A Boston and Maine railroad signal | towerman tells this story of pets he | has made in his Jonely perch above the | tracks: | At midnight nine months ago a cock- roach. crept out from under the tele- | graph desk and began to drink out of the inkwell ; just about that time I ldid my cigar down on the desk and began to work the telegraph key. The cockroach walked over to mY cigar end sucked at the moist end for | @ second or so, then ran to the ink- | well again and took a drink, then came back'to the cigur; he repeated this Performance several times and stag- ‘gered away drunk as a 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 moistened tobacco Ij place near the inkwell for him. | One of the boys found a tiny muske | rat in the marsh back of the signal | tower one day, and he brought it Into the tower. The muskrat became very | tame and proved a 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 1, gf-us would run downstairs and, let him in. Unfortunately our pet was killed. by a freight train while cross- ing the tracks near the tower one day. After the muskrat died we brought (n a tiny woodehuck that a trainman had-captured out om the line, and he became very much attached to all of as, and, Uke the muskrat, he became asa “Gets-It” for Corns 2 Drops. 2 Seconds—Corn is Doomed. ., When you almost die with your shoes on and corns make you almost walk. sideways to get away (from the pain, take a vacation for a min- ute .or two and apply 2 or 3 drops uine corn-peelef, “Gets-It/’ Then and then only will you be sure that your cotn will lepsen from your toe so that you can peel it right off glori- ously easy with your sfingers.

Pos | sibly sume dog got him, or he may | have been crushed by a train. For the past 20 years an English sparrow has nested in the eaves of the | tower, and this sparrow flies in and out of the tower at will, picks up bread crignbs on the floor and catches an oe | casional cockroach, What worries the | tower men is that our pet sparrow may geome day eat our pet cockroach, . F | Last year a toad hopped up on to, Lonely Men in Signal Tower | the doorstep of the tower and sat there | blinking. One of the boys fed him a fly and the toad gobbled it in an, instant, and every afternoon all sum- | mer long that toad hopped up on to the step and ate flies as fast as the | railroad men would feed them to him. The boys took turns and fed him in relays; the yardmaster said the boys were neglecting their work to feed the toad; but he became so fascinated watching the performance that he caught flies for an hour one day and fed the toad. | I'm afraid the toag will go hungry | this summer if he shows up, for we're | | too busy moving war supplies to both- er with feeding pets around a railrdad yard. | equipped with a twoton motor winch, Every stray dog that ever wandered | into the ward has found a haven in the | tower, and several litters of puppies have been born there. i We've had cats galore; one’ cat in | particular was a snake catcher, and she brought in a snake nearly every | day. | Stole Sugar by Bucketfuls, Sugar thieves employed an ingenfous | method the other day at Launceston, ; Australia.

Ac- cordingly huts were built on the, wharves, but as the decking had shrunk somewhat, tarpaulins were first laid down, and then the sugar bags placed on this. The doors were| locked, and a watchman placed inj charge. When the time came to empty ; the sheds the bottom tier of bags | were found flat and empty, with a slit | in the under side? sponded with one in the tarpaulin di- | rectly over spaces ‘in the planking.
