department. to go out and hunt for Char
lie, whose last name is O'Brien. Miss
ing children are reported every hour OF
the day at headquarters, and they did
not see anything unusual in Charles
disappearance until the facts came out
They turned Charles aunt, who lives
at IL Sheldon street, over to Detective
Swan.
The detective, with due regard for
the sorrow at the thought of the lost
Charlie, prepared to ask number Of
questions. Tears almost welled up in
his eyes as he pictured the little lost
one wandering helplessly about in the
streets of a great city.
"What time yesterday did you miss
him." he gently inquired.
Sure, it wasn't yesterday at all !
missed him." said Charles aunt.
'How long ago was it!' softly asked
the detective.
Three years ago come last Monday, :"
was the answer.
Mr.. Swan fell back in his chair with
a dull thud. "Three years, did you
say?" and he looked out of the window
so he could have laugh all by himself.
"Have you a picture of him?'' asked
Mr.. Swan, and the caller produced a
tintype of a clever looking little chap.
"That was taken some years ago, "
said Charles aunt. HE was 6 years
old then"
"And how old was he when he disap-
peared?" asked Mr.. Swan.
HE was over IT," was the answer.
Mr.. Swan gasped again. "And then
he's about 81 now, he remarked. "And
then he's been missing three years, and
you don't know where he is, and we've
got the picture of boy 6 years old to
find him with That picture looks about
as much like Charlie as do. The best
thing you can do if you want to find
Charlie is to advertise. ''-Providenc8

CHICAGO, Feb. TT shall not soon
forget" said man whose eyes were
shaded with green goggles on a subur-
ban train this morning, chow thor
oughly was startled by the curious &C
lions of a chap who one day came into
/ the office in New York where l was
then employed as bookkeeper. Al
though it was broad daylight, he had
in his hand bullseye lantern, his
shoes had rubber soles, so that he could
walk noiselessly, and he was without
coat and wore in place OF vest sort
of long sleeved, closely fitting short
Jacket He walked up to the big safe
without word, suddenly threw him
self fat on his face and began to peer
under the huge iron box, using the
light of his bullseye to assist him in
his search for whatever he was after In
moment he was on his feet again and
had left the room. My fellow clerks and
myself were all much puzzled, and it
was some time before we learned that
the fellow was rat catcher, and the
object of his search under the safe was
possible rathole. Before the day was
over he had visited every part OF the
building from subcellar to mansard,
and he made exceeding short work Of
the rats that had grown altogether too
numerous for the comfort or convenience
of the human tenants Of the place. l
have been moved to relate this little
"Reminiscences, " continued the man, tax
ing off his goggles and wiping them,
''by reason of the story I read day or
two ago in the newspapers about the
overrunning of the old Boston mine in
the anthracite coal regions near Wilkes
barre, Pa, with rats have been some
what interested in whatever L read
about rats ever since that New York rat
catcher gave me such a start.
"Well, said typical Chicago man

my life. My business, you know, has to

fresh water seas myself. Sometimes we
would have great many Of the rodents
aboard at the beginning of a trip and
very few at the end, for rats will some
times desert vessel en- masse while it
is lying in port. No. have no faith in
the superstition that desertion by rats
foretells coming disaster, for l have
known rats to leave in such great num-
bers at Milwaukee, say, that we would
be free of them when we got in here,
only to be we'll loaded with the pests
when we left this port. Rats are great
travellers. They often go the length and
breadth Of the lake system to my knowl-
edge. Many an old rat has seen every
port from Buffalo to Duluth, in my
opinion, and there are salt water sailors
who will tell you that rats sometimes
circumnavigate the globe.
"There are more rats than human be-
ings in the world, I'm told. A profess
sional rat catcher of my acquaintance
estimates the number in the United
States as five times as many as that of
men, women and children.

tons Annual Outing.

A temporary adieu was said to Hot
Springs at $40 Wednesday morning, aud
many a longing look was taken at the
plunge bath as we rolled up Hos Brook
canyon, the guests for the time being OF
the peerless Burlington road. 1t was
but a short trip to Minnekahta where
we caught the north. bound train on the
main line. As the train speeds on its
journey the real beauty of the Black
Hills begins to be revealed. The ride to
Custer resembles greatly journey
through portions of Ohio OF New York.

There is nothing of the rugged, barren,
rocky landscape encountered near Butfa-
10 Gap or Hot Springs but instead, the
parks and the most charming sylvan re-
treats. Custer is reached about 1890
where the excursionists are warmly
greeted by a large delegation of citizens

sometimes when least expected. During
the rr-Harvey debate Saturday this
question from an Illinois man was hand
ed to Mr.. Horr: SIS 1t not fact that
the New York Tribune, in whose employ
you are, has charged the use of British
money to induce a reduction OF our tariff
laws and il so, is it not as likely that
British money has influenced financial
legislation?" In view of the fact that
the question had direct reference to the
decentralization of silver by the Republic
can party it was most pertinent one.
The fact OF the matter is no intelligent
man believes that British money or
British influence ever had anything to
do lwith shaping legislation of any
kind in this country Notwithstanding
all the lies put out by Republican news
papers to make it appear otherwise. 1t
pays for newspaper to be honest in the

the opinion was that outside OF Niagara

anything more wonderful than the rock

immense granite rocks, standing up
