Newspaper Page Textn MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Rtgiiier and Tribune Syndic jl.. -.963) Mouse and Snake: A Story Of Two Strange Bedfellowi "-An the lion and the lamb shall lie down together" is a truism that is reported ev ery day in our newspapers, and quite often the dissimil arity between the two or more "friends" is as wide and as slartlingly unnatural as is "the lion and the lamb." Peculiar it is. but almost all animals, like man himself, cannot seem to live entirely alone: they all want friend ship. Many times this attach ment between two very dif ferent individuals that are tra ditional enemies is nearly un believable. Of course, we would always suppose a lion would eat a lamb, but the well fed lion would actually lie down with a lamb. Strange as it seems to most of us, there are some folks that keep snakes as pets, and apparently get a great amount of pleasure from keeping them. Such a person had a pair of corn-snakes; one, in a cage by itself, was three feet in length, and of a beautiful shade of brown. The snake lived in a large cage and gave every indication of being hap py and w.il adjusted. Broke the Habit? This snake has eaten sev eral mice that have been lib erated in tlie cage at aboi t 30-day intervals. Thinking it was again feeding time, the snake's owner placed a mouse in the cage. The next day the mouse was still there, sitting in one corner, with the snake coiled in another. Both seemed Indifferent to the other. The owner, at the end of several days, began to worry about the snake; he must be pretty hungry. So he liberated ano'.'-or mouse in the cage. The following day the mouse was gone, but a swol len place in the snake testi fied as to what had happened. In the far corner of the cage sat the original mouse. As time went on, the little mouse lost all fear of the snake and ran back and forth across the motionless form, even seemed to enjoy the sat isfaction of clamoring over the reptile while he was try ing to sleep. Instinct and attendant hun ger would seem to have prompted the snake to gobble the little rodent, but nothing like that happened. But In stinct was still at work, the mouse was following his in herent habits, even if he was living dangerously. The inborn desire to build a nest exerted itself in the little rodent, and he began chewing up papers and ahreds of bark. As soon as he had accumulated a handful, he fashincd the material into a hollow ball with an open ing in one side. The mouse nest was in one corner of the cage. Following his natural inclination he de- aired to sleep during t h e day, and prowl at night. It was a strange household, but between these two beings had grown an unexplainable friendship. One day, the snake moved itself in beside the paper nest in which the mouse was sleep ing. It pushed the nest out from the screen and coiled itself around it. So the situation exists to day, many weeks after the snake and the mouse began living together. They are now apparently devoted to one an other. The man may hnve been wiser than he thought when he said "-In every union there is a mystery - a certain invisible bond which must not be disturbed." FINDS BIGHT PLACE Peoria.

The bird, with singed wing tips and a dam aged leg, flew through the front door of the Mercy Am bulance Service and was rush ed by ambulance to Glen Oak Zoo for medical aid.

Living Is Esiic ' Wilh Paper Products The wide use of paper cups. olales and other paper prod ucts Is uniquely American and typically western.
