Miss Mae Leser, of Gratz, Pa., an eighteen-year-old girl, knows how it
feels to haul a large snapping turtle out of the water with her large
toe. With some other girls, Miss Leser was September Morn-ing in the
silent stream that gambols through the outskirts of Gratz. She gave a
scream when the snapper seized her toe, and the girls who were with her
say she went down into the water before they were able to get to the
rescue.
When the turtle was hauled out on dry land, and had sized up the
situation, he let loose and hastened back to the water. Miss Leser’s toe
is badly bruised.
Baby Takes Thrilling Ride.
After dashing down a steep hillside fifty yards in a gocart, which
overturned twice, and plunging from a six-foot retaining wall, George
Bukalic, aged two, son of Rudolph Bukalic, a Hungarian, of 2003 East
Street, Pittsburgh, Pa., still strapped in the gocart, landed in front
of a trolley car in East Street. The car was stopped in time to avoid
running over the cart, and the baby crawled out from under the wrecked
cart unhurt, except for two slight bruises on the head.
With Three Original Members.
With three survivors, the Hazleton Liberty Band, of Hazleton, Pa., which
was Grant’s headquarters band the day Lee surrendered at Appomattox,
paraded on its fiftieth anniversary of the return home from the Civil
War.
Germans Interned at Norfolk Enjoy Life.
The crews of the German auxiliary cruisers _Eitel Friedrich_ and the
_Kronprinz Wilhelm_, interned at Norfolk, Va., are enjoying life to its
fullest. Besides numerous entertainments accorded to officers and crews,
the men are living a life of luxurious idleness. Their chief vocation at
this time is pleasure--pleasure day and night.
They spend most of their time in Norfolk in the early hours of the day.
In the afternoon they go to Virginia Beach, Ocean View, and other
near-by resorts. They smoke good cigars, eat the best, and appear to
have plenty of money. Barring a few cases of beri-beri on the
_Kronprinz_, they are a healthy lot.
The men have been taken into the homes of a number of citizens and
entertained, and special services have been held for them in Protestant
churches. They are made to feel at home.
They appear on the streets in white uniforms with blue stripes and white
hats. They are as neat as new pins and their conduct is perfect. They
roam the streets arm in arm with American bluejackets, and visit the
best theaters and other public resorts.
