THE campaign must be warm in the
Old Bay State, as we'll ss in Indiana and
New York. a Massachusetts paper says
"The Boys Republican battalion met 81
the Republican headquarters Thursday

stars, red and white striped collar, ia
tigue cap of red, white, and blue enamel
cloth; officers' caps are red helmets with

A Beaver County Snake Story.

A Beaver County Snake Story.
The Beaver Falls Journal gets of
the following:
On his large farm near Wurtem-
burg Herman Dolby, well.to-do
but rather eccentric farmer, has about
30 acres of land out in blackberries
and raspberries. and for several sea
sons past has been not only greatly
annoyed generally, but has suffered
serious loss from the depredations OF
thieving berry pickers. This season,
however, he has adopted n measure
that so far has ellectually put stop
to the marauding. On part OF his
farm is q deep and rocky ravine, in
tested by hordes of the most venom
Gus snakes. SO this season Mr.. Dol
by hit upon plan by which he could
utilize the reptiles, to keep thieves
out of his berries. After the first
thunder storm this spring. and when
the warm rays OF the sun began to
bring forth the serpents from their
winter lair, be procured large num-
ber of shallow pans, filled them with
rich, warm milk, and placed them
through tho ravines The snakes
swarmed to the pans in thousands,
and eagerly Tapped up the lacteal
fluid. This practice he kept up for
several mornings, until the snakes
began to look every day, at q certain
hour, for the kind farmer and his
milk pans, and grew 80 tame that
they would follow after him like sheep
after farmers boy with II salt can,
many of them emitting querulous
cries like a sick kitten. 1t was then
Farmer Dolby began to get his work
in. He began to place his milk pans
day by day nearer his berry patch,
and the snakes followed him up until
the patch was reached, then the pans
were placed around the edge OF the
field, and his task was accomplished,
for now every morning, bright and
early, the snakes, big and little, can
be seen making from the ravinc to
the berry patch, where, after satisfy
ing their hunger, they take their sta
tion Oh the fence, and remain until
evening. VIII, hey are given another
meai after which they seek the ravine
only to appear again in the morning
Thus it is that "a guagd Of horrid liy-
ing snakes is placed around MIR. Dol
by's berries, and be picks and markets
them without loss or annoyance.
Lawrence Dundham, of Ninth avcn-
ue, who drove past the place yester-

THAT VICIOUS OLD BUCKET

How fresh TO INV mind are the scenes of my
childhood,
As fond recoIle ctions present them TO view,
The coy.stall. the pig pen, the ten co,ds of
ire-wood.
And all the tough chores had to go
through.
