seemed to know the touch, for with q

perception that nature had designed

ings of destiny, and thus has become
what he is Mr. Fullerton is very ready to
converse on the subject, of who's" i'm,
POI tance he has long had a powerful
conception. He has but lone rival in
this city, Richard Toner, better known
as Dick the Ratter.' The business is
always performed at night, and Mr..
Fullerton averages four nights in a
week. The places most infested with
rats are hotels, restaurants and slaugh
ter houses. From one of the former he
took 1914 While in one of the latter the
catch was PIG. The task requires MUCH
patience, and three nights are generally
devoted to one place. He took from
one hotel 100 the first night, goo the
second, night, and Is the third. For
this important service his terms are $50
per house, but hotels are required to
the business, and Mr., Fullerton has occa-
sionally been bitten severely, but he
knows how to handle Il rat with safety.
Mr. Fullerton says that "rat catching"
as trade cannot be Taught. In other
words Gas Horace says Of the roet,) the
rat catcher must be born to his voca-
ton. Those who have the grand in
stincts which impel them to the work

given that they are worth $40 per hun

IN eight minutes, and this animal could
not be bought for 500. Should Bergh
break up the rat pits, which is now
highly probable, it would seriously i'm
