Who said snakes? And isn't that
lovely subject about which to
: in this column, and what
docs it have to do with horse and
buggy days, anyway?
We'll lets see. Down near the
,;++1a town of Wolfsville, some
oars ago, there lived a man by
tba name of Bill Wilmer and Bill,
was the champion snake catcher
of the county.
TO the casual observer, it al
rovs looked as if Bill had some
noculiar power over snakes. Yes,
or no. he certainly could capture
the ugly reptiles = and the po1s-
onous kind, too. Rattlers and
conperheads were Bills speciality.
He didn't fool his time much with
hlacksnakes, because they are
eaid to be useful on the farm in
feeding on destructive varmints
with which the farmer is bother
ed.
MANY of the older citizens of
Hagerstown no doubt remember
Bill when he came to town. On
many occasions he would bring
two or three rattlers or copper
heads with him = tucked away
in his bosom. He was always the
whole show" wherever he hap
pened to be seen on the street
with his "pets." A favorite place
for Bill to catch his snakes was in
the mountain near Black Rock. 1t
is said that when Bill had one OF
his pet snakes in his hand no one

'Quee1lie' Dies! Pet Bear at Hamilton Park Zoo Cheeks Out" Official Bulletin In-
 form ms Sor-
 rowing Ad-
 mirers.

Just at the time when parents are planning sorties to the city's parks, and children are looking forward to seeing the animals, Waterbury's zoo out at Hamilton park lost one of it's principal at fractions. "Queenie," smaller of the two bears, resident of a cage at the park for five years, died yesterday of a disease believed to be a form of toxemia, or sys- tematic poisoning.
 "Queenie," according to William Coss, caretaker, is not the bear charged with biting a child some months ago. She had shown signs of illness Wednesday and pr. Charles H. Beere reported to the park department last night as follows:
 "The smaller of the two bears at Hamilton park died today.
 Tt is my opinion that the cause of death was a toxemia, due to the improper elimination of the by products of the body.
 "It is also my opinion that these animals have had exceptionally good care, the cages were clean, and proper food was given as far as possible.
 Tt is understood that the food for bears in the spring is roots grubs, frogs, fish and honey.
 With the loss of some of these necessary ingredients in theil food and the limited amount o1 exercise, we are bound to have losses in animals kept in cap- tivity."
