeslrous Of Another
Such Bout.

Some folk say q coachsnake' won't
chase you and tie you to a pine tree
and whip the everlasting daylight out
Of you. They scandalize this ancient
tradition as unscientifc and contra
dictory to the facts and the evil
dence.
The defense now calls to the stand
one @. w. Robbins, whose initials may
or may not stand for George Wash.
ington, and who watches at the Dow
man-Dozier plant In Atlanta, Ca, by
night.
Mr.. Robbins AYERS that the blamed
coachwhip went as far as pos
sible-he chased Robbins three
times around his own garden to be-
gin with, and when Robbins finally
turned and gave battle he tthe coach
whip) lassoed him and the ensuing
wrestling match simply ruined a large
part Of an acre of excellent radIshes
and some fine young onions.
Robbins says he was out In the gar
den pulling some radishes when he
discovered six-foot coachwhip
snake watching him balefully. Mind.
ful Of the tradition, and despite the
absence Of pine trees Robbins turned
and fed. and the coachwhip after
him. Round and round the garden
patch fed Robbins, the coachwhip still
pursuing him.
The chase ended near the barn.
where Robbins was forced to pause
for breath. Whether the coachwhip
also was shy Of wind does not ap-
pear, but he started crawling under
the barn to think 1t over.
Robbins, encouraged by this maneu.
yer and ahgered at the damage al.
ready wrought among his garden.
sas. grasped the snake by his dell.
cately tapering tail and dragged him.
resisting furiously, from beneath the
barn. Instantly the coachwhip
changed his tactics and looped him
self about Robbins neck.
Business picked up at once, and the
warm spring atmosphere was shat
tered by rude EXPLANATIONS Of the
rcughAnd-ready variety. The coach.
whip had a combination grapevine
and head hold on Robbins, who was
striving to achieve the deadly toe
hold made famous by the late Mr..
Gotch.
The radlsh bed was used as q mat,
and the grapple was fast and fu-
rious. 1t Is always a difficult matter
to put toe hold on a large and sci.
entifc snake, but Robbins was bat.
tling for his life and few remaining
radishes-and he got the hold.
The first thing Robbins did was to
unwrap the snake from about his
neck. The next thing he did was not
STRICTLY In accord with the wrestling
regulations. Instead Of pinnlng the
coaehwhip's shoulders to the radIsh
bed. Robbins deliberately and with
malice aforethought popped his enc
my's skull vindlctively against the side
Of the barn.
The battle ended there. The snake
measured two inches over two yards.
