to the eye and just as tempting
to the palate. Baked with skill
with the best obtainable materials,
they are far superior to ordinary

VICIOUS SNAKE FIGHT.

Laurel, July 3.--Benjamin 8. Wiley, rural
carrier on mail route No. 4, witnessed an
exciting battle between three snakes while
serving his route some days ago. While
driving through the woods near the saw
mill OF J. Stanford Locates, about six miles
east of here, Mr.. Wiley's attention was
attracted by an unusual commotion along
side the road, just ahead of him. Upon
investigation he found that large black
snake, known locally as a Black Racer, y
had been attacked by two snakes which are
known in this section as Boston Hornet
snakes. The reptiles continued the battle,
apparently Indifferent TO the presence of
Mr.. Wiley, who was an interested spec
tator of the deadly combat. Finally the
black snake seized one of the others
in its mouth, catching it by the middle,
and raising up its head, shook the other
snake as n terrier does rat. Throwing its
wrthing mortally stricken victim from it,
the black snake turned its attention to
the other Boston Hornet, which was dis
patched within few minutes. Mr. Wiley
then got down and finished the battle by
killing the black racer with a stick. The
reptile measured few inches more than
six feet
