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.
