frogs they encountered Of vcnomous moccasin
snakes. The players were in mortal fear of being bitten
for every step reptile hisSed and dared away But
they were fortunate .nough not to be struck by any
poisonous angs The guide said the fear of the players
was justified, as he himself had never seen so many
moccasns in night before.
The Macks became acquainted with moccasin on
the way to Orange The Southern Pacific train carrying
stopped a small station. There were swamps all
around nearly every log there were turtles sun
ming Charley Rckett hurled rock at a turtle and was
surprised to stir up big moccasin.
MoccaSns. when not cOrnered, retreat. The snake
gided along the lily pads and shallow water in plain sight
Everybody in the baseball party jumped off the train
and picked up rocks and threw them at the serpent
TIE moccasin, hotcercr, cns 'roiH and agile and
disappeared in the tdStnCss Of the scamp.

They may nurse in a keeping in government offices or scrub or cook in government build ings, according to their choice But regardless of their social rank they must work at least 12 hours out of every week.
