A HUMAN RAT FERRET.
He Is an Expressnan by Day and Ra Catcher by Nj yht.

He Is an Expressnan by Day and Rat Catcher by Night.
 "There lives man in our town" who is responsible for the death Of so many rats that the wienerwurst peddlers may well regard him as their patron saint, says the Kansas City Times. By day he follows his humble calling as an ex- pressman, and does not give evidence in actions or appearance of his sanguin- ary disposition. With the approach of night he becomes a different man. While by day he is a Dr. JelIyu to the in numcrable colonies of rats, at night he is to them Mir. Hyde. Night altar night, regardless of the weather, he saunters forth with four assistant ter riers, each of whom is battle-scarred midnight hero of back alleys. From eight o'clock until after twelve he walks mp and down the alleys in the business section of the city and gives up his being to joyful contemplation of his rat-killers at work. When he sees four black shadows cut swiftly through the darkness and hears the dying squeak he knows that his self-imposed mission has been forwarded somewhat to success. Inasmuch as he has been killing rats in this fashion for several years, it may readily be seen that his record is up in the thousands. He is a tall, powerfully built man of middle age, and habitually wears a faded black cap, the visor of which he pulls down quite over his blue eyes. He takes as much pride and enjoyment in his work as his four assistants do in the aggregate. and vows that he will keep it up until he has killed one hum dred thousand of the rodents.

An Accomplishment That Is Gro wing in

 In this century fencing has made so much progress and is so essentially "a part of good cducation' that few nov ing in good society would care to admit having neglected this best of all health giving sport, says the New York Her Gld.
 As an exercise it is op a par with box ing, resembling that in its beneficial re- suits, and leaving none of the disadvan- tagcs to deal with, such as buckeyes, broken noses, etc, so often left as me hcntoes of pugilistic practice, when by some chance blow the good nature of the participant is scattered to the four winds and where the weaker, even if he be moro scientific, is sure to receive most of the punishment
 Fencing has quite contrary effect. Any exhibition of bad feeling is checked quickly, end if, even for a moment. one becomes filed with desire to ann;hil- ate his opponent he finds that strength amounts to nothing, and the one pOss- cSsing the greatest skill and cOolneSs will soon cause the other to regain his senses and to work scientifically. Any body can learn to fence, and fence well. provided he or she is willing to give it tho necessary time and study. Too much care cannot be taken in the selcc- tion of an instructor, for. like every thing else, when excellent results fol- low they arc due in q great measure to q good foundation and Q good training at tho beginning.

SHOOTING cLu--ilLc.
They Gene North in Large Tlocfs and
 Come witF, a Rush.


 My pusher and I had run CUT boat into an old blind that was standing in the middle of 6 small lake in northern Indiana. It was just noon, says a writer in Forest and Stream, and we had been running all over the country trying in vain to find the birds. We had begun to get hungry, so I proposed having some lunch, to which proposal my push CT was always agreeable.
 It was one of those warm, still April days, when everything seems quiet ex- cept, perhaps, once in awhile a cowbell is heard across the marsh, or an engine whistles some miles of.
 As we were eating our lunch I asked Bill why the bluebills had not arrived They're due now" he said, with Q wise sort of a look, land if you stay down here a day or two longer you will get some of them"
 While he was talking heard sort of rumbling noise, seemingly over head, but as l looked up I could see nothing but clear sky. It kept growing louder, until finally my curiosity was aroused, and asked Bill what he thought it was.
 ''You just wait" he said, and with the exception of a very broad smile this is all I could get out of him; so began trying to find out for myself
 By this time the noise was quite no- ticeable, and as 1 looked up could see what thought was large flock of blackbirds, but as they came nearer could sec that they were an enor- mous flock of bluebills coming in from the south.
 They swung over the lake two or three times and then lit During the after noon several more foclzs of less size went through the same maneuvers, and by six o'clock there were two thousand or three thousand birds skipping around on the lake.
 Bills prophecy had come true. The birds came and took thirty-fve of them into the clubhouse that evening, and all Bill said on the way home was: ''I told you so."
