-. the Army Worm-The Rattlers
Sometimes Commit
EssS~s Suicide.

'It's q shame to kill those haI mlesk
little snakes" said Rattlesnake Pete,
when q reporter told of recent trip to
the country, where he saw a farmer Kill
several garter snakes. Pete had just
finished placing 10 new snakes into the
case adjoining the den of rattlers, which
has long been the pride of his heart.
Gas soon as anyone commences talk
ing snake" said Pete, I'm right at
home. How many snakes have in ALL
Oh, about rs. Those in that side are all
poisonous, but these are not known to
be very bad"
AT this the snake fancier took from
bunch of reptiles light brown snake
with dark spots on its body. Pete ex-
planned that it was spotted adder, and
was one of new lot that he had just
received.
"The spotted adder can bite" said
Pete, "but there is no poison. AS he said
that he opened the snakes mouth with
his fingers and exposed a dangerous
looking tongue, but there were no fangs
such as the rattlers and other poison
Gus snakes have.
The new snakes received the other day
were contributions from friends of
Pete's in Miami, /. T. The box in which
the snakes came was marked: "11A
pounds of snakes, IS cents a pound.
There was no other writing on the box
other than the address of pete Gruber,'
which is ''Rattlesnake Pete's" more
formal name. The box contained snakes
OF the following species: Cotton
mouth snakes, copperheads, chicken
snakes, copper-bottom and mud snakes.
1t will be seen that most of these
snakes are very poisonous. The cotton
mouth snake is similar 70 the rattle
snake in every way excepting the lack
Of rattles. IL lis said that these snakes
nre more poisonous than rattiers, but
Pete, who has had considerable expe-
rience nursing snake bites, does not be-
lieve it.
The chicken snake is black snake
with red spots dotted here and there on
its body, and is quite pretty. AS Pete
took one of them from the case and ex-
amined him thoroughly, he remarked
that he guessed there wasn't much poi
son aboutit. The copper-bottom snakes
are similar to the snakes found in Flor
ida and otherVsouthern states. Pete
also handled them with great readiness,
but, in taking the cotton-mouth. cop
perhead and mud snakes from the box,
ne used more caution.

others and locked up the cage.
AS he locked the door he pointed TO a
four-foot snake which was curled up
in one corner of the cage. He was cop
pcr-bottom from Florida. He had just
swallowed field, or garter snake, meas
uring about three feet in length. An
other snake in the same cage had just
been fed 16 small mice and one kitten
week old. In order to prove that the
snakes would eat anything, Pete opened
the den and placed an ordinary egg in
front of one of the largest reptiles. His
snakeship was not long in encirclinS
the egg, and when he swallowed it he
was seen to tighten the body as if to
break the shell. =
The attention of Rattlesnake Pete was
called to a statement which was pub
lished from Cleveland, which stated that
the army worm, which had been doing
much damage in the northern part of
Ohio, had an enemy in the rattlesnake.
Pete stated that not only did the rat
tlesnakes devour the army worm, but all
snakes were fond of them.
"If theGarmers only knew when they
were we'll off," said Pete, "their garden
truck would be much better If they al
lowed the small snakes about the gar
den which are generally killed TO live,
that they might devour the insects"
Pete has known for fact where snakes
have gone through gardens and picked
bugs off the vegetables. Hence his APP
peal for the harmless little creatures"
In speaking of the nature of snakes
in general, Pete wound up the converse
ton by describing the attitude of the
black snake toward the rattlers, and in
fact all others, but particular the
former. Pete has q large number of
black snakes and rattlers in the same
cage. When one of the rattlers starts TO
devour a smaller snake or anything that
the black snakes want, the latter twists
around the body of the rattler and
squeezes so hard that he cannot swallow
the object.
The result is that the RATHER invari-
ably chol1es up whatever he has started
to eat and moves slowly away. They
never attempt to strike at black snake.
Rattlers often strike at objects which
they miss and happen to bury their
fangs in other snakes, but in all his ex-
perience Pete has never had one of these
cases which proved fatal
However, he claims that suicide is a
common thing among rattlers, as only
the other day he had n large rattlesnake
die from a wound self-inhicted. 1t APP
pears that about week ago this big
snake turned slowly around when Pete
was standing in front of the cage and
struck at himself. It's fangs were buried
deep into his skin, and in the morning
ne died.-Rochester Democrat and
