STR EFT SAYINGS.

The most successful and accomplished rat
hunter in the city Is Ehle Allen. He goes
after the rodent in about the same manner
that Montanian stalks for deer. Last night
Ehle armed himself with a hardwood cane and
double-action dog, and went up into the
kitchen of the Merchants accompanied by
several friends who were anxious to see the
fun. The rat holes had been previously
stopped and there WAS no chance of escape
for the Nocturnal foragers. Twenty lively
minutes were spent in the kitchen, and at the
end of that time twenty-seven moribund rats
lay in a pile in the middle of the floor. One of
the rats, during the chase, attempted TO con-
ceal himself in the trousers of one of Ehle's
friends, and it was a question for a time
whether it would be necessary or not to kill
the man in order to get at the rat
~
Speaking of killing rats at the Merchants
brings to mind story that is told of Colonel
Allen, the proprietor of that popular hosiery.
1t was several years ago, and it was d we'll
known fact that rats were giving the people
around the hotel considerable trouble. One
day rather smartly dressed young
man came up to Colonel Allen and
asked him if he was troubled with
rats. The colonel Informed him that he was,
and the young man told him that he could
kill them all. ''What will you charger
asked the colonel. "Oh, if you'll give me my
supper and let me sleep here tonight I'll kill

man. ''Al right said the colonel, who
thought he had struck descendant from the
Rat Catcher of Hamline, III do it, The
young fellow ate his supper and was given an
elegant room. In the morning he arose, and
said after he got his dinner he would begin to
kill the rats. The colonel agreed 10 this, and
two more meals were put inside of the al
legged rat exterminator. After dinner the
colonel went up to the young fellow and said
''Well, are you ready to go to work on the
rats?''
YES" he replied, ''all I want is stout

The club was furnished him, and rolling up
his coat sleeves, he looked at the colonel and

Somebody telephoned to the health Office
yesterday that there was dead dog on Waba-
sha street. Ten minutes after came another
telephone message to the effect that there
was dead dog on Wabasha street. The
sound-conveying apparatus had hardly been
put up when there was another ring, and the
health officer learned that there was a dead
dog on Wabasha street. He concluded to
hold the telephone a few seconds to learn
the awful particulars, and the message
was repeated with emphatic variation. The
phone was put up and the doctor glanced
despairingly at the aspiring mercury as he
wiped his sweating forehead. Another ring
came, and with a lusty hello! the doctor again
learned that there was dead dog on Waba-
sha street This important message was re-
peated ten more times. 1t was exasperating.
Selling the phone the new clerk yelled back,

one can walk up Jackson or Robert

they strolled, chewing peanuts and discussing
the pumpkin market as unconcernedly as if
they were tramping through a COW pasture
with only rocks and trees as spectators. 1t is
needless to say that they attracted attention.

doorway, stood little figure in white, wrapped
In the arms of q stalwart fellow who lowered
