SNAKE EXHIBIT GROWS.
Rather Is Now Added to c. v. PEN
dIeton's Collection.

A banded rattlesnake which came
from Lantern Hill has been placed
with the copperhead snake in the box
in c. V. Pendleton's store on Broad
way. 1t has seven buttons on it's tail
and thereby 1T is approximately Nten
years old. The two snakes of the two
species get along nicely together and
one lies coiled up amid the folds of
the other. The RATHER is livelier than
his companion. One curious person
thrust a pencil into the box through
the wire screening on top and the
reptile darted out at it. His head
struck the wire and the young man
jumped. Also the snake started to
eat one of the dead sparrows with
which Mr.. Pendleton has been striv-
ing to tempt the copperhead, but the
crowd seemed to embarrass' the RATHER
and he stopped. The copperhead is
still fasting, although he does quench
his thirst at times. He is not like
the 9 1-2 foot black snake that La
fayette Main had at the North Ston-
ington fair. Lafayette caught that
snake sucking a COW and ever since
the hungry reptile has eaten all the
frogs that his owner can feed, as we'll
as a couple of smaller snakes that
Mr.. Main put in for, company.

PARCEL POST TAG
....- is NEW FEATURE.
Can Be Used to Prove Package Has
Been Mailed.

The post office department has
adopted a device for the benefit of its
patrons using the parcel post privilege,
which costs one cent and is the nature
of a receipt to show that the parcel
has actually been mailed. This re-
ceipt is in the form of a green tag to
which a one cent stamp must be af-
fixed. Part of this tag is tied to the
package and the balance of il held by
the sender and o. KID by the postal
authorities. The tag held by the send
er contains his name and address and
the name and address OF the person
or FIRM to whom the package is sent
While this tax does not insure the
parcel, at the same time it is an evil
dence that the parcel in question was
actually sent and will aid the depart
ment in adjusting claims for the loss
of Packages or in actually finding
misdirected packages.
The chief advantage of the tag,
however, is that the sender can in
trust any number of valuable pack
ages to his agent to mail and receive
back in the to- slips absolute evil
denae that the agent has carried out
his instructions. The department
feels that the penny tag feature is
going to be very popular with people
who are sending parcels that they do
not care to insure.
