How It sheuId Ne Written when the
Rodent IL Asked 20 Vacate.

Rodent IL Asked 20 Vacate.
did you ey r write letter 10 rat?"
asked Dr. Newell. the folklorist. There
is an old superstition to the effect that,
il il is desired to drive rats out of house,
the best plan is to address formal note
70 them requesting them to leave. In
doing this il is necessary that you shall be
very careful to tell them exactly by wha.
route to go, so that they may have no ex-
cuse for not obeying. Finally, the mis-
sive should be well buttered and thrust
into the rat hole. l once saw such
letter that was written to colony of rats
in all seriousness by the owner of the
premises which they were desired to
vacate. It read 'Messrs. Rats: You are
respectfully asked to leave my house be-
fore noon on the first of next month. IL
you should not do so, you will be much
disturbed, because in that event pro-
pose to tear down the building. Permit
me to refer you to the barn OF my friend,
Mr.. x, ON the high road just half mile
north of here. 1t is well stocked with
grain, which will furnish you with food
for the winter. Yours, respectfully, &C.
In book published in the 10th century
! have discovered the form of similar
letter recommended to be written to field
mice in cases where they become annoy
ing. 1t read: L adjure you, o mice,
neither to injure me. nor yourselves. The
field at such and such . place, belonging
to my neighbor So and so. freely give
you to dwell N, and You can eat what
ever grows there This inscription had
to be posted on natural stone in the
infested field. The book referred to was
merely compilation of old Latin author
tiles many centuries back, so that the
superstition speak OF is evidently of
great antiquity"

Lieut.. George II. Evans.

Lieut.. George II. Evans, troop G..
10th cavalry, who was tried recently
for drunkenness on duty, was sentenced
to be dismissed from the service, the
President yet having to act in the
matter. The Lieutenant is a young
man Of considerable ability and a good
soldier, but has liking for the cup.
which has been the result Of his ruin
in his chosen profession.-Wi lcox
Stockman. Undoubtedly if Lieut..
Evans, or "Great Scott as he was
familiarly called, was tried for being
drunk he was convicted. The cues
tion, however, arises is It right to dis
miss a man from the army for this
ofense? A boy is taken by the gov
eminent, given an education at West
Point, and sent out to a frontier army
post, where he is expected to put in
his time, but has comparatively moth
ing to do and draws a liberal salary
for doing it. What more natural
than for this youngster to put in his
time In the club room, %where@bhere is
always plenty to drink and good com
pany drink with. If the young man
iadder these circumstances drinks too
much and even finally lets liquor get.
The upper hand of him who is TO
blame? O%fcourse there is a certain
amount Of blame to be attached to the
officer, but Of a surety it does not ali
resto On hisshoulders, a large portion Of
1t rests on the system that naturally
produces this result. If the system is
at fault surely the system should
stand a portion Of the punishment.
1t is not fair to the man to be placed
under excessive temptation and then
II he falls to have to stand all Of the
punishment. If the war department
isgoing TO take cognizance Of drunk
enness IL should have some other pun
ishment then dismissal. 1t is not
right to take the best years ola mans
life and then when he is too old to
adapt himself successfully to a chang
ed condition OF affairs fire him out
into the world. As a matter of fact
an average officer who gets drunk is
OF as much value to the service in the
west as is the officer who never drinks,
and Lient. Evans was worth more
when it came to chasing Apaches,
then many Of his sober fellow officers.
1t is to be hoped that the President
will not approve the action Of the
court martial.
