hooks which are at the joints of their
wings and when they are not sleeping
they scurry around after food.
The janitor OF the church whose
duties frequently cause him 10 go into
the basement has several times wit
messed battles between the bats and the
large black rats which infest the place.
A-dozen of them will watch patiently
for hours for such small prey as a
mouse and when one appears they
swoop down upon him and after a live
" struggle amid much squealing and
tapping of wings against each other
they generally subdue him. After that
fight is over there is another among
the bats themselves to see which shall
get the biggest share of the prey. If
in the conflict any of the bats is wound
ed or otherwise incapacitated from tax
ing care of himself the other bats set
upon him and eat him, too.
Last summer the church was entirely
freed from them for a short time. This
was brought bout by the furnace ten
der. who left the window open TIL mid
night and then when the bats had
flown away on their nocturnal Journey
ing he closed it. When the bats re-
turned they tapped around the win
dow trying to get in and finally had to
seek another abode. Since that time
the windows have been left open and
the bats are just as much at home as
ever.

WOMEN IN OFFICE.
The New England Girl and the Widow
Are the Ones Who Remain.


In the offices in Washington the
principal rival OF the widow is the New
England young woman, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. There
are Massachusetts girls who taught
school twenty and thirty years ago
who got into the departments and are
there yet. In the first place. the New
England girl has been educated TO the
idea OF making her own living and to
regard marriage as very improbable.
She is, first of all, scholar, and a
scholar of natural capacity and breadth
of character. She can do anything any
man can do except, possibly, climb a
tree. But she can climb a civil service
examination. which is infinitely of
more importance to the government
aud to herself. She may be widow,
but she gets there, and she stays to a
ripe old age. In fact, there IS no rec
ord of any widow or New England girl
dying or getting married from gov
ernment Office. Any one Of them would
scout the idea of leaving a salary of
81 coo or 81, 200 or 81 900 or 81 500 year
to DO housework for some man who
can't earn as much himself. So the
New England girl and the widow stick
TO salary and leave romance TO CAL
low fools
as the civil service record shows that
about one woman out of every sixth
clerk is called for by bureau officials.

A tragedy occurred near the mouth
of Willow creek, S. d., recently which

brought the instrument of destruction

Giving the brake a sudden turn and
twisting off the current, he sprang from
the platform before the car stopped,
and reached the sidewalk Just in time

will ever sound sweeter to him than
