WISE SNAKE TooTS WHISTLE
Rather Pulls Rope in Sawmill and
Rouses Whole Town of
Hoosiers,

Martinsburg, Ind.-Irvin Durnill,
here, had a three-foot r~attlesnake,
whose demise occurred the other day,
which blew the whistle of his engine
for him.
This is a true story.
The whistle blew so long and hard
the morning of the snakes death that
everybody in the town ran to the mill
thinking it was an alarm of fire.
They found Durnill standing at the
door Of the ~engine-room apparently
afraid to enter, while on the rope at
tached to the whistle the snake was
wound. footing as though it enjoyed it.
The theory of the local biologists
is that the snake crawled up ON the
boiler of the engine during the night
to keep warm, and that when Durnill
got up steam 1t climbed the rope to
escape the heat, its weight being suf-
icient to blow the whistle, and that
Durnill was afraid to go after the crit
ter.
The engineer, however, denies he
was afraid. There Is another story
going around, that Durnill had trained
the snake to blow the whistle at seven
o'clock every morning, and that
Durnill's assistant, becoming over
enthusiastic, simply worked too long,
rousing the whole place.
Somebody got a shotgun and killed
the snake.

A NEW ROUTE TO THE ADIRON-
DACK MOUNTAINS AND THE
THOUSAND ISLANDS.

For the summer season of 1906
the New York Central Railroad has
inaugurated two new Pullman Buffet
Sleeping Car Lines, which will give
the great population residing south
of Jersey City a most convenient and
service to and from all
points in the Adirondack Mountains
and the Thousand Islands region.
Through Pullman buffet sleeping
cars are operated via the Pennsylva-
mia, West Shore, and the New York
Central Railroads, daily, except Sun
day, between Philadelphia and Lake
Placid, and connection is made by
these cars at Jersey City with Pull
man buffet sleeping cars running via
the West Shore and New Jersey Cen
trail railroads to Clayton, N. Y, one
of the principal gateways to the
Thousand Islands region.
The picturesque Adirondack Noun
tains and the beautiful Thousand
Islands are especially popular during
the months of July and August.
The great motor boat races will be
a special attraction at the Thou and
Islands in August, and this whole
region is famous for its cool breezes
it's great hotels, its canoeing and
fishing, its cottage and camp life, its
winding channels and picturesque
shores.
The beautiful lakes, the crysta.
streams, the wooded slopes and rug
ged peaks or the Adirondack Noun
tains allure the lover of beauty. and
the fine hunting and fishing attract
the sportsman. Raquette Lake, Long
Lake, the Upper Lakes, Cranberry
Lake, the Saranacs and Lake Placid
all give one an idea of the beauty
and charm of this ''land of the thou
sand lakes"
The Adirondack Mountains and
the Thousand Islands are both won
derfully attractive regions, and they
are made more convenient of access
for a vast number of people by these
newly established lines.
