Grandfather is a learned Indiana
prOfessor-one who is greatly respect
ed by all his neighbors and acauaint-
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 party.
For while everything went alright
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.
Ggsather presented money. trink-
cts khd everything the house offered.
but still the baby walled. More pres
ents, and finally the baby took enough
notice TO utter this rebuke: Il want

Mexico's "child stealersr engaged In

according to a writer in the National

or central place of business for the
biggest thieves are located in Gomez
Farias street, GuadalajaFa. Here a
regular market is held for the disposal
of stolen children. either by outright
sale or rent.
"Hfter passing through the, hands
Of this gang the innocent victim of
this barbaric system is generally, un-

carried or hauled around with It's poor
little hand outstretched for coins to
support its fendlsh MASTER" according
to the writer. s'Such children are seen
any hour of the day or night in Mex
leo City, lowering around the theater
doors, sitting around the streets and
often among the heggars that line the
church doors. The pleasure. seeker,

HAD LIVELY FIGHT
Man Found CoachWhip Snake No
Mean Antagonist.
Mr.. @. M. Robbins Of Atlanta Is Ready
TO Announce That He is Not
at All DESTROYS Of Another v
,r. eteiE oiHSuch Bout. aJs,9

Some folk say coachsnake won't
chase you and tie you to a pine tree
and Whip the everlasting daylight out
Of you, They scandallze this ancient
tradition as unscientific and contra
dictory to the facts and the EVIL
dence.
The defense now calls to the stand
one G. w. Robbins, whose Initials may
or mny 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 (the coach-
whlp) Iassoed him and the ensuing
wrestling match simply ruined large
part of an acre of excellent radishes
and some fine young onions.
Robbins snys he was out in the gar
den pulling some radishes when he
discovered slx-foot coachwhlp
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 fled 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 angered at the damage al-
ready wrought among his garden
sas, grasped the snake by his dell
cately tapering tail and dragged him,
resisting furlously, from beneath the
barn, Instantly the coachwhip
changed his tactics and looped him
self about Robbins neck. b.
Business picked up at once, and the
warm spring atmosphere was shat
tered by rude exclamatlons of the
NhiANL5' NSNNA'
whip had q combination grapevine
and head hold on Robbins, who was
striving to achieve the deadly toe
held made famous by the late Mr..
Gotch. li
The radish bed was used as mat,
and the grapple was fast and fu-
rious. 1t Is always a difficult matter
to put toe hold on a large and SCI
entific snake, but Robbins was, bat
Ting 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 pinning the
coachwhip's shoulders to the radish
bed, Robbins deliberately and with
malice aforethought popped his enc
my's skull vindietively against the side
of the barn.
The battle ended there. The snake
measured two inches over two yards.
