CIGARETTE SMOKING SNAKES.
Monster Blacksnake Seen
Run With a “Cig” in Its Mouth.
Central Pennsylvania has all other |
in its diversified scenery, its fish and |
game and in various other ways, and
there is one party of auto tourists
who today are willing to aver that
we also have blacksnakes that smoke
cigarettes, and their story is based on
what they actually saw on the Fishing
creek road up near Cherry Run. The
incident happened one day last week.
A party of sightseers, whose names
could not be learned, were slowly mot-
oring along the road, taking in the
beautiful scenery, when one of the
party happened to see a huge black-
snake curled up in the middle of the
road some distance ahead.
The car was stopped and two of
the men got out, gathered a few stones
and threw them at the snake in an
effort to kill it. But their aim was
bad and they gradually worked up
closer when one of the men dropped
the stones he was carrying, threw up
his hands and exclaimed in awe-
struck consternation: “Gosh a’mighty,
he’s smoking cigarettes!” The other
man looked and sure enough, his
snakeship was nicely coiled, his head
sticking up about eight inches, and
in his mouth a cigarette. Quietly and
slowly the men drew closer to the
snake to make sure their eyes were
not deceiving them, but there was no
mistake. The snake had the cigar-
ette in its mouth and how long they
would have puzzled over the queer
spectacle is not known because just
about that time they heard a snick-
er and a noise in the underbrush by
the roadside and out stepped some of
the young foresters from State Col-
lege who are camping on Cherry Run.
These young men had killed the
snake by breaking its back then taken
it onto the road had curled it up as
if alive and stuck the cigarette in
its mouth, then hid in the underbrush
to see what would happen, and the
mystified consternation of the auto
tourists when they discovered the
blacksnake with a cigarette in its
mouth amply repaid them for their
trouble.
But the young foresters, who are in
charge of Prof. J. A. Ferguson, are
not spending all their time in playing
such practical jokes. They are study-
ing wooderaft and nature from the
ground up, and as a side issue they
catch snakes—rattlers, big and little;
copperheads, blacksnakes and any
other kind they come across. The
snakes are caught uninjured and kept
in specially prepared boxes and the
voung foresters have gathered togeth-
er quite a collection of reptiles. And
they handle them with apparently as
much ease and familiarity as the or-
dinary person would handle a house
cat. Of course, they are careful
enough to get the right kind of a
hold, which is around the neck close
to the head. With such a hold the
rattler and the copperhead are un-
able to strike or bite, hence can do
no injury. As to the blacksnake, its
fighting ability lies in its coils and
it is not a very difficult matter to
protect onesself against injury in that
respect.
Two Dinkey Engines / Burned, One
Wrecked.
The American Lime and Stone
company has lost the service of three
dinkey engines this week, two of
which were burned in a fire which
consumed the engine house at No. 25
quarry, up Buffalo Run, on Tuesday
night, and the other, a new three
thousand dollar gasoline locomotive,
was wrecked yesterday morning when
it went overethe end of the trestle
out at the old Empire Lime company
plant.
The five which destroyed the engine
house up Buffalo Run is believed to
have been caused by lightning. It oc-
curred during one of the hard rain
storms on Tuesday night and work-
men at the plant aver that immediate-
ly following an exceptionally hard
stroke the engine house burst into
flames from top to bottom and it ali
happened so suddenly that there was
no chance to put the fire out. The
result was the two dinkeys, as well
as everything in the house, was
either consumed or damaged beyond
immediate repair.
The accident out at the Empire Lime
company plant yesterday morning is
ascribed to the wet rails. Charles
Saxion was in charge of the engine
and had hauled two cars of stone
from the quarry down to the kilns.
When he applied the brakes they had
little effect and as it was down grade,
the weight of the loaded cars shoved
the engine over the end of the trestle,
which at that place is about tweny
feet in height. When Mr. Saxion
saw that the engine would go over
he jumped and escaped uninjured.
The cab and pipe fittings of the en-
gine were either broken or badly bent
but the heavy parts are not damaged
and a new cab and new fittings will
put it in running order, but it will be
days, if not weeks, before these can
be secured.

— County treasurer L. Frank :
Mayes has received his first consign-
ment of hunters’ licenses, but inas-
much as the only open season now is
for blackbirds there hasn’t as yet
been any great rush of hunters in tak-
ing out the official permits.
Some of the machinery for
Bellefonte’s new half million dollar
silk mill has arrived and work on
the building is progressing as fast
as possible, considering the kind of
weather we have been having of late,
but at that it will be several months
before the plant is finished and ready
for operation.

The new siding has been put in
for the Bellefonte milk station, down
at the old Thomas property. Both the
Tyrone and Bellefonte track crews
worked all day Sunday on the job.
Work on the new station does not
seem to be progressing as fast as con-
tractor Conrad would like to see it, |
but once the foundation walls are
completed and the bricklayers get to
work he hopes to speed up building
operations.
The twelfth annual reunion of
the society of the MecAllisterville
Soldiers Orphans’ school will be held
on the school grounds at McAllister-
ville, on August 25, 26 and 27th. Ang
interesting and entertaining program
has been arranged and those who
anticipate attending should write the
secretary, G. W. Givler, Tyrone, Pa.,
of their intention so that he can mak:
lodging arrangements and other plans
for their comfort.
At an early hour Wednesday
morning two men passed through |
Bellefonte in a Ford touring car, in
the tonneau of which was a barrel
covered with a blanket. A portion of
one end of the barrel was visible and
it had a sort of musty look as if it
had lain in storage an indefinite time.
The men in the car were strangers
and naturally there was more or less
curiosity among those who saw the
car as to the contents of the barrel.
Of course, it might have been empty,
and then again, it might not.

According to reports reaching |
Bellefonte this week the position of |
chief of police of Osceola Mills is no
sinecure. The chief is paid $180 a
month but from all accounts the job
is worth it. Within the past week
he was in‘the act of arresting a big
foreigner when the latter turned on
him, landed him one on the face and
broke his jaw. This is only one of
the incidents in the life of the police
chief in that town. Disturbances of
the law are reported as being of fre-
quent occurrence there and if the
chief calls for assistance, betimes, it
is said, he is told to do the job him-
self, as that’s what he is paid for.
Max Miller and Capt. W. Fred-
erick Reynolds Jr., figured in an auto
mixup on Sunday evening down near
Howard and according to all accounts
neither driver was especially at fault.
It just happened that they attempted
to pass at a point in the road near a
culvert and neither driver noticed a
good sized pile of stone on each side
of the road, leaving a space unsuffi-
cient in width for two cars to pass.
Both cars were driven onto the stones,
but at that they side-swiped. The
cars were both considerably damaged,
but pilot Miller’s car got the worst
of the mixup. It was so badly dam-
aged that it had to be towed in, but
Capt. Reynolds was able to return
home in his own car. Fortunately,
both cars were going at a slow speed
and none of the occupants were injur-
ed.
The deal wa§ closed last week
whereby Mr. W. J. Emerick, of the
Emerick Transportation Company,
became the purchaser of the John P,
Harris residence on the corner of
Linn and Spring streets. The price
paid was $9,500. Mr. Harris, who
has occupied a portion of the house
during the summer, will take up his
residence on the first of April with
his daughter, Dr. Edith Schad, where
he will be permanently in the future.
Mrs. Warfield, who has had charge of
the house during the summer, will
give it up on November first and zo
with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr.
and Mrs. James Craig, who have tak-
en apartments in the Schad house on
east Linn street. Whether Mr. Emer-
ick and family will occupy the house
this fall or not is not known at this
writing.
On the second page of today’s
paper is published a picture of the
Memorial day parade in Bellefonte,
kindly loaned us by the Army and
Navy Journal, of Philadelphia, which
published it in its July issue. The
picture was taken primarily to show
Troop L, which is made up to a con-
siderable extent of ex-service men,
but the men in the picture are in
reality members of old Troop L who
saw service overseas in the world
war. At their head is to be seen
Major H. Laird Curtin and at his side
Capt. W. Frederick Reynolds, while
in the delegation of Grand Army
men in the lead can be seen comrades
Samuel B. Miller, Emanuel Noll,
Hammon Sechler, John Noll, W.
Henry Taylor and Capt. W. H. Fry, of
Pine Grove Mills. Look the picture
over and see how many of your
friends you can recognize.

Man’s Leg Broken at Skating Rink.
A. N. Barry, of Sunbury, a brake-
man on the Lewisburg freight train,
is now confined to the Bellefonte
hospital with a broken leg sustained
in a fall in the new skating rink on
the Island on Tuesday evening.
Brakeman Barry was skating with a
young lady at the time when in some
way he tripped and fell, fracturing
his right leg in two places. He was
promptly taken to the hospital where
he is receiving proper care and treat-
ment.
——0ld time weather prophets
place great confidence in that old
saw that if it rains when Mary cross-
es the mountain we will have wet
weather for six weeks. Of course it
rained and it has been wet more or
less ever since with considerably more
during the past week. In fact if it
starts in to give us any more rain
than we have had since last Friday it
will reach that stage where a flood
in midsummer might be a possibility.

Bellefonte arrival Friday evening, and will
be a guest at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. John Knisely, during the
month of August. Mr. Butterworth will
join his wife here next week and a part
of their vacation will be spent at the Ma-
sonic camp, at Curtin.
-—Miss Sara Brandman and her brother
Maurice, a daughter and son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ray Brandman, of Philadelphia, but
formerly of Bellefonte, have been spend-
ing the week here, Miss Brandman as a
guest of Mrs. William McClure and her
family and Maurice at the home of Mr. an
Mrs. Charles Brachbill.
—Rev. W. J. Wagner, of Pottsgrove, is
spending some time in Bellefonte, at the
home of his father-in-law, Mr. H. K. Hoy
and with friends in Pennsvalley. Rev.
Wagner has been in poor health since the
early part of the summer, and has been
given leave of absence, but hopes soon
to be able to go back to his charge.
—T. K. Morris, of Pittsburgh, was in
Bellefonte on Sunday for a short time
with his son, Thomas King Morris Jr.,
who has been here since June, but who
will go to Pittsburgh today for a visit
at home. Mrs. Morris has been under
treatment at Westfield, N. Y., for the past
month but will return to Pittsburgh this
week.
—T. Clayton Brown, the energetic and
enterprising manager of the Scenic, is off
on a week's vacation, having left Belle-
fonte last Sunday for a trip to Philadel-
phia and Atlantic City. It is the first
trip he has taken in five years and ne
doubt is enjoying the relaxation from the
daily grind of looking after the business
at the Scenic.
—J. I Underwood, of Erie, accompa-
nied by his three daughters, Martha, Edith
and Jean, came to Bellefonte Saturday to
visit with Mr. Underwood’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Isaac Underwood. Mr. Under-
wooed and his younger daughter returned
to Erie on Monday, Martha and Edith
remaining for a visit of a week or ten days
with their grandparents.
—Mr. and Mrs. Orvis Keller were Belle-
fonte arrivals on Sunday evening, coming
here from Connecticut where Mr. Keller
had been engaged in college work most of
his vacation. They will visit in Bellefonte
at the home of Mr. Keller's parents, Mr.
and Mrs, Harry Keller, until their return
to Ames, Iowa, where Mr. Keller is an in-
structor in the Towa State University.
—On Saturday evening Jerry Glenn,
manager of the Bald Eagle Supply Co.,
at Curtin, with Robert Pattison Barnhart
were killing a little time while waiting
for a night train home and dropped in
here for a few minutes. The two of them,
added to the two who were here at the
time, made a quartet of Democrats and
to say that all the affairs of the nation
were settled to the satisfaction of our-
selves, at least, in a very short time, is
but to say the truth. Mr. Barnhart is
visiting at his old home at Curtin. He is
a son of “Jack” Barnhart and is now sup-
erintendent of the public schools of Mt.
Jewett, McKean county. .
