Rensselaer Druggist Has Two Live Rattlesnakes In His Show Window—And This a Dry County, Too. ( One of the most unique window displays we have seen for many a day was “a sign without words” in B F. I'endig’s drug store window Monday. It consisted of two live rattlesnakes, captured some place near Renselaer, and was mute evidence that this is the season for snake-bites and that rattlers are prevelant hereabouts, and a little of the old reliable antidote should be kept about the house in case anything should happen in this line. We don’t know personally the particular brands of “antidote” Ben carries. but they are evidently all right or he would not adopt so novel an advertising scheme.
