4 GOOD RAT STORY.
How They Get Away With a Case
of Eggs

Lee Rutherford, the chief pill COM
FOUNDER nj the NicolleI house drug
store, is responsible for the best rat
story of the season. AS is we'll known,
the fountain al this store does the ban
ner fzZ business Of the city, and
soft drinks. both hot and cold, are on
tap the wear round. Among the fads in
soft beverages are several that require
the use of eggs. such as egg phOsphates.
hips and the ike, and, in order TO
supply the demand. the eggs are
always purchased wholesale or by the
case.
OF late it has been noticed that the
rapid manner IN which the eggs diSap-
peared was out of all proportion 10 the
call for drinks, but where they
went To was mystery that
puzzled every one around the store.
The other day. however, the mystery
was cleared up. and in q very peculiar
manner. Having occasion TO go into
the cellar, Mr.. Rutherford was sur
prlsed TO see a procession of
several big rats near the egg
case, and, keeping still, he
proceeded 10 watch their movements.
One Of the rats. a patriarchai gray old
fellow, lay stretched on his back on the
floor and be was all curied up. having
in his feet an egg, while the other rats
were Juggling away at his tail. drawing
him in this manner TO their hole. They

The business Of holding up people by

such frequent occurrence as 10 excite

thieves have gotten away.
The boldest highway robbery that has
taken place Yet occurred Saturday
