PET RAT ACTS MEAN.
hit Its Tiny Mistress, who Had to lie
Taken Ia the Hospital.

Children sometimes adopt strange
animals for pets. In Philadelphia two
little girls can be seen almost every
day playing with pair of tiny alli-
gators, and neighbor of theirs, three
year-o!d Violet Ricketts,, of 1925 SUM
mer street, took a great fancy to rat.
Last week she was carried to the llahnc-
mann hospital suffering intensely from
bite in the hand from the animal.
The rodent which caused the child's
injuries belongs to the neXt-door neigh
Dor of the Ricketts,, and was captured
in n trap several years ago and tanned.
1t is in the habit of running about the
neighborhood, and for long time has
been a frequent visitor at the Ricketts,
house.
The child and the rat became great
friends. The other afternoon the lit
tie girl was feeding it when n big dog
belonging to her father came in the
room. The rat became angry and
jumped ut the baby, catching the little
ones hand with its teeth. The child's
cries brought her mother, who tried to
set the dog on the rat, but the dog re-
fused to interfere, as the pair had been
long friends.
The rat then turned upon Mrs. Rick
etts, who had a hard time TO prevent it
biting her She finally threw piece of
wood AT. the little animal, and he ran
through small hole in the kitchen by
which it had been accustomed to go and
come to the adjoining house The child
was taken to the hospital, and the physl-
clans found it necessary to take five
stitches in the und.-Chicago Chron-

FEMALE CONvICTS.
OF Russia Doomed to Penal Scrvitude
on Snkhnlien Island.

a correspondent writing from Odessa
says: Within the last few days there
have arrived here So female convicts
at Moscow and Khsrkoff for embark
ment to the penal island of Sakhalien.
Nearly the whole OF these wretched
women have been condemned to de-
portation and hard labor on capital
charges or other equally heinous crimes.
About one-third of them are guilty of
child murder. About Il score of these
female convicts have been convicted of
numbering their husbands, some Of
them no doubt driven TO the capital
crime by the brutal i'll usage which the
Russian law permits to the husbands
discretionary correction" while
others are the heroines-or the victims
of more or less romantic tragedies.
Among those of the latter category
whom / saw recently there is n beauti-
full woman of about 81 years of age, n
lovely brunette, with dark, liquid eyes
and with a supple and perfect figure,
which even the unsjghtly and baggy
prison garb failed entirely to conceal.
On this convict's handsome face there
was not trace of 0smpunction or re-
morse; her features wore the serene
composure and fixed resignation She
was forced into q loveless marriage
with landed proprietor, who, failing
to win her wifely affection, made her
life a burden by bis studied brutality
and by occasionally locking her up in
her apartments until she was well-nigh
famished.
Ia neighboring proprietor the i'll
used wife found sympathetic friend,
and this friendship ultimately ripened
into strong mutual affection. An
elopcment was clandcstinely planned
between the lovers and secretly be-
trayed by a maidservant to the hus-
band The latter determined to sur
prise his wife in the act Of leaving his
house, and at midnight rendezvous
she had just entered the carriage pro-
vided by her protector when he APP
pearcd upon the scene and attempted,
with many vile epithets, to forcibly
draw his wife home again. Before her
lover had time to intervene the des-
perate woman drew her revolver and
shot her husband through the heart,
killing him on the spot.-London

A CALIFORNIA LYNcHINo. :

Corpse.
had been spending a week in the
Ban Gabriel canyon, and one day while
engaged in whipping the stream for
trout came upon party of men as
sembled under the spreading branches
OF live oak tree.
AZ took but moment for me to dis
cover that l had stumbled quite acct
dentally upon lynching party, and /
stood as one fascinated.
There is something terrible in the
dealing out of justice by few stern
faced men. There is no law delay, no
lawyers fine-drawn points, no power of
money.
Grim and silent they move about their
work. And the sight of the silent
swinging figure swaying in the breeze
is warning to evil-doers that is not
lightly to be disregarded.
When arrived on the scene they had
placed burro under one of the spread
ing branches and seated the culprit
upon it.
Don't pull tibet blame moose so dern
tight, JIM" cautioned the man on the
burro, 81 can't spit"

'Frum the racket we heard up thar
last night, Sam, | reckon tibet thar
amt no wife left"
"Wul, then, bring down her corpse
an let me look at tibet. Hits my last
wish, boys" he added, pathetcally.
The men consulted together for n
moment, and then two of them started
up the canyon, in the direction of the
condemned man's,eabin.
what are you hanging this man
for?" asked.
''Wife beatin'," replied one of the
men. grimly. He's a newcomer, an only
arrived yesterday. an he celebrated his
arrival by beatin' his wife. Why. durn
hit all. We could hear the racket fer ten
miles, an hit was kept up fer three
hours. We caught him this morning
hiding in an old prospect hole. an we
ar goin' ter teach him tibet he can't
beat wimmen in this yere canyon!"
AT this point the mans wife arrived
on the scene. She was six feet tall, and
weighed 200 pounds.
Madam" said the leader, war thar Il
fout up at yer cabin last night?"
Thar wuz."
"An' did he abuse you?"
"IIe did. Why. the ornery critter
ran away before had him half licked!"
The crowd gave a gasp and fell back,
while the man on the burro grinned.
Madam" stammered the leader, 1--WE

Mel" yelled the female, rs sheseized
the leader. "ye gol derned miserable
apology fer a man, want We ter nnder-
stand tibet thar amt no critter tibet
wears pants tibet kin do thet.'
She dropped the leader and made for
the rest of the crowd. but they scat
tered in alarm and fed.
The last that / saw of the female she
was leading her truant husband back
to the cabin with the rope still around
his neck while he was wildly begging
the scattered crowd to be men and come
back and hang HMM. Y. World.

InxnIids, Needs.

Few people who are in strong health
know how much trihes affect the nerve
and indirectly the recovery of invalids.
Physicians consider it essential that an
inyalid's room be an open, cheerful one.
Fire goes far toward maintaining a
supply of fresh, pure air, and is de-
light in itself. Where the nerves are
sensitive have the coal brought up in
paper bags, so there will be no noise
when the fire is supplied with fuel.
4 bright picture, new bedroom
Jacket or new shawl or any pretty new
article of furniture will serve to interest
an invalid who is able to be up and help
to keep him from thinking too much
about himself at a time when such
thoughts are apt to be gloomy ones.
A cheerful nurse is always treasure.
Patients under such care recover much
more rapidly.-vN. Y. Tribune.

KILLED HIS KEEPER.
How an Elephant In India WINS Pun
ishcd for the Crime.

Did you ever see an elephant
whipped? | don't suppose you would
ever forget it if you did. They fire.
quently do it in India, because ele-
plants are very cbstreperous at times.
Recently an elephant, Abdul, was
convicted by court-martial for killing
his keeper, and sentenced to so lashes
and two years imprisonment.
Two elephants led Abdul to an open
space, and in the presence of the whole
battery the punishment began. The
culprit trumpeted in fear, and made
an unearthly noise.
There were II elephants on one side,
and the officers and men Of the battery
on the other three. In the center Of this
hollow square stood Lalla mo. u, the
hogger, and the prisoner. The latter
was chained by the four legs 10 as many
heavy iron pegs, and could not move.
Fastened to Lalla's trunk was an inn
mense cable chain. When all was ready
the major gave the word, and down
came the chain with n rcsounding
whack. Abdul roared for all he was
worth. Fifty times was the operation
repeated, and then Abdul was taken to
n compound, where he was to remain
prisoner for two years.-Answers.

FACTS ABOUT EURS.
or Value to Ladies' at This Time OF
the Year.


Dyed furs should never be brushed
by inexperienced hanes.
Cheap furs are as expensive as cheap
iewelry. Fine furs cannot be mistaken.
Expensive furs are often sent to
American dressers to prepare from Eu-
ropcan furrers.
4 little beating once Il week improves
every fur article, after which shaking
will do well.
Wolverine trimming, made to initiate
sable tails, costs to cut and sew $50
per yard. one inch wide, material not
included.
Furs, if properly taken care of, are
almost ndestructible. They retain
their value longer than any other ar
ticle of woman's wear.
Fur capes and collarettes can be worn
at the seaside without danger of being
spoiled. a wet brush and quick drying
will take salt water out of them.
Fur collarettes and capes are best
taken care of when used in spring,
sumner and fall. Winter garments
are nowhere better taken care of than
with the party that makes il n business
to store them.
Moths do not enjoy diet of cedar
wood, camphor and other advertised
nostrums, but their presence does not
spoil their appetite for furs. a healthy
rattan in the hands of a healthy furrier
means death to moths and their larvae.
