RATTLERS ARE LOVING PETS
so Says Lonesome Jack" Altman,
Who Has Caught $4,000 In
California.

Los Angeles.-Ever since Lonesome
Jack Altman was seven years old he
has been "foolin' round" snakes. He
has captured his 18,000th snake.
"The rattlesnake is the most intelli-
gent Of all reptiles and the most af-
fectionate," Jack declared. After
they have been fanged they are the
most desirable of snake pets. They
can be made to come to you just like
a pet dog or cat" Jack and his
brother Sherley made journey
through the mountains the past week
in quest of snakes and brought back
several large rattlers.
II found out that rattlers were thick
er in the mountains this summer than
they have been for years." he said.
THE season seems to have been Just
right to bring them out. A forest
ranger told me that he had killed moro
this summer than in the last five
years put together.
II have been bitten by rattlers seven
times in my life, but always had per-
manganate Of potash with me and
saved myself from serious harm. l
promptly split the wound with my
knife and apply the antidote before
the poison has had time to get into
my system"
When Jack returned with the rep
tiles he entertained his friends with
an exhibition of snake dentistry, in
which he extracted the fangs from sew
eral rattlers.
ut isn't generally known that a
rattlesnake has seven sets of fangs,'
Jack continues. There Is one pair OF
main fangs, one pair of reserve fangs
and five pairs of fangs which float in
the poison sac. If the main fangs are
removed and one OF the other pairs
left in the mouth they will very short
ly grow into position to be used.
When am travelling in the mountains
and see snake track in the dust l can

snake made it, which way it was trav-
cling and about how long it has been
since it passed by. / have call that

New York.-Among the occupations
Of New York city are many of an un-
usual nature, which could not exist
elsewhere than in a center of vast
population. Specialized occupations
these are, which demand huge pop
ulation from which to draw their pat
ronage. New York is the city OF spe-
cialized trades. Innumerable articles
which in smaller cities could be but
by-product of some more general busi-
ness find here a sufficient market TO
make their separate existence pos
sible.
There is the sawdust man, for In
stance, who in New York Is very i'm
portant business man. The wholesale
sawdust dealer advertises all kinds
Of sawdust and requests that you will
telephone your needs so that there
may be an early delivery.
1t used to be that anyone who want
ed sawdust went to the sawmill and
asked for as much as he wanted. There
was only one kind of sawdust in the
good old days and that was an unim-
portant product which anybody could
have for the asking. Now the saw
dust wholesaler will tell you that saw
dust is a very valuable product and
that the sawdust business Is Offering
greater opportunities every day.
There are about sixty kinds OF saw
dust on the market, SO says the saw
dust expert, and all of them have their
stated uses in the realm of trade.
Mahogany sawdIst is just as aristo'
cratic and elegant a product as ma

sawdust is useful.
There are several firms in New Yorl
who have no other care in this worlt
than to discover the dark secrets o

SPEAKING IN PUBLIC

Prof. Critics. Of the city high school
as it seems to US, has inaugurated {
system for the teaching Of economics
that is to be commended; for at the
same time the boy or girl is learning
the principles Of economics he is form
ing the habit Of speaking in public. No
man ever regrets the practice he gets
in his younger days in the art of public
speaking. No one can ever tell when
the occasion may arise when be will be
called on to deliver a public address
And no embarrassment is greater than
that caused by a sudden summons to
one, who is unaccustomed to such dut-
les, to set forth his ideas in a speech
in a public gathering. Mr.. Critics is
teaching his pupils to think on their
feet and how to express themselves in
a way that will impress their hearers
and convey to them their thought in
clear, concise manner.
The students are finding the work
thus performed more interesting. The
dry phrases of economies dissertations
have taken on new charm. They are
gathering a useful knowledge and
learning the valuable lessons of self
confidence. But they want to remem
Der. that, when they learn to express
themselves before their fellow men
and women without fear, their express
ions should be brief and concise. Many
good speakers detract from their
strength and power by talking too
much.

THE SCHOOL FAIR PRIZES

II seems that some misunderstanding
arose over the school fair prizes last
year. Some of the recipients of the
premiums awarded by the merchants
supposed that they had the option of
taking the prize or its money valua-
tion. This is not so, however. The
merchants. who contribute to the
premium lists and thus make it possi-
BILE for numerousa wards, usually set
down the money valuation of their con-
tribution, but they do not mean that
they will give money instead. We
heard Of one instance last year, where
one of the premium winners asked the
merchants for cash, instead of the
merchanise, that a bicycle mightsbe
bought from mail order house with
the proceeds.
Naturally, this did not sound the
most pleasing to the merchants to
whom the request was made. The con-
testants, who make such demand of the
contributors of prizes. are taking an
unjust advantage of them. And, view
ing such circumstances, we might we'll
wish that the premiums of the fairs
consisted of no more than ribbons.
The boy and girl who would really
benefit by the fairs, would work just
as hard to win recognition and the
premium of the emblem of merit, the
ribbon, as for the small merchandis,
or cash prize, and the contestant VIII,
would work for the mere premiums
and not because Of the benefits of tn,
contest would be eliminated.
