Mr.. Farnham. Ohicially, this oc-
cupant of Mr.. Farnham's Office is
called a blue racer. It is, he says,
harmless.
The blue racers companion in the
cage or on the carpet is a very
fat and sluggish fellow which, like
women of ample girth, seldom de-
velops q bad temper, and visitors
can get out of its way good deal
easier than they can get out OF the

This, the heavier Of Mr.. Farm

except that it has not rattles and
is not poisonous. OF course If 1t

Weekly Forced Feeding.
The bull snake vibrates its tail
as its deadly cousin does its rattles
and it has a reed" in its mouth

not unlike that of the rattlesrake's S

Special Dispatch to The Star and MANA.
MILWAUKEE.-A. j. Farnham is
a well-browned, dignified sort of a
gentleman. He is Milwaukee repre-
sentative of the Thomas A. Edison
Laboratories, Ediphone division. On
the walls of his Office are pictures
of Thomas A. Edison and of the late
wizards son, Charles, now Governor
of New Jersey. The Office is, per-
haps, a bit more dignified than the
average.
It contains. however, one most
unusual piece of Office furniture
which stands against the north
wall below a colored etching Of
some rustic scene.
It is. in brief, a glass case or cage
in which there is an ash tray filled
with water. Very occasionally the
two occupants of the cage glide over
and take a drink.
The occupants, like people, are
very different. One Is long and
sleek and graceful, has beautiful
yellow belly and green back that
merges into blue. 1t is obviously
temperamental and, says Mr.. Farm
ham. can run as fast as man,
although it prefers climbing trees
to eat birds and their eggs.
Blue Racer Whips About.
It whips about Mr.. Farnham's
office at terrific speed when he let's
it out of the cage, tries to climb up
the walls, crawls up through the
Stats of his Venetian blinds and
likes particularly to wiggle over Mr..
Farnham's desk and, after coiling
itself up on the desk clock, reach
its 81 inches toward the aluminium
light fixture on the ceiling.

During these proceedings, there
is a little pile of wieners on Mr..
Farnham's desk and, with his free
left hand, he picks up one at a
time and starts stuf1ng.
The bull snake can wrap its jaws
about a streamlined wiener with
no effort at all. It is question,

tame mice, but the mice merely

and had a lovely time.
Then he captured g. wild mouse
and before it had even landed at
the bottom of the cage it was in

smell different than wild ones, says
Mr.. Farnham, and while snakes
