TURTLES FOR PETS
Tennessee Woman Has Twenty In
House With Her.

House With Her.
Twenty turtles are pets" of Mrs. S.
D. Mitchell, 72S Morgan street, Knox
Vile, Tenn. Mrs Mitchell is a sister
Of S. B. Luttrell, prominent business
man. She claims that turtles are true
barometers and that she can tell from
their actions what the weather will be.
Mrs. Mitchell has had turtles for
pets fifteen years. She has studied
their characteristics from every angle.
Each fall she puts them away in sand,
dirt and leaves for the winter Her
observation has been that when they
stay buried and don't emerge from
their winter homes that there is going
to be cold hard winter.
This year she put them away as
usual and they came out of their hid
ing place the next day. Mrs. Mitchell
says that is sure indication, that east
Tennessee will have little cold wealth
er. She claims that they have never
failed to tell the kind of weather that
Is coming.
Mrs. Mitchell is very fond Of her
pets and has trained them so that
they will eat out of her hands. She
has n special place in the yard for
them. The pen is walled up and she
has constructed little homes for them
out of shells, concrete and brick.
These turtles have been sent to Mrs.
Mitchell by friends from all parts of
the country. Examination Of the tur-
ties showed that each has a different
marking.
Mrs. Mitchell says that in clden days
the Indian tribes worshipped turtles,
as their god. Sometimes the Indians
would arrange their hair to resemble
the head Of q turtle.
Mrs. Mitchell adds that her turtles
are very fond of hamburger steak,
which she feeds them at intervals.
They also eat worms, bugs and flies.
Recently seven little turtles arrived at
tie turtle home"
