SNAKES IN HENS NESTS.
Two Milford Women Have Scares
The Past Week.

AhC Il dSt w CChs
When Mr.. William ]. Reed, of Mil
ford, put her hand in the hens nest,
after eggs, the other day, a large
snake coiled itself around her arm.
With quick move she managed to
shake it loose and called her husband,
who brought his gun and killed the
reptile. 1t was a black snake, six feet
long. A few days ago, Mrs. L. A. Pool
of Houston, was entertaining Mrs.
Thomas E. Davis, wife of the Baptist
minister, of Milford, Mrs. Charles
Zack, also of Milford, and Mrs. Mary
Appleton, of Philadelphia. She in
vited them to view her fine breed of
chickens, and while in the laying
house Mr.. Zack was in the act of put
ting her hand in a nest to remove the
eggs, she heard a kissing noise and
saw large snake just in the nest.
Frank Johnson, who killed the snake,
said it was a Boston hornet, a very
poisonous reptile. 1t measured about
five and a half feet long. The black
snake is a noted egg thief. Whenever
it can find where the hens have their
nests, it goes after the eggs.

No Celebration This Year on Spot
Where Flag Was First UnfurIed.
There was no celebration last We'd
nesday of the anniversary of the bat
tie of Cooch's Bridge, although the
occasion marked the 142d anniver-
sary of the first unfurling of the
American Flag in battle. Usually
the observance takes the form of a
basket picnic on the spaciouss lawn of
the old Cooch mansion, the lawn really
being a portion of the battlefield.
This year, however, none of the Cooch
family are living on the old place.
On the spot where it is believed that
the first American flag was unfurled
in battle, just after the landing of
the British at Head of Elk, in 1777,
and Immediately prior to the Battles
of Brandywine and Germantown, a
monument was erected some years
ago by the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution to commemorate this
auspicious event in Delaware history.
The annual pilgrimage has been to
this spot.
