Getting Ahead OF Rats,

Rats are wonderfully clean animals,
and they dislike tar, perhaps more than
anything else, for II II once gers on their
ia 'kets they find 1t most difficult 10 re
move Now. I had heard it mentioned
thai pouring TAR down at the entrance of
their holes was good cemedy, also plac-
ing broken pieces of glass by their holes
WAS another remedy. But these rene
dies are not effective. The rats may
leave their old holes and make fresh ones
in another part of tie house they don't,
however. leave the premises for good

ment-one I had not heard CT before
One evepiog [ set large wire cage rat
trap, attaching inside IA most seductive
piece of strongly smelling cheese. and
the next morning found to my satisfac
ton that | had succeeded IN trapping a
very large rat, one OF the largest that |
had ever seen. which, after | had be-
smeared, let loose into bis favorite run.
The next night / tired again, and sue
ceeded 10 catching another equally as
big fellow, and served him in the same
manner. L could not follow those two
tar-besmeared rats into their numerous
runs to see what would happen; but it is
reasonable to assume that they either
summoned together all the members of
their community, and by their crest-fal
len Appearance gave their comrades ST
lent indications of the misfortunes
which had so suddenly befallen them,
or that they frightened their brethren
away, for they one and all forsook the
place and fed The experimen mt was en-
inently successful. From that day in
1875, until now, 1888. my house, ancient
though it is, has been entirely free from
rats: apd [ believe that there is no rem
edy equal to this one, if You can catch

having been a soldier in the Confederate
army during the war. l never had
cause to regret the course took. The
world may heap reproaches on his men,
DRY as bandit and outlaw, but he was
always loving husband and kind faith
er. The reporter then asked the par
ticulars of Jesse's death, and she said:
sit is subject l do not like to speak
of, but it was scene that 1 shall never
forget. Bob and Charley Ford were old
friends of my husband. had met them
many times and had perfect confidence
IN them. At the time they sought ref.
uge with us we were living in cottage
IN the outskirts of st. Joe, Mo. And
they were welcome. The third day af-
ter their arrival 1 was in the kitchen
cooking breakfast, while Bob and Char
ley Ford and my husband were in the
front parlor. Suddenly heard shot.
Not dreaming of any treachery L went
IN to see the cause of the shooting.
There lay my husband on the floor
gasping for breath. He had only
strength enough left to whisper nv
name. He said: Bob Ford is traitor:
he has killed me, and asked me to
avepge his death. He died few mo-
ments after"
Mrs. James showed letter bearing
| the signature of Jesse James and dated
at Kansas City, which she says was writ
ten to her by her husband short time
before his death, but she refused to let it
be read, saying that it related to family
matters only, and was not for public
perusal. During the recital of the story
tears came in her eyes.
Mrs. James stated in her interview that
she arrived in the city yesterday morn
ing, but it was subsequently learned
that she arrived last Tuesday and has
since been stopping at the American
House.

4 Terrible Winter i'm the Rockies,

Keno (Nev Cor. New York SUM-
few days ago five woOdchoppers,
who had been at work 10 the mountains
near Lake Tahoe, started from the wood
ranch to go to Carson. As they were
passing down the mountain they heard
an avalanche coming, and three of the
men, who were in the rear of the other
two, managed to escape, but the leaders
OF the party were wbisked away in the
whlrlwind of snow and rocks. The slide
was about mile and half in length,
half mile broad and not less than
seventy-tive feet in depth, The men
who escaped came down into the valley
and gave the alarm at various points.
Several resculng parties went out, but
after digging for hours gave up the
attempt to find the victims. The snow
made C can sweep of everything il Il ITS
track, and filed the canyon at the foot
OF The mountain to Il great depth.
Over the~AIta and the Little and Big
cottonwood canyons the snow storms
aud slides have been more destructive
than many known III years. The sides
of the mountains have been stripped al
most bare by avalanches, while the can
yops have been filled with snow and ice
so deep that it will be very late before the
accumulation can possibly melt away.
In the Little Cottonwood the slides have
carried away the works around the mines
and demolished nine or ten miles OF
snow sheds over the tramwar. There
has been perfect stampede from Alta,
the only people remaining having placed
themselves out of the reach of slides. In
the Big Cottonwood they have had ava
lanches six miles in length, aud the
creek is completely blockaded. Iu the
South Fork every foot of the mountain
has been swept bv avalauches, some of
them of such Tremendous power as TO
make the inhabitants of the neighbor-
hood tremble. The stream is buried in
some places under 200 feet of snow

Washing VS.. Working Butter.

With mirthfal face, with curly hair.
With laughing lips and eyes.
he came to us as pure and fair
AS cherub from the skies.
How glad we were to greet him here
With words OF love and Joy
What gift from God could be more dear
Than our sweet baby-boy
We watch him while he calmly lies
In cradle fast asleep;
We smile to see him when he tries
Across the floor to creep.
He gaily prattles all the day;
he gives US good employ:
he dawes our household gloom AWAY
This bouncing baby-boy.
Sometimes the Silly night he breaks
With cries that XIII repose:
Sometimes at early morn he wakes.
And laughing kicks and crows.
He VIII not let us sleep or dream,
Or needed rest enjoy;
But o how still our house woul a seern
without our baby-boy
His little feet, in coming time,
May learn to bravely run
The rugged mountain-top must climb
Ere honest fame be won.
May angels guide his little feet
From highways that destroy,
To manhood, noble, pure, complete
God bless our baby-boy
