pilfering, and is engaged in manufac-
turing an instrument of death which
will send the poor rat into eternity
without any time for devotional exer-
cises. Jake has n partner in this UNI

aud frequent visits are made there with
q view Of manufacturing the invention
rs soon as practicable. A wire, attached
to telegraph instrument, is extended
under the depot to the northeast corner
of the building where Mr.. Rat most fire.
quently makes his appearance, and here
is placed an ingeniously devised series
Of springs, with some grain or other
tempting food placed near il. When
the rat touches the spring, Jake applies
his hand 10 the key Of tile instrument,
and away goes the electricity upon lis
murderous mission. The result can be
imagined.
