THE RODENTS REVENGE.
Employed In the Hope OF Get
ting Even With a Human Enemy.

Herman Oelrichs, hostler in tho stable
of IA west end family, had an experience
the other day which seems almost beyond
belief 1t brings out a trait i'll the char
acter Of the rat family which has probably
never before been shown.
Oelrichs was working about the stable
when he noticed an unusually large rat.
1t was in corner, so that it could not
easily get away, and picking up a club ho
proceeded to annihilate it. The rat show
cd fight. but a few well directed blows
settled 1t. Leaving it for dead. the hostler
continued his work. 1t was half an hour
later when Oelrichs, working near where
he had killed the rodent. thought he saw.
1t move. Picking up his club he prepared
to make sure he hah ended it, AS he ap-
preached it the animal proved to be very
much alive making a jump at him, just
catching his loft hand. 1t was harder fight
than before, but be finally succeeded in
dispatehing it. This time to make Ger
tain Of IL he stuck the prong Of pitchfoFk
through It's throat and again went 10 his
work. Il was something like an honr
later when the man again noticed The rat.
Its eye was open and had a peculiar, life
like appearance. GraspiBg the pitcAl0Gk.
he again started to run IL through, when
the raj sprang 10 its feet and made a most
aggressive fight, jumping at the man
legs and showing Its teeth yiciously. 1t
chung to him SO closely that it was with
difficulty that he succeeded In striking 1t,
Finally no caught 1t on tho fork and beat
IL until there could beno longer anydoubt
as to It's being dead. This time be threw
1t out In the alley to get rid fit,
Later in The day in cleanlnguphe found
two other rats, Dead one with tho mark
Of tho pitchloyk through Its throat Tho
only conclusion was that no had killed
three rats instead Of one; that the first and
second rats had been dragged away and
hidden while tho Other had attempted to
revenge their deaths, -St. Louis Globe

Carrier VS.. Currier. The testimony on
the part of the plaintiffs was concluded at
noon. Upon the coming in Of the court in
the afternoon, the presiding Judge ruled
that there was no evidence which would
warrant a submission of the case to the
jury and ordered the return of verdict
for the defendant.
Hiram o. Wiley VS.. Charles NJ. Bailey
ct ais. Savage & Oaks for plaintiff, L.
7. Carleton for defendants. This is an
action for personal injuries received CD
account Of alleged negligence and careless
ness OF defendants. The defendants own
and operate the oil cloth factory at Bailey
vile, Winthrop, and the plaintiff was in
| their employment on the 18th of March,
1893, engaged in moving barrels of whit
ing from large pile on the lower floor of
| the factory and near an elevator.
He complains that the defendants were
| negligent in providing proper safeguards
where the elevator descended to the floor
and that they carelessly and negligently
sent the elevator down frequently with
out anyone with it to control it's move
ments and prevent accident; that while
he was thus engaged in moving the bar
| rels one rolled upon him and pushed him
into the space under the elevator, which
happened at that time to be descending
without anybody in charge of it, and he
was caught by the shoulder and forced to-
ward the floor, causing shock to his sys-
tenn and iuiuring him internally, which
has finally resulted in a disease of the
heart, and that he has since been incapable
of performing any labor. He says there
was no negligence or carelessness on bis
part. He claims damages in the sum of
$40, 900. On trial

remarkable on account OF the small sum

on one of the latter's houses, last fall, by
which cellar wall was put into the
house.
Mrs. Boynton, it appears. paid SAG
She claims that this is about 81 too much
Mr.. Roby that it is 81 short of The correct
amount
One side claims the cellar was 421
feet long, the other, 42H feet. Another
question arising is in regard to some
steps-whether the price should be 81
or So.
The entire day was consumed on this
one suit. Not being settled, it will again

MIR. KIPLING'S FIRST AMERICAN
STORY.
Local Tone and Color Gained In Two
Visits of Three Day sEach-NOtes About
His Recent Visit TO New York.

The interest of literary circles Just
at present is conferred in the fact that
Rudyard kipling has written and com
pleted his first American story of any
length. 1t is, for that matter, novel;
and he has laid the scenes of the story
among the fishermen of Gloucester, on
the Massachusetts coast. This knowl-
edge interested friend of mine in
Boston who spends great deal of his
time at Gloucester, in fact, has his
summer home there. II am blessed if
can see what Kipling knows about
Gloucester or the natives said this
man. 81 know he has been there just
twice and then only for three days at
time. That seems rather short time
for man to get his facts and local
color, even for man of Kiplings gen
ius. " Be this as 1t may, Kipling's
friends know that he Is not the man to
write of things with which he is not
thorou, hly conversant. If he has
written of the Gloucester folk the fact
may be accepted that he knows them
and has studied them. OF course,
whether he can truly characterize
them adequately is another question,
and it is this in which literary people
find so much interest and speculation.
The ma n uscript has been sent to Eng
