TOWN OF BRISTOL
HAS SNAKE FARM
Riddle Tells GUESS at Web
ster Springs a Fine
Snake Story.

WEBSTER SPRINGS, Sept 4.-The
champion snake hunter OF West Vir-
sinia is j. r. Riddle. and he halls
from the little village OF Bristol.
which is in Harrison county.
Mr.. Riddle makes business Of
catching and breeding rattlesnakes--
catching them alive-and during his
fifty or more summers has captured
hundreds OF the reptiles. He was in
Webster Springs last week, and just
to keep his hand in, took some of the
visitors out In the mountains near the
town to show them how he does 1t.
He captured two rattlers, male and
female, in less than no time and the
party returned in triumph to town.
He caught these snakes with moose
attached u a long pole though he
usually catches them with his bare
hands, nabbng them so quickly that
they do not get chance to bite him
very often. However. as scars on his
hands ana arms will prove, he has
been bitten several times, though the
poison of the reptiles has had no eff
feet on him, only 10 make me sick
at the stomach for short time" as
he puts it.
On his farm at Bristol he has an
enclosure in which he estimates that
he has 1000 or more rattlers, the
number materially increasing each
year Notwithstanding the fact that he
kills at least 1000 of them every
summer.
He skins them alive In order to
make the hides retain their glossy
appearance, then extracts the fluid
from the poison bags under their
head. The poison he disposes Of to
New York chemists at fancy price,
while the skins find ready sale for
the manufacture Of belts and other
useful articles. He finds the business
so profitable that he turns his whole
attention TO 1t.
Mr.. Riddle says it would he a
shame for the residents on Turkey
Creek, this county, to destroy the
rattlesnakes up there this fall by
pouring oil in their dens and firing il.
and he has declared his intention Of
returning to Webster county later on.
about the time the snakes seek their
dens and capturing hundreds OF
them. He has scheme whereby he
can gather them in by the barrel full,
but he would not disclose his method
to the writer. - RJg
Riddle is easily the champion snake
hunter Of West Virginia, and probab bly,
of the country at large.

ALI DAY
Religious Services Are Held
in the Washburn Grove
at Good Hope.

On September 8, the people OF
Good Hope and Tichenal, with quite
a number from other neighborhoods
met for an all-day religious service
in the Washburn grove, Good Hope,
a grove noted for its beauty, and foI
patriotic and religious gatherings
On this occasion the weather wa.
fine, and the assembly was large anc
enthusiastic. The regular Sunday
school lesson was recited in the
morning, a large number participai
ing, after which the day was spent
in addresses, songs and Rotations
all of which was instructive, edify.
ing and entertaining. Harvey w.
Harmer, Of Clarksburg, was present
and delivered an earnest and arous.
ing temperance address. The ladies
did their part we'll, for at the noon
hour they served to all a sumptuous
luncheon, which was so carefully
prepared that the most fastidiouc
could have no room for complaint.
The days services closed with the
adoption unanimously of the follow
ing resolutions:
Whereas, The enemies of prohi-
bition are rejoicing over the fact
made known by the Interstate Com
merce Commission that twenty mil.
lion gallons of liquor, annually, are
shipped into the nine prohibition
states, and,
Whereas, Many papers, after the
fact was made known, began to speak
of prohibition as failure. therefore
resolved, that we believe the two
following facts should be known
before starting the chorus, "Prohl.
bition doesn't prohibit
/. These twenty million gallons
were shipped into dry" TERRITORY
against the will OF the great
majority of the people, and
in most cases, in defiance
of the state law. The minority, which
will have its liquor, by fair means
or foul, succeed because the nation
does not help the state, as it should
in the struggle against drink. That
is one important feature of the case
q, The other is the fact that the
twenty million gallons consumed, on
nually, by the people of the prohibi.
ton states, is less than one-fourth
gallons per capita, while the pei
capita consumption, for the rest Of
the country is twenty-five gallons
The city of Chicago alone, with two
million people, consumes in thirty
days, as much Intoxicating liquor as
the fifteen million people in the nine
prohibition states drink in year
So, If the consumption OF spurious
liqurs in 1910, was greater than in
1909, it is plain to see that the in
crease was in licensed states, and is
an argument in itself for prohi,
bitlon. If the prohibition doesn't
prohibit" orators can get any com.
fort out of these facts. they are in,
vincible optimists.
2. We regard voluntary total alb
stinance from all intoxicants, as The
true ground for personal temperance
and complete legal prohibition of the
traffic in alcoholic drinks.
