An ISBIAxTALE.

An old-timer Was talking in Cen
Cooks Brunswick yesterday, and in
the course Of his conversation the old
Indian troubles were revived. For
the benefit Of the thousands Of readers
Of the Republican it is explained that
an old timer isa man who came to
Denver some time bstore 81 and has
been kicking himself ever since because
he didn't buy thirty nine acres in the
middle of the town, which he could
easily have done for thirty-6ve cents.
This eld-timer is a prominent and re-
spected citizen, however, and has an
inexhaustabls fund of "reminiscences
about the time which tried mems souls.
"I knew man." he said, ''named
Phil Gardner, who got up big reputa-
tien about go up around Laramie, by
eating an Ingun."
"well," said the old-timer, Phil was
quite a character. He was six and a
half feet high, weighed Sbout go
pounds, and didn't have a FOUND OF fa'
on MIN. He came West on account Of
little difficulty he bad in Philadslphia
where he was engaged as Tingleader In
the great riots. He was tried for muir
der and sent up for life. He was a
perfect giant in strength as well as in
size, and one day, getting tired of
prison life, he quietly killed the keep
er by breaking him in two across bis
knee and started West. He drifted
onto the plains where there was ample
scope for his talents and no questions
asked and became q scout attached to
the regular army. One day he was
sent cut on foet with dispatches to
another post. His companion Was q
friendly Indian and the two u,ade good
headway uatil they were overtaken by
q snow storm in which they became
lost. Days passed by and they were
given up, when Big Phil walked into
Laramie with sack On his back, which
he threw down with q sigh. The com
mander shook hands with him, and
after telling him how glad he was Il
see him safely back, asked where the
/ 4uhA4u Wa6s
"That's all there is left Of him." re-
spouded Phil, pointing to the sack,
An investigation was made, and the
contents were found to be the leg of ar
Indian: only this and netbing mora,
Phil had eaten him."
When the old-timer finished his story
a dead silence fell on the crowd. Gen
Cook broke the silencs by saying.

Rats greatly infest ships, and are by
them conveyed to every part Of the
world. So industriously do they make
homes for themselves in the numerous
crannies aud corners in the hull Of the
ship, that it is impossible to get rid of
them. Ships take out rats as well as
passengers and cargo every voyage I,
whether the former remain in the ship
at port is best known to themselves.
When the East India Company had
ships of their own th,y employed rat
catcher, who sometimes captured 500
rats in one ship just returned from
Calcutta. The ship rat il often the
black species. Sometimes black and
brown inhabis the same vessel, and
unless they carry on perpetual hostili-
ties the one party will keep in the
head of the vessel and the ether to the
stern. The ship rat is very anxious
that his supply of fresh water shall
not fail he will come on deck when il
rains, and climb up to the wet sails to
suck them. Sometimes he mistakes q
spirit cask for a water cask, and he gets
drunk. A captain on an American
ship is credited (or discreditnd) with an
ingenious bit of sharp practice as q
means of clearing his ship from rats
Having discharged cargo at a port in
Holland, he found his ship in juxtapo
aition to another which had just takes
in cargo of Dutch cheese. He laid I
plank at night from one vessel to anoth
er; the rats, tempted by the Odor
trooped along the plank and began t.
feast. He took care that the planl
should not be there to serve them as 1
pathway back again, ard SO the chsess
laden ship had cruel addition to it
outward cargo.

One Sunday evening recently a Bos-

near the close of his sermon and said !:
"We would be glad if that young
man in the vestibule would come inside
and satisfy himself as TO whether she is
or is not here. That would be much
better than a hslf-inch dranght on the
occupants of the back pew"
