THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

Ruler of Reptile Kingdom Is

Collegians Dethrone

PRESIDENT UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY

Dethroned by Latest Arrival
(By W. A. Kirkpatrick)
"Nitro," the larpe diamond-bacrattler that has reigned supreme in
the reptile kingdom of the zoology
department of the University for the
past few weeks has been dethroned
and is no longer the center of attraction. He gave his high position to
the more important arrival, which,
the keeper says, is his grandfather
that arrived from Texas last Tuesday.
Ray Stadeiman, snake keeper, and
Doctor Funkhouser, dean of the graduate school, were very enthusiastic
over the new arrival which is much
like "Nitro," except he is larger. A
letter was dispatched by Doctor
Funkhouser thanking the donor of
the reptile fifteen minutes after the
snake was placed in the cage.
C. J. Meredith, state superintendent of wardens of the Kentucky Game
and Fish Commission, who is in
Texas purchasing quail to restock
Kentucky, found the snake and sent
it to Doctor Funkhouser.
There was a great battle when the
reptile was taken from the box and
although spectators ran affrighted
from the room, Stadeiman seemed to
enjoy the fight.
The reptile is more than twelve
inches in circumference, six feet long,
and weighs eighteen pounds.
"Nitro" has been supreme in the
dominion of the zoology department
since his arrival at the University.
For a short time before he arrived
all was quiet, for none of the reptile
kingdom
remained to molest the
peaceful surrounding. All the others
had died when their keeper tried to

Roy Stadeiman began his operations at the University at the beginning of school last September, when
he opened the first and only snake
dairy operated in Lexington. Sixteen
robust timber rattlesnakes constituted
the reptile kingdom.
At that time
these were daily "milked" for their
venom. The students were so accustomed to regular cow milk dairies,

Feeling certain that the rat would
meet its fate resignedly and be devoured. But not so. Mr. Rat, instead
of submitting to being made a meal,
turned on the snakes and killed four
of them. Not only that, but he ate
the tender parts that struck his fancy.
This left five snakes, including King
Oscar, the ruler of the cage.
A few days later Stadeiman decided
the snakes must be hungry, since the
rat had not suited their tastes, and

"Our reason for breaking the contract," said Albert Salisbury, president of the association, "is that we
feel that College Humor is painting
a picture of flaming youth which is
not real, and which gives to the aver-erareader a false idea of college
life.
"The magazine takes all the gin
and sex jokes and plays them as representative college humor, with- no
mention of any other type. College
magazines bury the gin and sex jokes,
with a greater proportion of clean
humor just as representative of college life."
The action was unanimous.'

lined at New Roe for two sets of lime
to be crushed during July and August, with F. C. Calvert as leader in
getting farmers to use lime in that
community and to obtain a pulver

ranged for the community of Settle
with S. L. Harmon as leader, to ob

Gentlemen:
Two years ago my wife gave me an
xpensive pipe. I smoked it a great
Jeal for two or three weeks, put it aside,
ihen began smoking it again. This
time it was very strong. Veterans told
me that it had been smoked too hard
for a new pipe and should be put away.
The pipe was laid away again. A
short time ago I got it out and smoked
one of the common brands of tobacco
in it. The results were disappointing.
I told the druggist of my experience
with it. He asked if I had tried Edge-wort- h.
I told him I never had. I followed his suggestion, and I am honest
wnen I say that it has restored the
jweetness to the pipe, and has made
.ne wonder. Was it the pipe or the
brand of tobacco that caused me to
;ay it away for the long period of time?
As a novice, I prefer Edgeworth. I
am going to stick to it, as I feel satisfied that there is none better on tht
market.
Sincerely yours,
Philip C. Shera
