A RAT-CATCHiNG FOX.
The Faithful Animal Cleared Coal MI
of Thieving Rodents.

of Thieving Rodents.
1t is well known that rats are often
to be found in large numbers on board
ship, but there may be people who do
not know that they also frequent coal
mines.
There they become great nuisance.
They steal the food from the dinner
cans of the miners; they rush to the
barns when the mules are being fed,
and cats are taken down the shafts and
kept in the mines so as to reduce the
number of the rodents.
There was a coal mine, however, in
Lackawanna valley, Pennsylvania,
which had, few years ago, better
rat catcher than any cat ever showed
itself to be.
One morning the mine foreman had
stepped into the car and started down
the shaft, when fox leaped into the
shaft and landed on the car close be-
-, iiJ24,-y-..S- ..
= me fox was trembling all over, and
looked as if it had been chased by a
plunged into the shaft to escape from
its pursuer.
1t seemed puzzled as to where it was,
and kept jumping from side to side of
the car until the bottom of the shaft
was reached, when it sprang off and
disappeared in the gangway.
The foreman told the men not to
snare or hurt the fox, and they did not,
Jerry, which Reynard was named, soon
grew accustomed to his strange sur
roundings, and before long he began to
slay the big rats in way that would
have made cat or terrier turn green
with envy.
When the mules We're being fed and
the rats fiocked to the stable, Jerry
was there, too, and the mules ate un-
disturbed Then, when they We're at
work, Jerry shifted his field of opera
tions to the neighborhood of the min
ers' dinner cans and ended the career
of many thievish rat. Nobody ever
frightened him, and so he got to be
very tame and confiding.
After Jerry had lived three months
in the mine, he must have got home
sick, for one day he jumped on board a
loaded car at the bottom of the shaft
and was hoisted to the surface.
The men never expected to see Mas
ter Reynard again, but on the second
morning afterward, he made his ap-
pearance at the breaker, stepped on
board a car and was carried down into
the mine.
The men and boys were delighted to
see him, and he at once resumed bust
ness. During the following spring and
summer he rode up the shaft every few
weeks, stayed away day or two, and
then appeared at the head of the shaft
and waited for car to take him down
Tbe rats had to hustle when jerry got
pack from his holidays.
In the fall work was suspended in
the mines, and the mules and cats
were brought to the surface. Jerry
was searched for all through the gang
ways, but could not be found, and it
was supposed that he had quietly
slipped on car and got away without
any one seeing him.
Six weeks later, when work was to
be resumed, the foreman went down
the mine and found Jerry lying dead
in the mule barn. He had never been
out of the mine. Every rat was killed,
and as there was no other food for
him to get the poor fellow had starved
to death. Golden Days.

THE treatment of al chronic disorders or
any ailment of long standing, which has
produced absolute change in the tissue at
tackled, is so different from the treatment
of acute diseases or ailments of short dura-
ton, where the function or work of the or
gan is involved, that it requires a lifelong
study and especial experience to cope with
them successfully. Drs. Beekman a1.d Pix
ley of 81 West l22d ST., New York City,
have from their experience of large cos
mopolitan and hospital practice, formulated
an original plan of treating such sufferers
at their homes. The peculiarities of every
constitution make the same disease differ
ent in every individual case, and though the
same disease has been existent in its leading
features and its results, for all time, yet the
secret of its relief is the discovery in each
case of that one popularity that no one else
possesses.
These peculiarities may have been inher-
tied, may have been acquired from habit,
may be due to a particular location, may be
brought on by the character of ones occu-
patton, or the result of some hidden or
latent disease, which has not been discov-
cred.
Unless this hidden truth is brought to
light treatment is of little avail. If this
statement We're not true, compound that
would cure disease in one individual would
cure the same disease in every one, and
physicians, and colleges, hospitals and expe-
perience would not be necessary, and all ad-
vertised secret preparations would be sue
cessful for every one and not the failures
they are.
The special feature of all treatment by
Drs. Beekman and Pixley for each individ-
ual case, which is nevertwice alike, is aimed
at these peculiaritieS and is the secret of
their success.
The results achieved by them have clearly
demonstrated that any sufferer from any
long standing disease, no matter where they
are situated, can, by their method avail
themselves of their experience even better
greater opportunity offered for a deliberate
consultation over a written statement than
could be given in person either at the home
or the office
Proof of these claims and further infor-
nation may be secured by sending to them

hAND YOU'LL REMEMBER ME-"

One evening as the sun went down
Among the golden hills,
And silent shadows. soft and brown,
Crept over wales and rills,
watched the dusky bats awning
Dip down the dusky lea;
Hardening, heard maiden sing:
And you'll remember me"
"When other lips and other hearts"
Came drifting through the trees;
'In language whose excess imparts,"
Was borne upon the breeze.
Ali love is sweet and hope is strong,
And lifes u summer sea.
woman's soul is in her song:
'And you'll remember me. "
Sill ripping from the throbbing throat,
With JOY akin to pain,
There seemed a tear in every note
A sob in every strain;
Soft as the twilight shadows creep
Across the listless lea,
The singer sang her love to sleep
With: You'll remember me"

Hired Farms.

Edward Atkinson. in The Forum, has
made special inquiry TO ascertain ~
whether The increase III the number OF
hired farms indicates 4 tendency TO the
establishment OF permanent relations of
landlord and tenant such as are custom
ary in Great Britain; t2) whether it indi-
cafes the concentration of land in fewer
hands; 81 whether it indicates better
methods of agriculture or the reverse. He
saws that the evidence is conclusive that
the increase OF hired farms does not i'm
ply the permanent establishment of the
relations of landlord and tenant after the
English fashion. 1t does not imply tie
concentration of land in fewer hands, but
rather the reverse. It does imply better
and more intelligent methods Of agri-
culture. and larger and more varied crops
produced from lessening areas of land

Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County, Tor tbs
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered as
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, SO, 12O, 100 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which 10
pay five equal annual installments, with III
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years Intending purchasers are as
surcd that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
ands, suitable for general farming. and es-
peciaIly adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $50
on acre. and for qualities grading down 70 fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

The constitutional Right of Petition.


Judge Cooley, in the course of lecture
this evening before the senior law class,
gave some attention to the Coxey move
ment, but without definitely mention
ing it. He said that the American
citizen of to-day, if asked to explain the
fundamentals of American liberty, would
find. perhaps to his own surprise, that he
did not possess the knowledge. Greece,
where the people as mass made laws
and directed their execution, was a
democracy. Our Government is not
Power is exercised by representatives.
The chief function. of the citizen is to take
part in the selection of the representa-
tives. When selected there is no power
whereby they can be coerced in their ac-
ton. Citizens may petition, but cannot
command, and if voters numbering hum
dreds of thousands were to assume to
speak in the name of the people and de-
mand specific legislation, not one to
whom the demand was addressed would
be under the slightest obligation to heed
it. The right of the voter is to petition,
and even as to this he should act through
representatives. The notion that petit
tions may be presented in person is
preposterous. If the right existed ali
legislation might be stopped by previous
arrangement to present petitions for the
purpose.-Ann Arbor Dispatch to New
