Bedtime Stories BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. A statement you should ne'er affirm The truth of which_you can't confirm. —Farmer Brown's Boy.

I just wanted you and Sammy to learn how harmless to man he is, even though he does look so ugly. It is too bad that so many people are foolishly afraid of all Snakes and want to kill every one they see. They are sort of wonderful, Sriakes are.” “Pooh! I don't see anything won- derful about a Snake,” said Sammy. “I do,” spoke up Sue. “I never thought of it before, but it is truly wonderful how they can travel so fast without legs or feet of any kind.” “That's so,” admitted Sammy grudg- ingly. “I hadn’t thought of that, either.” “And Mr. Watersnake can swim like s fish, yet neither fins nor & swimming taily ®h as & fish has,” said Farmer Brown's Boy. “Other Snakes can swim, too.” “Can they climb?” asked Sue. “Some can,” replied her cousin. “Mr. Blacksnake is a good climber, too good a climber.” “What do you mean by too good a climber?” Sammy wanted to know. “He's fond of eggs and young birds, and in the Spring and early Sum- mer he goes looking for them. Being right at home in trees, few nests are safe from him. That is the only thing I have against him,” replied Farmer Brown's Boy. “Does a Snake have ears? It seems to me I heard you say it doesn't, and I don't remember seeing any,” said Sue. “He d have any external ones, anyway,” replied her cousin. “You know, they say he hears with his tongue,” “Fiddlesticks!” exclaimed S8ammy. “Thats what they say,” retorted Farmer Browns Boy. “Perhaps it isn't exactly hearing, but a Snake is supposed to get sound vibrations through its tongue, and that is whi the latter is kept darting out so much. That amounts to the same thing as hearing. So Snakes can run and swim and climb without feet or hands or fins, and can hear without ears, yet Sammy says he doesn’t see any- thing wonderful about a Snake.” “I'll take that back. I just hadn’t thought of those things," said Sammy, “And I don’t suppose it ever struck’ you as wonderful that s Snake can swallow whole a body & great deal bigger around than its own body,” continued Farmer Brown's Boy. “For instance, if we hadn't rescued Old Mr. Toad from Bluffer the Adder he would have been swallowed whole, yet Bluffer's mouth and neck, even his body, looked small compared with the size of Old Mr. Toad.” “I know it is done, but I don't see how,” said Sue. “I should think the Snake’s jaws would be dislocated right off at the start.” Farmer Brown's Boy grinned. “They would if they were like ours,” said he. “They just unhinge, or disconnect, in some gway, g0 there is no trouble there. en, I guess, the Snake iz sort lastic and stretches, and ad that is wonderful when you think of it.” “Tommy, do Snakes ever swallow)| their young to protect them? I've heard they do,” said Bue. “I don’t know for sure,” confessed Tommy. “Naturalists say they don't, but you can’'t convince some people that they haven't seen what they know they have seen. Of course, the naturalists must be right, but—" “But what?”. prompted Sue. “I've seen what I've seen,” replied Tommy.
