TRAMP JTJMPS OUT Shelbyville, Ind.—Locked in a re frigerator car in the railroad yards here for more than two hours, a tramp started a fire, either to at tract attention or in an effort to keep warm. Employes in the yard saw smoke coming from the venti lators and opened the car. When the door was shoved back the tramp jumped out. He landed running and disappeared down the track with not a word of thanks or a back ward look toward his rescuers. City's Canteen Workers Praised by Soldiers For Work Done at Trains The record of the canteen service in Harrisburg is only second to> Philadelphia in the United States, and the fact that the soldiers appre ciate this work is exemplified by the many letters received; the following which is but one: | "Dear Ladles: The Commanding Officer of Victory Loan Train No. 2, of the Coast Artillery Corps, his o-f -llcers and men desire to express their appreciation of the kind treatment which they received at your hands on the night of April 17, while en route from Fort Monroe to Chicago." During the Easter week two thousand home-made candy eggs were distributed to these heroes. Thousands have appealed for help at the canteen booth at the station under the direction of Mrs. Ross A. Hicok, and many a penniless young soldier has been furnished food, while the Home Service branch looked after" his transportation. One of the most important fea tures of this work is the distribution to the wounded boys of the "smile" books and picture puzzles made by the school children of this city, and the tots whose nimble flngprs have put together these little articles are doing their share to bring some hap piness into the heart of a forever crippled youth, whose life was of fered that these same little ones may live in peace and contentment as the years roll by. Surely they too are doing "their bit," these little Harris burg children. The names of the makers of these little books and puzzles do not ap pear on them, and they cannot be thanked personally for all they have done, but the smile og gratitude upon the face of some badly wound ed boy when ho receives one of these tittle souvenirs, is certainly suffi cient compensation for the effort of preparation. One would think that these strong boys who have gone through so much, would not care for the simp ler things of life, but they have ex perienced so much viciousness and have suffered so intensely, that these little recollections of childhood days seen to appeal to them and to create a feeling of peace and contentment after a year of struggle. This is bet ter illustrated by the remark one boy made when he reached for a picture puzzle: "This will keep me busy from here to San Francisco," he said. The Seventh and Eighth grades of the McClay building and the Fourth grade pupils of the Camp Curtin school have rubber stamps, which they use to print the names of the class. The Monito Club, of the Y. W. C. A., has made generous contri butions, while the scholars of Miss Lutz's school in the Boas building have sent in some wonderful smile books, and certainly reflect the care that was taken with their prepara tion. Other books and puzzles come from all over the ity. The Canteen Committee cannot always ascertain just which schools send these books and puzzles, but it is the desire to impress upon the children who have worked so faithfully, that their ef forts have not been in vain; as every day wounded heroes are whiling away their time in a hospital or hospital train with these offerings of the children here. Harrisburg has and is going down in history among the soldiers of this country for the kindness and for the gratitude shown by the mem bers of the Canteen Committee in this city; for "it is God's work," as was remarked. Raising Rattlesnakes Brings Good Returns Kansas City, Mo.—The queerest farm in the Ozarks is that of Miss Rose Ahern and her brother Henry. Several miles up Indian Creek, in the heart of the rockiest and roughest part of the hills and blues, this brother and sister operate what they call their "diamond rattlesnake farm. And, being in a neighbor hood where snakes aro plentiful, they are doing a thriving business. For three years the Aherns have been following this business, and they will probably have 300 to 400 snakes this season. They expect to do far better than ever before, now that the war has ended. The prin cipal profits come from the extract ing of poison from the rattlesnakes, which is sold at high prices to doc tors, chemists and others. Physi cians use this poison, after it "has been prepared in a scientific manner, for the treatment of epilepsy and other diseases. It is known as cro talln. They also get a good revenye from the sale of live reptiles to museums and travelling shows. The estab lished rate is 2 cnts a pound. A larg, fat serpont usually brings sev eral dollars. The smaller, poorer specimens are killed and rendered Into oil, which has a steady sale at $1 an ounce. His Own Detective, Boys Needs No Police Help Chester, Pa„ May 7.
