RATS THE CAUSE.
Though the following story might In
duce persons given TO slang TO use a brief
but expressive remark, 1t Is nevertheless
true.
Officer Irwin, who has the beat on the
south side OF the lower part OF Gladstone
avenue. the other morning saw a sight
that surprised him.
About 3 o'clock he was near tho bridge
and he noticed man asleep on two
strawberry crates, with "a pillow or what
did services as pillow. bag filled with
something, under his head. The officer
knew the man To be a tenant Of the house
opposite. who had to sleep out Of doors on
account of the heat.
Officer Irwin stood couple OF minutes
looking at the sleeper, and then he saw
rat run over the mans clothing and
begin Juggling at something in the bag
used as n pillow
Tho rat found tho mans shoulder good
point from which TO attack the bag and
when the rat got too close TO the collar
hand the man would move his hand as IL
a mosquito or fly was disturbing his
sluinbers.
The rat Kept at it's work and there were
other rats on the box. Rats when food Is
as Plentiful as in the place referred to
never attack the body Of n live man and
the officer who has had much experience
on land and water knew this, so he had
no fears for the personal safety OF the
sleeping man.
He also saw that the bag was what the
rat was after and after "a time the truth
OF the old saying that labor conquers all
things was exempliiled for the rat got
something out of the bag and darted of
with it followed by a number of his tribe.
The something proved TO TO small in
ilatod bladder. IL proved troublesome
thing for the rat TO get away with for 1t
would turn the other way and was too big
To got into the portico OF any rat establish
mont.
Finally there was conference of the
rats and they attacked the bladder in
force. The result was an explosion and tho
buried departure of some badly scared
rats.

q Strike Against the Reduction.

Fall River. Mass, Dec. 2i.-The con-
ference Of the operatives committee
which waited on the manufacturers
last night lasted two hours and the
discussion went into the details of the
mill situation and brought out vary
ing opinions. While it is understood
that the general sentiment is for a
strike. the method Of making the strike
operative is not agreed upon.
The delegates who took the most &C
tive part in the discussion last night
declined to talk. 1t is believed that
the influence Of the more conservative
operatives has had effect upon the
committee and it is not unlikely that a
proposition to postpone a strike will be
made
