The BeIled Rat Not IA Success.

An interesting occurrence took place on
Commerce street yesterday. In the new
fashioned rat trap in use at "A prominent
wholesale grocery store was found one of
the largest of rodents. \ number of gen
tlemen present were discussing the great
size of the rat when the senior partner
said:
Gentlemen, I'll tell you a plan | have
to dispose of that rat. | have always
heard that if you bell rat he will chase
all the other rats OF the place. | will
therefore bell this rat with your assist
ance."
\ small bell and chain was sent for,
while the task of securing the rat for bell
ing was begun. y number of cords were
passed into the cage over the head, feet
and body OF the rat. The rat was then sue
cessfully bclled and turned loose. He re-
fused to move for few seconds, lying
prone on the ground As if resting himself;
then suddenly he started oil among the
barrels of sugar and tierceS of meat.
Soon II commotiun was heard in the rear
of the store, and following it appeared the
whole force of cats that do duty ut the
store. On they came, and reaching the
front door, put out rs fast as they could
run. The senior partner, as well as the
others present, witnessed the strange per-
Torrance, but ugne was more surprised
than the senior partner, who gave vent to
his disappointment rs follows:
"Well, it didu'J work, did IT, Instead of
running the rats away, the rat ran all my
cats away, Mobile Register.

CHASED AND SHOT BY INDIANS AS
tiE GALLOPED FOR HELP.

The Fellow Was Lazy and Indoleni
Around the Camp, but lie Was Ready
when an Emergency Arrived. and He
Did Ills Duty Like an Old Soldier.
"RideY" said the colonel, there's moth
ing in the world can touch an Indian for
riding. lie can ride on a pouy's neck, on
bis side. on his finnk-he can ride under Il
pony, for | have seen him do it many a
time.
"And now that we are on the subject of
riding I'll tell You about a ride that II half
breed Indian made once. | never liked
half breeds before that--auy more than /
like Indians. don't like har breeds now,
but liked that critter Joe.
"This was all down in Arizona. Never
been in Arizona, Ell? We'll, it was nice
country in those days. Your scalp was
worth Just about ten cents par value. A
friend of mine, viii Savrin, was lieuten-
ant in the -th. He picked up half breed,
the meauest looking half breed ever saw.
The whites Of his eyes showed every time
you spoke to him. | wouldn't have trusted
him il my neck had been i'll danger and
he could have saved it.
"Will found some of the soldiers kicking
and ctiAlng the half breed around camp
one dsy. The Indian was just whining
and taking It all. Win cursed the men off
the spot and threw two or three OF them
over their heels. lie took the half breed,
warmed him up and gave him something
to eat. He couldn't drive the worthless
devil away then and so made kind of a
man servant Of him, naming him Joe, but
the Indian wasn't worth rap for any kind
Of work.
"Will was an awfully reckless fellow.

He used to say that he would take ten men
and ride through a whole tribe shooting
whatever men he chose, and that they
wouldn't show fight if he could keep them
rom closing in behind him.
"He got his chance one day. He was es-
,orting q supply train wagon, you know,
leross the plain. He had about twenty in
fantry men with him.
HARASSED By REDSKINS
"a swarm of Indians came down upon
him and began to blaze away. They fired
like hailstorm. They got the wagon
rounded up and then tried to make the
Indians come in and fight him. Not bit
Of it would they have. They hung around
like a swarm of bees just out Of range
Every time he got the train in motion
down they cane again with a swoop.
They were losing mules, and VIII was raw
ing cursing mad. He couldn't make them
fight him.
80 there they staid That night the
red devils led them terrible dance, but
they stuck it out. The next day was one
of those scorching, blistering days that you
get on the plains. The sun was like a
flaming sword. and the wind that came
over the bleaoAed plain cut the skin open.
