Business called him out, however,
though the weather was bad. and about
10 o'clock he returned laden with par

a package of thoroughwort, a paper Of
leather shoe lacings and sundry other
articles.
On his way he passed the house Of

A Corner in Cats.

"You may talk about your wheat
corners" said the old '49er, but they
don't compare with the corner in cats
a man got up in California in the early
days. San Francisco at that period
was a tumbledown village of pine
boards built on n marsh. The place
was overrun with large long tailed,
voracious rats which made life burden
to the inhabitants We who lived there
then weren't particularly delicate in our
personal tastes, but when it cane to
losing toes and fingers while we slept
we got right up and objected TO the
limit of our vocabularies. There were
n few cats in the town, of course, but
they were kept too busy TO increase
any, and their daily walks were so full
of excitement that they didn't live long.
Well, IL finally got to be ease OF too
bad, and cats We're quoted on the
bourse at fifty dollars per ordinary cat.
Experienced eats and cats with.
records brought higher prices. Down
in the southern part of the state they
had more cats than they knew what to
do with. A sharp chap in Los Angeles
heard about the state Of affairs in
Frisco. and he goes and borrows all the
money he can and then buys up every
cat south OF Tehachipi at four for one
dollar. Then he loads Cap Haley's Sea
Bird with 'etn, brings EN- up 10 our town
and auetions 'em of. He gets as high as
seventy-tye dollars apiece, and clears
several thousand dollars. The eats did
the business, too, and inside 81 III seeks
there wasn't solitary rat in San Fran
cisco But we had time Afterward

Pleasant Pellets have done their
work. It's a work that isn't fin

all done so mildly and gently !!
There's none of the violence that

perfectly harmless - the smallest,
cheapest, and easiest to take.
They're the cheapest pill you can
