AAyE QUEER PETs
Lonely Men In Signal Tower
Welcome All Sorts.
ceckroaeh That Likes Tobacco and
Drinks Ink 10 One vIsItor-Toad
Came Regularly for Its
Feast Of FLEA


A Boston and Maine railroad signal
towerman tells this story Of pets he
has mpde In his lonely perch above the
tracks:
Al midnight nine months ago cock
roach crept out from under the teIe-
graph desk and began to drink out Of
the inkwsll; Just about that time ! laid
my cigar down on the desk and began
10 work the telegraph key.
The cockroach walked over TO my
cigar and sucked at the moist end for
a second or 20. then ran to the Ink
well again and took drink. then came
back to the cIgnr; he repeated this
performance several times end stag
gered away drunk as q lord.
Every night around midnight for the
past nine months this cockroach has
drank from the inkwell on my desk
and either sucked the moist end Of my
cigar or some moIsteped tobacco I
place near the Inkwell for him. '-------
One Of the boys found a tiny musk
rat In the marsh back Of the signal
tower one day. and he brought II into
the tower. The muskrat became very
tame and proved u most affectionate
pet. he slept on the desk near the
telegraph instruments for over two
years. Although he went out very
often. he wouldn't stay long. and
would scratch at the door until some
OF us would run downstairs and let
him in. Unfortunately onv pet was
killed by a freight train while cross
Ing the tracks near the tower one day.
After the muskrat died we brought
IN tiny woodchuck that n trainman
had captured out on the line. and he
became very much attached TO all OF
us, and, like the muskrnt. he became
Il very clever and amusing pet.
"Shuck" stayed with us two years. and
finally he disappeared one day. Pos.
abby some dog got him. or he may
have been crushed by a train.
For the past 20 years an English
sparrow has nested In the caves Of the
tower. and this sparrow files In and out
Of the tower at will. picks up bread
crumbs on the floor and catches an 90
cas!onnl cockrosch. What worries the
tower men is that our pet sparrow may
come day eat our pet cockroach.
Last year q toad hoped up on e
the doorstep Of the tower and sat there
blinking. One Of the boys fed him
fly and the toad gobbIed II In an
instant. and every afternoon all sum
mer long that toad hoped up on Il
the step and ate flies as fast ~ thu
railroad men would feed them to him
The boys took turns and fed him Ia
relays; the yardmaster said the boy
were neglecting their work to feed the
toad: but he became 30 fascinated
watching the performance that h<
caught flies for an hour one day and
fed the toad.
I'm afraid the toad win 60 hungry
this summer II he shows up. for we're
too busy moving war supplies to both
er with feeding pets around a railroat
yard.
Every stray dog that ever wandere,
into the ward has found a haven In tn
tower, and several litters Of puppie
have been born there.
We've had cats galore; one cat Il
particular was snake catcher. ant
she brought in a snake nearly ever.

The mouth Of the communication

no l knew the Turks had found the
range aud had got to this trench In

lots Of blood and equipment but no

and that they had retired. taking their
casualties with them.
The Turks still had the range, and
they were sending u shell Into the

shell was 80 far away that II knocked
me down with force OF habit more
than anything else. felt dizzy and
shlvered a lot, and kept trying to think
Of Murray or anything else but myself.
SO finally ] got to the top OF the
little hill over which the gully ran,
and on the other side felt almost
safe. Just down from the crest OF the
hill was one of our artillery positions,
with the good old "75s" giving II to the
Turks as fast as they could. | told
the artillery officers what had hap.

but did not say anything.
When ] looked around I saw that
our real position was to the right Of
where the artillery was, and that there
were three lines Of trenches with
French infantry In them. SO the
trenches had come from were more
like outposts than anything else ant
were cut of. ! felt pretty sure, then
that the boys In them would never
come back alive. because as soon as
their fire let UP the Turks would ad
vance, and to keep them hack our guns
would have to wipe out our men, ant
II they did not, the Turks would. Al
