How a Maltese Circumvented ST2 Ware
| house Rats.
Custom House Broker Jones tells q
good cat and rat story, and he vouches
for the truth of it. The fact is, he has
told it so often that he really believes
it himself, if no one else will.
Mr.. Jones formerly had charge of a
grain warehouse that was infested
with rats-great big gray fellows, with
bobbed tails and ears fringed from
fighting.
Il had to get rid of them in some
way" says Mr.. Jones, ''for it cost too
much to feed them and repair the dam

running, and on peeking out saw that
cat playing with great big rat. They
were rolling over and over each other,
and enjoying the fun hugely. That
made me hot, but l left them to their
fun. The next morning there was more
noise than before. and saw twenty or
thirty rats chasing around having fun
with that cat. On the third morning
there must have been a couple hundred
of them, and everyone was having a
barrel of fun with that cat, pulling his
whiskers, his ears and his tail.

noise, but there were three hundred
and seventy-two victims of misplaced
confidence lying on the warehouse floor
dead. The cat was cutter than the rats.
He waited till he got all of them out
