Alaptlbllitx Of Ll,e Rat.

Let's take a look at our unwelcome guest. the rat. Does he reason? I'm sure he does. Laying aside the more or less probable yarns about his get ting molasses from 8 jug with his tail and other stories, here are some facts: Modern builders and householders have fought the rat and tried to de- prive him Of food and shelter in the land where he was born and where he may consider that he has some rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap piness.
 They have put obstruetions in the way Of the rat that might have dis couraged our feeble native black fel- low, who was driven to the wilderness years ago by the formidable brown l Norway rat, which is now a resident in every land where ships go. He is the ssfittest," and he "ft" all other rats out of business. He IS sagacious and can reason; living example Of physical courage and brain power. He knows no instinctjve routine life, such as a bee leads and rats rise superior to their environment at any time when the environment proves to be misfit. says writer in Forest and Stream.
 The brown rat, like the old sailor, has adapted himself to steel ships and Is at home in them, but it is in the cities that he gets in his fine work on gas fittings, lead pipe, cement floors, and brick drains. He ehews cement 1 floors in the weakest places and taps lead pipe for water Sewer rats' have achieved reputation on parallel lines with sanitary plumbing, and un- der the New York end of the Brook 1 lyn bridge rats are earning frigid living in the cold storage warehouses and sharpening their teeth on frozen fish and game where mans breath will turn to snow on summers day. He is enough of philosopher to take life as he finds it; he is genuine man of the world"
 AS the burglar keeps abreast of the, safemaker, so the intelligent rat steps. to the march of civilization and cold storage. This is not instinct" 1t ig the result of thought. and thought im- slies reason.

Timber Lucious.

Last week Lucious Miller, young
negro, of this city, bo'I owed load of
wheat from Ed. Cook. with the consent
of Cook, ostensibly for seed. but in
reality for Doodle. Then he ''borrow-
ed" another load from M. w. Brown
without Browns consent-and with the
proceeds of the sale of two loads,
Lucious went to Hutchinson and cele-
brated Emancipation Day. When
Lucious returned from Hutchinson he
was met by Brown and Charley Pelter,
he having hired team from the latter
to haul the wheat, and confessed to
stealing Browns wheat. County Att
torney Diffenbacher had issued war
rant and instructed the men how to
trap him and secure confession. AT.
ter he had confessed to both Brown
and Pelter that he stole the wheat,
Sheriff Aber, who was at the depot
with warrant for Miller's arrest, had
the prisoner turned over to him. Ac.
companied by the Sheriff and Brown,
Miller went to his home to change his
clothes. The two men followed him
into the house, when. after lighting a
lamp, Miller made break for the back
door. and by virtue of being a good
sprinter made good his escape. and ct

people to say whether they are
to abandon the principles of the

go into the business of subduing
reluctant colonies after the man
ner OF George LII. And a good

the republican ticket would be an
Endorsement of the King George
