EQUINE RAT.kILLER.

A Brockton (NIass.) Horse Which Possess.
es q Peculiar Accomplishment.
Roscoe Franklin, Of Brockton, Mass,
owns bay horse, known by the name
Of Shiloh, that is possessed Of peculiar
accomplishment. Mr.. Franklins stable,
rather old building, is infested by rats
that give the horses much trouble, steal
ing their food and making themselves
pests generally. 1t began to BIO OBJ
served short time since that in Shiloh's
stall there was to be found every morn
Ing one or more of the rodents, dead,
tho crushed bodies OF which indicated
that they had died violent deaths, but
what that death was remained mystery
until one Of the stable men discovered
that the big bay was himself their ex-
ecutioner.
He was then watched at the work, and
the strategy and cunning Of the animal
Is said to be remarkable. He will stand
over rat-hole for any length Of time
without stirring, his ears alert and his
eyes hxed on the hole Then as the rat
breaks cover abruptly and hurriedly, as
they always do, Shiloh brings down
the sharp hoof of his uplifted foot upon
his little but harassing foe, crushing the
life out of him, and II he fails to strike
the willy creature will overtake him
with outstretched neck, and seizing
him in his powerful teeth throw him
against the side Of the stall, thus break
ing his back.
1t is but seldom that this curious
ratter fails to kill his prey. The horse
actually seems to enjoy the sport, for
he will repeat the trick again and
again, and II any one stands and
watches him at it he will, without ceas-
Ing to be on the qui vive for the rat for
an instant, occasionally turn his intelli-
gent eye on the spectator, as II to say:

A Chip of the old block.

AT a recent banquet a bright young the
Dlogian told a very good story on his respect
ed father, who is an old and tried member of
the cloth. As Is well known, the theological
students, before they begin the formal prac-
tice of theology, are required to preach SER
mon before an assemblage of the gray boards
of the church who have pounded pulpit cush-
ions for decades This is most trying or
deal for the students, and they go through it
with paisied knees and quivering lip The
young theologian in question was well known
to the ministers of the denomination, as his
father had been OF their number for years,
and, as the old gentleman was naturally
proud of his boy, the young mans effort was
listened to with interest by all present. To
tell the truth, the old gentleman was bit
disappointed, but the young man was dread
fully embarrassed in the presence of his eld-
err, and did not do himself justice As he
walked slowly home with his father the old
gentleman said, after a long pause; Charlie,
that was regular schoolboY essay of yours.
The young nian was about to make some ex-
cuse when one of the dominies who had been
present walked up behind them, slapped the
boy on the back and said: Charlie, you're
evidently chip of the old block" The old
gentleman made no further criticism of his
sons first effort.-Chicago Herald.
