Natures Children
Western Garter Snake (Eutaenia elegans)
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.


the snakes Of our land and be
free from the shackles of fear.
- Harmless snakes are interesting
creatures of the outdoors. They are
fulfilling their mission in the scheme
of things and minding their own
business. Unless they are known to
be poisonous and endangering some
valuable member of society. they have
q right to 60 their way.
Here we have member of the
great garter or striped-snake clan,
noted for their variety of color pat
tern and abundance. They are per-
fectly harmless. You can usually tell
at q glance any member Of the family
because of the three stripes on the
sides and the one along the center
back.
As the garter snakes are to be found
In every part Of the continent in
which snakes are found, and ex-
tend as far as Central America, you
will be astonished to know how many
you may see in . short time, once
you are acquainted with their habits
Because these snakes concentrate
their efforts to capture and feast
upon frogs, toads. fish and worms,
they are not what we term economi-
cally important. Their cousins, who
go after the mouse tribe and bother
some pests, rate high with agri-
culturists.
The common garter snake is the
best known Of the family. Few nature
lovers, indeed, have not seen the
bright-striped reptile. as it slides
through the grass in its haste to get
away, or Is engaged in stalking its
dinner.
In the Autumn garter snakes be-
gin to gather in large numbers. close

n YANNY MEADOW MOUSE had
nj made q new home for herself
in q hollow old post. among
some bushes on one edge oi
the Green Pasture It had seemed
such q perfect place for q nest that
she had started building at once. She
hadn't looked around as much as she
should have. You see, she had made
quite q long Journey from far over on
the other side Of the Green Meadows
Out there In the open there had been
no really safe hiding places. So when
Nanny found this hollow post she de-
cided the instant she saw it that this
was the place for her to make her
new home, and she had worked hard
to make . nice, comfortable soft nest
In that post.
Then early one evening, as she lay
comfortably mapping in that nest, she
heard certain sounds that at first sent
little shivers of fright all over her. She
knew who was making those sounds
She had heard similar sounds before
She knew that Jimmy Skunk was max
ing those noises. Pretty soon she heard
him at the entrance to her home. He
was smiling. Yes, sir, he was smiling
He could smell Mouse. and Nanny
knew that he could smell Mouse. Now
Jimmy Is fond Of Mice. Fortunately
the entrance was not big enough fol
Jimmy to put his head inside. How
ever, he could put q paw in. and he
did. He put q paw in and felt all
around. Nanny didn't move. That paw
didn't quite reach her. which was very
fortunate for her. OF course, If II
had reached her Jimmy would have
pulled her right out of that snug home
Finally. with little grunt of disap-
pointment, Jimmy gave up. Yes. sir
Jimmy gave up. How relieved Nanny
was then.
For . long time after Jimmy Skunk
left Nanny didn't move. When at last
she felt sure that the way was clear
she crept out of her nest and out OF
that hollow post. Il wonder" thought
Nanny. "if that Skunk is living around
here or If he just happened to come
along. I hope he just happened te
come along 1t would be dreadful to
find that he Is living near me here.
Now there was one direction which
Nanny had not explored at all She
did it now. She didn't have to go
far to find her worst fears realized.
She had gone only very little way
when she came to a hole in the
ground. Her nose told her at once
whose hole it was and that the owner
was at home. 1t was Jimmy Skunk s
home. You may be quite sure that
