Peculiar Accomplishment
Roscoe Franklin, Of Brockton, Mass.
owns a bay horse, known by the name
of Shiloh, that is possessed of a peculiar
accomplishment. Mr.. Franklins stable,
a 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 be OBJ
served short time since that in Shiloh's
stall there was to be found every morn
ing one or moro of the rodents, dead,
the crushed bodies of which indicated
that they had died violent deaths, but
what that death was remained a mystery
until one of the stable men discovered
that the big bay was himself their ex-
ecutioner.
He was then watched at tho work, and
the strategy and cunning of the animal
is said to be remarkable. He will stand
over a rat-hole for any length of time
without stirring, his ears alert and his
eyes fixed 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 il no 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 tho 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 ana
again, and if 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 cyc on tho spectator, as II to say:
I'll get him vct."
