Scrap Book HAD TO HAVE ALL OUTDOORS | Excellent Reason Why Shoemaker Had Not Got Down to Work on Those Clogs. | j | In a Yorkshire village lived a man | whose feet were immense.

H edie | The rattlesnake catchers of the | Brownsville, Texas, district are going | through a period of severe depression, as live snakes at prevent are bringing only 8 cents a pound, according to T | Gilbert Pearson, president of the Na ~ tional eties, who has just returned from the | work of staking out # proposed 150,- 000-acre tract in the southern tip of | Texas asa game and bird sanctuary. The greatest rattlesnake establish- ment in the world is maintained near Brownsville by a dealer named King, known as “Rattlesnake King.” He had 100,000 rattlers In stock during December, Mr. Pearson sald. | These are sold to zo ical gardens snake charmers, circuses, naturalists | and snake lovers all over the country, | but the demand has recently become | low. Many Mexicans earn their living catching rattlers and are glad to get even 8 cents a pound for them. Mr. Pearson's mission was under- more than taken at the rcquest of the depart- | ; ment of agriculture for the purpose of mapping out @ great game preserve io the extreme south of Texas, where @ stretch of sandhills exists on which are found between twenty and thirty species of birds, including game birds United not found elsewhere in the States —New York Tribune. Poor Roads in Holy Land. The main roads leading from Jerusa- fem to Jericho, to Jaffa and Ramala, from Haifa to Mount Carmel and Nas areth, and from there to Tiberias, are fairly good when the damages done to them during the heavy winter rains have been repaired. General Allenby 200 miles of roads during the ‘campaign in Palestine against the Turks, but the upkeep is very costly. The best material for repairing them ased tou come from east of the Jordan, | which is now known as Transjordanla, | and is peopled by nice Bedoulns who spend their time watching thelr wives | work and planning midnight raids upon the Zionist camps across the sacred river, built / yj ! | THE UNCERTAIN RACES / yan | “When | go to the races t get the / lady I'm with to shut her and is \ jab her, hatpin through a name on | the programme. Then | play the 4 | horse.” “Trouble Is, even that system len't infallible.” The High Cost of Honor. Nobility orders and badges of honor | in Germany hitherto, upon the death of the owner, have been left as sou- \venirs to his heirs, though only upon payment to the state of their bullion value. Now the prime minister an- Mii nounces that because of the increased value of gold he is compelled, in the interest of the state, to increase by 100 per cent the prices of all such lecorations, It does not appear that this applies }to the Iron Cross, though It has been | 80 numerously awgrded, one would think, as materially to affect the sup- | ply of that most ul metal, The Secret. In a certain social set they were one | day discussing the remarkable success jot a rich but Ul-favored girl's mar- riage with a spendthrift clubman, | Now no one could understand the | thing, which at the outset had seemed to bode so ill, But one matron shrug- | ged her shotiders and sald: | “The girl won't let her busbaod |touch a penny of ber principal, and that, you see, keeps up the interest.” No Idle “Buddies” in Louisiana.
