NOVEL MOUSE TRAP. Mr. John Gibbs of
Washington recently bought some clans while
down this way and took them home. AS this
bivalve is something of rarity in that corner
OF Knox county, Mr.. G. desires to have his
purchase last as long as possible. So he put
the clans into the cellar and sprinked Indian
meal moistened with water over them. In the
morning when he went for his clans he met a
sight that struck him with establishment. The
mice on the premises had scented the meal and
went for it, while the clans had received them
with the utmost hospitality. When Mr.. g.
reached the cellar he found the top of the tub
covered with the little rodents, each one held
firmly by the tail by clam.
