can l catch rats without gettin a bite?
Why, it's a simple secret. A rat will never
bite you if you act like you wasn't afraid
Put your hand right down on a rat and
he'll never bite you, but If you try to take
away your hand while he is near it he'll
pinch it quickern' a flash. You saw the
way let that rat go out of my hand into

a rat go l place him down with my hand

trap, and in it were four rats. Peoples
opened a small door at the top, and un-
hesitatingly thrust his hand, allowing
his finger ends to rest on the floor of the
trap. He then shook the cage lightly
with the other hand, and one after an
other the rats ran up his ample coat
sleeve. With his free hand he caught
each as it ran out at his armpit and care
fully allowed it to go into one of his ca
pacious pockets. One of the rats was
quite large; the others were rather small.

CAUGHT MS TRAIN on HORSEBACK
The Runaway Locomotive Had Many
Sleeping Passengers in Tow.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
San Bernardno, Oct 30-Early on
Wednesday morning the engineer and fire.
man of the Santa Fe overland train, bound
east, when near Cajon Pass, imagined they
saw something on the track right ahead.
Thinking the train was about to be wreck

rather badly hurt. but when the fireman
picked himself up out of the dust he found
that the engine had made kindling wood
OF a wagon to which two horses had been
attached. Their driver had seen the head
light of the engine and had jumped in
time to save himself. and the animals
themselves were cropping the dried grass
along the roadside. which showed that
they had not been greatly disturbed by
the accident.
But the train, with nobody al the en-
gine's throttle was plunging away through
the darkness, the passengers asleep in
their berths, utterly unconscious that they
were being drawn by a wild locomotive.
The fireman. who had been left behind
ing train on foot. Then he changed his
mind, and. jumping astride one of the
horses, he set out after the runaway train.
He knew it must stop shortly, as it had to
climb a very steep grade, and if the fire
under the boilers was not kept up the sup
ply of steam would not furnish sufficient
pressure to keep the wheels going around
The Vagrant train did not stop a mile and
a half from where the accident occurred.

point. and SO the conductor and brake
man hurried ahead with their lanterns to

horse he had borrowed. After explanation
had been made he turned his horse to-

steam was raised the overland went on

Washington Dispatch to Glohe-Demo-
crat.
II is probable that the matter OF
ratifying the agreement with the
Comanches and lilowas and of opening
the Fort Sill country will be dropped
so far as this congress Is concerned
Within three or four days, Just as the
senate seemed Inclined 10 do some
thing, that ravenous Choctaw and
Chlckasaw lobby has doomed up again.
1t Is the same lobby that pulled out
nearly Sl,000,Q00 u couple Of years ago
as Its share Of an alleged equity Of
these two tribes in the land bought
from the Cheyennes and Arapahnes.
The Choctaws and Chickasaws claim
an equity In pretty much everything
that is left In the Indian Territory,
And this vornclous lobby owns the
Chootaws and the Chickasaws. Just
as coon Az the news went out that the
senate thought of opening the Fort sill
country by a provision in the Indian
appropriation bill the lobby rushed to
Washington to insist that the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw equity he recog-
nised In the provision. With the recol-
lection OF how this same lobby pulled
the hundreds of thousands OF dollars
out of the treasury on the other pur-
chase, the senators concluded TO let
the big reservation remain for the next
congress to wrestle with.
This Choctaw and Chlckasaw lobby
not only claims an equity in the Fort
sill country, but in Greer county also.
and proposes to make the United
states pay for this equity II the SUI
preme court decides that the title is
not vested In Texas 1t will be re-
memhered that President Harrison and
Secretary Noble stood out against This
lobby until the administration came TO
an end. The lobby Is a very powerful
one. II worked congress once and got
its money out OF an almost empty
treasury when the administrntion
came in. 1t is now going about its
work aBgressively and systematically
TO get another big divide out of the
government. What It's power is may
be judged from the refusal Of the sem
ate to proceed with the opening Of the
