How Two Pet Cats Came TO Their

have records which would make a ratpit
champion feel keen pangs of envy. | is
around the markets whore the gregarious
rodents gather by the thousand that the
dogs operate, and more particularly at the
market that runs from Clay street through
TO Merchant.
This is the oldest market in the city per-
haps and the most ancient inhabitant
would cultivate a headache by trying 10
guess how many generations of rats had
lived and died there. The butchers. fish
men and others who have stalls there suf-
fered for years from the ravages of the
animals and tried many devices to rid the
place of them, but in vain until of late.
Every morning though now there is q
slaughter OF the ''pesky critters" tbr, ugh
the aid of Mr.. KesSing's two dogs. whose
names, by the way. are Gyp and Nellie BLY,.
The market men have several new
fashioned rat-traps by which fifteen or
sixteen rats can be corraled at a time and
that number is usually found in them each
morning. At an early hour these traps
and their squeallng inmates are taken out
on the Clay-street sidewalk and there The
two dogs are found waiting to ENJOY their
daily sport.
As fast as the rats can be let out of the
traps the agile dogs snap them up, shake
the life ont of them and then pile the
bodies together. No matter how fast the
IS come the dogs are ready for them,
On several occasions hree rats have been
let out at time and one dog would kill
two at once and then run the third down
the street, kill 1t and bring it's body back
to the pile.
In eighteen months only two rats have
escaped from their enemies. One got
down cellarway, and another slipped
through grating.
On an average the dogs get away with
from twenty-five to thirty rats each morn
ing. The performance, which has been
going on daily for some months, usually
tracts large crowd of interested spec
tai Ors, who enjoy hugely the cleverness of
the dogs and the cunning of the rats in
trying to get away from the jaws of the
CANNES. Once or twice the police have
made an effort to put stop to the killing,
but as the rodents are killed almost in
SANITY by the dogs, and the benefit TO the
market men by their determination is so
evident, there is no longer any inter-
ference.
Sometimes there are lively little Incl
dencts attached TO the performance. Once

Police I. G. Coekrill had seen the rat run
nlng and he joined In the chase. The rat
was IN ally caught and laid on the pie, but
at the expense of considerable quantity
or glassware and bottled refreshments, not
TO mention the proprietor's dignity.
On one other occasion the dogs were
allowed to run around loose in the market
for one night-ope night only. La the
morning the floor was not strewn with
rats, as was expected, but instead two pet
cats were found stretched cold In death.
After the sport at the Clay-street
market the dogs wander abroad aud visit
all the other large markets, where they
carry terror and humiliation To the rats.
OI late the market men say the rats have
become sctrcer and the dogs are looked
upon as benefactors.
Their coming is hailed with delight by
the market men, who make pets of them.
Sometimes the dogs are bitten by the
vicious rats but their wounds ara dressed
with carbolic salve by their owner. Lat
terly, the market men say that the rats
have become scarcer, and 1t is very evil
dent that either the rats do not multiply
fast enough to satisfy the rapacity of the
dogs or else they have caucused and de-
cided that Gvp and Nellie Bly, are bad
