NIX. Laureson, Of Vieksburg, Miss,
has adopted a scheme by which he
keeps himself rid Of both rats and
mice. This is accomplished by catch
ing a young rat and training him to
eat mice. This singular mouser,
whose name, by the way, is Gear, is
doubtless the most successful one on
record. He has been Iaught to pounce
upon a mouse on short order, without
fear and without favor, and he shows
no mercy. OF course he can follow
the mice into close quarters, and has
never been known to lose his quarry.
Strange to relate, large rats have
given the house the go by also, SEEM
ing to understand that the place be-
longs to the Gar, and that there must
be no encroachment upon his prerog-
alive.
Laureson is very fond of his queer
pet, and has taught him many inter-
estiug tricks Among others he has
taught him to handle a bow, and with
a miniature violin Gear manages to
scrape the strings in a way that is not
unmusical OF eourse.i it has been inn
possible to teach him to really play a
piece, but sitting upon his hind legs,
with his fiddle grasped in his tiny
claws, Gar produces a sort of half
screeching sound that is altogether
weird and fantastic. lLaureson is him
self violinist of no mean order and
Gar likes nothing better than to sit
on his masters knee and listen to his
playing. Philadelphia Times,
