Show Queer Bedfellow We slept all winter In the bed with an -18-inch snake Inside of the mattress. mat-tress. In the fall, when we aired the bedding, there was a small hole in the mattress, cut by a rat, and Into this hole the snake crawled. I mended this hole before putting the mattress on my bed ; of course, I did not know anything any-thing had crawled Inside. The snake remained perfectly quiet all winter, but when spring came he began crawlmg about In the mattress. During the night this caused us to sleep uncomfortably uncom-fortably and brought about a search for the trouble. We cut open the mattress mat-tress anil the snake crawled out on the floor.
